We recently found out our 16 year old cat has high creatinine and BUN levels. Phosphorus and other blood levels are in the normal range and urine s/g is at 1.017. Since having him on SubQ fluids, the creatinine levels have dropped from 5.7 to 5.2 and BUN from 57 to 42. We're now trying to get him...

Every cat I've had that's been neutered has had scabby cat disease. Currently I have two indoor only unneutered females (they are doing fine) and they do not suffer from excessive licking. I'm wondering if neutering messes up there hormone production and has an effect on their resistance to...

This has happened twice. The cat in question is the only pet in the household. She is very docile and playful (mixed breed). She loves new people or visitors and sidles up to them and plays with them. Absolutely very social. Not declawed but does not scratch in attack, has never bitten anyone...

my cat has mild fleas. have combed her and found maybe a dozen at best and going to be attempting to bath her with dr. bronnes castile soap tomorrow. however, a couple days ago, she scooted across the floor when i got home, adding additional worries now when i thought i was making progress. she is...

We have a "rescued" cat, Katie, who became nauseated and was retching, and not eating. She is overweight. Our vet did blood work, and then an abdominal sonar and fine needle liver aspiration biopsy, and tells us that Katie has hepatic lipidosis, and cholangiohepatitis, and pancreatitis. (her total...

so it's been 6 days since we've had the 5 month old brothers and they are still really scared and not affectionate. they lived at a shelter most of their lives so I don't know exactly how much human touch they had. they don't hiss at us but they don't let me pet them unless they are way under the...

Hello…. I have a cat situation that has arisen… I live in a rural area of NJ. We have a lot of woods and animals that run around (Groundhogs Deer etc...) My wife and I are both animal lovers and we own 2 pure bred Ragdoll Cats. They are strictly indoor cats. They are treated like the king and...

My 3 month old kitten has been sneezing now for close to 4 weeks. I had him for about a week when he began sneezing. I immediately took him to the vet but, because the kitten was acting and eating normal, the vet recommended that we do nothing an let the virus either 1) run it's course or 2)...

We are about to introduce 1 more sweet, all-black kitty to our other two tabbies which have been with us for 7 years. Do we need another litter box to accommodate the newest, who is about 8 months old and 6lb. 4oz? The other two are about 10 lbs each. Many thanks for taking the time to...

OK. I have a question. I've tried this before, but really haven't been satisfied by the answers I've received, but as usual, when checking out these cat groups, I continue to be flummoxed by some of the stuff I read: So some brief background: I adopted my kitty from the Anti-Cruelty Society in...

I'm aware that a few years ago a drug company was doing a study on the effectiveness of Amlodipine in cats to treat kidney failure. Amlodipine is (I believe) a treatment for high blood pressure, and perhaps a reduction in blood pressure (even in cats with normal blood pressure?) might be the...

I saw my first male calico today! He was adopted last week at the shelter, and we all thought he was a girl, being calico and all. We even shaved the belly looking for a spay scar. The new adopter brought "her" back today to be spayed. The vet did a look under the tail, and said he was a...

For the last couple of years, Benny will sometimes "attack" the loaf of bread that's on the counter. He doesn't seem to eat any of the bread; just seemed to like chewing a hole large enough to dry it out (and the fun of knocking it to the floor!). There was no pattern to this. He would go for...

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a mixed breed cat with a bobtail before? Today, I came across a cat that looks to be a Ocicat, possibly a Bengal mix with a bushy tail (a stub possibly, it looked like his tail got cut off and they left a bushy part). He looked to be abandoned and the complex...

I just made a quesadilla with spiced ground meat, green peppers and onions and cheddar cheese and my cat went crazy. I gave a piece to my mom, and he was climbing all over her to try and snatch a piece. I don't think he has any Mexican in him being an American Shorthair...LOL, but who knew? It's...

I am bringing my five cats from Northern VA to San Juan Puerto Rico late August since I am moving there. All are adult cats from 12-15 lbs. Any suggestions on where to get low cost airline approved cages? Anyone in the DC area who has them for low cost or free for me? Any experiences with United...

Abbey just got back from her ultrasound (echocardiogram). She has no heart problems; we were hoping she would have heart disease that could be treated. Her lungs are badly scarred from the chyle, which we knew. She has a mass of about 1" x 3/4" that they cannot tell if it's a tumor at the base of...
