Hello everyone!! Thank you all so much for keeping Molly and Sturdy in your thoughts. So, the vet we took her to examined her and did bloodwork, which came back mostly good. The only thing that was off was one liver function, and that was only a little and apparently wouldn't have caused her...

The closest emergency vet is two hours away -- I live in a small, rural community. The only one who drives in my family is my grandma, who is in her 70s and undergoing radiation for severe cancer, so she is physically unable to drive that long. The backup vet couldn't see her, the only other...

I called 9 different vets in the area and no one will see Molly. Our vet is on vacation...I have an appointment for Monday, but I don't know if she'll make it that long. Any advice to get her through the weekend? Also, here is a picture of my baby when she wasn't feeling sick:

Thank you both!! Right now, she can't seem to keep down water, and when I gave her her pill this morning and tonight I noticed that the back of her tongue looks gray...I googled that and found articles saying it can be indicative of a heart problem. I'm really, really scared for her right...

Hello, I came here years ago when my family's cat, Molly, had started thyroid medicine and was sick. Now, she is very sick again, and not acting like herself. A few months ago she was acting strange, and the vet upped her thyroid medicine. She seemed to be doing much better!! But lately she...

Hello everyone!! Sorry for not updating sooner -- busy week! Molly is doing so much better! The vet said she didn't need to come in Monday since she was eating and keeping everything down. After she finished the deli turkey, I gave her the baby food, and when those jars were gone, I started...

Of course veterinarians must make a living. However, there will always be a handful of those more interested in making money than caring for animals. And when they own a practice and don't care for animals, they start pushing unnecessary products and procedures, without care for the animal's...

I live in New York, and that sounds about right. Any time bloodwork is involved I immediately expect it to be over $100. Luckily my current vet is VERY reasonable and lets us pay it off slowly. She never turns anyone away. I used to go to a much more "fancy" vet years ago, and they wouldn't see...

Hello everyone! Molly kept everything down during the night, and through today! She hasn't been interested in the kitten milk since that first time, but is ravenous for the deli turkey and starts pawing at me when I sit down to feed her. I have to tear it up real small and give it to her...

I agree with Lindzee2018. My vet recommended the Seresto collar for my animals, and they work wonders. They don't smell, have attachable reflectors, AND save you a lot of money!

We are having similar kitty issues, though yours have been going on much longer. I pray that something works out. My vet said how she only met one cat that actually enjoyed that thyroid food, lol. You and your kitty are in my thoughts!!

Oh no! I was worried it might be the medicine. I'm really hoping it's a fluke, but either way, she will see the vet on Monday. (Our vet is an absolute angel...she never turns anyone away and lets my family do payment plans.) Hopefully this is a fluke. If not, I'll ask about a gel, or...

ej x: thank you for the suggestions! Update: I went out and got a little of everything that you all suggested (that I didn't already have). When I got back I gave her the vomit preventative, then kitten milk. I estimate that she drank almost a quarter cup, then took a nap. Molly kept it down...

Thank you guys so much so far! I'm going to get as many of these suggestions as I can.

Hello! My cat Molly is 12 going on 13. She is a long haired rescue, and my family has had her since she was a kitten. She is indoor outdoor, though never goes far from the deck. Recently she lost a lot of weight and was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid in early January. We have been...
