For the first time since we've been caring for him, our outdoor community kitty has fleas. He's been so itchy and scratchy the past week to 10 days. I was thinking it was food related since we changed food about 3-4 weeks ago, but then I saw a flea crawling on him. I got topical flea meds from...

When my IBD kitty was at his worst with an IBD flare, he was urinating all over the house. The vet prescribed Prozac for him daily for 30 days, then every other day for 30 days. It helped tremendously with the inappropriate urination, but not with the inappropriate pooping outside the box. When...

My Daisy had a dental and one tooth extracted today. We have her pain meds to start tonight. She's not eaten much since getting home. Of course, she prefers dry food over her wet food, but I know that's got to hurt her to some extent. What are signs of pain following a dental extraction?

My kitty, Tumbles is a 13 yo neutered male. (You can read his rescue story here: OMG! Just did a dramatic rescue...was almost a "bridge report" ) He currently eats Purina EN (wet) and Royal Canin Gastrointestinal (dry). He also gets twice daily s. boulardii and Adored Beast Gut Soothe. In May...

My 13 year old kitty, Tumbles, has been having issues. He has a history of gastroenteritis, loose bowels/diarrhea, and has been on RX food for gastro issues since he was an older kitten On 5/12/23 we took him to the vet because he had become a picky eater. They did bloodwork, which was perfect...

Please note: I have a vet appointment scheduled tomorrow morning at the cat only vet. My cat, Tumbles, is a 13 yr old neutered brown tabby. (He's also a TCS kitty and you can read his rescue story here: Tumbles' Rescue Story) About a month ago, I noticed that Tumbles was picking at his wet...

Hannah was rescued from the streets of Fort Worth at the age of 7 months and was adopted into our home the Sunday after Thanksgiving in 2005. She weighed all of 4 pounds and was a medical mess. She started sneezing on the way home. The next day she had raging diarrhea and a severe upper...

My 14 year old kitty, the one who brought me to TCS 14 years ago, has recently started drinking water like a fish and having very large pee puddles in the box. She also might have urinated on a blanket ONCE last week, but I don't know if that's because she was being harassed by one of our other...

My little Hannah-bean is now 14 years old and she's looking it. She weighs about 9 pounds, but has lost muscle mass, so she looks like a little frail old lady kitty. I would like to try to get her some extra nutrients to keep her as healthy as possible. This is her current feeding regiment...

Took my Tumbles to the vet last Tuesday for a prednisolone shot because his asthma has been flaring up and the asthma attacks were becoming more frequent. He has had this shot previously and has never had diarrhea as a result. He has experienced lethargy and increased drinking, but I expected...

My Hannah is now 13 years old. Over the past year, she has lost a lot of her fat pack, but not weight. She is starting to look like an old kitty. :( Her appetite is still very good, but I am wondering if there is anything different I should be doing with her feeding routine. Currently, she is...

My cat, Tumbles (6yo, neutered) threw up all day Friday.  Took him to the vet Saturday and after x-rays, urinalysis, a cerenia shot, and fluids, the vet diagnosed him with gastroenteritis.  Sent us home with food, an antibiotic, fluids, and something to settle his tummy.  He refused to eat the...

Tumbles threw up everything he ate Friday, including water.  Took him to the vet Saturday (yesterday) and he had x-rays, bloodwork, urinalysis.  X-Ray showed no blockage, but did show pockets of gas in his GI tract.  Bloodwork good, but slightly elevated white blood cell count.  Urinalysis...

I can't believe it's been 6 years since this thread:  http://www.thecatsite.com/t/218087/omg-just-did-a-dramatic-rescue-was-almost-a-bridge-report Tumbles has certainly grown into a big boy and is such a great kitty!  So loving, trusting of us, and he still loves to play.  I'm so glad we opened...

My sweet 10 year old Hannah had a dental today, complete with 2 extractions.  She is recovering nicely since she's settled in her large crate and the other kitties are leaving her alone. Initially she was grouchy, grumpy, growly, and hissy.  Now she's snuggled up in her heated bed snoozing.  She...

A few days ago, I noticed this bald spot on Daisy's head.  I thought it was from scrapping with one of our other kitties, but now I'm not sure.  It seems to be getting larger.  She gets a daily antihistamine for seasonal allergies, has no fleas that I've noticed (her last flea treatment was...

This looks promising.  I haven't use it, but will be talking with my vet about it for sure.  Anyone have any experience with it? http://www.vetimmune.com/go/polyprenyl-immunostimulant/product-info

We currently feed Innova EVO Venison and Turkey/Chicken, but our youngest cat doesn't like the Venison.  We tried Wellness grain free chicken and while everyone liked it, it made their poops very stinky.  (I've had that experience with Wellness previously as well.)  We need to stay away from...

It's spay day for my newest rescue, Emmie.  I know it's going to be okay, but I always get nervous when I have to leave my little ones at the vets for any type of procedure.  I have the utmost confidence in my vet and I discussed the procedure, types of sutures used, and the anesthesia used with...

Our fur family has expanded to 4 furry babies.  Emmie showed up in our backyard a few weeks ago, just before some big rains and cold temperatures set in.  My intention was to find her a good family, but I think our family is her good family.  No idea how old she is, but I'd guess somewhere...
