Yes, that is so obvious.But, thank you for mentioning it. The most important thing would be to get a new litter box. This of course need not be originally designed as a cat box. I have used the plastic puppy pad holders before. They actually work great. They have very low sided and are big...

Hi. I believe there s a Facebook group for cats undergoing this treatment. You might want to look there if you don’t get enough response here. I just want to add to be sure you don’t overlook another condition developing by thinking it is the treatments,

Hi. Cryptococcus, from what I have seen, can manifest in many different ways and progress very differently. For example; When I worked specialty, there was a cat with a mass in his chest. A Cryptococcus titer was sent to the lab and it came back negative. The cat underwent surgery to have the...

Hi. If you decide to do further testing on her, take her to a specialist in internal medicine and have an abdominal ultrasound done. The cat vet I worked for would allow owners to be with their cats for this, so reduced stress for the cat.

You can also use the old fashioned non clumping clay litter.

Hi. Honestly this looks like an asthma attack. Of course, there is no way to know without an X-ray. If this was my cat, and there is no improvement, I would at least opt for one view of the chest with a radiograph. They should be able to tell from that if he has asthma. Although, the prednisolne...

I am so sorry to read this.

Any updates?

Hi. I think you need to have your cat see a specialist to determine what is going on. Probably an abdominal ultrasound would be the next step. Something is clearly not right. The only abnormalities I see in the blood is the increase in platelets which can be caused by many things including...

Is there any way you can post the results of the blood work? When your cat was at the vet, did they fully examine her mouth?

My own cat has a space occupying lesion (mass) seen on ultrasound in 2021. The ultrasound is the only diagnostic I did. My cat would not be a surgical or anesthetic patient. To high risk. She has been on Prednisolone and Chlorambucil (Chemo) since then. I have seen chemotherapy done to reduce...

Hi. Unfortunately, I have had ample experience with cats being treated for cryptococcus. Sadly, it is never high on regular veterinarian's radar, so often by the time it is diagnosed (usually through a specialist) it is very far advanced. I worked for an internal medicine specialist for about 9...

There are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss of such a wonderful cat. This is so hard. I am sorry. You know you did everything you could for him, and he did everything he could for you. No cat has ever been loved more.

This year, where I am, it is worse than last year, and that year was worse than the year before. It's been this way since I worked at the Humane Society back in 1982. Each year gets worse with more unwanted cats and kittens. It is really sad.

It looks like 6 fluffing kittens. So cute, but does the world really need 6 more kittens? This has been the worst kitten season.
