    ear yeast - Miconazole-Dex drops

    hmm...well, I'm not sure what to do on this one. And this is the same vet that has recommended I have my cat's broken and reabsorbing teeth removed. So I'm not sure. The clinic has experience with FIV cats. I could go back to the other vet, which I really liked their beside manner more. But...

    ear yeast - Miconazole-Dex drops

    My FIV+ kitty had an ear infection when I adopted him. That seems to have cleared up, but he still favored the ear. The vet did a swab/slide and said it was yeast and prescribed the Miconazole-Dex drops for 10 days. And that it would be a reoccurring/ongoing issue probably with his ear. I was...

    Crazy Screaming Cat Problems

    Poor thing, I've never heard of such a situation. Poor you too! How long have you had him? It kind of reminds me of when a cat is sad or scared, maybe missing its litter-mates or mom or home. But it sounds like this isn't related to such an event. ? Maybe your diagnosis of dementia or some...

    Screaming cat...I need sleep!!!!!

    It makes it harder because you have a roommate. I live in a small apt and my landlords are below me and also across the hall from me in this split-up house. Their two requirements for me having a cat were that it was clean and quiet. I'm worried they'll hear my cat at night, but so far they...

    thrashing and dreaming

    I adopted a kitty from a shelter about a month ago. He was rescued from behind a store where they found him with a serious leg wound. He's FIV+ and lived in the shelter almost 2 years as "pet of the month" before I finally found him! Anyhow, my question is about his dreaming which he does a lot...

    FIV cat - broken teeth

    aw...thank you so much. We'll be ok. I sometimes think the vet thinks I'm a diva...and it's not that I'm thinking I AM all high and mighty, but my kitty needs SPECIAL ATTENTION And so it's like I'm being a diva on his behalf (hee hee) He had a really rough life, he deserves good treatment.

    FIV cat - broken teeth

    Thank you so much! I think this is the right thing to do. I live in the Boston area so the price I was quoted sounds like it's in the ballpark. When the vet calls about the results of his pre-anesthesia bloodwork, I'll ask her to explain again why this would require two visits. For some reason...

    FIV cat - broken teeth

    I adopted a kitty from a rescue shelter 1 month ago. He is so sweet and I'm so happy with him. The issue is, when I got him checked out and updated at the vet the woman who runs the shelter uses (they give her a 50% discount), the vet said he had a bit of gingivitis. The doctor also noted he...
