    Famotidine (Pepcid) and other medications at the same time?

    Hi everyone. Is it okay to give my cat, Turtle, famotidine (Pepcid) at the same time as other medications? Turtle is on enalapril, furosemide (Lasix), prednisolone, and weekly B12 injections, which are the have-to-take meds. But because of her vomiting whenever she eats anything other than...

    My 16-year-year old sweetie has pancreatitis

    Hi everyone,  A while back, my sweet cat, Turtle (16 years old), was diagnosed with pancreatitis and maybe some bowel issues as well. I thought we had found a good solution to keeping her on an even keel (prednilosone, Hills w/d dry, and SD OTC canned) but the manufacturer changed the formula...

    Cosequin

    Hi all, I'm thinking of trying Cosequin for my cat, Turtle, and wondered if you can give the pill or if you have to sprinkle it on the food. She doesn't have really bad symptoms yet--just a little hesitant about jumping on the bed and a few other things. The vet said I could try a shot they...

    I'm trying to run down something in my cat, Turtle, that happens every year for the past three years. (Although it did happen once about six years ago without being connected to shot time.) Three days after getting her yearly checkup and shots she gets a cold (runny nose, sneezing, lethargy and...

    Sore, Red Nose from a Cold

    My cat, Turtle has a cold. It's not near as bad as last year. She's seen the vet and he said no meds are needed unless it gets worse. It's not getting worse, but her poor little nose!! She's constantly licking her nose because it's runny, something she's done in the past whenever she's had a...

    Cats and Salt (in the tuna liquid) - Okay?

    My friend insists I shouldn't let my cat, Turtle, drink much of the liquid from the tuna because of the salt content. I don't do this on a regular basis, but when she's sick, like she is now, and I'm having a hard time getting her to drink water, I pull out the canned tuna and give her at least...

    Nose Spray for Congested Cats

    My Turtle is getting another cold, it seems. (I'll be having the house visit vet see her this year, if necessary.) I read this on another site and was wondering if anyone here had tried it: Shrink Swollen Membranes: You can give your cat Afrin Children's Strength nose drops (.025 percent). On...

    Hi, everyone. It's been a year since I posted, but I hang around and read a lot! Nervous about my cat, Turtle, getting her teeth cleaned tomorrow and just wanted to hear others' experiences. She went in December because of some drooling and not wanting to eat. Had a little gingivitis and...

    Do I need to Worry...

    My cat, Turtle, is dealing with a URI, which I've asked questions about in another thread. My concern now is she hasn't pooped in the litter box since sometime during the night Wednesday night. She hasn't been eating as much for about five days, and she's been changed to canned (both dry and...

    Another URI Thread---Need Support!

    Hello everyone! My cat (Turtle) is 9-1/2 and gets a URI (cold) about once a year, usually after going to the vet for her yearly vaccinations. Last Saturday, two days after the vet visit, she started that sneezing, which, of course quickly went into runny eyes, runny nose, and licking her nose...
