Thanks for your condolences. (I must have been pretty upset yesterday to have made so many typos in my post, good grief.) I’ve had dogs my whole life and Clancy was my first cat. What a love he was.

This morning I had to say goodbye to my sweet little Clancy. He was 13 1/2. Over the course of his life he survived a bowel resection, pancreatitis, kidney problems, and a dog brother who liked to hump him. To say he was laid back in an understatement. I’m going to miss his big blue eyes, his...

Thanks for the feedback. That’s what I thought might work, with fingers and toes crossed of course!

Kind of a medical history here so bear with me. 1. At 6 years old Clancy had a bowel resection and shortly afterwards had pancreatitis. He recovered and was placed on dry vet food (Royal Canin GI). 2. He did well for about 5 years but then began vomiting up that food several times a week. He...

thanks basscat. Clancy is pretty laid back, but I guess he’ll have some adjustment time.

Hi Robert; I took my cat on trips home to visit family, which were two hours, one way. He was fine. Kittens are very adaptable.

Clancy had a few weeks of treatment for pancreatitis. Almost all the meds were administered via syringe, except a small flavoured appetite stimulant, and later, prednisone also in pill form. We’re almost done with his meds and he appears totally back to normal (eating well, etc). The last week...

When you say you’ve tried taping, was that plain tape? You can buy this carpet protector than comes in a roll. It sticks on like a glove and doesn’t come off or rip. It’s amazing. It’s used for when you paint, renovate, etc. I got mine at Lowes, I think. Once your kitty doesn’t have the...

Not for my cat, but for my dog. I put his dose in individual gelcaps, and then feed it to him in a pill pocket. Would your cat eat a pill pocket? Tylosin is wicked bitter.

I know how stressful it is, I really do--especially when everything you try doesn’t seem to work. Hang in there! The vet gave her a shot of prednisone, or was it something else? I know the appetite stimulant (which is actually an anti-depressant) is administered every 48 hours. Does she...

No apologies necessary! I just wanted to be sure I was focusing on the right parts. Are you giving her an appetite stimulant? Consistent diet with an appetite stimulant may go a long way.

If I can summarize: your cat had an ear infection and sores, which were treated successfully. She spends a couple of days sequestered with your other cat, and becomes sick again. Your other cat has no problems with vomiting, but Gigi does. Now she won’t eat at all. It strikes me that you...

I was wondering if anyone has pet insurance and what their experiences were. It’s too late for my present menagerie (one kitty and one dog) but for future furkids I was wondering. I tend to think it’s kind of a rip-off. For example, a few companies cap out around 5 grand per condition per...

could be for sure.
