This might be a dumb question, but I've only had experience with insulin needles before (BD ultra fine ii). I'm now using a different syringe (terumo) for cartrophen injections on a new cat, and I'm wondering why my vet gave me 3 plungers and ~10 needles? They come separate, but both parts are...

My new kitten (well.. she’s 11) started them a few weeks ago, and now her poops are rock solid and have a weird tan colouring on the outside. When I squish them (lol) they’re a normal dark brown inside. I’m worried because she’s had issues with constipation for the last year at the shelter, and...

One of my cats is very specific about her litter. Texture, smell, height, placement, all has to be the way she likes it. Also, cleanliness. I scoop once in the morning and once in the evening. She doesnt want to step in a dirty box, and I’m always surprised at how dirty some peoples litter boxes...

For those who do needle injections at home, do you have tips on how to get your cat to sit still? I give injections to both cats for different illnesses. One cat is totally chill as long as he has food waiting in front of him. My other cat is totally not chill at all and I can’t get her to sit...

We are starting on fortekor tomorrow. Does anyone have experience with it?

I had a cat once who injured his tail somehow before I adopted him. Eventually about two inches of it just died and fell off under the kitchen table. He always had a stiff back, and I assumed it was because of the tail injury.

Her BUN is 14.2, SDMA is 17^1, and MCH is 16.8 The vet then wanted a urine sample so we gave him that, and he just called back with the results saying she’s losing protein in her urine. I’m wondering if anyone else has gone through this and can explain what it all means to me better? I’m going...

She is constipated, when she does poop they are very long because it’s been building up for three days. The shelter was hoping it would get better once she was in a home, but it’s stayed the same. The reason the shelter has her on special diets, laxaday, and cisapride is because she’s not...

I’ve posted this before, but I thought maybe fresh eyes could offer new advice. Cola is 10-11 year old girl who I have had for less than 2 months. She’s on cartrophen once a month for arthritis, which doesn’t seem to slow her down much yet. She’s on 2.5mg of cisapride daily, as well as 1/8th...

My cat also has ringworm, and my advice would be to continue the cleaning kitty weeks after it goes away! We thought we got rid of it, and then a few weeks later it came back in the exact same spot.

Update! Herbert had his teeth cleaned yesterday! He went in at 9:30am and came out at 3:30pm. He was so funny still from the anaesthetic, all he wanted to do was have his chin scratched and purr (he was so floppy). It ended up costing about $700 which I’m grateful for, it could have been a lot...

Prince is adorable! :cloud9:

Thank you so much! May I follow you on this site so I remember you, if you need any help one day?

Speaking from personal experience, call vets and shelters in your city.. everywhere in your city! My sisters cat got lost for a month once and we finally found him 16km away!!! No idea why or how he got that far.

Hey guys! I'm a frequent lurker of this site since April, when Herbert got sick. So glad it exists! I've learned so much. Herbert has always been a chill cat that came back with a clean bill of health at every vet visit. He was very overweight when I adopted him, but he managed to lose a lot...
