    Please help! My 17 year old cat is...

    ...as clarification to your confusion, the urination is taking place, as i said, where a cat or small dog can crawl under (a heating system in the basement), and i can't fit under it to clean it up, let alone treat it with any sprays or odor-absorbing powders. (It's against the wall and close...

    Is k/d kidney dialysis? If so, no...currently (i don't think) Edgar doesn't need dialysis. I think, tho', his kidney failure is in early/mid stages. The (new) vet has been wonderful! - caring and gentle, both with Edgar AND us! She's given us many options, and it's up to us in which...

    Please help! My 17 year old cat is...

    Everything you're saying is accurate, per my vet's handout on this disease. We originally tho't Edgar HAD hyperthyroidism, but when his blood tests indicated negative, i admit i was disappointed, as it was "treatable". Now, in knowing that disease can spawn kidney disease, i guess i'm relieved...

    Please help! My 17 year old cat is...

    Well, everyone... Seems as though Edgar may have the onset of kidney disease, as his urinalysis show "diluted" urine. If you don't already know, it's actually good when a cat's urine is concentrated - that indicates the kidneys are fully filtering the toxins in the blood. The doctor said that...

    I hope that Coco[puff] gets better soon! I'm assuming the eColi can be treated with antibiotics(?)... Edgar wheezes, too...do you treat Coco for her asthma? I don't know much about this, as i figured it was normal, being how a cat's little nose is similar (it's pushed in) to pugs, boxers and...

    Please help! My 17 year old cat is...

    Thank you everyone for your kind words, prayers, and good vibes sent to our dear little Edgar-cat! Comically, Edgar had to spend the night last nite at the veterinarian's, because he was being too much of a kitten (squirmy) when the doctor tried to get a urine specimen! (I heard this squealing...

We have an appointment for next Tuesday evening, October 14th, with another veterinarian to get a second opinion. This doctor has "senior wellness" in their advertisement, AND she's in our end of town...

    My Cat is a Hero!!!

    Good boy, Badgerkittie!...Good boy! (i'm pretending i'm petting and praising!) It DOES sound like Badger's a handful...full of personality and individualism, though! Dogs AND cats can indeed be man's best friend! I am still awed how social cats can be, in spite of the "aloof and unavailable"...

    Please help! My 17 year old cat is...

    no, he hasn't had any kidney tests! I PRAY that it's not kidney failure, as yes, i'm aware about these types of problems in elderly cats. If it IS kidney failure, well, then it will be a matter of time... I've known several people who had cats with this...some hung on a little longer than...

    Please help! My 17 year old cat is...

    Hi everyone...I'm truthsaint's wife... Our elderly cat has indeed recently been a handful, especially when i wash up the floors, and here he comes from a freshly clean litter box, i might add, and he's tracking up the floor, BAD! Then he jumps on the furniture, making those same footprints on...
