Hi, all, I've been lurking on this group for a while, and now I'm hoping you can help. Lilli, my very sweet 14 year old calico, is breathing very rapidly and is clearly uncomfortable. I have been to the vet--in fact, I've spoken with all three vets at the practice--we've done an ultrasound, which...

From: "Mary" I'm gonna have to catch up on my reading hereabouts; it seems I've missed even more obsessive musing on the life of Laura by the resident pathetics. I guess they're getting Internet access at the group home these days. :-) Laura I wouldn't...

I am treating a young cat which has had cat flu since birth and was lucky to survive. I gave her a course of Synulox antibiotic and it did seem to help but later she possibly got re-infected by another older wild cat who is a less serious case. Second course of Synulox did not seem to work. I now...

Does anyone here meditate and then end up having their cat interrupting it? I know both my cats like to do this but of course the positive energy may be why they want to hang around. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy:...

At least 40 felines have been mutilated in the Denver metropolitan area in the last year – four of them over the weekend – and the 11th murdered pet in Salt Lake City was discovered Tuesday at a country club. Many of the pets have been cut in half, beheaded or disemboweled. Some have had their...

I called my vet and she is on vacation untill Tuesday. I am hoping someone else may have seen this. Sir Lancellot has 2 K9 teeth on the top right side - I am guessing one is a baby tooth that has not fallen out - neither is loose nor does it seem to bother him - it is not swollen or red. It...

I let the boys out into the backyard after getting home. A couple of minutes later Nipsy comes running in with a bird in his mouth. A little sparrow. I never thought he could actually catch one. It wasn't even dead when I saw that he had it but it wasn't going to be getting better. Then he finished...

Last night I saw the people who adopted one of Boots' littermates. They mentioned that they were just now making arrangements to get "Midnight" neutered ........... and declawed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sometime in the last month he started clawing the furniture, screens etc. They said they have a large...

So my cat was about 20 years old and the thing looked like it was in agony. I have been walkin reported to be walking sideways lately and loosing a ton of hair. Upon inspecting the clumps of hair that were falling out, I saw that they were due to these red lesions on the cats back. For fear of some...

My grandparents have a male, neutered cat that is about 5 years old. He had a stroke a couple years ago and never fully recovered so he stays indoors. This cat has gained so much weight and now weighs 25 pounds. My grandmother finally took him to the vet and the vet put him on one of the Hill's dry...

Ugh, don't you just hate when you take your cat to the vet only to find that she has a totally unrelated problem??? She has elevated liver values. We are waiting in limbo to find out what is going to happen with her. She also turned out to have elevated thyroid values so she's on tapazole. Since...

I know this is a cat group, but I don't want to join another ng. We have a 13-year-old cocker. He's been a good dog, but can no longer hold his bodily functions. We have him gated in the laundry room (it's 1st floor, sunny...not dreary basement) because he pees and poops on the carpet if he has...

This was my first attempt at grooming a cat, so what do you think? Did I do OK? http://www.azsinglescene.com/images/cat.jpg James

My 9 year old cat Rusty has been pooping watery stool on the floor. He was diagnosed with colitis by the vet. over a week ago and was given a shot of Tribrissen 24%. Rusty was also put on 7 days of S-125 pills. I think it is an antibiotic. He has finished the pills on Tuesday. There are some...
