Thanks. What is a stain?

My cat keeps squinting in one eye only.  It's like he is winking, and it's not all the time but sometimes. And sometimes that eye will look smaller than the other eye..  This started three weeks ago on December 10.  I took him to the vet on December 12 and they said everything was fine and they...

Thanks.  I took him to a person who does cleaning without anesthesia, but he wouldn't stay still so she couldn't do it.  Looks like he will have to go under and get it done.  Like everything else, I'm learning that pet dentistry is fairly new and not all old school vets are up on it.  I'll find...

Thanks.  He just had blood work ($350) because the vet thinks he may have early signs of asthma.  Everything came back fine.  How easy is it to brush their teeth and how do you do it?

Thanks.  He's doing well.  We're down to 6oz wet food from 9oz per day.  Weight loss has to be very gradual to prevent kidney failure.

Thanks for the info.  I'm going to look for those swabs.

I rescued my cat eight months ago.  His teeth were in decent shape, a little bit of tartar and he was given a clean bill of health at the time.  He was checked recently and the vet said his teeth have tarter and his gums are showing early signs of disease.  She recommended a deep cleaning under...

Thanks for sharing this.  Very interesting information.  My cat does the same thing, but not if he has been upside down.  Usually he will be sleeping, do it for a few seconds and go back to sleeping.  He is a little overweight. Just had a bunch of blood work done and everything came back...

Thanks.  For now, the vet wants me to document the coughing episodes.

I rescued my furbaby 8mths ago.  He does this coughing thing, the coughing episode is short but painful for me to watch.  But he has NEVER thrown up a hairball. I took him into the vet because someone said the coughing could indicate other health problems.  The vet did blood work and urine and...

I would take him in right away.

Thanks for the info.  Yes, his thyroid was checked and came back normal.  All his blood work came back normal and I took him in yesterday so they could get a urine sample.   Other than helping him lose weight slowly, our concern now is to find out what the cause of his coughing is.  For the...

Thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks for sharing.  I just talked to the vet and his blood work came back normal, thank goodness.  She said to cut down his wet food very gradually and weigh him every week and see how he does.

Here's my Prince.
