Has anyone's cat here had a fractured leg? Cuz I think my cat Hemmy might have fractured her front leg. She dos'nt walk around at all and when she does she tries at all costs not to put any pressure on the foot. She also has a cut on her foot. So at first I thought that was why she was limping, but...

I got a new kitten today (a friend found this tiny guy out in the woods), and he has a bad case of ear mites. I have a vet appt. for Wednesday, but is there something I can use before then to give this little guy some relief over the weekend? I haven't had a chance to run to the pet supply...

First attempt...and I already screwed up cuz I was too nervous. First, I had DH turn the drip on too soon and it started spurting everywhere, getting Dudley all wet. doh!!!! Then, I got the needle in but it didnt seem like it was in right or something because he was very squirmy and I got super...

Am switching to DSL and hope I can stay in this newsgroup. Verizon says it has "some" newsgroups but I did pick this group out of over 1,000. I've loved being in this group. Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time.

Hi all- My 12 yr old cat has started to vomit every few weeks. He has been tested for diabetes, kidney problems, thyroid disease and anything else that blood and urine show. Everything comes back fine. The vet puts him on Flagyl after each episode and it stops the vomiting for a while but he...

I got it figured out... I think Im right When a cat eats something that does not set good, they throw it up... BUT they do this to come back to it.. yes they do what they throw up is actually closer to being digested than it was

HELP!! Our male cat is 12 months old and has been nuetard. His every need is catered for and he is indeed a pampered puss. Yet he continues to betray us by visiting other houses in our neighbour hood for food and attention!! We really are at our whiskers end, almost coming to blows with neighbours...

One of my cats seems to have absolutely no fear of any animal it encounters, but is incredibly shy and timid around people. It is an increidbly beautiful and loving cat, about three years old. He has been neutered, but I feel that somehow the 'wild' hasn't been taken out of him that much! He still...

Hi, there is little you can do from cyberspace, but my one year old cat has been missing for about 48 hours now. She is a neutered all black female. I have heard things about sickos and black cats at Halloween....do you think there can be truth to it? A collegue of mine gives an alternate...

Why is it that tuna is so attractive to cats? Mine, when she has eaten and does not want anything anymore, will keep running for canned tuna if it were available. I understand that tuna should be fed sparingly. Is that because of absence of balanced nutrition, which I can try to address, or...

I am struggling here...and really need some advice. I also think that I have to give a lot of history just to get you all up to speed. Please, if you have a few minutes, read this and share your insight and thoughts with me - I can use all of the help I can get! I adopted two 3 year old silver...

Hello all, I have a 4 pound 17 year old indoor cat who, until two days ago, was in great health for her age. Then quite suddenly she started loosing her balance and falling over. The tipping action starts with her hind legs collapsing and then the rest of her little body follows. This seems to...

Last year, this cat used to visit me regularly in late afternoon, eat her favorite canned foods, watch tv, then leave. During the winter a family emergency forced us to go overseas. We had an apt-sitter, who I couldn't expect to be like me and who mostly left dry food out. At least the cat could...

My 4 year year old female has had bladder problems (blood in urine) and has been under vet care. He wants her to eat canned food, but all she wants is dry. I feel so sorry for her. Can anyone tell me what dry food will help and what stores carry it? Or is there some other way to get more water...

I have 2 male cats...one is almost 3, the other is about 8 months old. They both act like I don't feed them enough. They are constantly begging for food. I currently am feeding them each about 1/2 can of food (5 1/2 oz. can) and about 1/2 - 2/3 cup of dry a day, usually given in 2 meals,...

We have a very sweet little NEUTERED female cat. She has a cat flat to go in and out of the house. Over the past few months we have noticed that she was getting thin even though we kept giving her larger bowls of food. Now we know why : a strange cat comes in and beats her up, urinates inside the...

Hi I have two cats, who have just turned a year old. One is ginger and male (Tayla), the other black and female(Jet). Over the last few weeks, Jet has started too become harder and harder to get in a night, which has resulted in both of them being out all night, as they're very close and I...

If you have time, send her a lot of good vibes today. After a bad weekend and lots of calls to the clinic, I checked her back in last night. Just got a call that she has peritonitis, an infection of her abdomen. This sucks. They are looking for the surgeon today and she's going back into...

I just adopted a stray 8-10 week calico female kitten. I told the vet that she was very sweet and I was handling her alot to help her become socialized. The vet replied "Let's hope she stays that way. Most calico cats are quite ill-tempered." She had worked several years at a cat shelter. I was...

I know everyone is different and every cat is different but wanted some opinions. I only had to put a cat down once and it was about 4 months ago...it was very obvious that it needed to be done and the decline came very quickly. Now her 16 yr old brother has been diagnosed with a malignant tumor...
