For those following our saga... Peewee is doing poorly. He was at the vet all day Fri PM and yesterday. Yesterday he ate some, and seemed perkier by 5PM last night. Of course, since these things happen at the worst possible time, DH and I were OOT on a much needed vacation. I got a call in the...

My vet prescribed Flagyl for my cat who is showing signs of IBD. He wanted to try that out before going to prednisone. It seems to me that since Sebastian has been on Flagyl his appetite has decreased. He shows interest in food then only eats a little. His appetite was better even with the...

I went to the store to pick up some SD Adult Original dry for my cat. There was none on the shelf and when I asked the salesclerk about it, she pointed out the bag of SD Oral Care Adult. She told me that Adult Original was now Oral Care Adult. I had my doubts, but bought the Oral Care, anyway. ...

I have an older cat about 10 years old and she has got fleas which she = got from the dog I believe.I just wanted to know long term health = effects a flea infestation would have but she doesn't seem too bothered with them and I have now got a flea = collar on. Whats the best thing to...

My cat had one ugly grey/yellow incisor - looks like its rotting - but shes eating very well - wet food/ kibble and drinking well - as per normal. yesterday the tooth broke half way. Today I brought her to the vet and the vet said it looks like the tooth broke halfway only but did not touch the...

Hi all! My 15 year old cat has been diagnised with hyper (overactive) thyroid. She has been taking "methimazole" pills to control this problem. The vet has told me about radiation treatment, and some people have told me that the radiation treatment is the better option, even if my cat has no...

Need a little advice with my cat that is starting to mark territory. I have a female, spayed, longhair norwegian snow cat (I think). I found her marking territory in a room far away from her litter box, and right away I started using Nature's Miracle to remove the existing urine from the wall and...

I have over 30 years of life experience with cats, but not around kids. Tommy is a rescue cat that as been with us for 2 years. Perfect in every way, but lately he is attacking the kids. He isn't hurting them, not intentionally, but sometimes he accidently scratches them with his claws and I'm not...

Update on prior post elsewhere - in case y'all read it on alt.med.vet - here's the old post, corrected and with additions - I've been looking on the net for info, but I still need informed opinions from outside - Just got back from the vet - he diagnosed my 5-yr old spayed female Siamese cat as...

If I leave anything made of neoprene unattended my cats decide that it is something to chew on and tear apart. I've gone through 3 pairs of zories and some automotive windshield washer line. They don't go for any kind of natural rubber. How do I stop them from doing this? -- Mark...

My cat Bartleby, 3 year-old male, all black, is a strange kitty. He is the alpha-male of my cat family (5 cats total). He is definately the boss of the cats, they let him eat first, if he indicates he wants someone else's toy, he gets it, etc. But with me, he acts like a baby. The...

- First of all, I've found that it's a little on the extreme side to inject a cat with anesthesia for the purpose of taking a simple x-ray. I was told that it's more common to sedate them with an oral medication. Is this true, or is this a matter of personal preference at the vet? Some...

Today I took my black baby Peewee (age 12) to the vet for a recheck of what was diagnosed previously as ringworm. Well, I got the "good" vet today, and it isn't fluorescing ringworm - symptoms are weird looking ears and forehead (velvety hair/skin, somewhat balding), and itchy. Some swelling above...

I let my cats go out in the backyard but really need to do something about the weeds in the lawn. Is there something that I can use on the grass that will kill weeds but not harm the cats? A holistic weed killer?

This is not all that important but: I bought some sliced turkey at the grocery deli for $4.99/lb and my cats loved it when I gave them a few bites. We ate it all that day. I bought the same brand the next day (cuz I ran out) from a different grocer for $2.99/lb and my cats turned their noses up...
