Whoever answered my question, thank you. What I do need to know is this. Is the human form of Chlortremeton safe for cats. And why would she develop an allergic reaction to cat food. We have 4 cats and they all eat the same food and we have had them for almost 2 years. No problems till now...

I'm not talking about shopping bags. I know cats can get in trouble with those and I always put them away when I bring something home in one. I'm talking about food stored in plastic bags. Isaac is insane over any food product I stupidly leave out if it's in plastic. I'm not sure if...

Good news! I wrote some time ago about the two kitties I was "sponsoring" by paying for vetting, innoculations and spay/neuter (a male and a female). The little male was adopted almost immediately -- although the ideal would have been for them to be adopted as a pair -- and the little female...

We have an elderly diabetic cat and it's been a real chore testing his blood sugar. It often takes 4-5 sticks to his ear to get a drop of blood. I recenly stumbled on a technique that works every time. While my wife holds him still, I insert my thumb in his ear such that the ear is backed by the...

Thanks to those of you who responded to my post several days ago. My kitty, Hobbes, had two enemas a few days ago and is now finally passing proper stools and eating without throwing up. I have tossed out the artificial plant he chewed up, so hopefully we won't have a reoccurrence. It's a scarey...

My older cat - think she's around 12 years- has been getting worst with breathing problem the last week. She constantly has a gasping sound plus tries to cough and not as active as she was. Thinking it might be severe hairballs- she's a long hair- as we change their food from Science Diet with...

I brought Harriet back to work yesterday, since she had pooped 5 times over the previous week. She was happy to be back and checked out all of her usual spots. Stinky, however, is NOT glad that Harriet is back. She was hissing at her as soon as she saw Harriet. Stinky *never* hisses so it's...

Do vets ever perform endoscopic exams of the stomach? Can the stomach be vacuumed out when it is impacted with fur?

our 6 year old cat has just started peeing just outside of the litter box (misses by about 3 inches); has only been doing this for about a month; what can i do to get her to pee in the box again? any ideas on what might have caused the change? same cat box, same place, same litter. stan

The difficulties to judge the "real" potassium level from serum analysis have been discussed at various occasions. Now we seem to be hit ourselves. History: This cat adopted me five years ago and we are very much in love since. Right then, I discovered symtpoms of CRF (high water...
