Hello guys! I have four cats. They have never been vaccinated even though they are allowed outdoors. Now I want to vaccinate all of them but I have serious concerns about FISS development. I know about non-adjuvanted vaccines but in Ukraine we don’t have any non-adjuvanted rabies vaccines. So...

So poor little one has a big lump on the back of her thigh. She's an overweight kitty and I found it as she had stopped going up her tree after her last vet visit.

...won’t be in until next week, but my vet discussed 2 possible explanations: a lipoma, which is her most likely guess, or feline injection site sarcomas. She did make a point to say she always gives vaccines by the hind legs as this apparently limits the chances of a Feline injection site...

Hello, My cat is scheduled to have a lump of inflamatory cells, cause by a vaccine, removed in a few days. Fine needle aspiration and cytology don't show any cancer cells, just inflamatory cells. I can't seem to find any information about similar situations where cancer isn't present but...

I am the owner of a 5-year-old cat that my family adopted when she was a kitten...The one and only time she's been to a vet was when we found her, where my mother has told me she had all the necessary procedures done. Since she's started to gravitate towards me over the years, and I'm...

Hello dear friends, I am so sorry to be back here ("Difficult ethical question on euthanasia..." was my former thread about my precious Puma who passed March 6). Unbelievably Luna, my other cat, had a lump a 2-3 months ago that turned out by pathology report received today to be malignant...

Hi all! I took my eldest baby (1 year 3 months) in for her yearly vaccines today. I did research to find a government certified vet, which is needed to take the cats out of China. (I didn't realize that the first time around, I just assumed the vet wouldn't be allowed to operate if they weren't...

Hello everyone! So I adopted Belle about 1 year ago. In short, her vaccination history is completely unknown as well as her age. The vet estimates she is 2-3 years old. She definitely came from a shelter so I assume she had all of her core vaccines at some point before I adopted her. Today she...

I know vaccines are important but I recently saw a YouTube video talking about the side effects of vaccinating annually. I'm really confused on this subject, and I have never heard about this before.I was hoping someone can provide some guidance? Does that mean I don't need to take my cat to the...

My Ragdoll kitten is 14 weeks already. The breeder said he initially just had "one" dewormer when he was a few weeks old. What are the "absolutely" necessary vaccinations he needs? He is ONLY an indoor cat. No access to the outsides in my apartment. I heard it's a money making business, vets...
