I agree that you should look for a less expensive stroller until you know that this will work, and then gently break them into the idea by using it around your house. My dog vet (who also sees cats) is in a village type area with a lot of pedestrians and sometimes there are so many stroller in...

Royal Canin makes a urinary food which is sold non-prescription in most stores. It is called Urinary/Urinaire and I have had luck with mine eating it, but it is not senior food. I have also used the ProPlan urinary food with some success, meaning that they would eat it.

Sometimes shelters don't have the manpower to deal with things as quickly as you might expect. Out here, many are understaffed and run mostly by volunteers.

He may be upset from the vet and needs time to work through it. I agree that one cerenia is not going to be much help. How quickly can the herbal vet make an appointment?

The date which you received is definitely the original date from Pumpkin's care, not an estimated birth date which would prove anything. My vet does the same thing with an estimated age and date, but it is not an official one. I have only owned one animal in my life who had a true birth date...a...

That is a huge headache. If nothing else, it means that you have to start the fight with them again.

Thank you for letting us know how you are doing! I am sorry about the move, but I agree that your cats are with you and will always be.

Thank you for letting us know. It sounds as if things have improved somewhat and I hope that he is on the road to recovery.

Neosporin, used as neomycin, is in a lot of animal products like EnteDerm which I use on cats as needed. It is always better if they cannot lick it off which it seems like your boy cannot. Do not use any OTC antibiotics on a cat that contain the pain reliever ingredient.

Those are just a couple of symptoms and all of the symptoms may be easily missed, or absent entirely. Fiona had to have two teeth extracted several years ago after a regularly scheduled exam in which the vet found a problem which had no obvious symptoms.

Tooth Root Abscess in Cats | VCA Animal Hospital | VCA Animal Hospitals This article discusses tooth root abscesses. Halfway down, it mentions signs; however, all of those are very easy to miss if you are not a vet.

It is very hard to assess cat dental conditions on your own. In the absence of very clear symptoms, it is next to impossible. Usually, dental issues are not cancer, so try to remain hopeful that this is a bad tooth.

This has absolutely been my experience with a couple of cats I have owned.

You are certainly more than welcome here at TCS, so don't feel as if you are alone. Given that you are NY, there are a large number of pet grief counselors and support services. The last site I posted gives access to their locations and contact info. Much of this is now done remotely, so you...

Hypokalemia (Low Potassium Levels) in Cats | VCA Animal Hospitals This article explains low potassium levels in cats

Pet Loss Support Hotline | Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine Pet Loss Resources and Support Pet Loss Hotlines The first two are pet loss support groups run by Tufts and Cornell veterinary schools. I have known people who called Cornell and I believe that the phones are manned by vet...

You have taken excellent care of all your cats and nothing that is happening is your fault.

For one thing, excitement or distress at being in the vet's office can increase heart rate. Hyperthyroidism or an arrhythmia can also cause this. Heart conditions are complicated, which does not always mean bad, but your vet needs to help work this out. It is not something that you can google...

This may mean that the vets only diagnose it in the end stages as cat heart disease is very subtle and most people, including very good owners, do not have any idea what it going on. I don't think that she meant that it is the end for Tigger. Ask about medications which may help.

That is great news! :hugs:
