Thank you everyone for the reply. Today, after some search, I decided to give it a try for the enema approach at home. Fortunately, I was able to do it and I saw some hard poop along with it. Immediately after, the enema caused her poop, then she sit down few more seconds and poop another big...

My cat has been suffering from a cold + asthma she probably has URI as well. As for now, I am trying to avoid visiting the vet's office until my cat gets more stable. About 1.5 months ago, she seemed a bit sick but completely normal (she ate and walked around fine), but the visit and several...

Yes, I thought about it but no, I am holding it for now. For my last cat, I visited 4 different vets with a similar situation (one isn't helping so went different one and etc), and they all diagnosed differently :( Then that made him get even sicker quickly from the stress, so yes. That was not...

Thank you very much. I think I saw a similar post here about how an enlarged heart in an x-ray isn't the best to rely on but ultrasound does. I will see what I can do but I don't think the cardiologist will do any consultation without the visit. Previously, my other cat had other issues that I...

Thank you! Yes, I have a lot of litter boxes around to experiment with while leaving existing ones. I feel like the mistake would be behavior because yesterday, I cleaned with enzyme solution and blocked with litter box, then she is back to the old litter box (which is close to it). She has...

Thank you so much for the reply! I really appreciate it. It's been frustrating as I am in a constant internal conflict of let's ease my cat's stress and leave her alone vs. what can I do to help without going or asking in-house vet for few weeks, but it is also hard to see her having issues so...

Thank you very much for the reply. I know the vet is there to help but it stresses my cat too much (she is really shy, took me 3 months to allow me to touch her forehead...) and how I lost another one from stress, I really need to reserve the visit or even in-house visit for at least few weeks...

Hello again, I am still frustrated to pinpoint what is wrong with my 11 year old cat, and curious if someone can help me? Before my last vet visit (4 weeks ago), it was 7 months ago and the blood work result was saying that I needed to watch out for her Kidney, but the doctor did not really...

I have tried Zylkene, but not consistently. I haven't used Gabapentin, but I am also afraid as it may give some burden to heart. (That's what my vet said?)

Yes! I will try to do it later today. Thank you so much.

Hello all, I am curious if anyone can advise or help as I am frustrated. 2.5 weeks ago, I went to the vet for a regular semi-annual check-up for my 11-year-old cat. At that time, I think she coughed a little bit, but completely behaved normally, and her breathing count was around 18-20 per...

Thank you. The vet I saw yesterday was debating between increasing steroid or not, but for now, decide to keep the same due to GS trial. No, I don't think I will do US at this moment. Bringing him to another place for testing seems too much stress for him, and I think I got most of test I needed.

What is US? I did not increased steroid yet. I actually went to another vet specialized in GS stuff and got some feedback that we may try 1 week of GS treatment to see where it goes, while I try to schedule oncologist as well :(

So we're back to the original point...We dud Feline Serology for diseases/infections like Toxoplasmosis and Crypto, and ELISA test for FIP. Actually, before I got this result, his elevated liver like ALT and AST and brain inflammation thought it could perhaps FIP, but that ELISA test shows...

Thank you for the reply. I just re-read what the doctor said and I misunderstood ultrasound. It's about to see if there is inflammation or cancer in other organs. We did serology 2 (to see if it is toxo or crypto?) and FIP test and the result will come back in few days. Regarding the brain...

Thank you for the reply! No masses were see on the MRI and due to severity of swelling and herniation, the doctor was leaning lymphoma or FIP, but we did not actually do biopsy or any for lymphoma. And I meant brain lymphoma. So yes, for now, steroid to reduce inflammation but recommend to see...

Hello all, About a month ago, my cat's behavior suddenly changed. He made hunch over position more often, lowered his neck, circling...I went to the first vet after a week, did blood work and from there, we found elevated ALT (359), bit higher side on AST and lower side of CHOL.Doctor gave me...

I am not sure. The vet prescribed these for general antibiotic purpose so I gave him as it is. Should I ask for something more ear related focus?

I did not know referral! I will reach out to my vet tomorrow. In case of middle ear infection, do you know what kind of antibiotics they prescribe? I currently got Prednisolone 5mg and orbifloxacin - once per day. Today has been 6th day since I started and not much progress yet. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your reply! In fact, I read some of your post before I posted here, so thank you so much for sharing. Yes, MRI is definitely on my plate if I have to, but I won't be able to see the neurologist (since I didn't go through ER) next 5 weeks, and it makes me worry if it will...
