    10 Year Old Female Started Urinating Outside Litterbox

    Hi I realize I never updated this post! I got a second litter box, put it in a place that was less hidden, changed the litter and we’ve been all good! Thank you all for your advise and kind words!

    10 Year Old Female Started Urinating Outside Litterbox

    Hello, I appreciate any advice! I've read all the articles on this site (and several elsewhere on the web) about litter habits and bladder infections but am thinking some of you might have some personal insight. I adopted my cat when she was 5 years old and while we have had some issues with...

    Feline Acne Won't Go Away

    Just wanted to update everyone who helped us! Hiccup is finally acne free and out of her cone and back to her old cuddly biscuit making self. She got a couple more rounds of antibiotics and I switched all her dishes to stainless steel and we seem to be doing fine! Didn't think we'd ever get here...

    Feline Acne Won't Go Away

    Hi! She actually said it was looking better! When I asked about a culture, she said it would be better to to a biopsy because all the culture would get was the surface bacteria. She didn't think it was necessary for that yet because it looked better; what I saw was residue that actually comes...

    Feline Acne Won't Go Away

    Oh wow! I'm glad you finally figured out what it was and got it taken care of! I moved Hiccup's appointment to tomorrow afternoon, and I'll ask them about a culture, because they absolutely haven't done one.

    Feline Acne Won't Go Away

    Long story short, I went on vacation almost four weeks ago and when I came back my seven year old cat had feline acne under her bottom lip on her chin. I believe that it was caused by my neighbor letting my cat rub her chin aggressively on her brush (wire bristles) when he came over to watch...

    Cat suddenly sensitive at base of tail

    Hi! I noticed yesterday that my 5 y/o cat that I adopted last June, who normally loves being scratched at the base of her tail, is having a strange reaction now. She will turn sharply towards my hand, then excessively lick or nibble on her front paw. I was a few days late with her flea meds but...

    Post dental recovery?

    Okay, thanks for that advice everyone! Her energy seemed higher this morning, so I'll check on her when I get home from work and if she's back to how she was this weekend I'll bring her in for sure. Again, I'd be more worried if she wasn't eating or pooping, but she's doing that okay, it's just...

    Post dental recovery?

    She isn't on any pain meds- though I'm sure they gave her something on Friday because she was super loopy when I brought her home.

    Post dental recovery?

    a few seconds ago HiccupKitty Hi all! This is my first post on this site, and I'm really hoping for some peace of mind! On Friday (5 days ago), I brought my 5 year old recently adopted rescue Hiccup, in for her dental. Her liver profile was just a tiny bit high, but the vet and I decided it was...
