I hope your Magnus's case doesn't get any worse. We had the consult with the orthopaedic this morning. She wasn't 100% if it was the patella vs a torn ACL but she'll start the surgery prepared for either/both and so hopefully we'll get our girl some relief. Harper will have surgery next...

Well a few days after her incident, we took Harper to a specialty vet to see a neurologist. They found no problems neurologically, but noted she had a luxating patella where her knee would dislocate and they said that might explain her episode. Fast forward a few weeks and I found her under...

Our 5-year old Harper has had 2 incidents in the last couple of days. Thursday night I saw her walking along and all of a sudden she yelped in pain and her back end collapsed and then she just got back up and kept on walking. She seemed 100% fine after that. Then Friday night the same thing...

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions all. Today I took her to the vet. The vet wasn't overly concerned, gave us some antibiotic cream w/steroids and said to come back if it's not cleared up in a while. Cheers, Roger

We've noticed a blotch on our youngest cat's neck and we're wondering what it is. If there's reason for concern we'll shoot her straight to the vet, but with the current COVID situation in TX we're trying to keep a low profile. We'd seen splotches on her neck before but this seems to have been...

Hi Surya, I was hoping to get more experience with this thing closer to home before I send it 'out in the wild'. Houston is relatively close and I get down there every couple of months. If your need is urgent that I don't think I could help you out, but I could probably put together a second...

Hello, A while ago I was trying to trap a litter of feral kittens and when looking into how to catch them all at once, the best that I could find online was to rig a humane trap to close when you pull a string, and then wait for the kittens to go inside. I got them, but it took hours of...

I will certainly, at the very least, trap him and take him for TNR (as we did for Momma Kitty and Baby Kitty).  One other option would be to trap him and take him to Animal Control.   I feel like if we go with the former, we'll end up in the same position as we're in now (he'll be fixed which...

Hey there, Last year we had a pregnant feral show up on our step and we started feeding her  Out of her 4 kittens, I was able to trap 3 of them and socialize/adopt them out.  The 4th was too sly for the trap when she was tiny, but eventually I was able to trap her and her mother and we got them...
