oh, poor baby!! is it bloody or fungus-y? max had several rounds of antibiotics before it cleared up. he was diagnosed with eisiniphilic granulomas on his leg and environmental allergies, kind of asthma-y at times. we control it with air filters, an allergen-free wet diet, cleaning, and closed...

poor kitty! best vet and dermatologist can come up with is environmental allergies. he's been x-rayed and has some asthma-ish congestion. we've been able to control the coughing (and subsequently the granulomas on his leg) through a limited ingredient (rabbit) wet diet, lots of cleaning, closed...

help help help not sure what happened. 2 yo cat started suddenly coughing and sneezing, vomited a little. stopped, then started coughing and sneezing again. has had history of coughing/food and environmental allergies. could he have inhaled dust or carpet fiber, some other irritant? acting...

So, I took him back in yesterday.  Vet couldn't even find his bladder!  They gave him some meds used for arthritis to calm the bladder and sent us home with some pain meds.  Then, last night, he started peeing blood.  At least he's emptying his bladder?!  My husband was supposed to take him in...

From what I've read, the UT issues seem to be one-off and non-recurrent?  We'd been feeding him Rayne Nutrition rabbit and squash on advice of the dermatologist to deal with his skin issues, and he loved it, but the company has had issues sourcing their product so I needed to go to something I...

I'm sick with worry again over my poor Max!  Took him in 2 weeks ago to vet because he was in and out of his box all the time, trying to pee.  All day at vet, couldn't get a urine sample.  No blockage.  Catheterized him, subcutaneous fluids, injection directly into bladder - no urine sample...

apologies for typos - typing on phone per our vet and dermatologist, cats can have allergies to most common proteins in cat food, ie chicken, beef. so the food trial is with an unusual protein. we're doing rayne's diagnostic rabbit and squash/rabbit and sweet pea formulas in wet and dry (tho...

We're doing a food trial right now to rule out food allergies! Saw the dermatologist even!

haha! love it. he's very good confining his untoward advances to blankets (located near us, of course). max and our last guy were the only male cats i've ever seen hump anything. it's a very odd behavior, indeed. we figure, if it makes him happy and doesn't hurt anything(one), it's fine...

so, mr. kitty is about 1.5 years old, neutered about 8 months ago at around 6-8 months old (not exactly sure of his age). he frequently Makes Himself Happy on fuzzy blankets - he grips with his teeth, suckles, and kneads. tonight, i flipped him over and noticed a wet spot near his penis. he's...

history: we have a one year old male cat with ECG plaque on his right hind thigh.  he's been on a LID diet since september, and the plaque has gotten better but not entirely disappeared. should we be expecting the granulomas to disappear entirely, or will they likely remain?  are we missing an...

update: i just looked at the ingredients for the wellness indoor complete - and it has whitefish meal and grains.  i think max might be coughing because of the fish and/or grains (and/or all the other stuff in his food).  i am dumping it out tonight and going only LID kibble (he prefers dry, but...

I just switched my guy to Wellness complete indoor and I'm wondering if that's caused his coughing bouts.  Thought he had a hairball, but the coughing is softer now.  I bought NB's LID duck and green pea - I think I'll dump the rest of that when I get home.  Maxy has unidentified allergies...

max's never-ending saga. background: 13 month old altered male adopted about 6 months ago from foster (rescued at 2 weeks off street, spent time at animal control before being rescued).  at adoption, presented with standard URI/cold (sneezing).  several weeks later, presented with paw...

No, that's not the name of my new book. My 1-yr old was just diagnosed with a staph infection on Friday, complete with raised, infected spots on his hind leg.  Doc suspected a possible food allergy and prescribed an antibiotic, an antihistamine, and 2x daily medicated pad cleaning. We got the...

yes, we've tried lysine - but it gives him the runs!

he's on feline pine now, was on world's best.  when i clean it's always with seventh generation or method products (supposedly "all natural").  there's a possibility it could be food or allergies, but it's localized to this one paw and hasn't appeared anywhere else - i think that's why the vet...

I'm going sick with worry over Max's paw. He presented with something that looked like a fungus/mold in mid-April.  We did a course of Clavamox to cover both the paw issue and slight URI he developed post-neutering.  A week later, the paw became swollen and ER vet prescribed Cephalexin...
