    Pancreatitis / Possible IBD or Lymphoma Cat vomiting - HELP!!!

    Hey, First of all, I am willing to take Leo to an ER vet right now, but as his pancreatitis/IBD diagnosis is relatively new I don't know what's to be expected and what isn't. Leo was recently diagnosed with Pancreatitis and possible IBD/small cell lymphoma (we are treating for IBD rather than...

    Weak and wobbly cat, So-So Appetite

    Hi all, I've scoured the forums but this seems to be a somewhat unique situation. My 15-year-old cat, Leo, who has a history of chronic liver infections (though his blood panels have been great for the past year and a half), became very lethargic and stopped eating earlier in the week. I...

    Update on Leo: Elevated ALT & Glucose

    I posted a couple weeks ago about Leo having a very elevated ALT of 660 and an elevated Glucose of 300. He was vomiting white foam and not eating. It has been two weeks since his initial admission (he came home once but only lasted about 8 hours before symptoms re-appeared) and is now back home...

    Leo is vomiting clear, foamy liquid

    All of my cats are on scheduled eating. Leo ate lunch at 1pm today (Authority wet). When I got home at 6pm, there was a LARGE pool of vomit in the bathroom, and a pool of clear vomit in the hall. I found Leo curled up in a ball in my closet. I brought him out and held him on my lap to see how...

    Is the Site/Forum bugged?

    I keep getting these fake virus/warning pop-up windows at this site. Sometimes it completely navigates off the page to something similar. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Rachel Getting Married - Have you seen it?

    Oh my goodness. I just finished watching it and I can honestly say I haven't cried that hard watching a movie since I saw Beaches when I was 12. It was not at ALL what I expected. Have you seen it?

    Sleepwalking Hubby

    My husband is a sleepwalker. I don't mean this in the sense that he gets up in the middle of the night and wanders the house. It's more an issue of, he falls asleep on the sofa, I wake him up to come to bed, and he doesn't actually wake up. Whenever he is in this state he is extremely...

    We want to adopt a dog - are we crazy?

    For years now my husband and I have wanted a dog. I have always envisioned a houseful of animals for myself (not just cats). Ideally I'd like to adopt two dogs. They would be primarily indoor pets (although we have a fenced-in yard that they could play in as often as possible). My current cat...

    Ugh, even the best canned foods don't seem ideal!

    Soooo as you know, I've switched my cats to wet food. Minka & Leo are still half dry/half wet, but Taxi has completely switched (as we already ran out of his dry food). Currently I'm not sticking to one brand in particular, but rather am feeding them a combination of Authority, Blue Buffalo and...

    Going back to school for my MBA

    I've gone back a couple of times but just felt bored/over-worked. At the time I was working in publishing, which is an extremely fast-paced and demanding work environment that requires LOTS of overtime. I think that is why it was so hard. Now I'm in a job that is challenging but pretty much...

    Leo is driving me bonkers!

    I trip over him all the time. It's making me crazy. Every time I walk down the hall, he decides to scamper after me and somehow gets tangled up between my feet. The hall is wide enough for me and all 3 cats to walk side-by-side, why does he feel it is necessary to knock me down?! And of course...

    Oh, great. It's Cadbury Egg season again.

    I could eat Cadbury Creme Eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not a good thing for my Weight Watchers meetings!

    The "Two Minkas" Nightmare

    I have this ridiculous recurring nightmare about my cat, Minka (I'm closer to her than the other 2). I dream that she escapes. Going into a panic, I run outside and start looking for her. Eventually, I find her and am greatly relieved. I pick her up and carry her inside. But when I get to the...

    Taxi Escaped!

    My husband was in the laundry room and walked into the garage to get some tools. He spotted a neighbor and they started talking. When he went back in the garage to go in the laundry room, he realized he left the door open. He immediately shut it and ran to the front yard to look for any escaped...

    Cats Are Fine, It's HUBBY That Can't Adjust to Wet Food!

    I mean, seriously?! I've noticed that since I've switched from dry to wet, my husband has avoided feeding time altogether. I've shown him the canned food and told him how much they need (several times). Well, this morning I had to leave in a hurry. He was in the shower and after I got up I...
