I talked to a vet today and she said that her blood work wasn't good because her liver protien levels were low, but she said the white blood count being elevated was surely because of the infection that she had. She said it could be something as simple as tweaking her diet to something more...

Two months after putting Stanley down suddenly and 5 months after putting Slim down and daily dealing with 21 year old Simba and his issues we are told Samantha who is about 14-15 might have liver issues. I don't know exactly what is going on, Deb talked to the vet last night but said her head...

It's not quiet too often because he's usually screaming at us to give him food! :jester: :gingercat: The other day Deb gave him something to eat, this was after he had already eaten. But he kept yelling at her and she said "Simba, it's in your bowl, eat that, you're not getting anything else"...

I just got an email response from the woman who netted him many years ago to get him to a vet to have his teeth looked at, and she said she thinks I am right on this is why he stays in the kitchen, she said "he feels safer in a smaller world" and "maybe one day it'll change" and he'll come out...

Thank you for the replies. We both had suspected that his hearing was bad, but when I was walking behind him the other day and he didn't look at me or turn around, even when I was calling his name, I thought this might be the problem. I am surprised that he didn't feel the vibrations in the...

I am so sorry for your loss...

Thank you. I was just sitting on the floor with him spending time with him, petting him, just letting him know that I was there and care, gave him some things to eat, added a little of the probiotic powder but you know that old guy didn't eat it, must've smelled it lol! So I gave him some...

There's not much they would do for him at 21 years old, plus he'd have a heart attack if we tried to catch him, or he'd break something bouncing around in the carrier, we had to have a woman come in years ago to trap him so we could get his teeth worked on and it was horrible, she said "I hope I...

You can come into the kitchen from the living room and also the dining room, so 2 ways. But he can watch both ways from where he is.

Well this might be part of the reason that he stays in the kitchen, we have discovered that he has gone deaf or cannot hear much at all. I walked right behind him today talking to him, nothing. I kept calling to him and no response. He then sensed that someone was there but was looking to the...

Yesterday Deb said he did follow her into the living room to see what she was eating, tried to stand up on the chair, his long claws got stuck, she almost had a heart aatck trying to free him before he broke his leg, so maybe he did that before and he is now scared to go in the rooms because of...

Things are as good as can be expected at the nursing home, nothing horrible happened lately, they are as good as they can be. Stanley never went into that space much, only once in awhile to just check it out, but he didn't stay in there much. And I do remember last year Simba and Slim would...

I was talking to a client today who knows of our situation, she is a dog lover but she also said "he might be upset over what happened to Stanley", even though the two of them were not close, he still feels it and knows that something tragic happened, and as we all know they can pick up on when...

Well about 15 minutes ago I had the door to the basement open because Sylvester and Snickers went down there and I was seeing if they were ready to come up, and all of a sudden Simba walked over, looked down, bolted down about halfway, stopped and looked around and continued into a room down...

The weather here in Pennsylvania has been all over the place! Two weeks ago we broke a record when it hit 87 degrees, then it was cooler out and everything in between! If his thryoid is overactive I would tend to believe that he likes it cooler, and in fact I remember last year he would go down...
