    Questions about Buprenorphine (Buprenex)

    We use buprenorphine frequently at the clinic where I work. Most cats tolerate it very well and the "hyper" effect you've mentioned can be seen. Now if your cat is uncomfortable...well, whose to judge that really? If it helps with his pain you have to weigh the pros to cons really. It certainly...

    I drive. To get to work it takes me about 12 minutes. To get to school it takes me anywhere from 5-15 minutes (depending on traffic).

    I had a seizure last night

    I'm glad you're okay! That's very strange.... Hopefully they can figure out why it happened and hopefully it never happens again. Oh how I feel for your DH. My boyfriend has epilepsy and it is terrifying when he has a seizure, even after I've seen several! Isn't it lovely when doctors ask...

    Inconvenient resting places

    If I get up for even a second from the couch/bed/wherever all 3 of mine are seat stealers. But Harvey gets the prize for inconvenient spots. He likes to sleep stretched against the front door which makes coming in or going out very difficult.

    How often do you wear make-up? men and women welcome ;-)

    Almost everyday. I'll very occasionally go out without it if I just have to make a quick grocery run or something. But if I'm going to work or school or anywhere for more than twenty minutes I put it on. I just use a little light foundation to even out my skin tone and then eye makeup. Usually...

    Ear Infection not better w/treatment - ideas? experiences?

    You do have a sticky situation. Poor Sam, . The least invasive of the three seems of course to try the Animax again. I agree that steroids should probably stay at the bottom of the list since he's doing poorly. Now...if the Animax doesn't help and you and your vet are at a dead end, you really...

    Hyperthyroidism

    What mg is the methimazole Arthur is on? With HT kitties it's often a see saw game for the first year or so. They're numbers will go high and then low when started on medication. Probably a good idea to get his T4 rechecked and see where you are. Oh and there is a medication called felimazole...

    We've had a breakthrough!!!!

    So, we've had Danny for a year now. Luke and Danny didn't get along from the beginning. They hissed at each other every time they were within six feet of each other. Luke would bully Danny all the time. There would be fights all the time. No major fights, since they both just slap and run away...

    Afternoon all, . Well, I'm done with school for this semester as of an hour ago. WOHOOO!!! Josh just left to go up to Tennessee. His sister is having a c-section tomorrow and he's going to surprise her by showing up at the hospital (after spinning the story that there was no way he could come...

    Usually my days off in the middle of the week are filled with school, but since I just took my last finals (WOHOO!), I'll actually have full days off!! My days off are a combo. I lounge around in the morning, get errands done in the early afternoon, then come home and do chores around the...

    Yelling kitty in heat, help.

    Get the cat spayed! There is nothing that's going to stop this behavior. The only solution is to get her fixed. As far as wanting her to have kittens.... There is no need for more kittens in this world. There is a million things I could say, but you'll probably get several replies that say the...

    Question of the Day - May 5th

    I usually go out to a fabulous Mexican restaurant called Superior and partake in their celebration. Lots of salsa and yummy food and LOTS of margaritas. . BUT, finals are next week and I need to be studying, so I'm skipping this year.

    Stomatitis- is my vet not being proactive enough?

    I agree. Pull the teeth! Steroids and anything else your vet can use for treatment, is just that, a treatment. It isn't a cure and sounds like it isn't even giving her much more comfort (only stressing her out more, which can make her stomatatis worse actually.) At the clinic where I work...
