    Cat unable to be seen at the vet.

    My cat is the same! My vet has asked me to give a dose of gabapentin 12 hrs before and then double up the dose 2-3 hrs before a visit. Has worked wonders for my girl. Does leave her super groggy, but she still manages a hiss and a few growls at the vet. It helps relax her enough to be covered up...

    Major lethargy after Merial Purevax 3-year Rabies shot

    Just found this post. Wondering what happened as my cats going through something similar :(. She’s not as bad, but is quite feverish, lethargic and not eating much. She is a complete grump when she is feeling unwell and doesn’t make life easy for anyone, not even herself. She’s growling at me...

    The duvet tinkler

    Hiya, the litter box she uses all the time. Kept very clean. The duvet has been given to the dry cleaners each time from what I understand. They don’t use bleach but they send it for a pretty thorough clean. Not cheap though. Especially when it was sent thrice in a week for a clean! apparently...

    Fussy eaters

    Hiya, thanks for the response. hadnt thought about thigh. generally has bone right? Think that’s why I was wary of using it. I suppose if I can spend the better half of 2 hours working through fish for bones I can handle some chicken thighs! I had been boiling initially but now I roast...

    Fussy eaters

    Hi there, I'm struggling with getting my two girls to eat their home cooked wet food. They generally like change and get bored if fed the same thing too often. Just when I think I've found a recipe that works they go off their food and leave me struggling for ideas! I generally cook chicken...

    There’s always hope!

    hi all, ‘This isn’t a cry for help. Rather, wanted to send a post saying how despite all the awfulness and drama of trying to introduce two cats together who clearly aren’t amused by your insistence that they be friends, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I had reached out to this...

    Vet Visit Advice

    Have done home calls a few times, but the problem is can’t be done for things like dentals :/. Sometimes I have to bite the bullet and take her in. I think they aren’t Willing to give or recommend sedation meds as they’re worried I may be purposely trying to harm her. I don’t know, that or else...

    Vet Visit Advice

    Hi there. The mess in the carrier isn’t my worry really. It’s the state she works herself into that upsets and worries me. I’ve asked vets about using a tranq beforehand but they look at me like I’m trying to either poison or have no idea what I’m talking about/making a big issue out of nothing...
