Thank you guys so much! Especially Feebysowner for the advice and photos! I will definitely talk with the airline and make sure we are within the guidelines. I will also look for a soft sided carrier 18x10x12.
We have lots of time to prepare, but it is official that we are making a cross country move. Our boy, Howie, is a big boy. 20lbs of big boy... Its not just that he is fat (he is fat), but he's also long and tall. The vet says his ideal weight would be around 15 or 16lbs.
Anyways, he's a very...
Howie spent half the day at the vet. It turns out that he has a pretty bad UTI. I feel terrible that I didn't recognize this sooner. He just didnt do any of the things that I would recognize as a sick cat. He was playful, affectionate, tail up, eating, using the litter box.....They gave him a...
Hi everybody,
My boy, Howie, uses Worlds best cat litter. I have noticed before that sometimes the urine is a strange color, but I've chalked it up to just being the litter. Today though, it was really obvious. I've attached a photo. To the others who use Words best cat litter, have you seen...
I'm happy to report that Howie is doing much better. I talked to his vet this morning and she started him on prenelozone for a week and back to the old food for now. If I try this again, I will do so very slowly... Howie spent a lot of time sleeping today, but he is eating and drinking. This...
He seems to be doing better today. Last night was awful. He was sick all night long. The vet started him on prenelozone and had me go back to his old food for now (science diet lite). This evening he is engaged and friendly again. Hoping this is over....just can't imagine what would have had...
Has anyone had problems with Royal Canin gastrointestinal formula? We switched yesterday afternoon per the vet's recommendation because of irregularity issues. Within an hour, our 4 year old orange boy was so sick I was contemplating a 45 minute trio to the emergency vet. He lost all bowel...
Howie is our 4 year old boy. He's got feline hyperethstasia and takes gabopentin 3 times a day. Lately we have encountered some litter box problems. He's been pooping outside the box and appears to be holding it as long as he can.
I made an appointment with his vet last week. On the way there...
Thankfully it appears that Howie has forgiven me this morning! Now I'm off to get the car detailed (Howie's accident is lingering...strongly). Say a prayer for next week. May the follow up visit be much much less traumatic!
My boy, Howie, wins the award for worst day ever and he's blaming it on me.
Howie has been pooping on the floor, so we had to take a trip to the vet. First, he pooped in his carrier on the way. He had his temp taken, his anal glands expressed (don't you hate when that happens?), a finger put...
Yes, I would do what you have to, but I can understand not wanting to scare her. My cat takes meds three times a day. He's not so much afraid as annoyed by having to take his pill. We have hard floors in some rooms, and I've been known to just slide the bed out of the way and then back over him...
