Nic is Dying by

Most of you won't know me. I haven't posted here for probably over a
year...my computer suffered a fatal crash and I never bothered to
rejoin my newsgroups after it was fixed. But there might be a few who
remember my Nic...my beautiful boy. I'm not sure why I'm posting
this...I just need to, I...

CRF cat not eating by
Sara Jane
Gibbs is an 18 year old orange striped cat. She was diagnosed with renal
failure about
1 1/2 years ago. The big problem now is loss of appetite. When she was
first diagnosed, the vet prescribed pepcid. She hadn't lost weight and was
eating normally. The vet prescribed it as a preventative....

cat exhibits strage behavior when playing with toy by
Rich[_2_]
We have two cats, both 10 year old neutered males. Indoor only, perfectly healthy. Zero medical history. Current on vaccines, etc. About a month ago we purchased a new toy. It's basically a mouse on a wire, and a wand. There's no catnip or any other attractant/stimulant on the toy. They go...

Thyroid surgery by
Mary
Buddha's checkup today revealed that she is indeed hyperthyroid. The doctor
showed me how enlarged her thyroid is now. I'm kicking myself because
another vet saw this a year ago, but because her T3 levels were only
high-normal I did nothing. (Either I misunderstood what this doctor's
partner said...

Do vets really care? by
Linda Hartley
My special friend is Yogi, 17 years old.
He has had 6 vets in his lifetime and each has been different in their
approach to diagnosing and treating any illness he has had.
I would just like to say that in his last days I have done a lot of soul
searching and net searching...latterly, hopelessly,...

Need suggestions on a New food by
Mike
I have a 9yo neutered male cat that needs a food change. He's been on
Hill's Prescription Diet CD/S dry food (for struvite crystals/stones)
for about 7 years. He's always hungry but he doesn't like his food
anymore, he prefers eating the regular cat food. The vet said I could
try another brand for...

Which prescription diet best for chronic constipation/lazy bowels? by
Devlin Tay
My 1.5 year-old male tabby recently had a bad bout of constipation. Toby
did not poo for over two days and a vet check-up found a substantially
distended colon. The vet immediately put him on Propulsid (bowel stimulant)
and Duphalac (lactulose syrup) but he still refused to poo for another...

When do you "call it a day"? by
Eddy[_2_]
I would like to know various people's views on when one should "call it
a day" when a beloved pet has a very serious illness.
If increasing part of the medication to maximum level will give the
animal good quality of life for a large part of the day though in the
end the side-effects of that large...

What kind of cat to get? by
Camilla Cracchiolo
My husband and I are about ready to look for new kitties after
Victor's death a few months ago. We know the basics, like not to look
for "lookalike" kitties...I was very disappointed with our other cat,
Ashley because she looked just like a greatly loved cat I had before
but wasn't the same in...

My cat had an accident - I'm sick with worry! by
Calico
I live on the third floor of an apartment block and yesterday I didn't
close one of the windows properly. Next thing I realise that I hadn't
seen puss in a while so I went looking for her when I noticed she had
pushed it open and jumped out onto concrete. I ran down and managed to
get her back...

Do cats have a high pain tolerance by
Al Kondo
I have two 7 month old cats who are health and very active.
Sometimes when they chase themselves around the house, they sometimes
bump themselves on a chair or table leg with a resounding "thunk".
Yet, they don't even seem to break stride. If I were to engage a
piece of furniture with the same...

Fix Matted Fur? by

Well, I haven't posted in here for awhile.
Those who might remember my infrequent postings might also
remember Bubba the Maine Coon.
Unfortunately, Bubba has crossed the bridge due to complications

Cat making a Chewing Like Movement all the time by
Rex
Hello,
After spending almost a grand, there seems to be not one Vet in Canada that
would diagnose this problem with our cat.
He moves his head from left to right frequently with a chewing motion. I
know it is hard to explain but I'll try ...
Imagine a human vigourously chewing gum and at the...

color of cat's mouth by
Joe Diamond
I'm probably going to make this sound worse than it is, but does anyone know
if it's normal for the front part (just around the front teeth) of the upper
roof of a cat's mouth to be darker than the rest of the roof, which is more
pinkish?

Can cats get pimples? by
Zorin the Lynx
This recently showed up on my cat's chin, and I'm just wondering if I
should be concerned and schedule a vet trip, or if it's the equivalent
of a pimple and will go away soon:

Any ideas? Sorry for the poor quality of the shot; it's hard to hold a

How Do Cats Spray? by

Does anyone know from where cats, both male and female, spray from? I know
they're not spraying urine, so where does the spray come from? Thanks.

Another cat saved by declawing. by
He Who Walks
My cat (DQB) had been tearing up my furniture (as well as my patience)
by clawing everything, particularly when I would have to be being out
of town for two or three days at a time.
My friends Ken and Kathy told me about the success they had with
declawing their equally destructive cat so I...
