Has anyone bought medication for pets online? Did you have a good experience or bad? Does your vet give you a prescription so you can buy your pets meds wherever you wish? What online petmed Co would you recommend?

Many years ago, I had a long time female house cat (that had been taken from outside, as always). She was with me for about 10 years before I let another cat inside. That did not work out. She hated him. I know she was jealous. The situation was worse than I realized. It caused her lots of...

I've had a cat for some four years now. Recently I introduced into our home a 6 month old kitten. As a given....he is full of energy and likes to play. The older feline is game a lot of the time but there are times she is clearly annoyed and becomes angry. Wanting no part of his youthful...

I had to get Omar to the vet last night as he was having trouble breathing. Xrays showed fluid around his lungs and they took 170 mls out. The fluid fits the visual description of chlye to a T and will be analyzed but won't go to the lab until later today. :-( Omar also had an irregular heartbeat...

I have a cat that stubbornly refuses to stay out of the living room window. I DO NOT want her in there, I do NOT care how much she likes seeing the outdoors. The blinds on that window are fragile, and you have to have them just so or else everyone walking by can see all in there. Just when I get...

When working with my neutered outdoor part feral cat, I must have total conviction in what I am doing. If I get scratched a little along the way, I mustn't react (or the session is over). Any known technique for picking up such a cat with the least risk while slipping a breakaway flea collar...

in cats with no liver damage? This is apparently the question. Talked to my vet today, and he will agree that Buddha should have Tapazole before the ratiation treatment if I can find an article that says that hyperthyroidism can cause high liver enzyme readings in blood tests when there is no...

I've got a problem in my new apartment (which is in an old building) with respect to bugs and am looking for some way of eliminating them that won't harm my two senior cats. I don't know much about bugs and don't know what these particular critters are. They are very small and never seem to get...

First time owning a cat of our own. I let him own for the 2nd time today. Just coming back from errands, I saw our cat roaming outside acceptable bounds! He was coming back to our block, but he was not to go off either block or crescent. He is due at the vet this Monday.

What would you do if your daughters boyfriend did this to your cats? This was taken from an article by Amber Hunt Martin. start article It wasn't just that Edward Baker allegedly bashed the cat in the face. Or that he chased it around the blood-spattered laundry room. Or that

My cat started scratching until he made sores at our previous residence and the vet said it was fleas. We never saw evidence of fleas but we flea bombed, the cat got a depo shot and flea medicine and everything was fine for a few months. We moved. The scratching came back, the vet found no evidence...

My wife and I have an almost 5 year old neutered male cat and a just over 3 year old spayed female cat. We just got a female kitten who isn't spayed as she is not yet old enough. The male was a bit wary at first but has accepted her with great lengths - watching her, giving her baths, letting her...

i ask because my cat has fleas *cringe* and sometimes my scalp itches like no other. so i get paranoid... do i have fleas crawling around on my scalp??? also, my mother does not know about the cat having fleas. although i give my kitty fleas baths, nothing seems to work. what do i do without my...

Help! I have a 12yo neutered male, adopted in August 2006, declawed in front (not by me)-- and he loves marking on plastic, or peeing in it. (plastic dust pan, for example). He has been to the vet to rule out medical problems, but is there anything I can do? He had also marked on throw pillows and...

Hi ... One of our cats has bouts of cystitis and a person at work said she was told, don't know by whom, that cats should not eat canned foods with fish in it if they have cystitis. Is anyone have knowledge of this and if so what would be the reason? The only canned food Saffie will eat is...

What is the average lifespan of a strictly indoor, purebred cat??

In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.health+behav", "KellyH" artfully composed this message within news:YtbRc.90177$8_6.27319@attbi_s04 on 07 Aug 2004: I started doing some research about giardia and came across some claims that virgin coconut oil can kill giardia. ...

I unleashed a monster a few weeks ago when I introduced my little cat (3 years old) to the Video Catnip I've had for years. (It's a VHS tape of birds and squirrels - other cats have enjoyed it a few times, but quickly figured out it's just a goof on them and quit watching) She's deaf, so at least...

I've been reading newsgroups (well, at least the cats newsgroups) for ages and have never had to use my kill file before now. In just the last week, however, for this group, I've had to use it several times every day. Who the heck has the time to keep changing emails/headers just to post...
