My kitty just started Atopica. BOY it's hard to get them to take, isn't it? The first few times I gave it to him, my kitty didn't throw up or have litter issues, but he got very, very nauseous. I knew to look out for tummy issues, because our vet had warned us. When we first got the medicine, I...

Thank you! I will definitely ask my vet-- I wonder if it's worth asking the neurologist too? Would they be looking for something like metabolic encephalopathy? Luckily my kitten doesn't seem to have most of the symptoms like lethargy or weight loss.

I can ask my vet about B-12-- are there any particular symptoms I should look out for? (ETA: Besides the seizure mystery we are trying to solve!) No fluorescent lighting anywhere.

Sorry for the delay in reply! It took most of the day at the vet and when I got home I was so exhausted and it turns out I made myself actually sick with a cold after all the stress and worry. Thank you everyone for the replies and the people who have sent me PMs too! VET REPORT The doctor...

We're about to leave for the vet, I think we'll be boarding the kitten for at least a day and get people to check the gas. If that clears though (and the vet has found nothing else), I am still not sure I ever want to bring him back here! It makes me so scared imagining what could happen.

We are calling people today. We were looking up symptoms for poisoning in pets and there are some low-grade symptoms my husband and I both have as well (really general things like, like dizziness and headache, nothing overt). It's enough to totally have me in a panic though-- I know maybe I am...

I would have to look up again to be sure, it's from 1950s I believe. I know we had to sign a waiver for lead paint because I thought of that when my first cat died, but I don't have an evidence of this cat licking paint and we don't have any areas of chipping or anything like that.

Hello Everyone, I have had an episode with my cat and would like to see if anyone has any advice. My cat is barely three years old (just turned 3 four days ago), abyssinian, weighs 6 pounds. Every night he goes to bed with me and sleeps at my side. Tonight around 3AM, we were both asleep when I...

That's great!! I hope the first vet can help absorb some of that 1k cost. That's a lot to spring on someone unexpected-- but I am glad nothing was worse!

I've heard of accidents like this happening, but it is COMPLETELY TERRIFYING going in for something routine and having everything go awry. Worst nightmare for those of us who consider kitties our babies! I feel the vet should help with the payments for everything that came after the...

Oh my gosh, this looks EXACTLY what my kitten has- right now he's somewhere between your first and second picture- but he's gotten as raw as that red one before. We've been battling trying to figure it out. We know for sure it's not fungal or ringworm, it could be an allergy (the vet feels...
