I really, really appreciate this! My animals are so important to me and this gives me a lot of hope. My cats are all rescues and have already overcome a lot, so I just hope I can figure out how to help him. I am starting the probiotics today and will give that a week (with increased wet food)...

Thank you! I'll give miralax a go. I am starting him on fortiflora powder, so I hope that will help. He's also been on mostly dry food and I am increasing his wet food asap I appreciate your reply. It can be a very helpless feeling when the medical professionals dismiss him because he gets so...

I am really worried, but the vet doesn't seem worried. My male cat is 9 years old and has been having persistent bloody stool for over a year, but doesn't seem to have hard stool. He is spending a lot of time on the litterbox and making a lot of trips per day. More than our other 3 cats...

I know this is a while ago, but in case people are still looking for alternatives... I love Tomlyns because my cats do, but after dealing with lots of fosters with URIs, it was way too expensive. I mix Tomlyns with human-grade l-lysine (my vet verified it was fine) about 1:10 ratio since the...

I did read a bunch of webpages about that. I already contacted my vet, so we will see!

@catsknowme just sent them a detailed email with images. Thanks for the suggestion.

That's a great idea! I hope they'll be understanding since we just saw them and with the coronavirus it is curbside drop-off and he get stressed being examined without me there. I will send her a picture tomorrow.

My three year old cat was just at the vet last week for a bump on his neck, and now he has a super swollen paw pad. My cats have never had this, so I am not sure if I can just keep an eye on it or if he needs another vet appointment. Vets in my area are around $60 per appointment, so taking him...

On the plus side, the vet said Little Gray was in absolute perfect health and said he was "glowing" he was so perfect!

Yay! It isn't anything awful! When I got LG, he was a feral foster given me to tame, so everything was done by a low-income vet who volunteered one day a week to microchip, neuter, and spay. I guess because of this, they use poor quality microchips that in rare cases can move and sometimes be...

@neely, I just put it in the title. He is only three years old. For a week 4 weeks ago, he had runny eyes and was sneezing a ton. I worked with a lot of cats with respiratory infections when I volunteered at an animal rescue, so I just kept an eye on him and he seems mostly better, but I'm...

Hi! First off, I'd love to take my cat to the vet, but with the coronavirus stay-at-home order, they are overrun (they have to limit appointments and schedule carefully). Basically, I need to know if I can safely wait another month to see his vet, or if it is serious and I need to schedule an...

Haha thanks everyone! I forgot about the foil; that worked at my old place! He is pretty spoiled: he shares 2 cat trees (one is over 6 ft tall) in the kitchen-living room (they are one big space), a water fountain, a cat window perch, AND 6 windows with big ledges. I have a fully fenced...

For the first time, my time-out cage isn't working! I have used a time-out cage for years to train my cats and rabbits. My cat Loki, has generally been good about staying off the counter/table/chewing cords and other bad habits (3.5 yr). I have a small kennel with a cat bed in it and a timer on...

Thanks for trying anyways!

The three cats were all from different households, so I don't think so? Also, it isn't on the part of the foot that makes contact with the ground and is in the same spot for all cats. Weird. I am glad that others have had similar issues and their kitties are fine!

Hey guys! I have another question brought on by foster kittens. We had a ringworm epidemic, which was awful, but the cats have recovered and have been cleared by the vet after being in a quarantine area. One of the 9 mo kittens there came to my house as a foster and I noticed she had identical...

I have pilled him, I am just worried about his emotional health since he was a feral. His pills are powder (they come in a gel cap, but I have to open it to give him a third, so I have put it in the food so far. He'll eat it, but he has to be separated from the others while he does so they don't...

They have wire tops for the x-pens (you can get them on Amazon) that are sturdy enough a cat can sit on it if they really want. I use it for my rabbits sometimes if I take them outside. If you want to gradually give her more room as she recovers, you may want to consider attaching an x-pen to...

My cats love the Tomlyn immune support powder and Forti-Flora, but they are really picky (and clever) about detecting medicine in their food. I would like to buy the human grade L-lysine powder because it is so much cheaper and I have one pet on a bitter medicine he hates, so I am wondering what...
