    Slight Limp...horned Pad?

    Yet another update....as Aggie snores on the other chair beside me. I've been reading way too much on line about this Onsior...and am now concerned about giving her a second dose. I just don't want to cause her issues from any potential side effects. Last night, she climbed the cat tree and...

    Slight Limp...horned Pad?

    Thanks for all the thoughts! Very much appreciated! I tried to give her the liquid Gabapentin this AM shortly after my post. Aggie spit most of it out all over me. My wife was looking at her paw and she reacted at one place. We took her back to the emergency vet place and we got a different...

    Slight Limp...horned Pad?

    Well, that was odd. This AM, she's favoring that leg/paw a bit more. Walking sometimes with using only the opposite front leg. I gave her some food, and she took a few steps with one paw held up....then walked behind the TV stand (as best I could see) someone normally. When she came out from...

    Slight Limp...horned Pad?

    Thanks everyone! I gave her one dose of the pain medicine, (Gabapentin?) and she didn't like it a bit. Shook her head and took off. She doesn't seem to have pain...so I've been holding off on that. Aggie is 7 years old. The Vet asked the same and thought it was possible that she could be...

    Slight Limp...horned Pad?

    Hello all! Just when I hoped we were done with cat issues. Our two sister, Aggie & Allie are getting along much better...but it took three months after misdirected aggression. Over the past few days, I've noticed Aggie was favoring her right, front leg. Today, I took a look at her by sitting on...

    Does The Feliway Diffusers Really Work?

    Perhaps of little help, but... We tried the Feliway when Aggie and Allie started their hissing, etc. I didn't see that it made a measurable difference in our case. We ran two of them in different rooms for about two weeks. Perhaps it was too soon...but something I read about them gave me pause...

    Sisters....getting Along Better....not Quite Normal...

    I try to play with them together with the laser light of fishing pole...but one or the other often doesn't seem interested. Both are eating, using the box, etc as normal. I feed them side by side and they take treats together. This AM, when they came into the kitchen to be fed...Aggie went to...

    Sisters....getting Along Better....not Quite Normal...

    Hello all...its been awhile since my latest update on our Aggie and Allie. It's almost 2 months since we heard them growling and hissing under a bed together. After a couple weeks separated, they've been loose in the house. It seems about once a day they cross paths in a way that causes them...

    Sisters Getting Along Better, Part Ii

    As promised, a quick note to keep everyone in the loop. We've been seeing real progress in their playing together, eating together, etc. it's really made a huge difference in the house. They've gotten mostly back to themselves. Tonight, I came home around midnight, and two trips to get...

    Our Sisters Are Getting Along Better!

    First, a big thank you to everyone who offered advice and words of encouragement to this noobie when he came hoping for help. Thank you! I've lived with a cat all my life, although Aggie and Allie were the first time I ever had more than one at a time. I'm very happy to report that they're...

    Sisters Getting Along Better...but..

    Thanks for the encouragement, VERY much appreciated! This AM, they both came down for breakfast. At one point...they sniffed noses and Allie growled. Neither moved. It ended almost as quickly and they ate 5 feet apart.

    Sisters Getting Along Better...but..

    I do have a bit of an update. We had to go out last night, and upon returning home I went into the basement office. Both came down and wound up sleeping a few feet apart for the entire night. Today, Aggie ran up the basement steps and around the sofa...not knowing Allie was on the other side. I...

    Bladder Stones - Is There Any Raw Food That Will Help Prevent Or Dissolve Them?

    This may be of little help...but here goes. A number of years ago, our Allie developed bladder stones. In her case, they had plugged up her urethra. They had to push the stones back into the bladder, then remove them. I sincerely...sincerely....hope this does not become necessary with your...

    Sisters Getting Along Better...but..

    Thanks all! It is getting warm here, but we open the doors so they can look out the screen doors in the morning. The air is on now...but I'll drop it a few degrees. That pic is from a new months ago. We had two of the Feliway things going, and perhaps they played a role...but in a split level...

    Sisters Getting Along Better...but..

    I'm really starting to get discouraged. I feel like I need to be with them at all times to avoid issues. Came into the house after being outside with some chores. Allie was at the front screen door, so I visited with her...and found Aggie wandering around in the den. I got out the petting...
