I took my older cat to the vet in late December due to what appeared to be an eye infection in one eye.  Vet gave me drops (Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone ophthalmic suspension).  So these drops are an antibiotic with a steroid.  My cat seemed to do well with them, but after...

Thanks everyone for the advice, help and vibes!  I definitely plan on staying away from Convenia in the future.  My cat is now on Baytril (for the past 4 days) and has really improved. According to her blood work, she had a high white blood cell count.  A few other numbers were not within...

So I posted all that while waiting to get my appointment with the vet... it is good to know what others' experiences were... this is definitely helpful info. I want to be sure I can ask my vet the right questions too based on what other cat owners may know or have experienced.  I know vets are...

Thank you LDG! Your information was very helpful!  I think her gums look a little pale - not white, just very pale pink... it's hard to tell though - she is a light colored cat.  I noticed my dark cats have dark gums - so I don't know what color her gums are when she is healthy.  I just hate...

I have a newly adopted cat - she was previously an outside cat and I think she's at least 7-8 years old - but I really don't know.  I noticed she was having loose stools for awhile and I attributed this to having been an outside cat.  But after awhile (and after switching to a high quality food)...

I agree with steaming the bathroom. Or put them in a room with a humidifier. Nutri-Cal is another option. It's a high-calorie paste like thing - comes in a tube - it will help your cat when the cat is not eating well. Just put some on the end of your finger and gently open kitty's mouth and...

She wasn't from WI... that's quite interesting! I sent you a PM.

Welcome to the CatSite Forums rob_d!!

Welcome to the CatSite Forums! At a young age, kittens, like humans respond well to routine. His routine has now changed since there is a new kitten in the house. It's good you are showing him attention with the play time and treats. If you have an extra room, I would suggest bringing him in...

One of my cats HATES for anybody to touch his back or belly or back paws. He will growl, hiss and try to bite. I don't know exactly why he does this either. I just attribute it to him being sensitive/fussy. My other cat and he play pretty rough sometimes and he doesn't react to the rough...

lovemahkitties - I apologize for saying bats 'aren't allowed' in my house... when I responded to the thread earlier, I was in a hurry and was skimming the posts and didn't see that part on yours where a bat actually did come into your house! I'm sure I came across as insensitive and my...

Ah, but then again, vaccinating your animal can also be playing Russian Roulette. I'm one of those people who lost my cat to the vaccine itself. My little girl cat went into anaphylactic shock and died soon after receiving the rabies vaccine. No, she wasn't old, no she wasn't a baby, and she...

I'm sorry to hear about your sick kitty. Is he a new addition? Are any of the other cats new members of the family? He could have feline herpes. Another cat could have given it to him, or he could just have it - but it can be spread to other cats - that would possibly explain the snot. The...

My female cat was given the necessary vaccinations including her annual rabies vaccine. At 3 yrs old, she died after going into anaphylactic shock from a rabies vaccine. It has been a year and a half since she died and I'm still very sad and mad at what happened. I still don't have solid...

One of my boys (who has been diagnosed with the feline herpes virus) had the same thing. We used terramycin for him. Went through a whole tube of it (1/8 oz.) using it 3-4 times a day. His eyes didn't completely get un-gooped. We had to start a second tube of the terramycin. He was also...
