Anybody have any injection-site tumors that never really did anything scary? My cat got some kind of random cheap adjuvanted vaccine at a rabies clinic like 17 years ago before I had standards for that sort of thing, and he's had a lump there ever since. Going on 19, and it's all good, but all I...

I took my cat in expecting to get a dental, and came out with a terminal sarcoma diagnosis. She only has days before I bring her back in to be euthanized. I love doing trees on top of plots, but tbh I am out of room for new trees! She's so young that this really snuck up on me. I've had the 18yo...

My cat is pacing nonstop for hours. I don't know why, but it does fall within the purview of his mental illness issues. This is pretty extreme, though. He won't even rest, he keeps checking windows and corners. He was getting out of breath, so I drugged him with an extra dose of gabapentin. He...

I actually don't know if you're allowed to post fundraisers on here, so sorry if I broke a rule! Still learning. I won't waste your time, and there's more info at the link, but basically my disabled cat went and had a pretty serious medical setback right after I lost the ability to walk for many...

So, it's a Sunday, and I'm having a hard time getting him seen, and I guess basically I'm just freaking out and posting here because I can't do anything else for at least five hours. He's sleeping peacefully, but he's clearly distressed by not being able to urinate. I guess I don't even have a...

FIRST OFF I'M GOING TO THE VET IN A FEW HOURS. Just to head off those comments, ha. Anyway, I have three cats, two being feral, one being elderly and high risk for illnesses in general. The 5yo feral female has been showing odd behavior in terms of where she's been sleeping, but otherwise, I...

So my 16-year-old cat has had just about everything on him examined in the last half year except his teeth. He has kept us distracted with other problems, so who knows how long this has gone on. He's been reluctant to do much in the past three days. He will probably have to get a top canine...

He's a 15yo male, and his mother, who I knew and fostered through pregnancy, was an oriental shorthair. I understand they can have these sorts of problems. He had no noticeable symptoms, and we only discovered this issue when he was being evaluated for an unrelated surgery. Essentially what I'm...

First off I'm going to the vet tomorrow, I assure you! Anyway. My cat, a 15 year-old neutered male, has developed some light asthma in the last year that I'm already treating successfully. Other than that, his health has always been almost suspiciously perfect for a teenager. I'm in quarantine...

From the time my cat was born 13 years ago, until last night, he has never once had an injury or medical issue! Aren't I lucky? But it looks like he's got a broken bone in his foot. He's in excellent spirits, so I've opted to take him into the non-emergency clinic tomorrow instead of the ER. The...

First: I volunteer to foster cats for a local shelter, and a few weeks after the last one visited she began sneezing constantly. I took her back, and a few days later my cat started the same thing. The clinic vets say there is nothing wrong with the foster cat (code for 'we're not paying for...
