Hi all, It's been awhile, but I've been dealing with some mouth issues in my older cat, Katie. She was drooling and we thought it was a tooth issue but she has a mass under tongue. Vet thinks it is squamous cell carcinoma. We had already decided not to do chemo or radiation due to her other...

Hi all, It's been awhile but I have a question to run by you guys. Here is the back story. Well I took Kattie in to her vet back in June as she had lost some weight and looked kinda scruffy. We did some bloods and urine and she had a slight elevation in her BUN and Creatinine. Everything else...

Oh my this is such a sad story! I used to work for a vet and human error can happen but that is just plain negligent! As to the blindness, I have some experience with that. I have a little kitty that became blind as a side effect of the antibiotic, baytril, that she was on for an upper...

Hi all, It seems my 7 yo male cat, Oscar,  gets a sterile cystitis once a year. He has never been blocked though has had struvite crystals in his urine. This time it started over the weekend. I noticed that the pee clumps were smaller and he was visiting the litter box more frequently friday...

Wow! Old post but I'm the original poster. Poor Katie is having a minor issue with that same foot. The pad is a little chapped and swollen. I applied vetricyn spray and am going to grab some clindimycin from the vet tomorrow. I can't believe anyone would be pro declaw on this site and so was...

Hmm! The hairball thing is intriguing because it seems that's when her issues start when she has issues getting a hairball out. I do recall that happening before this all started as well. We have been using cerenia and she will eat a little but nearly her normal amount. The last time she...

Yeah it's the not knowing part and then the endless google searches that bring up all sorts of scary stuff. I have tried baby food but she doesn't seem to care for it. All she seems to want is her junky treats like temptations or pounce and then she will lift her nose at those too sometimes...

Hi all, This is going to be long so bear with me. Anyways, my cat Katie has been somewhat of an unusual cat but we've managed her health issues rather well. She basically has chronic constipation due to an old pelvic fracture that narrowed the pelvic canal so stool can easily build up. She is on...

Well, Katie went in for her recheck UA today. She had a uti a few weeks ago, but has since been normal. They did a cystocentesis and in house UA to start. The vet called back and said for the most part everything was normal. There were no WBC but she did see RBC's. Not many but they were there...

Thanks! I also tend to take the pets in whenever I am not sure. My husband gets annoyed but blockages aren't something to mess around with and he said to go ahead and take him in. Anyways, Oscar seems brighter today. He had two larger normal sized pee clumps and is not going to the litterbox...

Well, I took Oscar into my normal vet yesterday because Oscar continued to make frequent trips to the litter box with small clumps and a few that were a bit larger but still half normal size. Anyways, they kept him for a bit. My vet did a thorough exam and they also snapped a quick X-ray. His...

Thanks! And yup I know bonito flakes are fish. Not ideal but I have to keep him eating first and foremost as he is a slightly overweight cat and I worry about fatty liver disease complicating issues.i mix the bonito flakes in canned food and he will lap it up and get moisture which is needed...

Well we are about the same. Oscar is still going to the litter box frequently, but he is producing urine each time. Sometimes it is a clump about half the size of his normal clump, but then I will also see quarter sized clumps. He still has a fairly good attitude and he doesn't vocalize when...

Thanks! I just feel so bad like I caused this by bringing in the puppy. Oscar is normally very laid back and always enjoyed playing with dogs but maybe the puppy is a little too much for him. The pup is getting better though so hopefully things will turn around. This morning Oscar was his normal...

Well I posted about 3 weeks ago that my cat Katie had a uti. She is doing great now and goes in on Friday for her recheck UA. Well now tonight I got home after going out to dinner and while I was preparing the puppy and cats dinner I noticed Oscar going in the litter box a little too frequently...

Yeah she became blind after an overdose of baytril:-( apparently it is a rare reaction to the drug. She has done very well though and other than seeing her pupils huge most people don't even realize she is blind. She will jump on the bed, couch and cat tree and also on my drafting table to get...

Yeah it is hard that she is so sensitive to medications. I always worry when I have to give her stuff. She did eat some more this afternoon and drank water. She also peed a large pee clump in the litter box so that is good. Flushing out the bad stuff. She still is really sleepy and did snooze...

Yeah she is getting a probiotic already to help with her constipation issues. I am about 90 percent sure it was the antibiotic because I about two hours after getting it she acts nauseous. After the pain meds she acts loopy but will still eat. Towards yesterday evening she was a little more...

Well we are going to try yet another antibiotic. The vet feels that she is sensitive to the penicillin family. She unfortunately had bad diarrhea in the carrier on the way to the vet so we are pretty sure the amoxicillian is making her feel bad. She says she felt gassy but not a super painful...

Unfortunately she isn't much of a climber because she is blind. Though she will scale the cat tree no problem. If there is a barrier in her way she will wait for you to remove it:/ Anyways, I am thinking she might have a penicillin sensitivity in general. It wouldn't surprise me because the...
