I posted a thread a few weeks ago asking about strange walking issues my cat was having. Thanks to some good advice from some of you, I've been able to work with my vet to determine that Bela indeed does have diabetes. Her glucose is still in the high 300s (she had been on steroids and we were...

Hi -- My kitty is refusing to each anything but tuna and lunch meat, so the vet wants me to try the antacid to see if will help her appetite. Jave any of you used this antacid for your cats? Any luck? My vet is recommending 1/4 of a 10 mg pill. Thanks!

Hi, A colleague told me about a friend of hers who used a pinch of a powdered cranberry suppliment (sold for humans) in her cat's water to clear up a urinary track infection. Have any of you heard of this, and is it safe? Thanks much!!!

Hi everyone, over the last two months, I've observed my cat having what seem to look like short-lived seizures. From a lying down position she lifts her left paw up in the air and doesn't seem to be in control of it. Her head turns in an awkward motion, and she doesn't respond to me... it's as...

Hi everyone, I'm very new to this site, and I have learned much from all of you so far! I am now hoping that I might find out a little bit from some of you who have used behavior meds. I have two 8-year-old female littermates that are not getting along. Bela has been diagnosed with...
