    Please help me decide what to do next

    I'm not new here and have posted in the past about my cat's breathing issues. It's never ending at this point as we have been to many different vets and tried different treatments.

    Almond I miss her so much.

    ...lasted 2 weeks and symptoms returned. We changed her to a daily steroid, despite the negative X-rays her vet was highly suspicious of a nasal mass.

    Lump Biopsied & I Need to Be Talked Off the Proverbial Ledge

    I took my 9-year-old cat Coco yesterday morning to the vet to have a cyst on his head drained/removed. However, it turned out not to be a cyst but a mass. They took a section of it to biopsy and culture, and I’ll know the results by the end of next week. I am so scared for him and have been...

    I am currently struggling with concerns about my 11 year old female cat, Sierra. She was always a little skittish and old biddy acting, but went into a funk when her litter mate died of renal cancer at 9 and a half years old. She has seen the vet numerous times for "eye" infections and has...
