    Enalapril and cough?

    My boy that has HCM has been on Enalapril for almost a year now. He was put on Diltiazem about a month after but that didn't do what it was meant to and he was switched off that to Amiodarone about 5 months ago. I noticed he has a cough that is getting worse and worse. It used to happen maybe...

    My cats hate Fancy Feast since they changed the recipes...

    So Purina went a head and changed all their formulas to remove dyes and artificial preservatives and now I have 3 boys that are mostly unhappy with their meal time. One will thankfully still eat most of the varieties he can (he is allergic to chicken) but the other two have basically been...

    Chicken free crunchy treats?

    I am trying to find another kind of treat I can use for my cat that has a chicken allergy to give him his medication. I had thought he started getting diarrhea today only to realize I accidentally gave him a food variety that has chicken in it. Poor guy. It was meant to be for the other cats and...

    My cat is onto me with the pills...

    So my cat is taking 5 different medications twice daily and has been taking them with food really well. I would crush them up and give him a small bit of food prior to his first and last meals of the day. He started not being so keen on it the last few days and now will snub the food if he knows...

    Feline Hyperesthesia?

    I stumbled on this trying to see what else could be going on with my cat. I noticed the front of his chest will twitch or pulse, hard to describe and I am not sure if this is down to purring or his heart issues. I will have to ask the vet at his next visit. Anyways, I stumbled on something...

    Sudden health issues (fluid in lungs, enlarged heart)

    I adopted a cat that was FIV+ in 2018 and he was otherwise healthy. Have not had any issues with him until recently. He had an issue with his eye and a runny nose, so I took him in to see the vet. He had an URI and conjunctivitis. They gave him a shot and some eye drops. He was nearly 100%...

    Having a bad reaction to medication?

    My cat was put on Piroxicam back in June of this year for Transitional Cell Carcinoma (tumor on the bladder). He had been handling it just fine and it has kept him eating and pain-free. The recent refill was in bigger capsules. We contacted the vet about this and they said it was the same...

    Can a bladder tumor cause leakage?

    My cat has been dripping blood and peeing outside the litter box for a while now but it seems like he is just letting loose sometimes. He wet the bed yesterday, at least a quarter of a cup of water. I did buy him a diaper and he is going to start wearing that today with some panty liners...

    CBD for cancer?

    I mentioned in a few threads I have a cat with bladder cancer. He is on medication meant to ease the pain and help with his appetite. It may or may not shrink the tumor. Where it is, it can't be removed and other treatment options such as chemo are too risky, they could spread the cancer around...

    Looking for suggestions...

    I posted a while back that my cat got diagnosed with a bladder tumor. He was peeing blood for a while now but it seems like it just drips out of him all over the place. I am trying to figure out a way to somehow manage this. I thought of using doggy diapers but they would not only be too big, it...

    Does anyone have an outdoor enclosure?

    My oldest cat is leash trained, the middle one refuses to walk on one and just rolls around (plus he is a big cat, almost 20 pounds) and the youngest will go out but freezes up and shakes, he is too afraid to walk. I want to get an outdoor enclosure area so they can both enjoy some fresh air and...

    What does it mean when a tumor is bleeding?

    I am going to ask the vet when I can speak with her, it didn't cross my mind at the time to ask. My cat was diagnosed with bladder cancer, has a tumor on his bladder. Thankfully not in a place where it can cause a blockage. He started peeing blood daily about a month ago. This wasn't happening...

    Cat acting weird hours after being mildly sedated?

    My cat had an appointment earlier today. He had to be put under to get an ultrasound. This was 6 or 7 hours ago now and I am starting to worry because he is acting strange. Usually, he is a bit wobbly and drunk and is fine after 3 hours because the vet uses something to bring him out of it. This...

    A bit overwhelmed here...

    My 14-year-old cat started peeing all over everything, straining to pee, blood in the urine. Got his urine tested and he is showing that he has inflamed kidneys. I wasn't told he has kidney disease but he needs to be on a special diet because he is heading that way. He is a very picky eater. I...
