So its a bit awkward to say, but I've noticed the tiniest amount of yellowish whitish disharge with snot/mucus consistency on Rocky's genital area.. just a speck really, and just a couple of times. Should I be concerned? He's acting normally, no excessive grooming or anything. A google search...

Rocky's been struggling with skin allergies for quite the while, and we have tried so many things to try and treat them with little to no success. I apologize for the somewhat long back story. In September of last year, he began itching himself and overgrooming, resulting in hair loss. We took...

Rocky has been passing darker/black stools for a while now, but I just assumed it was a result of changing his diet. His feces are of regular consistency, perhaps a bit more soft. Today when I was cleaning the litter I found that the litter around one of his poops was tinged red! It never...

Rocky had a biopsy done yesterday, and he has to wear an e collar for about a week! We tried leaving it off under supervision, but he keeps trying to lick at his incisions. My main concern is him being able to eat and drink with it on- he just ends up pushing his food and water bowl around. My...

I've heard that giving a cat omega 3 supplements can help with their coat. This winter both of our cats have been experiencing dandruff and their fur is much more dull and not as shiny. Their diet hasn't been changed. Would giving them omega 3 help? If so, what is the best way to give it to them?

I have been feeding my two cats a combination of Purina Cat Chow Complete and Friskies Pate Wet Food for 2 years. I am switching to Kirkland Signature Maintenance Cat Food and Trader Joe's canned food, and want to make sure I'm giving them the right amount of calories and nutrients between the...
