    Lucy spits/drools out her liquid meds

    Lucy was prescribed Prozac because she continued to pee outside her box after having a UTI.  The vet hopes the Prozac will relieve her anxiety over going to the bathroom.

    New here--sick cat with pyothorax or chylothorax

    Hi everyone. My cat, Nala, is about 12 years old and otherwise very healthy. A week ago she became lethargic and short of breath, so we took her to the vet where they drew 200ml of fluid from her chest. The vet at first thought it was pyothorax, and put her on antibiotics. That was last...
