I have a 12 month old cat, Gizmo, who has had an URI since I found her and her siblings at two months old. When I recently took her in for her 1 year checkup, the vet said that these cats have feline herpes and possibly calicivirus and that in this case, they were viral infections. The vet also...

A few weeks ago I noticed that the right front paw of my 5 year old cat was swollen and he was limping slightly. I made an appointment for the vet the next day, they took an xray, said it was normal and he probably punctured the pad (possibly wrestling with the kitten, both are indoor only cats)...

Accidental double post

Hi again, Since you all were so nice and seemed so genuinely concerned over my old guy, Sylvester, and the whole teeth cleaning issue, I thought I'd post again to tell you the results of his senior wellness blood panel. In a nutshell - he's in perfect health! :) Liver, kidneys, everything are...

Sorry - this is kind of a weird post, but I'm compelled.. How odd these Internets are. I've recently taken to reading the blog of the actor Wil Wheaton - best known as Wesley Crusher on Star Trek the Next Generation. It's really fascinating, he's a celebrity, but not a bazillionaire, creative,...

Please tell me what the symptoms of asthma are in a 9 year old cat who has had no allergies in the past, but has endured a lot of stress. Or, please refer me to websites that can give me the symptoms of feline asthma. Thank you very much, Debbie & *Henry*

My 12 year old cat cat has just been diagnosed with intestinal cancer mostly because she has an elevated white blood count and a lowered protein and no other symptoms such as feline lukiema or thyroid trouble, and no kidney involvement. She does not have any liver malfunction. There have been...

I have just given my cat synulox drops as perscribed by the vet, 1.25 ml straight from the bottle, it has caused him to salivate quite badly and has caused him some distress, does this mean he has had an allergic reaction?

I took my moggy to a new vet last saturday to see about getting him sorted, was not happy with the other vet giving me drops. He was given 2 injections, one antiinflamatory and one antibotic to start him off, I got pills this time, much easier to give him, I am on day 3 now and the little bugger is...

This is an update: After wednesday´s visit to the vet (Tabasco got a penicillin shot + a homeopathic remedy to be given at home 3 times a day), we went there again on friday, as the vet requested. I told the vet that I´ve seen no improvement during wednesday and friday. Tabasco was still...

I recently found two stray kittens. My parents won't let me keep them as pets, but they bought them food and are letting us keep them in the backyard. We've had them for about 4 days. I check their litter- they have diarreah(sp). It's yellowish and runny. I fed them ham, before my mom knew about...

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/local/story/137778p-122499c.html In the version of this story that ran locally, the lawyer for the breed group said labeling tail docking as cruel was as silly as saying declawing cats is cruel. I guess she doesn't realize that declawing *is* cruel. I hope that...

My 1 yr old cat accidently got his tail caught in the door. The vet shaved the tip of his tail and I have to apply an antibiotic cream to it twice a day. Does anyone know how fast the fur on the tail will grow back? Thanks. Sue

Hi there, My cat was hit by a car around a month ago, and despite having received a nasty blow to the head and broken pelvis, she's been making an incredible recovery. Yesterday, however, I noticed a large clump of hair missing from her tail that certainly wasn't like that the night...

We have an old neutered long haired black male cat that visits us on a daily basis, & over the last 3-4 weeks, He has been nibbling his tail in about 3 separate places. He started @ the base of his tail, So I frontlined him just in case it was flea's that were causing him to nibble. In fact the...

First, please don't look at the pictures if you have a weak stomach. Bear has a problem with his tail. He's already seen a vet, she said the tip of the tail is dead and that it will fall off on it's own, but if it gets infected, or there is any puss or ooze or anything, bring him in and they'll...

I'm just curious about this - Damien walks from room to room with his tail straight out from his body. Does anyone know what this means ?? Thanks! -- Christi Stampin' Up! Representative
