    Teeth/mouth gums abnormal "tachy mm's"?

    This is exactly what they told me today. Not dehydrated, but he's had issues with his gums/teeth for years now. Thanks for everyone's replies.

    Teeth/mouth gums abnormal "tachy mm's"?

    I thought that's what it might mean, but in relation to oral health? I'll call them Monday; I just thought I'd ask here.

    Teeth/mouth gums abnormal "tachy mm's"?

    Hey, yall, Buddy is going through his bladder/crystals thing again, probably due to the fact that we just had a deck built and he was scared of all the noise. purr bebe :( Halfway thinking about PU, but we dunno yet. Anyway, that's not what this is about. There's a check sheet they do at the...

    Obsessively Biting/chewing/licking The Tip Of The Tail

    Yeah, she gave him one of those 12-14 day antibiotic shots and we are doing the hill's c/d diet to see if it will get rid of the crystals. I don't normally fall for the hill's thing whatever, but the site that I use (that I can't find right now cuz no caffeine yet) says that she doesn't...

    Obsessively Biting/chewing/licking The Tip Of The Tail

    Should this be a new thread instead of necro? My cat Buddy cleans the end of his tail when he has bladder issues. I had kind of noticed before, but didn't pay attention to it, but this time i noticed. He is dealing w/ a UTI and crystals atm, and cleans just the tip. (:)) It's doubly...

    DELAYED, prolonged vaccine reaction

    I don't know if I put this in my posts about Dash, but she had a limp. They basically ignored me when I was talking about it, even though I brought it up more than once. It did go away not soon after she came home from the vet with antibiotics, so I have no idea what caused it. But yes, it...

    Who can afford cats?

    I guess I was accidentally exaggerating when I said $250-$300. It would be $244 for 6 weeks. We spend $73 for 6 weeks now. Hoping to cut down on the increase by using high quality dry food. Good news is that we got a couple of cans of the Hill's rx food when we picked her up and both cats...

    Who can afford cats?

    I think they are growing culture or whatever tonight so they can figure out what's going on. I wonder if there is blood in her urine because she has been licking so much. I found an email I sent to my husband a couple of days ago telling him to watch her butt because it looked swollen to me...

    Who can afford cats?

    Oh, nice! Thanks! She just got home and they said she had blood in her urine. They gave her antibiotics, but I'm to call tomorrow to make sure it's the right kind of meds. But get this. She comes RIGHT in the door and goes to my pitcher of water and just pigs out on it. She's still...

    Who can afford cats?

    I might try this again. I tried it in the past and they looked at me like I was bananas. But that was several years ago before I started feeding them wet food only, so maybe they'll be ok with a soupy mix now. :)

    Who can afford cats?

    Gosh, I'm surprised they even list phos. I've had to search so hard for that info for most foods, even the sustainable human food type stuff. Still quite a bit more than we pay. I will definitely try pate to see if that helps. Kinda desperate right now, especially since she's having a...

    Who can afford cats?

    We have 2 cats, 1 11.2 lb (exactly, has never changed lol) and 1 a little over 14 lb (who is on a diet, and not the sick one). We pay $16.80 each for a case of 24 cans of 5.5oz of food and get 4 cases of that every 6 weeks, so that is ~$73. For Tiki, looking at petco's first listing, it is...

    Who can afford cats?

    Thanks. I did look into that and found what you found, which is probably more than I can handle. I was reading that very good quality dry food is better than low quality wet food, so I was thinking about mixing the two so they will get a lil moisture + quality food. We drop her off at the...

    Who can afford cats?

    I can definitely try that. Is gluten bad for the kidneys/UT? I haven't read up on that.
