    Sprained toe?

    Hello friends, Savvy experienced an environmental accident where a bit of weight fell on her front left paw / toes. Perhaps 5lbs, maybe a bit more. After a fitful night of unusual behavior, which included running on it (so I know it's not broken), I noticed a bit of swelling. She'll allow me...

    Will this help tartar buildups?

    Hey everyone, I'm confused. I keep getting conflicting info on this topic. Jackson Galaxy (some of you may be familiar with him...LOL) recommends eliminating dry food because of sugar spikes and it's so caloric. He didn't mention anything about wet food causing tartar build-up though. My vet...

    Stepped on 7-week-old kitten

    I'm very sorry to hear about all of this. It sounds like you are being a great advocate, given the situation. Please keep us informed. We all care about Carrot's well-being.

    Calories & weight confusion

    Hi there, Maybe someone here can give advice on the specific measurements. I took my cat to vet and while there I had her work out a diet plan of how many calories my cat can have each day and how to split wet and dry food. However like I said, you may get your answers from an "Adult Cat" here...

    She's changed

    Hello. Thanks. My friend cautioned me about worrying too much, all the time. She's an only cat, I say. I always worry about her hitting things and herself the wrong way, as I live in a small apartment now. Maybe she was just a bit bruised from play? So I stopped trying to pick her up and...

    She's changed

    Hey everyone, Unfortunately, There's a bit more about "she's changed". Every morning she would jump on my lap while I drink my coffee and do my work. Sometimes she'd even fall asleep there. Now she rarely does that and won't stay for long. She won't let me pick her up, although I know cats...

    She's changed

    Hey everyone, My 3-year-old Tabby's behavior has significantly changed in the past month or two. She has become gluttonous, demanding to eat 3 times a day. She is extremely vocal and will chirp and cry until I relent. As I live in a loft condominium with an open floor plan and no walls...

    Pests

    Hey there and thank you. I just noticed the severity of it tonight. Tomorrow, I will call to see about a vet visit and arrange for in-home groomers going forward. I would like to see the instruments cleaned in my presence. Hmm. Aren't there vets that will come to your home? Just a thought...

    Pests

    Recently noticed my cat has bald spots above both ears. Scratching, but I didn't think it was a significant amount until I saw the bald spots. She is also shaking her head a good deal. Likewise, from information gathered here, I suspect ear mites. I think this is from her "professional" grooming...

    Licked or ate candle wax!

    OMG. I thought I posted this...so I'm giving more of an update. My cat is good now. Because of the symptoms I ended up taking her to a vet hospital off hours. Thanks to every one who talked me through, giving valuable information. I found a friend who let me use their credit card. I am so...

    Licked or ate candle wax!

    OMG. Diarrhea continues she cant even cover it. No one is helping me. Not that they are supposed to. I knew no one would help. GIFTS. Christmas. She's got a sickly meow. ld have sex with the vet for him to help me. I know that doesn't make me sound respectable but I'm so desperate. My damn...

    Licked or ate candle wax!

    She vomited earlier and I presume she passed urine shortly thereafter. This is how I discovered something was wrong...big messes and her vomiting.

    Licked or ate candle wax!

    I'm thinking she's better. I don't feel comfortable saying she is 100% yet. I took vacation day from work today to "watch for illness" I don't exactly know how much she got because it is one of those candles in a big round glass. She's so tenacious! So I'm going to fear the worse. Vet assistant...

    Licked or ate candle wax!

    My cat licked on a scented candle and perhaps the wick, too. Damn roommate. I've done research and I've been monitoring her. She vomited shortly thereafter and urinated. She is eating and drinking. She has been using her box but appears to be straining a bit and had some diarrhea but also...
