This week I lost my best friend to IMHA. If you don't know what this is, like me, then please do some research on it and get educated. I was giving my baby medications and I do not think that I was over-dosing him, but for the rest of my life, I will wonder and have to live with the thought...

To all that offered advice and tried to help. JoJo is gone and I am heartbroken. He was such a wonderful cat and I loved him and he loved me. He had developed IMHA and if you don't know what that is, please look it up and be aware. I am wondering if the medications that I was giving him maybe...

I just got bad news. He is in renal failure and has a kidney infection. His blood count is dropping and they recommend a transfusion which would mean taking him to a different hospital that is open 24 hours. We are both on Social Security so putting a lot of money out fighting a losing...

Thank you. I just returned from the vets. Called them as soon as they opened and they are keeping him for the day for testing and more fluids. I do appreciate the advice.

Thanks. He goes back to the vet on Tuesday and I will certainly tell him about the seeping. I have never seen this in any of my previous cats. I just tried some canned tuna and he licked a tiny bit of the juice from it. Going to check into baby food tomorrow.

I think the vet put him on Orbax as a precaution, because they at first told me he didn't have a urine infection. Yesterday I took him back and they gave him a shot of Convenia and sub fluids. He barely got out of bed after we got home and I don't think he's eaten anything since. He is very...

No, I have vinyl flooring. and clean it up as soon as I find it with the kind of cleaner pet stores recommend. He doesn't sniff around before he pees, just walks along and suddenly pauses to pee wherever he happens to be. He is walking very slowly and seems like a zombie. The vet has him on...

He has had x-rays and does take pain meds for arthritis in his spine. Still pain does not seem to be the issue when he is miles away from the box. I could believe it if he was near the box, like he used to be but this peeing way across the room is new. Kitty diapers? I will have to check that...

Has anyone had the problem of an older cat peeing near the box or many feet away from the box. Jobert is 16 and has been peeing as far away from the box as 15 feet lately. He has been to the vets and had many tests. I'm starting to think he is just senile because he doesn't even squat when he...

Thanks to all who have replied. Our situation is very calm. Boring actually. Husband is gone most of the day and the only other person in the house is my 92 year old mom who stays in her room most of the time. I do have 3 other cats but they all get along just fine. My problem boy has done...

My 16 year old cat has been pulling clumps of hair out of his front legs. He uses his front teeth and "pinches" a bite of hair up and yanks it out. He has been to the vet for extensive health care checks this year but they don't know why he is doing this. Any suggestions as to why he may be...

I too have learned to preferred male cats. They just seem friendlier and more lovable.
