I would not use an OTC meds for earmites. I used them years back when Mittens was a kitten and all it did was burn the skin on his ears and make the hair fall out on them. In the end I took him to the vet and they gave him an ointment in his ears and he's never had a problem since. It was...

When my kitty had a UTI they prescribed him Amoxi-Drops for 14 days and gave him a sub-q fluids. Right before he was supposed to be done his meds, he started peeing blood again and I had to take him back and they gave him two one week course of Cefa-Drops and it cleared it right up. Both...

I put some warm water on it and mix it in. Before he had his UTI I would just nuke it, but now he needs as much water intake as possible.

I think if your cat will eat it and she has no health problems, then why switch? I know there are several "premium" foods out there and I've tried them and only messed up my kitty because of it. Do what you can afford and what your cat will eat. It's no use buying a "better" food when your...

Is the dandruff a new thing or has he always been flaky in areas that he might not be able to reach? Has your vet ever mentioned getting him to lose weight or having his thyroid checked? Is there any difference in his litter activities- straining to urinate, going more often, etc.?

My grass yellowed after a few weeks as well. Mittens nibbled a bit for the first few days, but then after that all he really did was rub his face into it.

You should get your kitty to the vet. When my kitty got dry hair and flakes I thought it was an allergy and it turned out to be a month long UTI/kidney issue. I wish I had known then that it was a sign of something going on because previously he had really shiny and healthy fur.

I've heard the FeLV can cause mouth ulcers, has the kitty been tested for that? I know it can be easily controlled if diagnosed properly.

Aww, she's adorable! As for Whiskas, it's not the best food, but if she eats it and has no problems then I wouldn't worry. My kitty Mittens was eating Friskies canned for years and I switched to Nature's Variety, Merrick, Solid Gold, etc. canned food and he ended up with a UTI 8 weeks later...

Aww, that's wonderful. Shelter dogs really are the best! I adopted my Labrador and I can't tell you how great I think he is!

No, it's quite common for dogs to enjoy kitty rocas. Mine doesn't seem to care about the litter box though, so I am lucky!

You should take your cat into the vet and they can tell you exactly what they are. It sounds to me like they are fleas, but I can't see them so I can't tell you for sure.

I know the feeling- except for it's my 90lb Lab that thinks he should be a lap dog that invades my space! Cute pictures!

Awww! They're too cute! I totally agree with you about them moving so fast- I only have a few good pics of mine because of that!

My husband tells me both the cat and the dog are like me.
