Hey guys! Im gunna make a new thread with my new questions!

Does he just use Isoflurane without an induction agent? Or something else? ( This is SO stressfull- I dont want to be rude and tell the vet to do everything different- but I dont want him to get Neutered in a dangerous manner if i dont have to. ) Doing some more reading if anybody is...

Thanks??? I think this tread is proof that its all based on personal opinion- This article gave me some clarity- SAFE ANESTHESIA Today a veterinarian generally uses two stages to give anesthetic to a cat. In the first stage, an induction agent (a "preoperative cocktail") known as ketamine...

Hey Guys, So I talked to the vet on the phone today about Dennis' blood work. She said everything looked normal. Except he does have a high-ish urea level. At 10.5 (She said 5.7-9.6 is normal) Yet she also said if he wasnt fasting before the test, and if he is on a high protein diet like...

To be honest I was thinking the same thing, but the vet did a really good job. She took blood first, Then did a full exam- (looking in his eyes, nose , ears) Then decided that he didn't need medication for any URI or UTi. She gave his bladder a good squeeze and said there was no more urine...

I'll be doing some research and seeing if my vet has buprenex available instead of metacam considering it has less of a risk factor. Also Ive been doing some interesting reading regarding pain and pets- http://www.caberfeidh.com/Pain1.htm -Interesting read. thanks so much everybody!

didnt meant to confuse. the Metacam was suggested for pain medication after his surgery next week. But he just got treated with Profender for worms today and its suggested that I de worm him again (at home) a week after surgery. So I will do some more research and see what I think. I may just...

Thanks for all of the info! I just got back from the vet and saw the info about the Metacam pain medication so I didnt have time to ask her about it. I will be calling tomorrow. Also- I know most vets have different opinions about medications etc. So i just like to get a broad spectrum of...

Good Lord. Do most vets use Metacam after they neuter/spay kitties? What would my alternatives be for pain relief? I will call tomorrow to make sure I can take that off the list or i'll be going somewhere else for his surgery!

Hey everybody! So my after my last post about Dennis, I took him to the vet clinic. RE: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=222986 While we talked about my problems, and he wandered around the office rubbing his face on EVERYTHING :P he decided that the sink needed to get some...

Hey guys, I am looking into getting pet insurance, but i'm not sure if it will be worth it. This is one of the companies I was looking into: https://www.trupanionpetinsurance.com/Enroll I'm considering this because these are the things He will need in the future: FeLv/Fiv/Heartworm blood...

All the best!

ALLLRIGHT! I have an appointment for this WED. at a Cat specialist vet clinic. The woman I spoke with said that we will wait and see if he needs the Urine test. - And that I can do it at home after the appt. with some plastic litter stuff( Cost= $55 at this palce) I'll get a blood test done...

Clinical signs may include coughing, trouble breathing, lack of energy, nosebleeds, collapse and sudden death as well as more general signs including vomiting, weight loss, and neurological abnormalities (head tilt, blindness, seizures) He only had coughing and its combined with nose goop. non...

and now i get humped..... any suggestions on weather i should let him hump and get his frustrations out... (hes biting my hand right now so tightly! and humphumphumping ) ...or stop him in the act so he doesnt think he can hump everything that mooves when he gets older?

SO Question- The only way anybody will know if he has a URI is just by inspecting him. ( visually) ( no bloodwork/testing can be done) The only way anybody will know if he has a UTI is by getting the Urine sample done- There is no other way to know?? I really dont want to spend $100 on a...

HE sprayed on my couch last night. Standing beside me. He always does it when im in the room, So I need to go buy some NOKOUT I suppose.. HOW do I clean the pillow? I can take the pillow case off ( ITs dark blue- Will NoKOUT take any colour out?) and wash it, but the pillow itsself is very...

Roundworms were addressed, but was he ever given a dewormer for tapeworms? If he had fleas, and any outdoor cat not on a monthly flea topical will, then he has tapeworms. Once parasite issues are dealt with you can try using probiotics for a bit to see if they help. The FeLv/ FIV and...

You guys are all amazing! I didnt think i would get a reply this fast! Can you guys tell me what treatments he would need for the UTi and URI - so that when I go to the vet I know they are giving me the right treatments. (There are SO many different vets down here, and so many different...

Hi! I am new to the cat site but i think its an awesome and amazing place! I've already learned so much.I adopted, out of fate, a medium sized tabby Kitten that my good friend found on the streets on China Town in Toronto about 2 months ago. The vet assumed he was 4 months. So I think he is at...
