Hello 😊 I wasn’t sure if this was the correct forum for this post. If it needs to be moved, please let me know. I posted here 11 mo ago when my baby went to the Rainbow Bridge. It’s been a long grief process with a few “rays of sunshine”… meaning…about 2 months ago I started considering...

I’ve been in deep grief since Feb 1st at 1:10 pm – the day went sent Janie across the rainbow bridge. She was put to rest at home on the couch where my husband and I would sit in the evening with her and watch TV together for what we’d call “family time”. It was our last “family time” together...

Hello - My vet recently prescribed Hill's k/d and my kitty liked it at first and now won't eat it. I tried mixing the food with her other food and tried putting chicken broth (no salt or added spices) but she still isn't interested. I put her back on her regular food. I imagine this is quite...

Today's Janie's 2nd day on Felimazole. I'd like to hear about anyone's experience with this medication. here is her blood work: Test Result Reference Range FREE T4 >6.0 ng/dL H 0.7 - 2.6

Just checking if it would be ok to feed sardines packed in water as a treat to my cat? thanks. :)

My cat gets bouts of painful arthritis. I have given her Cosequin at times she's having issues. it seems like she's fine and then has a tough time. I know cats can hide pain, but she could go from vigorously playing one day to limping/jumping issues the next day? she's having a bad day today.

What kind of internal parasites can make a cat lose weight, drink and pee more? I had complete blood work done on my cat a month ago because of those issues but the blood work came back fine. The vet suggested to possibly look for parasites but didn't seem adamant about testing. Kind of like...

Hi all - I had already posted previously about my cat drinking/peeing a lot more and losing weight and occasional vomiting. Long story short, all her blood work, test results came back normal...no diabetes, no hyperthyroid, no kidney problems. I was reading on Pet MD that another possibility...

Hello all, Feeling sad tonight. I have to get Janie to the vet asap..which means Thursday. She's been drinking a lot more and peeing a lot more. Food intake is about the same. Energy level about the same. Weight?? Not totally sure. Hard to get an accurate reading on my digital scale...

My cat has been doing this strange "air licking" behavior a few times now. She'll put her face upward and lick, lick, lick but she hasn't just eaten or anything. It's not like times when she's about to vomit either. I thought I read somewhere about a metabolic or kidney problem but she just...

Hello, I'm finding mixed information online about probiotics for cats. Janie just recently had 2 weeks antibiotics for a urinary tract infection. I had some expired Fortiflora but that would be pointless being the probiotics would no longer be alive. Plus there is an appetite stimulate in it...

anyone ever try natural remedy for cat uti? I'm very frustrated right now. I cannot get my cat to use the little black pellets to collect a urine sample to take to the vet tomorrow morning. I don't want her holding her pee. That's not going to help the issue. I'm afraid I won't be able to...

I just noticed today that Zymox ear solution has BENZYL ALCOHOL as the first ingredient. This ear solution is supposed to be safe for cats but upon further investigation, I found on the Cornell.edu website that Benzyl Alcohol is VERY TOXIC to cats!! :bat::fuming: Why would they market this as...

Hello all, It's been a while since I've posted. Janie just recently within the past 3 days started using the litter box more. More poop than usual (frequency, size) and peeing a bit more. It started a few days after medicating her ears with Zymox - 0.5% hydrocortisone for itchy, gunky...

I am having an issue with pre-grieving the inevitable day that I'll have to have my cat put down. I am currently "cat mom" of the 10th cat in my lifetime. That's been over a period of 30 years. I was telling my husband this morning that "I just can't do it anymore." If you know what I mean. I...

Janie's got another ear infection. It's been awhile since she's needed the Tresaderm as I've been able to keep the ear infections at bay with regular ear cleanings..however, her ear got gunky really quickly last week... She's on day 5 of the Tresaderm and there is still gunky yeast in her...

I had my kitty to the vet 11 days ago for a ruptured anal gland and she was given a shot of antibitotics "Convenia Injection" that lasts 14 days.  I have noticed neurological twitching and her head actually shaking the one day.  Now today it seems like the right side of her face isn't working...

Anyone have any experience with a cat having an anal gland rupture?  My cat's ruptured and she'd chewed the fur off.  I noticed first thing on Monday morning and had her to the vet within a few hours.  They cleaned the site, made sure the gland was empty and gave her a shot of Convenia Injection...

Finally, 3 1/2 years after he "crossed the rainbow bridge" I had the ability to toss old B12 shots that I got from the vet for my baby Tommy.  He didn't survive long enough for the final two injections.  He had intestinal cancer and dwindled away to 7 1/2 lbs.  He was 17 years old. I still love...

Has anyone tried Zymox Otic HC for your cat's ear infection?  I wondered if it works as good as the meds (Tresaderm) from the vet?  Just curious for future reference if she needs ear treatment again. thanks
