Unfortunately my kitty deteriorated rapidly over the night, and we ended up taking him to an emergency vet who ran tests and determined that he had heart failure. We sadly decided it was better to put him to sleep rather than try to extend his life a few months where he would not be comfortable...

Hello! My close to 6yo male cat with neurological issues is acting completely traumatized/shut down after a vet visit a week ago. He was completely normal (for him...he has neurological issues that affect the back of his body, making him chronically constipated and wobbly on his back feet...

Hello! My cat has Megacolon and was prescribed Cisapride by an ER vet, .5ml of liquid solution every 12 hours (which has been working great!). However the small supply the ER vet provided has run out, and the new supply that I received from the pharmacy is in tablet form (10mg tablets). Does...

Hello! My nearly 5yo cat with neuro and back side issues has been struggling with chronic constipation for a while, and unfortunately had to be taken to the ER last night and is going to require manual removal of his feces. I've decided that what I've been doing (as recommended by my vet) has...

Thanks!! This is all very helpful. I've actually come to the conclusion that my vet is just not the right fit for my cat. Unfortunately I had to take him to a 24 hour pet hospital last night because he was starting to act pretty lethargic, and turns out he has to stay until tomorrow and have the...

Hello! My male cat that is about 5 has neurological issues that affect that back side of his body. He has always had some issues pooping (constipated) and peeing (gets uti's/loses control of ability to pee). However, his constipation issues seem to be getting worse. He is on cisapride, and...

Hello! My cat is about 4 years old, and has neurological issues that create issues for him with peeing and pooping, and make him more susceptible to UTI's. About a week ago he was showing all the usual signs of a UTI, small little pee's on the floor (normal for him when he has a UTI), acting...

Thank you all so much. Yes, i figured that it would likely not be helpful, but thought it was worth a shot. For example, there is a genetic condition in Maine Coone's (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) that matched up well with all his symptoms, so just thought i'd try and see.

The front of his body is quite large compared to the back. And my apologies, i try to use wipes to clean him up a couple times a day, but he had just recently had an accident at the time of these pictures!

My 2 year old male cat Muench has had health issues for about a year and a half now and despite tons of tests and treatment nothing has really helped and a couple different vets are not sure exactly what he has...i am wondering if perhaps figuring out if he is related to any breed could lead me...

Thank you so much! i'll definitely do/ask that. One more question...if its been almost a month of clavamox without any significant improvement...should i ask for a different antibiotic treatment?

Thank you so much! That makes a lot of sense. The lack of grooming could definitely be in part to blame...Muench is not really able to groom that area of himself well, and he is a long haired cat (we now have his shaves as well as possible in that are)...but im also curious about the...

One more thing that i've been curious about that i forgot to mention. The vet says Muench as a minor BACTERIAL infection. I am curious about this because i've found a lot of information that seems to be contradictory about this...with most sources talking about bacteria being the cause of UTI's...

A little background, my male cat Muench is almost 2 years old now...he has some sort of undetermined combination of relatively mild neurological/nerve/spinal issues, some possibly related to the cerebellum. He can walk, and gets around just fine, and is not in pain, but has a definite and very...

@denice thanks so much for that! He did mention when i told him that there had been a noticeable improvement that he would probably prescribe an oral medication that i would give every other day sometime this week. I thought he said 'predisone, but now that you mention prednisolone that could...
