    Opinions On Sick Cat (bladder & Intestinal Issues)

    Unfortunately Tuck didn't make it. :( I brought him back to the vet yesterday as his appetite decreased, he seemed weak, and he suddenly went from requiring bladder expression to complete incontinence. They were setting him up for an ultrasound when he passed. My vet has offered to do an...

    Opinions On Sick Cat (bladder & Intestinal Issues)

    I've read about cosquin - definitely considering it! He's got so many issues right now if I can at least get rid of any arthritis pain at least that's one less thing to worry about. I did notice a difference with the pred. He seemed a little more active and definitely had a better appetite...

    Opinions On Sick Cat (bladder & Intestinal Issues)

    Just thought I'd give an update on my boy. He's been home for a couple of days now. I'm gradually getting the hang of the bladder expression. I'm struggling to fully empty the bladder but I'm doing better each time so I have faith that I'll become an expert soon enough! When I went to pick...

    Opinions On Sick Cat (bladder & Intestinal Issues)

    Thank you all so so much for your responses!! This is really making me feel more at ease. @FeebysOwner I think the vet was referring to nerve damage from the old fracture, but maybe I'll have to clarify. I had no idea that there were neurological issues associated with FIV! No tests have been...

    Introducing Two Ferals, Possibly From The Same Colony

    Hmm, taking him out of the carrier could work. Would it be too stressful for him to no longer have a hiding place? I definitely wouldn't mind being able to touch him. Somebody from the rescue had him loose in their bathroom during the week leading up to his neuter surgery and she said he...

    Introducing Two Ferals, Possibly From The Same Colony

    I haven't been able to witness it. I know he comes out of the carrier when we're not in the room, and Tuck's food and water dishes are right in front of the crate, so he's eating and drinking a few feet away from Archer. I've never heard any interactions between them though! Both of them are...

    Introducing Two Ferals, Possibly From The Same Colony

    Carrier is open within the crate. The crate is pretty large. It easily fits his litter, food, water, the carrier with extra room to move around.

    Introducing Two Ferals, Possibly From The Same Colony

    Hi everyone, Hoping someone else here has experience with my situation. Sorry in advance for the novel... One of my two resident indoor cats went missing last month. Since then I've been setting a trap in front of my house hoping to catch him. Instead, I'm inadvertently trapping neighbourhood...
