Everything is so expensive...the Albuterol is $70. Heck, they charged me $450 for an in-hours blood test--the one they messed up and caused me to seek out another vet. I'm unfortunately in a very expensive area and these vet clinics often take advantage of that as much as possible. I was paying...
I only have saline but between Romeo's recurrent FHV related respiratory stuff and the old cat Squeaky's severe asthma, I think in addition to his albuterol and Aerokat that I need some Fluticazole to add to the nebulizer...
The dust/mold had cleared and with the cooler weather I've opened the windows to circulate the air, but I live in a densely populated neighborhood with lots of pollinating trees and plants year-round. Also, it's constantly "lawn care day" with the sound of lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and edgers 7...
Yes, he has an Aerokat inhaler and albuterol for episodes between Depo shots. Poor guy has food allergies, dermatitis, asthma, environmental allergies...he has all of his teeth out due to severe stomatitis, and clearly, he has an overactive immune system. The Depo was controlling his dermatitis...
Yes, all of the "fallout" has cleared, but the junk that I think caused his bronchitis and my eye issues stems from that A/C air handler removal. I was kinda surprised to hear that the plan was Depo today also...given he was on a 1-week regimen of prednisone which was marginally effective due...
Thank you! Fingers crossed it doesn't spike him too badly. My 17+ yr old former feral gets Depo every 6 weeks for allergies, asthma, IBS, etc and he's never had an issue but just worried about Romeo since he once went full diabetic on me. I took him off all dry food and he had two weeks of...
The situation: In November, 2023, I had my A/C unit fail and it had to be ripped out of my 950 sq ft. place. They had the front door open for 7 hours to the pouring rain whilst they removed the 20 yr old air handler, and stirred up dust, mold, and god knows what else.
Immediately thereafter...
They only did a fecal test for parasites (clean). He doesn't have heartworms though, and his flea medication covers that. It's been a week, his appetite is still off, seems nauseous so giving him what's left of the Cerenia I have...he ate a little today on his own but we had another bad syringe...
I’ve tried all kinds of baby food and he won’t have it. This morning, after mirtazapine last night and him keeping me up all night licking and walking over me, again he refused to eat. Got out the old 600ml syringe and filled it with his breakfast and managed to get it in him over the course of...
That’s an idea… but then I’m just imagining the house reeking of baked cat food every day… and it wouldn’t work when we have to travel to my parents’ house for holidays and whenever. I’m sure mom wouldn’t tolerate the smell of baking wet Blue Wilderness in her oven🤣
I wish...he won't even play that game either. He also doesn't like treats, tuna, chicken, any people food at all--just nasty carbohydrate-riddled dry food which he cannot have anymore. I waste so much expensive CKD low phosphorous food and whatever I mix it with trying to get him to eat. Also...
My 14-year-old CKD Maine Coon mix is the epitome of picky, to the point of hunger strikes because he's still mourning the loss of dry food from his two-week Diabetes Type II adventure a few years back. Now it's wet food, low phosphorous kidney food mixed with some Blue Wilderness Adult Chicken...
I've got one that's around 16-17 years old, former feral, late neutered TNR and he humps a teddy bear or blanket every night. It's just something I've learned to deal with. The other two aren't humpers. One was neutered as a kitten and the other was a rescue neutered at 3 and he doesn't hump...
It was done "in house". All of the values including creatinine came back normal (or in the case of creatinine, only slightly elevated which is consistent with his Feb 2023 test). All the other values that were way high or low came back "perfect" the second time. So basically he was sneezing from...
