    Update on Fred ... My apologies for the late post, I’m a Big Box Manager & this COVID-19 has kept me very busy. I hope everyone is staying safe and doing well through this pandemic. Even after Fred had some of his teeth pulled, we were still having odd behaviors. For his check up, the vet...

    Stomatitis Relief

    We recently rescued a neighborhood cat (Fred) about 1.5 months ago. After noticing strange eating behaviors, drooling and really bad breath we brought it up to our vet.

The first few days he was full of 3 day pain medicine but now he’s starting to show some personality. Still cowering a bit during eating but today he actually ate without me holding his bowl. We are...

    Elavated Monocytes

    Took little man back to the vet last week for another CBC and follow up from his chip & clip. I’m happy to say that his CBC came back all good :yess:. WBC counts are back to normal and he’s growing into a fine young man.

    The infamous Rare Luxating Patella

    Good Afternoon, Once we knew what Roadie’s issues where, I didn’t want to delay her surgery. The doc did say we could wait but I did not agree with making her not have a normal kitten life. I also work very long 12 days but was able to schedule vacation time to be home with her at first. We...

    New Abandoned Kitten Rescue / Litter Question

    We named him Karma ... He’s doing a lot better, still has some skin issues. Medicated shampoo, medicine and line Sulfer dips have helped. His follow up is on the 16th with the vet, I know they will be happy with his progress.
