Hi, I'm giving my cat flagyl once a day for 2 weeks. Right now I'm on day two, and I was unsuccessful in getting the pill into her today (yesterday I was partially successful). My cat Will Not Be Pilled. And I have 12 more days of this?? I'm wondering if the drug will still be effective if I...

I have a 16 YO female cat that has gotten somewhat lathargic - but not completly so - over the last couple of days, she seems to be uninating more and not eating, and her ears sometimes feel a little cold. The obvious thing is to take her to the vet but I'm a little reluctant to do that for...

After an expensive bout of pancreatitis for Beau the epileptic dog, and a mammary tumor removal for Secondo the cat (who knows what that will ultimately entail) I have noticed the Willie the 13 year old tabby is losing weight. I don't think it is as simple as tapeworm or parasite, although it...

I have started sprinkling baking soda in the litter boxes to control oder. The cats don't seem to mind it, and it's supposed to be safe. I just wondered if any one has experienced any kind of problems using it. I am afraid of using the kitty litter with oder crystals & it is very ex[ensive. I...

Hi everyone, About 5 years ago I took in a stray cat, my first pet ever, so I'm pretty inexperienced at dealing with vets, etc. I take her in annually for a physical and any necessary vaccinations, etc. As best I can figure she is between 9-12 years old. Two years ago she had dental prophy...

But with 3 other cats, it is a problem not to have any dry food available when I am at work. He seems to feel fine. He keeps down canned food...
