Hello everyone, I got a job abroad and need to move with my cat. We will be flying (takes around 50 min) and the EU law is that my cat needs a passport and a rabies vaccine to enter the country. The problem is that my cat is sick and on Pred. He just had a major flare up and although his blood...

I just don't know what to do anymore and it feels like having my cat is the biggest curse in my life. I dread waking up in the morning to all this vomit. Tried so much to try and at least minimize the frequency and all it has done is make it worse. Right now he pukes every single day and if it's...

Musiaka suddenly developed jaundice and cholangitis and was hospitalized for 24h to get iv drops. We did two ultrasounds, a full panel of blood tests but no biopsy. His ALT and Bilirubin are very high. He has no fever and the general blood tests were ok. His gallbladder stones have dissolved...

The smell of Musiaka's pee seems to have worsened. It's suddenly much smellier. What could it be? Musiaka recently had fleas (now exterminated), could it affect it? He seems normal otherwise. He's on small dose pred 1,25mg and Ursodiol nightly (been on Ursodiol for 5 months now).

I found a couple of fleas on my cat and some flea eggs, tried combing as much as I could out but he's resisting so it's difficult. Got some drops that are to be put on him topically but I'm hesitant about using them as they are chemicals to enter his bloodstream and he's already on prednosolone...

I was walking Musiaka on a leash outside as usual, when we got some company and another cat started following us and rolling on the ground in front of Musiaka. I slightly petted the cat's head (just a little scratch) and thought to myself to not pick Musiaka up before I wash my hands. However we...

Right now Musiaka is on 2,5 mg every other day, but this dose is too low for him during shedding. Vomiting hairballs returns in about 2 weeks of going down to this dose. I want to raise it and our vet says to do 2,5 mg instead. But isn't it better for his adrenals to do 5 mg every other day?

I don't understand what am I doing wrong. I'm using pure SEB powder, without additives. I add 1 teaspoon to 1 cup of water, let it soak for a bit, then bring it to a boil, stirring all the time, and let it simmer for a while after it, also stirring all the time. I'm doing it in a metal pan. I...

The pepcid pills i bought have a little film on them. I'm supposed to give a 1/4 of the 10mg pill but can I cut it if it's coated?

Since I started feeding Musiaka wet food only 1 year ago, his thirst drive is non existant. I saw him drink water only 2 times during this year. I wasn't too worried, cause wet food has high moisture content, but he looks a bit dehydrated and we are having a major heat wave. His fur looks dryish...

Musiaka has ibd and his main symptom is vomiting but we're managing that quite ok at the moment. However there's poop outside the litterbox almost every morning recently. I saw how that happens - he doesn't specifically try to poop elsewhere, but his poop gets stuck in his bum so he runs out of...

Musiaka's flareup started around mid-May, calmed down for a while and now came back again. It suddenly became hot in my country and he started shedding like crazy so he's throwing up hairballs, desperately wants to eat grass but otherwise good appetite, no weightloss. He's been on 1,25 mg pred...

Musiaka's gallbladder will be removed on Wednesday. I assume he will get some veterinary food prescribed to him but he's usually not a fan of veterinary foods, besides he doesn't eat kibble and I think they said they will prescribe him Royal Canin's hepatic. Could I just find a low-fat food for...

We did an ultrasound today and our vet noticed something casting quite a strong shadow, looking almost like a foreign object. She took Musiaka in for an x-ray and saw that the gallbladder stones that were quite small in the autumn are now large and there's several of them. The time is up for...

Musiaka has been doing great on pred, he only vomited twice since february and his blood results aren't too bad (a bit hight alt and the vet didn't like his creatinine levels, even though they were within the norm - she said new research shows it might be high). Compared to how he was last year...

Hello, we are in trouble again, but with something different this time. Musiaka is on a very low dose prednisolone (1,75 mg daily) to control his ibd and chronic vomiting and it's been working really well. He was so extra playful ever since we started on pred, so I guess all those games have...

Musiaka is on a super low dose prednisolone due to possible ibd and his constant vomiting. Pred really works for him. I currently feed him Purina Pro Plan Delicate which is an upgrade from his regular store bought Purina and he tolerates it well, but I'm not the fan of the ingredients. It has...

I have recently decreased Musiaka's pred dose to 1,75 mg daily and his daytime appetite dropped significantly. He had a huuuge appetite on higher doses and ate around 3 - 3,5 x 85g of canned food daily. Now he barely eats 1 x 85 g during the day and 1,5 x 85 g during the night. During the day I...

Musiaka has been on Pred since the 12th of November - 5mg daily for 7 days, then 2,5 mg for another 7 days and then I tried giving him 2,5 mg every other day but his vomiting was back so I upped him to 2,5 daily again which he has been taking since the 29th of November. His vomiting...

I have a problem. In my country, prednisolone comes in 5 mg pills only and they don't have a splitting line to make things easier. We will have to go down to 2,5 mg in 2 weeks and I tried to cut the pill in half but the parts come out uneven each time! I went and bought a pill cutter, but even...
