I have a long thread going already, but I have a specific question related to cisapride. My cat HATES this medicine. We have the oral suspension in chicken flavor. It's available in capsules, but we are concerned they may not go down well due to their size. I see there is an online pharmacy...

I have another thread, but wanted to ask a specific med question. I hope that's ok. Quick history-cat is struggling with constipation and vomiting over 3 weeks. Recent X-rays showed she was all backed up. Had enema, cleaned a lot out and was ok for 48 hours. Now has vomited 3 times today...

Hi everyone, I've read through a bunch of the threads on here about constipated kitties, and I think mine is experiencing a combo of all the issues discussed. Long story short, she started throwing up a few weekends ago. I took her to the ER vet and they didn't find much. X-rays were good...

Hi everyone, I've posted a couple times about my kitty's eye issues and progressive uveitis that was not responding to treatment over the course of 3 months. Her eye was removed 2 weeks ago and we now have a cryptococcus diagnosis. Her only symptom was this massive eye inflammation. She has...

Hi Everyone, My cat had her eye removed this morning. She has not been able to eat or drink with the e-collar she was sent home in. We tried hand feeding, putting food on the floor, elevated the dishes, used plates, etc-everything we could think of. She tried and tried but couldn't...

Hello all, Has any one experienced uveitis that gets progressively worse despite treatment? KeKe was diagnoses with uveitis about 6 weeks ago. She started pred acetate drops immediately and we did bloodwork. She came back with a high positive for bartonella and had a high coronavirus...

I am taking KeKe to the vet tomorrow for a workup for a possible asthma diagnosis.  She started having coughing fits in February of 2015, but they subsided within a couple of weeks.  I chalked it up to a hairball.  The cough was dry sounding and she would do some swallowing throughout.  The vet...

I have been trying to transition my cat over to wet food for the past year.I have no idea what she ate before I adopted her, but I'm assuming it was an all dry diet. She is 15 pounds and really needs to lose 3-4 pounds per the vet. I have tried at least 100 types of canned food-pate, chunky...

As many of you know, my cat has had a number of issues the past few months.  Last week, she did the "hairball hack" several times over 4 days, but didn't bring anything up.  I took her to the vet this past Monday to make sure she wasn't ill, and nothing abnormal came up on a general exam.  Her...

I have posted about my difficulty getting my kitty to eat wet food.  I have no idea what she ate for the 5 years before I adopted her.  She was overweight when I adopted her 3 months ago, so she likes to eat something.  My vet feels she may have been VERY overweight at one point as she has a lot...

My poor girl KeKe has been through the wringer lately.  I found out last week she has fleas after finding the dirt in her fur and bed.  She's an indoor kitty.  I treated her with advantage from the vet and she still seems a little itchy.  She had a big oily spot on her neck after the treatment...

I adopted my 5 year old spayed kitty in July.  It's been a bit of an adventure,  When I first got her, she was SO loveable and wanted to be in someone's lap constantly.  She sought affection all the time.  The shelter said she was such a lovebug.  I was thrilled to have gotten such an "easy"...

Hi everyone, As some of you know, I adopted a kitty last month after losing my best friend Mindy to cancer.  Well the new kitty, KeKe, has a lump on her belly and I am sick thinking I may have another kitty with cancer. Her vet felt it on her initial checkup after I adopted her and told me to...

As some of you know, my Mindy cat passed away last month from cancer. 3 days after she passed, the shelter posted a picture of a 5 year old tuxedo girl named KeKe. Mindy was a tux and I called her KeKe as a nickname. I couldn't help but think that this was more than a coincidence. I went to...

I adopted a 5 year old spayed female cat on Friday from the local humane society. My other cat passed away and I needed a new kitty friend. She is very friendly, but flat out refuses to drink water and eats very little. This is her third day here. The shelter said to feed her whatever we...

Mindy was my best friend of 11 years. She was battling cancer and I lost her on July 3. Her pain was unmanageable and she was getting sicker, so I had to make the dreaded decision to let her go. I got Mindy from an old roommate who could not care for her anymore. She told me Mindy didn't like...

Mindy is taking oral Buprenorphine to help control her pain.  She really protests at medicine time and I have a hard time dealing with a moving target.  I think she is swallowing more than she is absorbing, and I know that won't help.  The pharmacist showed me how to do it by pulling at her own...

I am new here, but have spent a lot of time reading through these boards.  You all seem like such wonderful people who "get" what it's like to love and be loved by a cat.  I'm looking for some help and support as I navigate a health crisis with my baby. Mindy went to the vet last week for a...
