Just wanted to say - Zara is BEAUTIFUL!

I understand cost concern but is it worth the risk? I was disappointed to learn that the only animal hospital near me that offered the Purevax Rabies and Purevax RCP FeLV vaccines is Banfield (inside Pet smart). I'm surprised considering Banfield has a 2.5 star rating whereas the two I was...

I'm curious to know if non-adjuvanted rabies and FeLV vaccines are now the norm or do you have to ask the vet clinic if they use them? It's been a while since I've had a baby kitten. I read online that "The risk of vaccine site sarcoma is almost completely eliminated by the use of non-adjuvanted...

Hi. I tried the CBD capsules for cats from Canna-Pet.com which come in 2 strengths: Canna-Pet Advanced (170mg per capsule) and Canna-Pet Advanced Max (510ng per capsule). Canna-Pet said they didn't normally recommend the oil for cats because they don't like the taste. I bought the 10-capsule...

My friend uses something called Vetericyn Plus Hydro Gel. On the bottle it says "Non-irritating and non-sensitizing; Safe if licked or ingested; Works on all animal skin types." I believe you can get this at Petsmart. It's a little pricey, though. I also dab a little iodine on the wound before...

Wow... this thread is great and made me cry. I am so happy Bebe is home rcovering and happy for you, too! I struggled with whether I would make the decision to have Mike's right hind leg amputated when the time came. If he was younger I wouldn't think twice because it was necessary. But he was...

Just one more thing I want to add is that just as unexpected things happen to pets, it happens to people, too. When I got Taz and later Mike I was financially stable. Not rich but I could afford the basic vet bills. I lost my job in 2013 as and things job St spiraled from there. I think we have...

I asked the same question myself to a friend of mine who fosters cats and has had to clean and wrap many wounds, abscessed tumors, etc. Her opinion was "Absolutely not." Her thought is that the bubbles ng sensation does not feel good but rather it makes them and ant to itch. CNN has a pistol on...

Is anyone out there familiar with non-adjuvanted vaccines? It was suggested that I get these for any new cat I adopt. I've been told that most cat hospitals offer these vaccines. Susana (602ll) fo or 850420

Hi and thank you for your response. I'm not sure what country you are in or if it matters to my question but do have any recommendations for pet insurance? I want to make sure the next kitten I adopted does not suffer the way Mike did.

I'm 51 years old and have had cats for most of my life. Looking back I realize that until 2012, I've never actually been with any of my cats to the end of their life. My cat Ripple died in 2012 of a stroke at the age of 23. I put her to sleep when the vet said she would not recover. After she...

Thank you for the info. I have trued a lot of them. The problem us you have to have to have a diagnosis or treatment plan from a vet first and that's what I'm trying to raise money for. It's good information for any future cats (or dogs) I might have. Right now I'm so worried about Mike I can't...

I don't know if this is appropriate bur I am desperate. My cat Mike has a large, ulcerated abscess on his hind leg that needs to be treated. I have not been able to take him to the vet because I am applying to disability and cannot work. Today is the first day he has stopped eating. I believe...

It's been a while since I've been on this site. The tumor on the tail (photo attached) hardened and eventually fell off. Mike tends to sleep all tucked in his bed and does not like to be picked up. I noticed he was limping , though, and was horrified to see a large tumor that had ruptured and...

I did try to get an earlier appt but I guess because it's Phoenix's one low-cost clinic, they couldn't take him early. I had to wait 3 weeks for the appt Mike has this Thursday and he was even on the cancelation list. But I will call them again tomorrow. Thank you.

I finally have the money to take my cat Mikey to the vet and find out if he has vaccine associated sarcoma. I raised the funds for the cost if his biopsy and possible-rats and blood work. I did this through GoFundMe and the generosity of two people on particular. Mike's appointment is on...

Thank you.

My cat was diagnosed with beginning stage renal failure when she was 15. I originally took her to the vet because she was losing a noticeable amount of weight. The vet put her on a low protein duet and she continued to live a happy life until the age of 23!
