My vet called and said Frontline and Advantage haven't worked in awhile now, the fleas have developed immunity. She recommended bravetco (topical) as being the best. Revolution plus as working fairly well, but not great. Natural does not work AT ALL. It doesn't freeze here, so we have...

The newest versions of Frontline and Advantage II have quit working. I am in TX and the fleas are back in force. I am considering a Seresto collar for the long haired cats and ordering Revolution (from the Australian site) for the short haired cats (5 total, 2 long, 3 short haired). Thoughts...

Since the cat is perfectly happy, do you all think I should pursue more testing, especially since it may not tells us anything?

Thanks. The vet did not do any bloodwork. The vet recommend trying trazadone, but I am not seeing an anxious cat, so I opted not too. Additonally, this cat is the hardest cat in the world to pill, so the act of giving him medication would likely traumatize him more than anything else going on .

Thanks for the reply. No, we have not seen him over grooming or licking more than normal. He does not appear stressed or anxious, he is our most confident cat. We have been trying to integrate a neighbor cat into our household and it isn't going well, but the hair loss began 9 months ago and...

My 7 yo cat has been losing hair for 9 months. I posted on this site a few weeks ago about him, he is currently recovering from Horner's syndrome (cause unknown). He's had two vet visits for his fur. At the first visit the veterinarian felt like his hair loss was alopecia, which was uncommon but...

Thank you!

Actually, he looks exactly like Horner Syndrome pictures. Thank you!

My 7 year old (one of 5 shelter cats of various ages) has had his third eyelid showing across half of his left eye since Tuesday of this week. He had a vet appointment for it yesterday since it wasn't getting better. The vet said no scratch was visible. He noted that the eye was not dialting...

Cat appears to be all better now. The vet has no idea what caused him to be so sick for 24 hours, but he seems to be back to his normal self. Thanks!

Today my cat began vomiting and passing clear mucus poop. A trip to the vet revealed a clear abdominal x-ray, no fever, no other signs of illness. Vet gave and antinausea shot and sent us home Science Diet Biome food. Kitty will not eat other than a few licks of the food (new or old). He has...

Yes! The vet recommended miralax

He continues to get around well and is eating normally. He has mastered the platforms/ramps we put up so he can get on the furniture. We are still keeping him contained to bedroom unless he is supervised to make sure those sutures are safe. The last hurdle for him is poop. :) He hasn't had a...

He is much, much better today. Cruising around the house, learning to climb on ramps, and most importantly, eating. He gets several supervised visits outside each day and loves rolling in the dirt and swatting at bugs.

I decided to try taking him outside. Prior to his injury, he was allowed outside time when weather permitted. He loved to roll in the dirt and I have a live catnip plant in the garden for him. I took him out for 15 minutes, he hopped around and ate grass. When I brought him back in, he licked...

He ate fancy feast chicken with gravy and taste of the wild dry, he liked both equally. I'll try the refrigerator pate trick, thanks!

The vet says to syringe mls of A/D 3x a day and at least 5mls of water per hour.

Baby food! I had forgotten about that. I have tried the turkey/chicken, fortiflora, yogurt and KMS. I'll try baby food first, then move onto some of the other things. Thank you. ETA: I have also purchased a kitty water fountain, hoping that will encourage him to drink.

My 2 year old cat injured his hind leg 8 days ago. We tried to save his leg through a variety of means, but ended up having to amputate yesterday. For the week that we tried to save Jet's leg, he got around well on three legs, but we struggled to get him to eat or drink. He lost over a pound...
