Good morning and sorry for the picture! I was wondering if anyone has had this problem. My Emily is given lactulose twice a day because she has had hard poop in the past. She was given an enema last year and I remember her butt looking like this afterwards. She had diarrhea after the enema and...

Several weeks ago when I took Emily into the vet the vet did recommend Miralax. I tried it in different doses mixed with water over several weeks and saw no change and took her back to the vet. Thats why my vet recommended the lactulose because the miralax wasn't working. I'd give her cat lax...

My Emily had an enema Friday and I have a few questions. I sure wish these Vets (and doctors) would give patients a list of what to expect or not to expect after a procedure. Friday the vet did the enema about noon. I was hoping they would do an xray but their machine was down. They sent me...

I feed her twice a day and added miralax to her dry food yesterday. Since I add water to her dry the miralax sticks pretty good to it. She pooped 3 hard pellets last night but this am had a great poop so the miralax did help. She only vomits on wet food. I have 30+ cans of a variety of wet...

I am so confused!!! This may be long. My cat Emily doesn't have a bowel movement everyday and when she does it's dry. I'll give her some Cat Lax and she'll be fine for a day or 2. I give her dry food (I know I know) but she refuses to eat wet food. I do add water to her dry food. She'll...

I called my local animal control several weeks ago about trapping the poor thing and they told me they don't trap cats nor lend out traps because there are too many strays in our town that if I could catch it I could bring it to them however with the appearance of this cat they would probably...

All of my previous cats (14 of them) have been stray ferals that just showed up at my house over the years. Emily my current cat I adopted from my local shelter. All of the strays adapted to living indoors and I never had a problem with litter boxes etc. I'd get them fixed, vaccines, tested...

I'm still feeding that poor starving kitty but it looks so much better than it did. Keep in mind I can't get within 15-20 feet of it without it running off and I'm feeding it in a lot across the street from me. I went to my vet the other day and bought one Comfortis pill ($23.00). The...

Hope everyone is healthy with all this virus stuff going on. About a week ago this poor skinny starving cat showed up in my neighborhood. It could barely walk and didn't have much hair. These kind of things really break my heart. Once I saw it in the neighbors garbage I started feeding it about...

I've always used cat lax. It's cheaper than the others and most of my cats I've had will lick it right off the tube.

Emily's eye looks a little better this morning yay! I tried holding her lower lid open to put the ointment in but being alone I couldn't hold her, hold the ointment and hold the lid but I am getting it in her eye so I figure its better than not getting it in at all. Those Jackson Galaxy...

I've been in tears since yesterday. My kitten who I've had for 2 months injured my other cats eye. I had a major panic attack and rushed Emily to the vet yesterday. Her eye was half closed and had gunk in it. The vet checked for scratches on the eye and foreign objects but said it looked like...

My kitten Bob isn't peeing as much so I do think it's a "kitten thing" like the others have said. I had him checked for diabetes when I took him to the vet and all was good.

I am so so so sorry. I've had to make that decision more times than I have wanted to and it is not easy. I found this quote and have referred to it and it helps a little. So sorry again. “The choice to break our own hearts to save another from suffering is true compassion”

I had no choice. This was probably about 18 years ago and the vets in my town weren't high tech (and still aren't). The vet said his bladder was like cardboard and if I hadn't had it done he would have died. This was before they started suggesting food changes etc. I would like I said just...

The only real problem I had after my cat had the PU surgery is he would pee drops of blood for a few days clear up and it went on for months. After many vet visits and money I found out he was having idiopathic cystitis. The emergency vet (after about $500) told me it would clear up in about 5...

My daughters cat Bert had the same exact problem several years ago. She's has him on a prescription food (Purina prescription UR I think) and he hasn't had any problems since changing diet. One of my boy cats many years ago had the PU surgery because of blockage and he lived many years after...

Thanks for your advice! As many cats as I've had over the years I've never had any worm problems. I'll check with my vet about that Prefender. I had never heard of it. I just hate putting insecticides on or in my cats if I don't have to. Thanks again

I have other posts about my new kitten and older cat but decided to start a new one. Bob the kitten was dewormed at the animal rescue originally in Sept with Drontal. Then the end of October I had his stool checked and the vet said he had roundworms. She gave me Drontal for both cats which I...

Thanks for your advice! Cats are such a challenge but worth every second of it! Emily is eating now. It was either 1.) the worm pill made her feel sick 2.) I was putting the kittens dish down first before hers. Once I used a different bowl and she didn't eat. When I put my hurricane shutters...
