Since my daughter was born April 2013, Luna has been licking and biting the hair off her belly till it is raw and infected. Her vet has treated her for a potential autoimmune disorder but she has failed all diet changes and medications and supplements. He said we could do a biopsy of the area...

Luna has been licking her belly and has given herself a large bald spot.  We thought it was allergies and she got a steroid shot but she continues to do it and it's getting worse.  It just dawned on me the other day that she could be doing it because of stress.  We now have a 3.5 month-old baby...

Ever since we started giving Luna daily steroids for her recurring rodent ulcers she has been peeing on our laundry.  She never had issues before.  We started putting our laundry in covered hampers instead of laundry baskets but now she is peeing on our bed.  She has been to the vet and treated...

Not sure if this belongs in Health or Behavior.  I took Luna to a different vet today for an opinion on her rodent ulcers.  My original vet said she was stumped on what else to do and wanted to do a biopsy on the ulcer and I didn't think that was necessary based on what I have read.  The new...

We have done EVERYTHING we can think of to help Luna and the ulcers on her mouth.  Our vet is convinced it is caused by an allergy, either food or airborne, not an autoimmune disease, though I have been giving her l-lysine as well.  We have changed her food and I think we have tried 5 different...

Hello everyone! I have not posted in a while but I am still struggling with Luna's health and behavior issues. We have an appointment with our vet on Tuesday to get professional advice and rule-out any underlying medical problems. So I can hold out till then but would appreciate your advice...

I just switched Luna to raw in hopes to prevent more outbreaks of ulcers on her mouth. She is around 8 lbs and that's an ideal weight for her. I am feeding her 3oz a day. Is that correct? She acts like she is starving. She figured out how to get the lid off my dogs treat jar and chow down...

She has a normal safety-cat collar with just her id tag. I haven't even put her rabies tag on it because it makes too much noise and I think that would bother her more. It's not too tight. She scratches and scratches and tries to bite it or bat at it. She meows like she is not happy until I...

Luna keeps developing indolent ulcers on her mouth. She has her 3rd one right now since March. The previous two times I took her to the vet and they gave her a steroid and it cleared up. I have tried changing her food but she is not too happy with that and keeps turning her nose up at...

"Luna Tuna" is my affectionate nickname for her. So, imagine how tickled I was when I saw this bed in the Drs. Foster & Smith catalog! Of course I HAD to buy it... ... and of course she hates it! She cooperated for this one picture only! She prefers to stretch out in the middle of the...

Luna is one year old. Since she was a kitten, when she plays hard, chasing her string toy all over and jumping after it, she starts panting. I mentioned it to the vet on 2 occasions and they inspected her nose and listened to her lungs and said there was nothing abnormal. She also used to...

I would like to move Luna's litter box to the main floor of our home. I used to have it there but 2 of my dogs like to eat cat poo. The dogs are not allowed upstairs unsupervised so that's where the litter box resides now but I admit I tend to neglect it up there. Now that I am experimenting...

About 2 years ago (although it seems like yesterday) my neghbors fostered a pregnant mama and then her kittens until they all found homes. I signed into my photobucket account and there they all were and I am missing them. Here are some of their pictures: Here is mama, who we called Amber...

A while ago we were talking about hummingbirds. I couldn't remember the name of that thread but I wanted to share this picture I captured last year in my neighbor's garden.

I am in search of a hypoallergenic food that is cheaper than my vet's $2.50 a can! I went to my usual pet food store and they always have a different variety of foods than I would find anywhere else and they are very knowledgeable. I bought a dozen cans, a mixed variety of flavors of...

Do your cats allow their teeth to be brushed? Does anyone give their cats the feline greenies for teeth? Luna will let me brush her teeth with my finger for about a minute. She loves the beef toothpaste but doesn't like to be forced. I give the greenies as a special treat rarely but I wonder...

The last 3 nights Luna has been waking me up infusing middle of the night and early in the mornings. She jumps up on the bed and meows in my ear and starts rubbing against my face purring. I pet her a little and she goes away for a little while then she jumps back on the bed and starts all...

In the bathroom? Luna does and I had one cat before her that did. They like to sit on my lap while I'm on the toilet and purr and be petted and rub their head all over me. I just want to know how many other cats have this habit.

I tried to post this in the IMO forum but it said I don't have permission to post there. I am trying to get as many signatures as I can on this petition. Along with Luna, I am owned by 3 Italian Greyhound, Milo, Molli, and Odin so this really broke my heart. Anyway whether they were any other...
