I appreciate the warning about the metacam. I'll look to avoid it in the future for Logan. Luckily, all of his kidney values have continued to show as normal.  The "son vet" joined his mother's practice  They were educated at two different veterinary school's so they are not carbon copies of...

Thank you both for your responses. To address the metacam issue: the cat received three doses of the medication. One was given as an injection while he was at the vet's office and I gave the other two doses orally. The cat weighs 25lbs (I said 30lb in my OP, but that was an estimate). He also...

Logan seems to be doing well enough. He bit the "you-know-what" out of me when I reached down to pick up his food bowl yesterday. No growl, no warning--just a very painful bite to the inside of my arm--above the elbow. I didn't react at all--just ignored it as I know he is on pain meds and he is...

Logan got a clean bill of health except for the broken tooth with exposed nerve--it was a canine tooth and it's been extracted. Now I'm going to wait until his mouth heals and his pain recedes to see if he is any better--behaviorally.  ...and the bill was "only" $788.00! Right now he's...

Logan is at vet now. They are doing vaccinations, kidney analysis, complete dental, full blood panel and external exam. They did find a broken tooth with pulp exposed--that was certainly causing a lot of pain. Bill is now around $800.00. YIKES!!! edited to add--they are also doing a grooming...

Okay, I read the Xena link. She looks like a smaller, tidier version of Logan! I see some similarities with the aggression towards Brew. Logan's aggression towards us has mostly faded, but he does still randomly bite me in the shin (while I'm sitting) or on the scalp (while I'm sleeping). I...

Adding--I've never known him to pee outside the box. He has access to our yard and property, and I've seen him mark on bushes and whatnot.  I will request a kidney profile and observation of his torn ACL. I'm not against any type of remedy--including flower power!

Nice to meet you too!! Logan was purchased by a family from his breeder. He was found on a rural highway when he was about 5-6 months old and taken to the shelter. Since he was microchipped, the shelter was sure that he was just lost, but the family who purchased him didn't claim to own...

No problem with the questions! My answer this time is: OH HECK NO!!! We would draw back bloody stumps! The dangling end of the rope wrapped around the upright posts of the cat tower are what we usually use. In the past we've used various store purchased cat, "fishing pole" type toys. Those...

Yes. Brew was chasing Logan when Logan was hurt. When they were younger; the "chaser" and "chasee" often changed in the same play session. One or the other would start the play and then they would chase each other. Brew plowed into him because at that time, we just had our floors re-done...

Thank you! I look forward to it.

1. Dog is fed and watered inside the house and always has been. The dog (named Brew) lives in the house, but uses a doggie door that gives him access to a fenced yard.  2. I will have the vet check the ACL. The appointment is Friday.  It did not require a surgical repair. He has not been...

Thank you for your helpful response! Here is my (long) reply to many points you've brought up. I hope I've addressed them all. If not...ask again. I want help and I'm not trying to hide anything. The aggression is definitely offensive. His posture is described perfectly in the ASPCA article. He...

Okay....well thanks.

My cat is an 8.5 year old 30lb Maine Coon who was neutered prior to my adopting him at 6 months old. The dog is an 8 year old Boerboel (mastiff) who is also neutered. He weighs 180lbs and is active and agile. He was purchased when he was 10 weeks old. Both are current on vaccines. The dog has...
