    Kitty lost his voice and now gagging without producing anything.

    I swear my 4 yr old cat Baby, had the same thing. We got a new kitten 2 weeks ago (George) and there was a day or 2 of Baby hissing/growling, what I read is normal behavior when a new kitty is brought into the home. After 1.5days of constant hissing/growling anytime he saw George, they were...

    4yr old cat gagging, but not vomiting or producing hairball. New kitty 2 weeks ago.. Feliway?

    he has eaten a little bit since I posted..I picked up an appetite stimulant at vets so maybe that has worked.. he ate some dry food last nite and a little wet, so that was progress to me. I haven't seen him at the water fountain though. I can see when he swallows it's hurting him so it could...

    4yr old cat gagging, but not vomiting or producing hairball. New kitty 2 weeks ago.. Feliway?

    right, well he was hissing, growling at the kitten for a good 2 days...I'm sure the vet trip the other day didn't help his throat either (straight crying all the way there & back)..He could have a sore throat or laryngitis...I picked up the appetite stimulant last nite and gave it to him. He ate...

    4yr old cat gagging, but not vomiting or producing hairball. New kitty 2 weeks ago.. Feliway?

    it came on real quick, he doesn't go out so it wouldn't be grass. He's a very finicky eater and does not random items..I did have them try different foods to see if there was a better one for them. There was one (WERUVA) I believe, or TIKI, that had shredded chicken in..anyone experience issues...

    4yr old cat gagging, but not vomiting or producing hairball. New kitty 2 weeks ago.. Feliway?

    my cat is indoor, does not go outside at all...the vet recommended appetite stimulant so he will eat. His bloodwork all came back perfect, no issues. I don't know what the heck it could be..but I guess yes, the next step would be X-ray or scan. If he was doing a lot of hissing/growling for...

    15 yr old cat had surgery on lip, diagnosis is cancer. Need advice!!! Boston

    We decided to put Salem down today (this aftn).The vet told us the other lymph node was now swollen and cancer could've spread there too. He lost 1.5lbs in a month and breathing was rapid. Options were to take him home, give him pain meds & see how he would do. I just felt that I didn't want to...

    15 yr old cat had surgery on lip, diagnosis is cancer. Need advice!!! Boston

    I will just take him today. It's not a long ride. We don't have a regular vet, I've been to several as I haven't had luck with many of them. The last one was this oncologist who I was happy with and he's with a large referral vet hospital in the area. I prefer not to give Salem any pain meds so...

    15 yr old cat had surgery on lip, diagnosis is cancer. Need advice!!! Boston

    15 yr old cat had surgery on lip, diagnosis is cancer. Need advice!!! Boston

    yes, well I'm not sure if he got it "all" since we werent even sure if he had cancer before surgery. The vet before that who did a biopsy said it was not cancerous but that was months before the surgery. I'd like to bring him to a vet closer to home rather than trek all the way back to Angell...

    We had a biopsy done & it came back benign. That was probably 3mths ago. It didn't look this bad back then. I'm going to plan on having it removed as I feel it's just not going to go away. We haven't tried any meds such as antibiotics or allergy meds. In dec they tried depo medrol shot which...
