    Taco, I am so sorry for your loss. You shouldn't blame yourself, this is a genetic predisposition and from what I have read there is no cure or preventing it. And I fear after reading more, I too have missed critical signs. Tomorrow we may have to say good bye to our good friend. I will...

    Two Maine coons and one Border Collie

    Our 5 year old Maine coon is sick.

    This morning she was in the same spot as I left her last night on our porch swing.   She was outside, I picked her up and she howled as if in pain, put her down and scuttled across the floor with her back arched high as if she was in agony.  She hid behind the couch.  I had to move the sofa...
