Moose has been on liquid compounded doxycycline for stubborn but mild chlamydia related conjunctivitis for 12 days now and he has just over two weeks left (28 day course). I was getting away with mixing it in with a bit of Churu type treat and wet food, and giving him his proper dinner right...

I have posted about my sweet Orange before. He was "diagnosed" back in March of 2023 with possible IBD or possible SCL. The ultrasound doctor (forgive my lack of correct medical terminology) said it was "consistent with IBD" but that we couldn't rule out SCL without a biopsy. We chose not to do...

After having raised other cats over years and having had good relationships with, I adopted a cat from a shelter a few months back, whom I am finding difficult to deal with. I realize she must have not been socialized and may have been mistreated in her first year of life and should have been a...

Hi there, First of all, I feel like I always come back here when I am struggling with one of my kitties and people are so nice and thoughtful here that I just want to say thank you in advance. We adopted Lugosi in July of 2022 knowing he had some behavioral issues. He would overgroom himself...

...a result! She is now sleeping after contentedly watching birds on Cat TV. I am jumping the gun,I know, but researching on the internet points to FHS. Anyone have this FHS in their cat and what helps other than Gabapentin(which is horrible)? Does Feliway plug in help? Am I being overly concerned?

Hi everyone I'm fairly certain that Humphrey has FHS. When I first got him, I just dismissed it as cat zoomies. But as i went down the google hole, I discovered what FHS is and his symptoms match exactly. It's all about that rippling back, the bolting, the meowing and the licking of the back...

My cat is acting very strange and it’s worrying me - i do have a vet appointment but it’s not until Monday. So over the last few weeks he has increasingly been abruptly darting off scared and shaking his head a lot at times when we are playing or if he jumps down from something. And this is not...

I am looking to see if anyone else has experienced this with their cats. Mine is a 4 year old male, and he began this self mutilation about 8 months ago. He started scratching his face and neck, causing open areas roughly quarter size. I took him in, and he had the whole gammat of test, swabs...

...is he is missing 9 teeth which were removed due to periodontal disease. I have done a lot of research and it seems to have all the symptoms of FHS. He was examined by his veterinarian who said he was otherwise healthy. He did not confirm his behavior as FHS nor deny it. He said to keep him on...

My 6yo neutered male cat is started to hide under bed 25 days ago. We have 2 cats and they were together for since they were 4-5 weeks old. Not only other cat, he is acting stranger around us too. i took him to the vet to rule out any other health issue. Blood work,xrays, neurological exams and...

While my cat (~1.5 year old male) has not yet received an official diagnosis, he seems to be showing the signs of having FSH. He has periods of frantic activity where he will see his own tail and panic, dashing around the room each time he catches sight of it. Sometimes he will bites it a little...

Hi all, Hopefully this is in the right place: Our cat, who moved in with us after previously living with our neighbours has a fairly long-running over-grooming problem that we've been trying to get to the bottom off. Before we took over full care of him, it had become excessive. He was...

Hi gang My humphrey has been displaying some really classic symptoms of allergies. The main one is really just itching and scratching and FHS symptoms ( i think he has this but thats another story ). He however has been lucky enough to be really regular with his stools which are firm, not...

...but then he'll either bolt out of the room as if somethings spooked him (nothing happens to do this, its dead silent) To me it sounds like an FHS episode, im thinking about closing the door on him for bedtime going forward, but it is so sad for me to do this coz i love when he comes in for...

...cat since they can’t bring him with, and he took a real liking to us. We have two cats already but we agreed. They dropped the bomb that he has FHS, It is medically treated and he does just fine according to them. From the couple of times we’ve been over he is so so cuddly and loves people...

Hiya, I seek some reassurance/advice as my beautiful 6 month old kitten is slowly driving me insane. He basically will not be left to his own devices ever. At least not when we are at home. If he's not asleep or eating he will seek stimulation literally all the time. I am playing with him...

I'm not sure how to describe my kitten's facial tic other than a glitch. She does this whenever she is curious, excited, purring, or stressed. So basically, unless she is just chilling, her face is glitching. Phoenix was 10 days old when the Lahaina Fires broke out and was in the burn zone...

Hello all. I've been feeding Ritz raw for about 13 years; she is now 15. Rotation of pork, poultry (chicken and turkey) and beef.. She periodically overgrooms, about every six months. Medication clears it up. But she has been overgrooming since March, when I started fostering four kittens...

My 1 year old cat regularly has strange episodes where she’s just sitting there and suddenly jumps and runs away to a corner with her tail down, as if something scared her. As she runs away, she’s shaking her head and licking her lips like she does when she’s trying to get a hair out of her...

I've had my 6 year old for about 5 years now. Just in early November, I took in a street cat who is very friendly (with me). I've done the introduction so that now I can let the new cat upstairs with the residential cat with no fighting. However, the new cat will hiss and swat at the...
