Her breathing was getting more and more difficult so I did go through with the surgery, unfortunately she didn't survive it. Her laryngeal paralysis turned out to be more involved and the doctor thought maybe from being hit by a car or shaken by a dog and her trachea was actually fused to the...
I have had several cats....and still do that require daily medication. I had one kitty that was horrible with taking any kind of med, liquid, hidden in food, ect. She would always manage to spit it back out or not eat it.
Anyway, I met this really nice guy who was fostering my Harry when I...
I am not a vet by any means, but do have plenty of experiences with cats, especially with vet trips...lol....
It sounds like if the antibiotics don't work, (you should notice a difference within 24hours) you might have to have him scoped. You say that it looks like he wants to eat, but...
Again, thanks all for the input.
I purchased the Ambimed inject-ease device and I have been using it since Saturday. It cost me about $30. and worth every penny.
I tried it on myself first to see how well it worked and you don't feel a thing, nothing, not even a tiny pinch. I've given Diesel...
Thanks everyone for the input. Sometimes all you have to do is mention it and things work out.
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed, but with the last 2 shots that I have given him, he seems to have finally calmed down with it.
We are also hoping that he goes into remission. The doctor says...
It's one of the finest needles they use, 30g, (31 being the smallest)and it's one of the shortest. Honestly, I don't even think he feels it, because sometimes I catch him off guard and he doesn't even realize I gave it to him. He's always been a cranky cat, but we still love him.
Lets hope...
About 3 weeks ago, my poor Diesel was diagnosed with diabetes. I work in the medical field and have no problems administering his meds. My problem is the poor guy is miserable with me doing this. He's always been a "cranky pants" kinda of cat, but still ours.
I've been good to him, treats...
I work in a surgical office and with people when the area is warm to the touch it generally means there's an infection going on.
Sending more good vibes your way....
If you feel the need, there is never anything wrong with going for a second opinion. You never know exactly what the vet has experienced along his/her way.
I love my vet of 18+ years and several furbabies, but eventually when an MRI was suggested for one of my baby because they couldn't find...
I agree with wet/dry, ect, as others have stated, but just to let you know, I saved a little kitty that was emaciated and in poor health. I had never actually seen ribs on a kitty from a distance.
Anyway, not to say that I'm any great expert or anything with this but I experienced this my my...
I've just been through loosing one of my best friends, (it will be a week tomorrow), and deciding what to do was one of my hardest decisions ever, so I'm with you.....
My vibes and prayers are with both of you.
I am so sorry to hear that Coco isn't feeling well. Don't give up hope. I'm sending vibes and hope that Coco feels better soon and is sitting back in your lap purring soon.
Thank You so much. I visited Petloss.com and chatted for awhile and added my babies name to the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you. It made things feel a bit better tonight.

Thank you so much everyone. I'm glad that I found this site. Everyone here has been so nice. Thank you for your gifts.
It was a tough night. My husband keeps telling me not to beat myself up, because I did everything I could for her and that her last few years were probably the best she...
The doctor just called. I had to give the order to have her euthanized. I am absolutely destroyed. This is my second furbaby this year. I can't take this.
There was just too much damage. Every time they tried something, her trachea would collapse. I had such a good feeling about this and...
