I really hope so. I thought the pain meds would help (they are the oral/sublingual type that kicks in pretty quickly), but even after she was super-chilled from having taken those, getting up to go to the bathroom still got her in a frenzy. I basically can't have her on my bed at any point if...

Hi guys-- back when I posted before, my sweet cat Artie was having an issue with a bump on her mouth. That was taken care of, and she was a lifesaver during the pandemic. Unfortunately, I come to you again now with dire situation. She's been to the vet, diagnosed with UTI and got both...

The above replies seem to have you covered! But I wanted to pop in on the eye issue because it looks very similar to the intermittent eye discharge my cat Artie has-- in her case, which looks like in the picture, though not all the time-- it's due to FHV which does not really affect her daily...

Final Update-- I was able to figure after a lot of trial and error that she prefers the "flaked" wet food variety. I am adding that in while adding cat auto-feeder that will give a specific amount for her dinner since she is prone to just "graze" an that will let her have a midnight snack if...

Hi all! Quick update I totally forgot to give earlier! Artie is doing well and, apparently, will need to go on antibiotics immediately in the event that she gets another steroid shot for any reason in the future. The reasoning given was that due to her FHV+ status, this is common for the...

If the sneezing persists after this flare-up, I'll definitely be discussing this with my vet. At this time, since right now it's just associated with this event, I'm hoping it'll go away when she feels better (since she definitely doesn't sneeze like this on any normal day!) Good to know...

The liquid definitely is not mixable with food given the flavor/smell of it, but I've given her the dosages and good salmon treats after (the one-ingredient kind) which she loves. So far she is taking it super well and is more annoyed for 5min and then just happy about treats. Her sneezes are...

Well, quick update, the doc is giving a red light on anything decongestant-wise and is recommending antibiotics. While this doesn't make as much sense to me, he's been through this way more than I have (30+ years!), so I'll be absolutely following his advice filling a script in the morning...

And I will absolutely bring this up-- because the sneezing is the first ever in her life, and it happened after the steroid shot. I adopted her at 2-months or so, and it's always just been periodic eye drainage. Nothing new in her environment, food, etc. So really it seems like the shot did...

I'm waiting on a call back from the vet-- I know for certain that no advice given is to be taken without vet approval, so I totally get the caution and am more trying to think of anything I might bring up when I get that call back. I will definitely ask about OTC decongestant/allergy if...

My 4 year old domestic shorthair cat, Artie, has had eye discharge associate with FHV before, but it was always and still is clear. No colored mucous either-- she is mostly eating and drinking normally, but after having an allergic reaction and getting a steroid shot, about 3 days later, the...
