    Injection site sarcomas

    Hey there! The latest topic in my house is this injection site sarcoma thing. I learned about this before my new kittens so the vet Im using for them seems to be aware of it is using the purevax rabies etc. My other vet that I use for my older cats however, I am not sure. They seemed up to date...

    Kitten small lump under skin.

    Hey guys! I have yet another issue with one of my kittens. If it wasn't bad enough that over the last several weeks we dealt with URIs, "ringworm", roundworms and fleas. Well we seemed so close to being better and tonight while playing with one I found a small(maybe blueberry size) round lump...

    How long until safe after roundworm treatments?

    Thanks! I know now that they are everywhere and I hate knowing but I certainly will be more cautious after this. 😣 My issue is the thought of them walking through their litterpan/playing in it as kittens tend to do and then walking all over my belongings. I guess thats why a bathroom or empty...

    Cat peeing on babys stuff.

    A friend of mine reached out to me for help because her 2 year old cat started going outside the litterbox as soon as they brought their new baby home a few months ago. He poops outside the box and he pees all over the baby's clothes, toys, car seat etc. All his stuff. She also adopted a second...

    How long until safe after roundworm treatments?

    Hey guys, I rescued two kittens that ive had for about 2 months. At 9 weeks we gave revolution dose and the next day saw one dead roundworm pass. I was under the impression that revolution is an effective dewormer on its own and am honestly getting confused. Well when I mentioned this to the vet...

    Weight/muscle Tone Loss In Younger Cat.

    I am not sure how paranoid I am being as we've had a lot of "bad luck" in the health in some of mine and my families cats over the last year but about a month ago (around the time one of my other cats was diagnosed with diabetes), my 5 year old bottle-fed boy who I've had since a day old and had...

    Difficulty With Rescue Kitten And Social Behavior With Older Cats.

    We are trying to locate a cat behavioral specialist in harford county, maryland. We absolutely would foster him in a home with no other pets but we do not know a single person who is a cat lover that doesn't already have cats. I had contacted a few rescues/no kills and they said they were full...

    Wet Food For Cats That Refuse To Eat Wet Food?

    I have tried to transition my cats to wet food a few times and two will eat it usually but one always refuses. Doesnt matter the type or brand or texture, he sniffs it and walks away like its not even food. Same reaction with mixing it together. This particular cat will actually try to steal...

    Difficulty With Rescue Kitten And Social Behavior With Older Cats.

    Another update on our problem kitty. The vet has him on the highest dose of Prozac and it hasn't made much of a difference. His problem behavior (bullying and challenging other cats and humans) seems to be a *little*bit less frequent but he still does it fairly often. We know it all takes time...

The pheromone and holistic remedies wasn't working and he was getting in alterations with the older cats and dominant/outgoing cats. We tried the taking him to the vet thing and they put him on an...

    Difficulty With Rescue Kitten And Social Behavior With Older Cats.

    Hi, around memorial day I saved an older kitten (vet guessed around 8 months at the time) from being killed by neighborhood foxes. The foxes had a litter of kits who were at hunting age and I came outside one night because of some terrible screams to find all 5 foxes in my yard trying to kill...

    Can Feel Spine On Overweight Cat. Normal?

    Thanks we are going to need good vibes. Ultrasound results came back and everything with his liver area didn't raise any red flags other than the lipidosis. His kidneys are a little off (some crystallization), so we definitely have to keep an eye on that. More blood work in a week. Hope I can...

    Can Feel Spine On Overweight Cat. Normal?

    Well we got him in for an emergency appointment on Monday with the wonderful vet that saw him for the lipidosis years ago. He was confident that he is in lipidosis again but said that it is nearly always secondary and there is generally primary cause for it whether it be stress, illness, toxins...

    Can Feel Spine On Overweight Cat. Normal?

    Update: This has progressed from a happy cat to a cat who is losing stamina and appetite rapidly. I thought my cat was stressed this week due to a foster kitten I got two weeks ago, but it may be a coincidence. I took him to my regular vet and they confirmed muscle atrophy(which started well...

    Can Feel Spine On Overweight Cat. Normal?

    Thank you for your replies. He has a vet appointment tomorrow for that and he hasn't been acting right since we got a foster kitten so we are going to have another round of blood work done either way.

    Questions About Feline Herpes.

    I saved an 8 month old kitten about two weeks ago from being killed by a fox. I immediately took him to the vet to have his injuries treated and make sure he didnt have anything that could transfer to my other cats. She gave him a rabies shot and tested for Leukemia/Aids and gave him a dose of...

    I have a 9 year old cat that was obese. He had fatty liver disease about 3-4 years ago. Took him to the vet in january after a long bout of vomiting daily and had blood work done. They said he had a touch of pancreatitis and his blood sugar was on the high end of normal so he needed to lose...
