Hi, My 13 yr old cat Charlie developed an aggressive tumor on his leg. I had the leg amputated and he is doing great! However, the test came back positive for osteosarcoma and my primary vet said I might consider speaking with an oncologist about further treatment. Was wondering if anyone has...

Hi everyone, My 12yr old cat Charlie had a urinary blockage 3 years ago. Now he has been diagnosed with a bladder stone. The vet said that I can try to change his diet (Royal Canin Urinary + Calm) and have another xray in 4 weeks to see if stone is dissolving or do surgery to remove the stone...

Hi everyone, My about 10 year old male cat, Charlie, had an emergency urinary blockage and I have a hard time getting enough fluid in him. The vet says his urine is still concentrated (but no sign of new crystals yet) but he is constantly somewhat to extremely constipated. His diet as of the...

Hi all, My 10yr old cat Charlie recently had a blockage and had surgery for what has turned out to be calcium oxalate crystals. He had been on Royal Canin SO diet since my other cat (now passed) had struvite crystals.   Vet is recommending switching to an all canned diet, but apparently...

So my cat Charlie survived his urinary blockage and bladder surgery!  How can I stop this from happening again? He was already on Royal Canin SO dry food except for a brief stint of eating Fancy Feast about a month ago.  I will find out exactly what kind of stones he had in about 2-3 weeks but...

Hello everyone, My 10yr old Charlie developed a urinary blockage tonight and I rushed him to the emergency vet.  Turns out he needs bladder surgery and possibly  perineal urethrostomy.  Has anyone been through this and did it turn out ok?   I just lost my other cat to cancer 3 weeks ago and am...

Hi everyone, 11 days ago I noticed my 14yr old cat Spike seemed to have suddenly lost a lot of weight. The next day, he wasn't eating unless I pushed chicken under his nose. I took him to the vet first thing on the third day (Monday). There was no sign of UTI. He was very dehydrated so I had to...

I have a serious litter odor problem with three cats in a one bedroom apartment and the clumping and flushable stuff just seems so expensive. Not to mention air purifiers. Someone recommended useing "pellet fuel" and said that it is cheap and flushable? Has anyone tried this?

Hi everyone, On a routine check-up yesterday my seven year old tabby, Chibi, tested positive for FeLV with the Elisa test. I don't understand how this could have happened because she tested negative when she was younger and has not since been in contact with any cats other than my other six...

Hi, My cat has recently developed chin acne and I asked my vet if there was something that I could use at home to clear it up. The lady at the desk recomended a certain brand of astringent. After I bought it, I noticed that the ingrediants included camphor, clove and eucalyptus oils so I...

hi everyone, i posted a while ago about my 1/2 yr. old cat Spike who was acting kind of lethargic, but had no other symptoms. The vet gave him a blood test that suggested he had a virus and gave him an immune boosting shot that really seemed to help, but it is now a week later and he is still...

Hi, My cat Spike who is normally very active and playful, has been acting kind of strangely lately. He ignores my other cat when she wants to play and I often see him "crouching" somewhere. But he does play sometimes, and seems to be eating fine, and using the litter box normally and...

Actually Friskies Dental Diet, which he has been eating ever since he turned up his nose at the expensive kitten food I bought him and began raiding my other cat's bowl. I've learned alot from browsing this site, enough to realize that food with corn as the main ingrediant isn't the best for...
