    Update on Jellow...

    poor jellow! trust me, it can take a few days to get over a seizure. he probably feels like his little brains are fried and like every muscle in his body has had one big charlie horse that didnt end. he will probably be sore for a week or so! be gentle with him!

    Black Widow Bite

    i hope your kitty is ok!!!! spider bites on pets worry me so bad. we lost our rottwieler to a fiddleback bite (and a lousy vet) a couple of yrs ago so i know how scary it is when our pets get bitten. PLUS this scares me soooo much more because about 2 weeks ago i noticed patchy watching...

    Tearing eye / normal for Long-haired cats?

    one of my cats had an injured 3rd eyelid last summer and now that eye tears sometimes but the vet said as long as its not discolored theres nothing to be concerned about. maybe your kitty had the same prob. (im not sure how long youve had your kitty, etc)

    Administering Eye drops

    when i had to put gel in patchy's eye, i got to where i could anticipate which way she was going to jerk her head and i would start to squeeze the gel out in that area and it would land in her eye as she turned her head that way LOL! but i did have to hold her down. i burrito wrapped her with...

    Rabies Question

    make sure you double check that the vet has the color and everything right before you leave. my vet had patchy's color listed as a torbiano instead of a tortoise shell tabby. HE HAD HER LISTED AS A HORSE!!!! --along with several other things (man, id had hate to see what the litter box would...

    Boni and Phenobarbital

    your kitty *could* just have epilepsy. if it does have epilepsy, there doesnt *have* to be a reason, just like when humans have it - its ideopathic, meaning it just happens. im epileptic but i dont know that much about phenobarb; ive never taken it. most anti-seizure meds cause liver probs...
