I kind of wonder the same thing. I've been told not to bring him in unless something is wrong due to them not being able to handle him. So it's hard to tell if they'll just send us both away or not.

I have a long-haired Ragdoll. He's overweight and isn't able to clean his own rear himself (no diet I try has been working for him given he has to eat a very special type of food for his joints and kidneys). Lately his backside smells like urine constantly, and no amount of cleaning I do makes...

Just wanted to give everyone an update. I did end up having to take Sam to the vet, and yes, it ended up being an anal gland issue. Apparently I had accidentally expressed one while I was trying to clean him up a bit. So the tech expressed the other. He was not happy about it, but he was feeling...

Yes, it is currently maxed out, and the company won't extend my limit.

Thank you for the info! He's not scooting around, and he doesn't appear to be in any kind of pain, which is saying something because he just had surgery for Cauda Equina back in September, and he was constantly in pain and didn't want anyone to touch around anywhere back there. With him being...

It sounds terrible, but I'm trying my best not take him to the vet. Over the last few months I've spent thousands at the vet with his surgery and then follow-up kidney issues. I'm still indebt to the vet, currently, and honestly can't afford to go at the moment. The place I go to charges a lot...

My cat is overweight and old, not to mention too ornery for the vet to groom him. So often times I'm the one cleaning Sam's backend. Not that big a deal, but over the past few days, I've noticed a smell fouler than poop back there, and then noticed a 'wet' imprint on the floor that smelled...

I just found this article, and almost the entire list sounds like Sam. https://southwestvetaustin.com/2019/05/17/5-sneaky-signs-your-pet-may-have-allergies-and-how-you-can-help/ I also read that itchy skin can cause cats to twitch. I mean, I'm not a vet, but this is starting to sound like a...

Yes, he did x-rays and even gave me a copy of them. He called me a little earlier and said that it sounded like a neurological problem, but then started leaning back toward a possible allergy to his new flea medicine. However, the timing doesn't quite fit. Sam started having the twitching issue...

Kittens are kind of notorious for getting URIs. I know both of my babies, Grimm and Si, had one not long after I adopted them. It's an easy fix at the vet's office, but the couching concerns me. I would definitely take them to the vet soon.

My 15-year-old baby, Sam, just came back from the vet. He was having his teeth checked because he whines when he eats, and because his front paws looked as though they were trying to 'give out' when he stood or sat. The exam came back that Sam's teeth were ultimately good, and he only had one...

Hey Dalice, My 15-year-old Ragdoll just had his teeth cleaned Monday as well, no extractions. Sam also ate quite a lot when he got back home, and that is something he always does when he gets back from the vet. Mostly because cats don't feel safe in a place they are unused to and won't eat...

@Caspers Human @Morpheus1967 Thank you both for your responses. I appreciate them greatly. I think I will access Sam when I get back home and then decided if today or tomorrow would be best. I feel like today is the day, and if that is the case, I'll be sure to set up camp in the central part...

Well, when you put it like that, it is only 9 hours away here as well. XD

He is in the beginning stages of it, unfortunately. The vet says we are nowhere near failure though, thank goodness.
