Met the IM vet tonight. My buddy looks a little better, but they still are trying to get his potassium levels up. I fed him via syringe, and his eyes perked up. He meowed, and myself and my sig other talked to him for a good half hour before they needed to put him back on meds. The IM vet is a...

He has had a bad infection for quite some time. Figured out that it may have been teeth related, had teeth pulled (vet had seen ulcer on bottom of tongue by infected tooth). He was on marbofloxacin previous to this for about a 1.5 months to try and shrink enlarged lymphnodes that no one could...

He exhibited slight traits of the symptoms while on. However, now that he is completely off, the degree has noticeably increased. If he is having side effects, I wonder how long it takes to clear? I have a vet apt on Monday, hate to keep spending money... oh, well. I hope he does not have some...

Well, it seems that the 2 month course of Marbofloxacin prescribed for the possible infection that my cat had, has potentially worked. Previous thread I posted on here a while back was about the ongoing enlarged lymph nodes that my cat was experiencing and stumping the DVM. So it looks like...

Thanks everyone. I have an appt. Monday morning. I was reading up on Lupus, but from my understanding the red and white blood cell count would be off, correct? He just had a FULL panel blood test and everything was completely normal. I am wondering if this may have anything to do with his...

Called vet very concerned. Salivary glands and nodes do not seem to be going down, very, very big. They said to wait another week, to give the antibiotic a chance to work. I don't know what to think...

He just had his teeth cleaned. I just looked in his mouth and I do not see anything red or swollen. No plaque that I can tell. I should also mention that his eyes are now draining and are a rusty brown. I don't know what to do. I don't if I should spend the money on an mri (especially this...

So, given what I have explained, Geoffrey, if this were your cat how would you approach it? Should I wait to see if the antibiotics kill the infection? Should I get an MRI done (though expensive), I'm not sure how to proceed, or take an active role, in suggesting or agreeing to the next step. I...

Thanks. I do not know if he has a temp, will have to get a rectal thermometer. However, the side of his head where the inflammation is located does feel above normal - very warm. Lymph nodes are both swollen but the predominate side is his left side - they seem much bigger. In addition it...

I have a 12 year old fixed, male Persian. To make a long story short, I will run through what has been going on in the last year. Last year I noticed a fast large lump growing on his chest/leg area. Took him into the vet, and they recommended a specialist. So I took him to the specialist, and...

Here's some information from "Nephrology and Urology of Small Animals"

Switched over thinking it was a 100% natural diet, and my cat loves the wet food. Now, however, I am seeing that blue buffalo (not sure if the same) is being sued and FDA issues. Anyone? If so, can you recommend a 100% healthy, natural wet food for cats? I tried making my own food in the past...

Yea, will have to do so on monday... sent them an email a few minutes ago. 24 hour clinic, not sure if they will get back to me though today or tomorrow. Will call them first thing monday. I did call last week to see if I could come in sooner, and they had no appts. or cancellations.

Lump is about 1.5 inches on the chest, by the left leg. Saw the vet last week, and they biopsied it at it came back as "Suspect mesenchymal neoplasia". I called the recommended oncologist and have to wait until Jan 11th. In everyones personal opinion is this too late??? Should I be contacting...

Caught them, and need to get the mom fixed. Anyways I worked out something with a no kill shelter. One is extremely nice, the second one hisses but you can hold him, the third one will tear the crap out of you and bite. Been trying to work with them, but I don't think its helping, and with an...

Has about a 1.5" lump in middle of chest, closer to left arm. Anyways, had biopsy done, they are not sure what it is, diagnosis is as follows, "suspect mesenchymal neoplasia". I have been giving him curcumin, artemesinin, ip6, daily in small doses, will be be doing 7 on 3 off, until I can see...
