    transdermal methimazole for cats

    Recently, my cat was tested for hyperthyroid. Because he was borderline, the vet wanted to give him a month of methimazole to see if there was a change in his behavior and eating habits, etc. I've been giving it to him, twice a day, on the right ear in morning, and left ear at night. Last night...

    Another problem with Gary...

    he has a circle of skin on his belly that is rotting away, and i has three slits around it, so there are three holes in his belly. every week it is another thing. I think he will probably have to have another surgery, so that is three in three weeks. I'm so sad for him.

    Gary update

    cat carriers.

    I need a cat carrier for my cat when we move to our new home. Its six hours to travel, without stops, but I have to small children, so I'll have to stop frequently, so it will be even longer. I don't live near any places to buy a cat carrier, and I can't afford much, so I was thinking of making...

    Preparing to move

    I am moving in less than three weeks. I've moved a lot, and with my cat, but never so far away. He used to be able to ride in the car fine, without a cage, but he's had so many stressors in his short life that he's gotten to be really anxious. I've never given him drugs, and I wouldn't know how...
