My 14 year old male has been on steroids for 6 days now for what we think is a lip ulcer. When he went to the vet, she said just keep an eye on it if it is growing then it is probably an ulcer and he needs to be put on steroids which he is on now. Now some days it seems like it looks less...

Hey all, my mom works with the disabled and the cat that is in her house has his claws declawed. The procedure was actually today. I was just wanting to relay any information to her that helps the quality of that poor baby's life. It is still a kitten. I think maybe 6-7 months I could be wrong...

I usually have a chair beside me when am on the computer for Bear to lay on. I looked over and it looked like he was having seizures! He was laying down with his eyes closed like he was sleeping. The next thing I knew he vomited a hairball. Has anyone had their cat do this?? You would think he...

(Apologizes if this is the wrong forum, wasn't sure where to put it.) With Rocko's death last week, I can't help but think about how much longer I will have with Bear (He's 13/ indoor/ only health problems are his UTI's which he is on prescription food for and he gets some hard poop sometimes.)...

they are putting rocko down now. he has gi cancer and the vet says he is in  lot of pain. how do people do with this??? i cnt stop crying. he was my baby.

Rocko's (He's 13 BTW) appointment is tomorrow (Hyperthyoidism checkup, UTI recheck, & the vomitting reason) Last time the vet said she will discuss food choices this appointment, well, Bear needs to go in tomorrow more than Rocko. He has a bad history of UTIs and he is only peeing very little...

I will be looking into get Rocko's teeth clean after he has gotten better from his UTI and his hyperthyroidism is controlled. I am wondering about putting a 13 year old cat under anesthesia. Is that even safe? What do other people do in terms of teeth care for cats? I will be asking all these...

(Background - He was just dxed with hyperthyroidism and a really bad UTI (No crystals, but he is on his third course of antibiotics.) He has a history of gorging himself and throwing up afterwards. Also hairballs.) I have tried feeding him smaller amounts, and waiting a little bit between...

Well it looks like Rocko is on to us about his pill pockets. Just now I tried to give it to him and he wouldn't eat it like he has before. Is it okay to crush the thyroid pill up and put it in a little bit of canned food? I know some pills you can't crush or something. I think anyways. It's...

Well I got Rocko's test results back today. He does have a severe case of hyperthyroidism. CAN IT BE CONTROLLED BY MEDICATION?? Can Rocko still live a long happy life?? My mom is at the vet so I am not there to ask these questions.The vet I know wants him there every week. I just feel horrible.

It seems like since he got sick a couple of months ago, he has been eating everything there is to eat in the kitchen. This is something new. Before he would just eat his cat food and nothing else. Just now I caught him up on the kitchen table licking a spoon that had cheesy hot dip on it. o.O He...

Hi! If anyone read my last thread, Rocko has been sick but is actually better today and yesterday. (He was throwing up alot but acting normal.) Just today, I noticed he is sneezing a lot...I dusted my room yesterday, so I was thinking that might have something to do with it, but like I said...

Rocko has been throwing up since yesterday. He usually does throw up alot, because he eats too much and has lots of hairballs. But never for this long. I think the last time he has eaten anything is yesterday in the afternoon. Also not normal as he loves his food. He has drunken some water this...
