Hi everyone. I hope I don't sound crazy here but I am clutching at straws to figure out why my kitty, Misty is so itchy for such a long time. It started in January of 2006 with a slight shake of the head. I had her ears checked, they were fine. A few months later, it persisted so I had her...

I'm not sure if I am worrying over nothing but I am hoping someone can give me some ideas. My 9 year old cat Misty has not pooped since Thursday night. This is Sunday afternoon already. She pees, eats, plays and sleeps and does not seem to be uncomfortable. In fact when she plays, she runs...

I have a problem where my cat had first been diagnosed with Struvite stones and the vet had me give her a prescription diet (Hill's s/d) plus an extra additive called DL-Methionone to further acidify her urine. The result was her PH went down to 5 and she ended up with Calcium Oxalate stones...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping to get a couple of suggestions. I am trying to find a cat food that will result in a urinary ph of about 6.8. My 9 year old cat Misty has had problems with Calcium Oxalate stones in the past but she started with Struvite stones. Treating the struvite stones caused the...

My cat had a problem two years ago with Calcium Oxalate stones. She had surgery to remove them from her bladder and now she is supposed to eat Hills X/D. She prefers can food but will not eat the X/D. She will nibble on the X/D dry food so I have been mixing some dry with some Fancy Feast and...

Hi everyone, I recently had to put one of my cats to sleep (2 weeks ago today). It was very sudden, he became sick and in less than 48 hours he made three trips to the vet and the third (and last) being the afternoon of Dec. 10th. I had a brother and sister pairing. They have been together...

I'm hoping someone here can help me make sense of something. I am running into brick walls trying to find answers. Briefly: Two weeks ago, I came home from work and my cat was very itchy (9 year old male). He was fine otherwise. The itch got worse as the hours passed and I finally took him...

I am completely shattered at the moment since I put my Santino to sleep on Dec. 10th and I am still unable to move forward. I spent the last week on the Health & Nutrition board trying to get answers for what could have happened to my boy and why his end came so suddenly. I am unable to find...

Can anyone tell me if a glucose level of 167 and a BUN of 43 is something to be concerned about in a 9 year old cat? Also the PCV is 22 which I think is a sign of anemia. The only noticeable symptoms are excessive thirst and very itchy. Thank you for any information anyone can offer. Karen

Hi everyone. I am hoping that somebody might be able to give me some information to help me settle my mind. I had a 9 year old healthy cat. He played, he ate, he did everything a normal, healthy, happy cat would do. Last Friday, Dec. 8th, I came home from work and he was very itchy. I...

Hi all - I'm a little confused about something and wondered if someone here could give their opinion. My cat had bladder surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. She is recovered and seems to be just fine. My question is about the stitches. The vet used stitches that are under the skin to close up Misty's...
