I have a medium-hair cat who has a lot of dandruff/skin flakes showing in his black fur. I brush him every night. The only thing I can think of is that I put in a window air conditioner a month or so ago. Since the air conditioner removes moisture, maybe it's too dry in here. Short of not using...

Just found abnormal secretion (in yellow semi-fluid) in the cat's eye in these 2 days, w/ the left eye more serious. He had similar sympton 1 yr. ago & veterinarian proved that it's virus-infected , some kind of flu. This time he has no other apparent flu symptons. Anybody can help to tell what's...

My cat is male and about 13 years old. About 2 weeks ago he started having diarrhea with really watery eyes (might not be related...about 4 times a year he'll get the runny eyes for about a week). He also licks himself "down there" so much that he's lost hair on his tail. Since then we've taken...

Since we've been talking about shedding, I have a question. I noticed my little short-haired tortie girl had two mats in her coat today. One I was able to break up with my fingers, but the other one I had to cut out. I gave her a thorough brushing afterwards. I've never seen a...

What a wonderful tribute for a very special cat. You are truly an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for giving Rusty a loving home during his last few months.

Had Kiki to the vet today. He suspects stomatitis. He gave her an injection of Depo-Medrol which he says seems to be working well in a number of his patients with the same problem. He advised against pulling teeth if it isn't necessary as it could cause more problems if one were to break off or...

I posted last month to this group about my IC cat being taken off dry food and developing diarrhea. I have since tried several types of fiber supplements and several types of pet-store canned food, but she is still having diarrhea. I tried the Science Diet canned hairball, which seemed to work...

Hi everyone in this NG - I have two cats, both six and a half years. Mitzi, grey female, has always been the most delicate of the two and had seizures when younger, although she hasn't had one to my knowledge for almost two years and I give her a quarter of phenobarbitone twice a day, according to...

I need some advice. About two and a half weeks ago I adopted two (approximately) 4 months old cats (male and a female). Both were sneezing and tearing when I got them. The male, Taffy, also had buildup in his left ear. Both had been spay/neutered, had tested negative for all feline diseases and...

I was amazed to find that 3 oz cans of these premium canned foods cost 44 to 48 cents at my local Petsmart. (I wanted Wellness but they did not have it.) I have been paying 49 cents at the grocery story for Fancy Feast! I got a bunch of flavors so I can see which ones the girls like. I really want...

Master K - I was just looking over the newsgroup before posting a very similar problem. If you managed to figure anything out, please let me know! -- We have four cats of varying ages. Our eldest female (around 8-9 years) has also spontaneously abandoned the litter boxes and now does...

I don't usually post here, but I do need your input... Dyna is a 6 yr old female Main Coon cat, 18 pounds, a sweety. Took Dyna to vet today for rabies shot. He looked in her mouth and found a tooth with a problem. Said that it wasn't a cavity, but rather "calcium erosion" was just above where the...

Mary: Thanks for recognizing my mistake. My computer was giving me trouble. Now I am trying to master a new computer. Purrs for all kitties and their concerned slaves. MLB
