Steroids for cats? by Ken Knecht
I took my cat to the vet today - excessive licking herself and two dime-sized red spots/sores on her back. The vet gave her a steroid shot (receipt says Depo-Medrol injectable) and said the problems should clear up in a few days. Anyone have experience with this treatment? This is a new vet to me...

I need to know some things by Mike
I need some questions answered. I tried a google search but I had trouble finding the answers. 1. About how old is a female cat when she has her first litter of kittens? 2. About what age do they usually stop having kittens? 3. Other than antifreeze, what other chemicals and poisons would cause a...

feed Nutro? by Joe Canuck
I want to raise this to everyone's attention here. Steve Crane pointed this out in a post buried in another thread here, however this warrants a thread of its own to bring the information "up front" so to speak. October 15th issue of JAVMA (Volume 223 Number 8) details a study in which it was...

Bonnie's first "real" vet visit by Cheryl
Up until now, every time Bonnie had to go to the vet it was the county clinic (shots, spay, etc). I've been dreading having to take her to a real vet visit but the day finally came. She was having problems urinating and this morning she cried while in the box so I called the vet and they fit us...

kidney failure and force feeding by arda
Well, I've read many archive posts (about 200 there are about force-feeding) and I came up with something different on my own that seeeems to be working. Vet had said I should either get her to eat special wet food, or mix up something with meat AND VEG. My cat likes things like fish, chicken,...

Thyroid vs. urine concentration by Kai Seymour
First check up in years, and the 16 year old cat allegedly has a hyperactive thyroid. I know this can cause weight loss but can it also lead to these other symptoms: 1) Impacted anal glands. 2) Kidney problems (i.e. dilute urine)? And why is dilute urine worse than concentrated urine? 3) ...

Measuring blood pressure by Ken Knecht
My vet has me medicating my cat for high blood pressure ($$$$$!). Seriously, has anyone adapted a regular BP cuff for a cat? The vet says if I can alter the cuff, I can measure under the base of her tail. I've played with the cuff but don't see a practical way to make it small enough. Maybe I need...

Wendell has asthma-advice? by CarliEntin
So Wendell was about to go to sleep, and suddenly he coughed--then passed out. He went limp, and his eyes were open. I thought he was dead, but apparently he just fainted. I took him to the vet, who took x-rays and told me he almost definitely has asthma. (I'm a little annoyed, because last time I...

People and allergies by Bonnie Forman
Wondering if anyone has any knowledge of what current drugs are out there (prescription or over the counter) that are good for people who are allergic to cats. Seems to me I recall seeing a commercial recently, but I can't remember what the drug was! TIA Bonnie

Imuran killed my cat! by eric
Approximately 2 months ago, my cat, Luther, a sweet gray tabby, went to the vet and was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. He was placed on prednisone and Imuran for this. I, foolishly, trusted the vet and did not research the drugs being administered. The IBD seemed to improve but about 2...
