People and allergies by
Bonnie Forman
Wondering if anyone has any knowledge of what current drugs are out
there (prescription or over the counter) that are good for people who
are allergic to cats.
Seems to me I recall seeing a commercial recently, but I can't remember
what the drug was!
TIA
Bonnie

Wendell has asthma-advice? by
CarliEntin
So Wendell was about to go to sleep, and suddenly he coughed--then passed out.
He went limp, and his eyes were open. I thought he was dead, but apparently he
just fainted. I took him to the vet, who took x-rays and told me he almost
definitely has asthma. (I'm a little annoyed, because last time I...

Say hello to Cleo and Kidu! by
Marcie
Haven't posted here in ages, so I thought I'd share with you some of
the latest photos of my wonderful brood.
Cleo - my 5 year old tabby beauty and Kidu (short for Enkidu) is my 3
year old blue smoke Persian (he's the doll faced kind - a term I
recently learned on this forum!)
I adopted Cleo...

Measuring blood pressure by
Ken Knecht
My vet has me medicating my cat for high blood pressure ($$$$$!).
Seriously, has anyone adapted a regular BP cuff for a cat? The
vet says if I can alter the cuff, I can measure under the base of
her tail. I've played with the cuff but don't see a practical way
to make it small enough. Maybe I need...

Thyroid vs. urine concentration by
Kai Seymour
First check up in years, and the 16 year old cat allegedly has a
hyperactive thyroid. I know this can cause weight loss but can it also
lead to these other symptoms:
1) Impacted anal glands.
2) Kidney problems (i.e. dilute urine)? And why is dilute urine worse
than concentrated urine?
3) ...

kidney failure and force feeding by
arda
Well, I've read many archive posts (about 200 there are about
force-feeding) and I came up with something different on my own that
seeeems to be working.
Vet had said I should either get her to eat special wet food, or mix up
something with meat AND VEG. My cat likes things like fish, chicken,...

Bonnie's first "real" vet visit by
Cheryl
Up until now, every time Bonnie had to go to the vet it was the county
clinic (shots, spay, etc). I've been dreading having to take her to a
real vet visit but the day finally came. She was having problems
urinating and this morning she cried while in the box so I called the
vet and they fit us...

Need advice, quickly, on partial removal of lower jaw by
Dan Mahoney
So: has anyone had experience with partial resection of the mandible,
and if so, how was the cat's quaility of life afterwards?
I will have to make up my mind VERY quickly, if the biopsy comes
back positive.
Thanks in advance.
No direct experience with the issue, but here's my two...

question about my cat by
Kristine Quilici
I have a long haired calico. She has the problem of pieces of fecal matter
clinging to her hair around her butt when she goes to the litter box. I
usually get a wet washcloth and clean the area at least every other day if
not every day. Lately I have been very busy with work and school and...

feed Nutro? by
Joe Canuck
I want to raise this to everyone's attention here. Steve Crane pointed
this out in a post buried in another thread here, however this warrants
a thread of its own to bring the information "up front" so to speak.
October 15th issue of JAVMA (Volume 223 Number 8) details a study in
which it was...

I need to know some things by
Mike
I need some questions answered. I tried a google search but I had
trouble finding the answers.
1. About how old is a female cat when she has her first litter of
kittens?
2. About what age do they usually stop having kittens?
3. Other than antifreeze, what other chemicals and poisons would cause

Steroids for cats? by
Ken Knecht
I took my cat to the vet today - excessive licking herself and
two dime-sized red spots/sores on her back. The vet gave her a
steroid shot (receipt says Depo-Medrol injectable) and said the
problems should clear up in a few days.
Anyone have experience with this treatment? This is a new vet to
me...

I Just Pulled Something Out Of My Cat's Butt by
guynoir
At first I thought it was a sesame seed and tossed it into the sink.
Then I thought, "I better take a look at that" and picked it up. It
started energetically crawling around on my finger.
