Thanks for the advice. I'd never heard of bone broth before. I'll look into it.

I have two 12-year old girls who are both pretty healthy for their age. They're both less active than they used to be but nothing out of character for them. Just getting older I think. One of the two had complete dental care last summer including some extractions and I will bring my other one to...

I don't think they prescribed azithromycin without the PCR test and culture. My vet says it's not usually the first one they try but definitely find out whether your cat has herpes or not. My cat doesn't have herpes so lysine is totally useless for him.

I think one is fine. I personally have three thinking of adopting a fourth one from the shelter I volunteer at. We can't all be crazy day ladies though. Your cat will be fine.

I tried Wellness Core but it didn't pass the taste test here. Still think it's a good brand though. I'm currently feeding Nutro wet (rotating chicken, duck and salmon/tuna) and a bit of Nutro kibble (chicken) and everyone is doing well on it.

I use a pill gun for Houdini. He gets one 25 mg pill two times a week. He's very easy to pill though. You might want to try a pill pocket if your cat is less inclined. They also offer antibiotics in liquid form I believe.

My Houdini was on a series of antibiotics for several months before he was finally put on Azithromycin. I brought him to my neighborhood vet several times and they tried him originally on doxycycline, and then Clavamox and after that he was on Convenia for a while and they also tried...

I adore black kitties. Beautiful cats!

Houdini doing what he does best.

I adore Tuxedos! They're all so unique looking. Here's a picture of my 12-year old girl Polissonne. The second one is a picture of a little girl at the no-kill shelter I volunteer at. I'm thinking about adopting her but feeling a bit crazy since I already have 3 cats at home. She's adorable...

Hi again, The URI panel that my vet did included a blood test and an analysis of nasal discharge. He tested for all the usual suspects: FIV and FeLV (which I knew he didn't have), feline herpes, calicivirus, chlamydophila, mycoplasma and bortedella. He tested negative to all of these which...

I clean up the litter boxes two times a day. I have three cats. I've never heard anyone say that you should only clean once or twice a week. It seems to me that this could lead to behavioral problems. Cats are by nature pretty diligent about keeping clean.

My neutered male humps his cat bed from time to time. I let him. It doesn't botter me, doesn't botter anyone really.

My cat was by diagnosed with chronic rhinitis 2 years ago and for months it seems he couldn't get much relief from antibiotics. He would get better temporarily and then worse after the course ended. I consulted with a specialist veterinarian and he ran a URI panel and didn't find anything. My...
