The discharge is clear now. I just gave her her Metacam, Buprenex, and Clindamycin, so she's in hiding. I'd like to see her eating better, but she's 12, so I assume is having a harder time getting over the surgery than the other cat who had 6 teeth pulled the same day, but is only 6, so is...

Two days ago my cat had three teeth pulled- one lower, and her two upper canines. Today I see she has bloody discharge from her eyes; it's thin, but is fresh blood. I realize the mouth and eye are close in proximity, and am wondering if this is just a result of the surgery and will go away...

My kitten, Merlin, is about 7 1/2 months, and was found in a parking lot as a tiny kitten.  He was dewormed, but at one point I found vomit with living roundworms, so he was dewormed again twice, 3 weeks apart.  Last week I called the vet because his belly was still swollen, sides bulged out, so...

O.......M..........G.........  I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  My cat has been on Miralax for maybe a couple of years, and he has pancreatitis.  I KINEW it was the Miralax!!!!!  He gets 1/8 tsp. 2x/day.

I gave her Wellness Divine Duos, the Tuna Pate & Diced Salmon.  I just mashed the heck out of it, added a little water, and she was all over it.  She's actually out of her hidey-hole, I put her up on the sofa, and she's just chillin'.  It's a sight that melts my heart... Donutte is right, from...

Those are good lists.  Looking them over, though, after pouring over the first one, I felt something pop in my brain and smoke started coming out of my ears, lol.  I ended up buying her a good variety, fed her one when I got home, and she loved it.  Yay!

Not sure if you've seen this list, but I found it this morning and am taking it with me when I shop for food:  http://felinecrf.org/canned_food_usa.htm

The vet said based on her appearance and the description of her behavior, in addition to her numbers from a few years ago, as well as the palpable size of her thyroid, he said without running any additional tests he's fairly certain it's hyperthyroid.  I trust him- he's the best vet in our city...

Need recommendations on good low-protein food for an over-20 y.o. cat.  She prefers pate that I can add water to to make a gravy consistency.  I've tried the prescription Royal Canin, and she doesn't like it.  For dry she's eating R/C Mature mixed with R/C Babycat.  Thanks in advance!

Let me start by saying Wildfire is still with us. After spending much time in deep confusion and fear yesterday, I decided to take a hot bath last evening and connect with her.  She told me she's not afraid of living, and not afraid of dying.  She doesn't want a bunch of pills shoved down her...

She's actually choosing dry food over wet.  I don't get it, but that's how it's been for a while.  Once in a great while she'll eat the wet (I keep offering it to her), but I think it's easier for her to swallow the dry...  We got our appointment moved up to tonight at 9:00, and it's with the...

I, too, wondered about stomatitis.  She is a very tiny cat with a tiny mouth, and they did their best to look at her teeth earlier this year, but she is a fighter, and they didn't get a good look, other than saying that they are in bad shape.  I take extra-special care not to let any of the...

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I'll post it here, but if a Mod knows a better place, please feel free to move it.  Thank you. My cat Wildfire is 20 1/2.  We knew her teeth weren't great, but at her age, there's not much we can do about it, other than she is on pulsing antibiotics...

Based on this photo, it looks okay to me.  If you start seeing pus, anything oozing, and a bad smell, take her back to the vet.  Are the stitches clear, or did she pull them out?

What kind of food are you feeding- what brand, and is it grain-free?  Do you feed both wet and dry, and how often?

My very long- and thick-haired cat Lillie has gotten what the vet calls 'hot spots' a couple of times- once on her tail, and once on her neck behind her head.  They get scaly and scabby.  They told me to use Neosporin, so I trimmed back the hair and put it on, and it went away pretty quickly...

Anal gland removal is an extremely dangerous surgery, and only done as a very last resort.  It's such a delicate area, and if the vet is one micron off, the cat will be incontinent for life.  You can learn how to express anal glands- it's pretty easy, albeit messy, or you can do as I do, and pop...

My god, he's so cute it brings tears to my eyes.  What a special couple of guys, and you, too...
