So sorry to hear about your loss =( I think you would maybe have to get that vet to testify (the one who did the necropsy). It depends on if you find the trouble worth it. If you won you could get reimbursed some vet bills...maybe the necropsy bill, if they find the vet was responsible you can...

My cats love the chicken and beef rolls and also the little medallions in gravy that come in the cups. The food smells really good too but it's hard to find now. They seem to stock it more for dogs and a lot of places I only see their dog food in the fridges.

We love the cat dancer too. If your dudes like catnip, a new thing we've been doing is spraying the inside of paper bags which the cats love anyway with catnip spray and they go nuts.

A few tests and an exam might be worth it if you can spare a little money. For instance, a lot of old cats get thyroid disease that's pretty easily resolved with medication and those cats can lose weight dramatically and be old and miserly and then be a new cat after treatment. Just an example...

Mine are allowed in the bed. There are always disturbances, like the other day Hugo managed to get past the fireplace screen and basically rolled in soot and then jumped in bed with me at 2am. He's normally pretty good most nights about picking a corner of the bed and just sleeping there for a...

Honestly last time we had an emergency vet visit while trying to lose weight on a non rx science diet weight loss food...I am really torn over what to try. The food they eat now isn't the highest quality or most expensive thing I can afford but it's a lot better quality than RC and SD and the...

My vet recommended this for my cat who is overweight and has had a minor urinary issue recently...the ingredients are killing me but if it will really work we will try it. Hugo is 9 and has heart disease/asthma also so it is becoming very important he not be so overweight. I adopted him from the...

If he needs many extractions that could be the reason for cost. I paid that much over two cleanings in which Hugo got 6 and 7 teeth removed each time respectively. Both my cats get yearly cleanings, but if no extractions are needed, it is only a few hundred dollars just for cleaning. Teeth that...

Looks fungus-y to me too, though I'm not a vet. You could try these? These things clear up my cats yeasty ears and pretty much every other little skin thing we've come across. They say they are safe to use on sensitive areas like the genitals so I would think you could use them there on the...

I think as long as you have air circulating and it's not extremely hot. Cats are descended from desert animals but I still wouldn't want to leave my cat with temps climbing into the mid-high 90's. Can you get maybe a cheaper window AC unit and keep her in the same room while you're gone?

If it's all dry then it has been absorbed. I think there's maybe a chance the fur could still be oily after just 1 day so the packaging says to wait. Sometimes it takes a little more than a day to disappear on my big kitty that uses the large cat dose.

It was just our regular vet at the time. I think at some point if the other treatments aren't working, the teeth get so compromised that even if the procedure doesn't cure it, it is still better for the cat to have them gone.

We did steroid shots for years and that worked but we had to do it every month. Eventually an infection spread to my old guy's jaw and we had to get the full mouth extraction, which cured him completely. He was 16 or 17 years old when we had all of his teeth removed, and the next few years we...

Ferro used to pant when he played as a kitten, but it was just because he played really hard. Lots of jumps and flips and twists. He's 4 now and doesn't go quite as hard. Hopefully your girl is just a really enthusiastic hunter! Hope to hear good things from the vet for you.

I had a parakeet at one point and my old cat pulled her cage down on to the floor, bird squawking and fluttering (it pretty much fell on him). He was afraid of the bird after that and never came near her again. The bird was fine.
