...instead of discouraging you from trying something that is near impossible... they ask how they can help - and find ways to help. How do you know you have some really good friends? Tell us a story. --- There is a running joke since Mia passed that I was going to find a time machine and...

I need ideas. I'm calling the vet in the morning. My Mia just died of cancer on July 19th - she suddenly turned for the worse.I chalked up all the behavior at first to grieving - but this is not grieving. My Charlie that same week (2 days before she left us) started to get sick and constipated...

Poor Charlie has had some issues again lately. Always something new and frightening. The reason for the on/in is the Vet said on but the ultrasound report says in. What I've been able to research so far shows a difference between the two. While the report itself says "in" when I look at the...

So poor little one has a big lump on the back of her thigh. She's an overweight kitty and I found it as she had stopped going up her tree after her last vet visit. I thought it might be her not feeling well from the anti-biotics from the bad UTI she had but decided to massage her legs gently and...

So late night Dec 23rd I noticed something odd- checked WL's teeth close and welp her front Caine was missing. I felt / feel awful. How could I not have noticed! In my defense a little she had her annual visit mid Oct 2021 and all was well - teeth included. Christmas eve I managed to get some...

I admit at this point I'm exhausted, frustrated and feel like I'm totally failing these kitties. Between Charlie, Wl, Mia and BH - I can't catch a break. Poor BH finally got past the Plasma Cell Pododermatitis, only to get TR and end up at a dentist specialist in Jan / Feb and just when I...

Hi All! So for years I've been reading about cooked diets and raw feeding. To be honest it does scare me. Raw for the obvious and cooked because I'm terrified I will do it wrong and they won't get what they need and I'll kill them. One of the main reasons to try this is that I have one cat that...

Okay so silly me failed. Braveheart s going for Dental Surgery on Monday. (So kinda in a rush now.) Why I failed to think of the obvious, that she'll have to wear a cone of shame for two weeks, is beyond me - but I did. When she had her biopsy on her foot she did okay with the cone for nearly...

Poor Braveheart just came back from her annual Visit. We got the all clear (but of course keep watch) on her plasma Cell pododermatitis (YAY!) but bad new about teeth (BOO!). I have an appointment to have, at least 3 teeth, maybe more, removed. One is an upper canine. The earliest we can Do it...

So White Label (W.L) went for her Annual check up yesterday and it came back with a little bit of an alarm. Possible Stage 2 Kidney issues. I say possible because as the Doctor explained it to me the tests are flawed when it comes to staging. So while there are Kidney issues, it may not be stage...

I'm looking for recommendations for a scale that is reasonably priced and accurate to keep track of weight loss for Mia. Anyone have one they trust and like that they would recommend?

Welp I have no idea what's up with this kitty. She should be 10 -12 pounds at the very most. She's now 17.5. She gained over 1.5 pounds of that in 8 months. She's been steady gaining since she was brought in 2 years ago however... she had started to gain weight when she was a feral living...

Out of everything I've gone through the past nearly two years now with cats illness and emergencies, one of the harder things to do was trying to get everyone to get along. (And it's still a work in progress.) I have a very territorial male that is always making life interesting lol Mia was one...

So the vacuum died today. I have a back up - but she doesn't work very well but will at least tide me over. I'm overwhelmed by the options. I have 4 cats. I have a stone driveway. I live with a wetland behind me. I'm still renovating (just finished a major kitchen one) and will be for the next...

Okay need a little input from your wonderful kitty cat chefs! One of our members is beginning to cook for her kitty due to some allergies she is suffering from. During our conversation today she talked about the poop. It's pale and small. It being pale and small concerned me because of what I...

Okay, so I have three siblings sisters. One of them has pillow foot (plasma cell pododermatitis). All three of them have near-perfect bloodwork and urinalysis. All three have had full work-ups and are very healthy. Body scores are great too. (Well one is not perfect as she's quite fat and I'm...

Hi All! (and lovely Mods and Anne - if you feel this is in the wrong place I won't be hurt by it being moved to another area.) XO I know this is a rather weird thing to be posting here, but what I've learned from being here is that we are all pretty resourceful people - and in life - you never...

Short version: Looking for research (most important), experiences, opinions on this. The reason is below. A few days ago I began doing research a few days ago after one of my kitties has come back with Plasma Cell Pododermatitis aka pillow foot. Everything I am reading states it's an immune...

So Braveheart has had one swollen paw for a little while now. It never seemed to bother her. She jumps, runs - no issues. I tried colloidal silver and soaking her paw in apple cider and water. It seemed to help a bit but never completely and it always came back. I made an appointment a few...

I've not seen this anywhere else on the forum so I wanted to post this for anyone else who might need it. I recently ran into a problem where one of the cats was a bit constipated. I felt the bellies etc and they all seemed fine. It was a frustrating puzzle. One of the kitties went for their...
