Hi all, I'll be bringing my son home from the hospital tomorrow. Any tips for a new dad on how the cats will react to the new baby and any tips on how to get the cats used to our new family member? Thanks/.

My vet prescibed metacam for my cat after extracting some teeth. Before surgery the vet did a blood test, which was normal. A few days after surgery, she stopped eating..snobbing her favorite foods. I didn't think much of it because if I had teeth extracted, I'd wouldnt have any interest in eating...

After having spent eight days at the clinic for a blockage of the urinary tract, Mephisto has finally returned home to his joyous owner, having narrowly escaped euthanasia. He would like to thank the nice doctor who cared for him, not charging for certain interventions in order to avoid inflating...

Since I posted my question across the internet I have learned a great deal. I have been given many options on how to help Buddy Boy, which I plan to try all of them. Thanks to all for your kindness and to those who were not so kind shame on you. SKY

My daughter got a new kitten (8 weeks she says) on Friday. No shots or anything. She has a vet appointment next Tuesday but says at this point the cat won't eat or even drink water. Any help appreciated. Rick

I just had to post this because I am laughing hysterically and wanted to share the joke. It seems that my own personal troll is not only cowardly (sending me the following email through an anonymous remailer), but she is also seriously irony impaired as you can see from the message text below...

depending on the area? My Yuri had his tummy shaved for surgery,then had various other areas shaved as he required other procedures. Except for his tummy, the fur is growing back nicely. On his stomach it has barely grown in at all. His surgery was 2 months ago. I have one of his littermates, and...

I think he enjoys it.. Also..what does it mean when he is lying down and the last two or three inches of the...

Our 3 year old has had his triple vaccination this morning for leukaemia, entiritis and flu - and after being fine on returning home is now lethargic, off his food and showing signs of annoyance when we stroke him, which is very unlike him as he has a sweet nature. Is this common or should we be...

A friend has a cat recently diagnosed with diabetes. They've experimented with a vast range of dosages, but even at a very high dose the cat is not improving. Their vet has thrown up his hands and said "nothing more we can do", though the younger vet on staff is suggesting to send the cat to...

As a sequel to my post yesterday: Khamun is much better this morning, eating and happier, but still quiet. Sure he'll be fine later today - he's booked in for the second shot in a few weeks, I'll raise this with the vet but I suppose 24 hours of feeling rough is better than feline leukaemia etc....

It looks like Bartleby has a UTI. He peed on the bathroom floor and the urine was blood tinged. Bartleby is so difficult to med, this is going to be fun. My DH has been on litterbox cleaning duty since I can't do it, and he does NOT clean the litterboxes every day. I told him this could...

I am complete newbie and just discovered this group. Therefore, I'd like to ask a few questions. I realize that even among the experienced there may be no consensus. When that is the case, I'd opt for diversity, so no error is compounded too much. 1. Canned v. dry food. I think people seem to...

I posted awhile back about my cat being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I got her back yesterday after she had the radio-iodine treatment at the University of Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. I had to take her to Madison (2 1/2 hour drive) last Wednesday for the tests and then bring...
