And - believe it or not, we now have our 4th luxating patella cat! AND - she's 10 yrs old and had never previously shown any symptoms! She was, however, rescued from the same prison system as the others, who are much younger. Hers went back in immediately, just one leg. She's a bit on the...

Not sure whether you are talking about Cinderella or not, but I apparently failed to make it clear that she is no longer a kitten - she is 4 years old. Since I wrote the above posts she seems to have improved somewhat. She is still hobbling with both back legs but is moving around more and can...

Also, with reference to managing Cinderella's shoulder problems, what arthritis supplements/meds dies anyone have their kitty on?

Don't see an option for a new post, so hope "reply" works. I have posted several times on the past about Ozzie (initially known as Mr. Brown) - double luxating patellas. My experience with him and, as it eventually turned out, also his brother Cooper answer some of the questions others have...

I primarily used Advantage and the later version, Advantage II for him and my rescue's other cats when I absolutely had to as...

Hi, cash1june, your little fellow reminds me a bit of Gus.  Glad you seem to have figured out pretty well how to care for him.  Interesting regarding keeping him intact so far - Gus had already been neutered by someone else when I got him; Cutie was neutered at about 5 months (but I had to spend...

Well, Fatty looks like he is in great shape for a cutaneous asthenia cat - you must be doing something right.  

Hi Crash, I did not find it necessary to even think about declawing Gus, my CA kitty who lived 12+ years, but perhaps if his brother Cutie, who had a more severe case of CA, had lived longer, perhaps I might have ultimately decided to dispense with his back claws, even though I am otherwise...
