Our 18-20 year old rescue recently hurt herself jumping (not sure came home to cat dragging leg) and Xray revealed severe spine degeneration and slipped disc at base of tail. Vet thought she may not recover as she could barely stand or walk. Tried an NSAID that is "supposed" to be used away...

My older rescue kitty was just diagnosed with severe spinal disease. I knew she was arthritic which she was being treated for, but on Saturday she started walking funny and was not putting her bottom down to the ground. She still used the litter pan OK but with difficulty. Today the x-ray...

Hello, I have several rescues so not sure of ages but this one is at least 16 as she came to me 14 years ago and she was thought to be one or 2. She had a long history of diarrhea/IBD and started on prednisolone 5mg 2 years ago which made a huge difference in her stools, wish we had tried...

Our beloved 15 (approximate/not sure is rescue) year old kitty started losing weight about 10 months ago. She is down from 17 pounds to 11 in a year. All labs were normal so we changed diet since she had constipation. Last labs very slightly/borderline hyperthyroid. We have her on meds 3 weeks...

We have had a rescue for 11 years, we think she is around 13 now. Each year her crying at windows and doors has progressed. She sounds like a cat in heat. She is super loud because part siamese but her behavior is crazy a few months twice a year. She doesn't put her back up as much as a kitty...

Hi all, I have an 8 year old tortie that has been licking curtains/paper/desks for a little bit like one of my other torties. I presumed she picked up the behavior from her to get my attention as it does work... but in the past few days she is licking many more objects and her gums are very...

Hi all, I have a 16 yr old male that has had a history of IBD or SCL for a few years. Most likely IBD as he's been treated with prednisone and it has not appeared to have progressed. However, last year he had a grand mal seizure - I'm still traumatized but what appeared to be an invisible bolt...

Hi all, I just discovered another mast cell lesion on my approx. 10 year old cat. She had one on her paw years ago, then another on head. The one that was surgically removed didn't have clear margins so we did it again and it was hard because she is a big tough girl and ripped her collar off...

Hi all- I have a 16 year old male kitty that was diagnosed by ultrasound 3 years ago as possible IBD or Small Cell Lymphoma. He had years of chronic constipation. The vet opted not to do a biopsy or put him on chemo as she leaned towards the IBD diagnosis, nor did we want the risk of...

This is a complicated situation. My nearly 16 yr old guy is on 5 mg prednisone for 2 years after a diagnoses of IBD or SCL. We decided against chemo based on vets review of the scan and treated for IBD. He has done great, new diet and all. THEN about 6 months ago he had a grand mal seizure...

Hello! I have previously posted on my 13 year old kitties diagnosis. He had an ultrasound (but no biopsy per vets recommendation) to determine he "likely" had small cell lymphoma after years of chronic constipation and recent unexplained weight loss.   It is now 4 months post ultrasound and he...

So grateful for this wonderful site! As this is a common topic here I thought it would be useful to share our experience with this. Cat -  approx. 12 years old has had a LONG history (9 years) of constipation.  He would refuse to eat wet food, not even raw in past trials. Had one UTI, and on...
