My cat was gulping, while sitting on me earlier today. It had me so worried, I logged on here to see if anyone has ever asked about that. He's long haired, siamese mix, looks very much like the photo of the cat you have as your profile pic. He's been puking up hairballs so much as of late, I am...

“Sometimes we do things for free, just because we want to help the pet.” —Sandy Willis, DVM, DACVIM, an internal medicine consultant in Seattle, Washington. I have never heard of a vet keeping an animal for two weeks in their care without consulting you first, as they know you may not have the...

Before you start giving a cat psychiatric meds, I would ask for a scan of his brain. You may have to see a cat neurologist, as not all vets may know how to read brain scans or have any experience with it. Sudden onsets of aggression is a symptom of advanced stage brain cancer in cats. If you...

Molly finished her antibiotic eye drops on Saturday. Her eyes were looking a bit better, but the sides of her nose were still black and crusty. Her eyes are leaking clear discharge again and look awful. Neither the antibiotics or lysine helped her eye herpes. Her eyes been like this, since...

My 12-year old Ragdoll and Siamese mix makes the same noise and than coughs up a hairball 2 seconds later and sometimes undigested wet food mixed with the hairball. He did it last Monday and again today. When he was a kitten, we were feeding him dry kibble for adult cats (a hairball formula)...

Update: We tried opening her mouth based on the Youtube videos we watched, her jaw is too strong to get her mouth to open (beefy cat with large head) and she went crazy and is now mad at us. Tried putting the pill in tuna, soft food. Not sure what kind of cheese to roll it in? I do not think we...

We have the same issue with our cat. She's had the eye herpes and conjunctivitis issues since April. I attached a picture. The vet put her on isathal: see Isathal Eye Gel (Canada) for Animal Use - Drugs.com She's been on them, since Friday and not sure if it is really helping. We tried lysine...

Thanks for the advice. I just researched CBD oil and it is still unfortunately illegal here without a prescription. Hopefully, it will be legal once mj becomes legal.

Good point. Sorry OP. I am new to this thread and forum thing.

U.S. vets are so ahead of Canadian vets, it is annoying. I feel like I know more than the vet from just researching online. Our poor kitty has had a herpes breakout around her eyes (she was a feral cat) for three months now and all the vet will give us is antibiotic eye drops "isathal" for strep...

** We tried this. It is what we did with cranberry supplements and lysine powders. She refuses to eat that soft food now (Gravy and chicken bits) after tasting the kitty prozac. She sniffs it and walks away. Got her the pricy brand's "Go" duck pate, which she loves as it does not have any of...

That is what I explained to the vet. I did so much research on it because we have his sister and it is probably genetic. I showed that this is how vets have to do it in the U.S. The vet made it sound like we were horrible for thinking our cat would have a better life with three legs.

I think my sister had a bad vet, honestly. When I saw the cat, he had some tube in him that was draining puss from the lump. It was painful to watch how much pain he was in. The vets here in Canada get disciplined for a month for harming a pet, take some classes, pay a fine and are back to work...

I cannot imagine them putting it in their feet. The 12 year old would have had a heart attack. He hyperventilates when the vet touches him. She gives them treats to eat and injects them or makes us hold the other cat.

They are in Canada. All my cats got them there.
