Matitiayhu, named after a great Hebrew warrior, she was born just before the holiday of Chanukah. I had moved from upstate NY with my 3 beloved cats to Israel. I don't know why I came here. Honestly, it was just after 9/11. It was hunch, a feeling, maybe I could help. Be a shepherdess in the...

We live on a mountaintop, without a car, without family, without anyone but God almighty to help. Seriously. And now, my Mati who is 18 and has had so many things going on with her health is in decline. Food is being refused. I am ministering to her IV's and giving her via syringe pureed...

18kg bags of charcoal activated, bentonite clumping clay divided into 2 litter boxes - and we're zipping through that in roughly a week, max 2. How? And to compound things, if it's not 100% clean (which I am doing - cleaning, scooping - daily) she will deposit you know what on the bathroom...

I think about 5cc got in. It hurts her too much. :/

Does anyone here supplement vitamin D for their cats and if so, how much, what brand and what difference have you seen?

Also if you have natural healing remedies that have worked, please post.

I am so upset now - it was in a pot of hot water for at least 20 minutes - warm to touch but the SubQ was ice cold and my poor cat was shivering - I had to stop it. I just want to cry.

Last time vet took a blood sample he had to anesthetize Mati with gas. She's been anemic and am now seriously considering giving her a transfusion if the next lab indicate needing it. Only issue is that she'd need sedation for the labs and the transfusion. Has anyone here done this with an...

Mati 18 Went in to vet for lethargy and some weight loss - she weighs 3.6 kilos. Diagnosis - Anermia due to one kidney not producing RBC. Am putting the blood test results here again - vet 1 wants a watch and wait with iron supplements and subq, with another blood test to determine whether...

May I have your thoughts please - sorry for another different post but we just got back from the vet who ran CBC, Renal, Gastro, Thyroid and Pancreatic panels - SHE IS SEVERELY ANEMIC - 2.6 and HYPOTHERMIC (low body temp core) which he is charting down to her kidney not producing the necessary...

She's been vocalizing, yowling, hiding, crying, sitting near water not drinking - this all started on Saturday. Gave her a few things - charcoal, nux vomica, vitamins. Sunday she was ok - didn't eat much at all. Yesterday even less and in the evening she started yowling again, gave her sub q and...

Hi, We came back from vet who lanced and drained a huge abscess. Mati has been hanging out side, got bitten apparently and developed a huge abscess. He put her under anesthesia to lance, drain and then draw blood for a CBC - she is also anemic due to a huge flea infestation (!). I've been...

Hi, Mati has been in poor health for the last few months, now there is an added feature that is her chin is very wet (drool?) black and gray and painful when she eats - is this stomatitis? She had her teeth (aside from back) removed years ago due to an accident. I can't go through more with her...

ChiChi named thus because she was so filled with energy CHI - she was given 2x the amount of this energy because God knew/knows I'd be a handful and would need all the love and care she could give to me and the world and that light shined very brightly. When I was walking the walk to go bury...

A lot has been going on since I last posted about Mati, she has not been herself since February, I took her to the only vet in the area who was available last week took a look at her stomach and said she had a tumor and in all liklihood it was malignant. No treatment - no nothing. I tried to get...

The stools are darker, there was blood. I know she's doing this so I can see the problem and address it. I'm posting here to crowd source and figure out what is going on physically. When she started looking iffy a few weeks ago, I took her to the vet with a stool sample. Blood showed high...

I have been in agony with Chi for the last 3-4 days - she was lethargic, not eating, wasting away, hiding - and basically dying. I was waiting this out and praying. I called a vet to come two times and both times cancelled. Not sleeping, woke up today and said that's it - the vet was supposed to...

Since yesterday, things have gone rapidly downhill, I don't know where to put myself or how to do anything right now - numb but crying. She is hiding, crouched, in pain, I got her codeine and Tramadol if I can get that in her, she is very dehydrated, tried to give her IV but she got out of my...

We're now looking at Methimazole in gel form because of Chi's liver issues - I have 2 syringes ready and before going ahead with this wanted to check in with the crowd here and see what's going on with you and your cats and how this is going for you and what we need to know. Chi is taking Gold...
