    UV light and urine

    I bought the uv light from PetSmart. It works pretty well. I have tan /natural weird mixed colored tile on top of bad/ little lighting— and it’s impossible to pee and clear vomit sometimes. My oldest is in renal failure and drinks tons of water so her pee is usually concentrated and not always...

    this cat is very sensitive, to almost everything. nearly every vax , she gets nerve damage and gets drop leg. We end up having to go back and do rounds and rounds of laser. She always gets better. This cat literally jumps off the walls. She is the only girl I have ever seen that can do...

    Gosh that sounds like quite a road you’ve been down. I’m sorry all that happened. I’m writing all these notes down to bring up with the vet. Everything is helpful and it’s so comforting not to be just … in the dark reapproaching the vet. What is the chemo like for the cat? This was the very...

    They stopped drinking water about 2 years ago when I moved to this house. The water is very different here. Although they only get bottled water, they smell the dish and walk off . They don’t even go to the bowls anymore.

    Thick intestine walls - lymphoma / ibs - Food help

    Wow all of this blows my mind as in my vets eyes we seem to be all set as we are now. It has bothered me that we are not digging deeper, that I’m requesting to US the second cat and that I’m digging thru old records to connect dots. Not that I’m at all complaining.

    The needle thing are speaking of during the US. This procedure is easier on the cat than an actual biopsy? I’m wondering if they would do this on kitty #2 during her initial Us without knowing if there is cause? The US cost almost $400.
