I totally agree- he actually was originally an indoor only cat once we rescued him and his brothers however we have an area in the back of our house that we need to completely replace the floors. There’s a few small holes that the cats discovered and would escape from. We covered them once we...
Thank you! He’s actually on L-Lysine though not continuously. We give it when the flare ups start.
That’s what I was worried about that it might have something in it as a filler that wouldn’t be good for cats systems. I know that most meds prescribed to cats are prescribed off-label and are...
Thank you SO much!!! That’s a great idea to offer the baby meat food! I had a cat that was put on that twice a day with prescription dry food and she LOVED the baby meat food more than anything! I’ll definitely try that.
I actually haven’t used any steam yet today. I’m sure it would help...
Thank you! My little guy, Axl, needs this so bad. I’m broke until the 1st and he’s so miserable right now. I’ve already spent all that I had on 3 different vet visits over the past 8 weeks on him. He was JUST getting better and then ANOTHER URI seems to have hit him. I’m desperate to try this...
My 8 yr old, short haired, neutered male kitty, Axl, has been having so many different health issues the past 2 months. Then yesterday he went out in the rain and I couldn’t find him to bring him inside. By the time he came in, he was having massive sneezing fits all evening. Today, no sneezing...
So we took him to the vet yesterday. A new vet that we had never seen before. Right away, without doing any tests, the vet (after listening to him using the stethoscope and feeling him, looking in his mouth, taking his temp, etc) said nothing was stuck (hairball) but that he was having an...
Thank you! Ugh I’m sick with worry. He’s such a sweet boy. Unfortunately I have nothing for him for his asthma. He should be on something. I told his vet about it last time we were there but he was seeing him for 2 things and had to keep him overnight for surgery. When I returned to pick him up...
My 7 yr old grey short haired male tabby is gagging since yesterday morning. It’s getting worse and worse it seems. He just keeps gagging as if he’s going to throw up a hairball but only one time did anything even come out and it was foam. He’s also making these weird coughing sounds that are...
Thank you for those links! That’s a huge help!
I haven’t noticed him gag for maybe the last hour now. He DID still keep gagging even after he threw up those 2 times but he hasn’t gagged in awhile. I’m hoping whatever it was is settled down or fixed or something. I’ll let you all know if he...
We don’t have any indoor plants but there are a lot of outdoor plants around our yard. Nothing we planted, just random plants that pop up. We live in the country in the Deep South and with it being Spring all sorts of random weeds and shrubbery are popping up overnight. He’s lived here his...
When he threw up it was white foam. He ended up throwing up a second time and it was a mixture of white foam and clear liquid. Both times were relatively small amounts.
Unfortunately they don’t. They just say to go to the closest emergency vet. It’s so frustrating. I wish they had an on call vet so I talk to them about this. My husband thinks it’s allergies because it started with some crazy sneezing this morning. But I’m so worried he might have something...
My 8 year old neutered male cat, Axl, that we rescued when he was an abandoned kitten has something wrong. Early this morning he sneezed several times in a row and then he ran off to another room. Several hours later I heard the loudest, most odd coughing/gagging sound. I actually thought it was...
Sorry I accidentally somehow sent the last message before I was done. So what I was saying was the lady who runs the animal rescue that is helping to cover the cost of his care was told to actually try a different and more stronger antibiotic but when she went to grab it they were out-so the...
I would double check any medications I was suggested against recommended vet guideline dosages and do a TON of research before giving him anything. As far as how I know what it is, when the vet appointment was made and I described what’s going on, the vet that we will be seeing told the lady at...
