Hi all, Just curious if anyone has used Heartgard Chewables for Cats to prevent heartworms. I've normally used topical stuff for fleas and heartworms, but I'd really prefer to not use it anymore if possible. This seems like a good alternative as fleas aren't really my concern, but heartworms...

My cat has been scratching quite a bit. Enough to cause scabs on her back and around her neck. I took her to the vet and they gave her a steroid shot. It seemed to help for a few days. They don't think it is food allergies and more likely that it is seasonal. I found NaturVet's Aller-911...

I'm looking for some canned wet food suggestions for my cat, and was hoping someone here could help! My cat was on Weruva Chicken for a while, but had problems with bowel movements (I also tried with probiotics and canned pumpkin). She would only have a bowel movement about once every 5 days...

A couple months ago I found a spot on my cats leg that she was licking. She had licked all the fur away and the were as a cut that she continued to open up. I'm not sure how she got that wound, but it could have been from a nasty fall that she had a year prior and I had never noticed it. I took...

Hi All, I currently feed my cat Wellness Chicken wet canned food. She hasnt been a huge fan of wet food and prefers dry food much more. However, I want to stick with canned food and I've been thinking of switching to Halo as she isn't a huge fan of Wellness. About a year ago I tried Halo and...

Last night I put a bit of flea / tick medication on my cat. My vet prescribed Paradyn, however, I got a bit mixed up and I accidentally used Hartz Feline medication instead. The bottle is 1.8 ml which seemed like a lot (opposed to Paradyn which is 0.7) and it left a pretty big spot on her neck...

Hi, I originally fed my cat dry food, but she was powering through it very quickly and wanting almost double the amount recommended. She was a stray cat and was a bit underweight. I began to split her food up into baggies, and only gave her the recommended amount. I would split it up into night...

Hi, I have a cat that I frequently take with me to my parents house. They live about 2 hours a way and I visit about once a month. Recently, they took in a stray cat and decided to keep her. When I bring my cat to their house, it is usually just for the weekend. Therefore, it made it pretty...

My family brought in a stray cat a few months ago and decided to adopt her. This has been a bit of a problem since I visit my family pretty frequently, and have always brought my cat with me. The first time I brought my cat, against my wishes, they put the cats together and it went pretty...

Hi, I recently moved into a new apartment that is on the first floor. My previous apartments were all on the second (top) floor, so being on the first floor is new to me. In my previous apartments, I would always leave my blinds up and would put my cat's cat tree next to the sliding screen door...

I've been giving my cat fortiflora as a probiotic for a few months, but have had suggestions to give her a human probiotic. Is it safe to give a human probiotic to a cat? Here is the one I purchased I purchased the following one: Nexabiotic Probiotic 23-strain Multi-probiotic Supplement with...

Hi, My cat has had loose stool for a few months now and I have been spending a lot of money to fix it. A few months ago, the vet gave her a shot of antibiotics. She began to have loose stool and the vet said that the antibiotics could have caused some issues with that. They prescribed some...

About 3 months ago, my cat fell from my upstairs and hit her leg on the staircase on the way down. She had a cut on her leg and was given an antibiotic shot. I noticed before her fall that she was occasionally having diarrhea, but I didn't think much of it as it was not happening often. After...

My cat was tested positive for Giardia. Her vet prescribed liquid Metronidazole. Trying to give my cat this medicine is going as bad as it possibly could. I've tried putting her between my legs and hold her body while someone else puts the syringe into the side of her mouth, but she just flails...

I recently posted a thread about taking my cat to my families house who just brought in a stray last week. It did not have a microchip, and we cannot find the owner. They live in the country, so there aren't too many houses around that it would have came from if it is indeed a stray and not a...

I frequently visit my family a few hours away from me. I always take my cat with me and we usually stay the weekend. She does fine in the car, and loves visiting there.  My family recently took in a stray cat they found outside. They aren't sure on their plans to keep it. They had it checked...

I adopted a cat from a shelter and always though it was just a tabby. But I recently learned what a Ocicat is and now I'm beginning to think she may be a mix with Ocicat. She has the spots that Ocicats have, but they are more prominent in the back. The top of her back is black and she has some...

I've been considering letting my cat outside on my balcony. She was a stray and constantly wants out. She bolts outside the second I open the door, and if she sees anyone on the balcony, she cries till they come in. I've let her out on the balcony (with my supervision) a few times and she loves...

I was coming home from work and a cat was laying under the shade by my door. She looked lifeless, but I petted her and after a few strokes she finally moved her eyes. She looked like she was in a lot of distress, so I went in to get her some water. When I was coming out, she was still laying...

I've been having issues with my cat waking me up at night for quite a while now. She loves to wake me up around 2:00 am and multiple other times. I've been doing some research and have read that getting her energy out before bed is a good idea, so I plan to do that. However, she also loves to...
