You have adopted a kitten and they are very high energy! First thing, stay calm and don't despair. Your kitten is still a baby even if she seems to be a full grown cat. She needs lots of love and attention from you, and she needs to expend energy. You said she has lots of toys and a scratching...

My cat has a chronic URI, and takes his lysine powder in baby food. If you try mixing the lysine in powder and your cat still does not take it, try a different flavor of baby food. My cat LOVES the ham and turkey flavors. He does not care for the chicken flavor. Also, try to give the powder in...

Agree with others on this board that antibiotics can cause diarrhea Also, antibiotics can also cause upset stomach and/or loss of appetite. I know that you are frustrated but if you are not getting clear answers or there is a lack of direct communication with your vet, I think you should...

Thankfully, my cats are currently in good health and don't have any issues where I would consider giving them CBD oil. My interest in CBD oil comes from a desire to know more about the benefits, risks, and side effects of using this product. I'm also concerned about the welfare of both humans...

Hi Everyone. Lately, I've been seeing many people tout the benefits of CBD oil. This seems to be the hot new cure-all for any and all ailments in both humans and animals. Among my concerns is that there have been few well controlled scientific studies done regarding this product, proving the...

Wow, you all are sure fancy schmanzy, LOL! My cats eat from raised dishes which consist of placing a thrift store saucer or small dish placed on a shoe box. When the shoe box becomes dirty, I simply replace it with a new shoe box. Gives me a great excuse for buying new shoes!

I think plastic dishes are sold because they are inexpensive, and for many consumers, cost is the deciding factor of what to purchase. I have four cats, and use at least eight dishes per day, and I like to have at least two days worth of clean dishes on hand at all times. Buying dishes at pet...

i was getting ready for bed and thought I would check in one more time tonight to see if there was an update on Marbles, and boy, there certainly was! Wonderful news to hear that Marbles is getting the treatment he needs. May Dr. Merker be richly rewarded and blessed for all that he has done...

Thank you for not giving up on Marbles.

I have a 12 yr. old brother and sister that I adopted when they were about 10yrs. old. They would vomit at least once a day. The previous owner said they had vomited frequently when he had them, and had taken them to the vet, who found nothing wrong with them. The vet suggested a sensitive...

I know this is a long shot, but is there a veterinary school near you? If so, does the school have a program where you could bring Marbles in for an exam and/or treatment at a reduced cost? I know that at certain medical and dental schools, people can come in for exams and some treatments at a...

This is terrible...I understand that shelters budgets are stretched thin, and full coverage for Marbles' issue may not be possible, but can't they even assist with partial funding? I'm so sorry. I know you have been working hard trying to help Marbles. I don't have any other ideas to help your...

Just wanted everyone to know that Pipo had his dental work 2 days ago, and had 6 teeth removed. He is doing very well. He is eating, playing and resting comfortably. Thank you everyone for your kind words and support.

I adopted a 10 year old brother and sister who vomited every day. The previous owner said they had vomited frequently all their lives. He said he had taken them to the vet, and the vet recommended sensitive stomach dry food, but the owner couldn't afford the price of the food. I tried several...

Oh, I'm so happy to hear that he is doing better and not suffering. Javannalyn, you are a wonderful person to help Marbles. He is a beautiful cat and I hope you can get to the bottom of his issues and resolve them. Many hugs for you and Marbles.

Javannalynn, I know it has been awhile since you posted and I hope that you have found a way to help Marbles. I just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking of both of you and know you are doing the very best you can. Sometimes we don't have the ability to provide the perfect remedy...

Thank you Jesset. I'm beginning to wonder if a litter allergy may be exacerbating Rocky's condition. I have been using scented litter, but I'm going to try unscented. His eyelid seems like it it better for awhile, then goes back up over his eye. I'm a bit worried about his eye-just wish it would...

Latest update-Rocky's round of eye drops was finished last night, and it appears that his third eyelid is beginning to go back to normal. Sometimes it is almost in a completely normal position, and others, the third eyelid partially covers the eye. This began this morning, so I'm hoping that the...

Next week my 12 year old cat Pipo is getting his some of his teeth removed and I am very worried. This is very difficult for me to talk about....2 years ago my Buggy Boo went in for dental work. He came out of anesthesia and seemed fine at first, but then went into respiratory distress and...

Rocky Update-Rocky's eye is still the same, with the third eyelid still showing. There is no discharge or redness, and Rocky does not seem to be in any pain. He eats, drinks, sleeps, plays, ect normally. I contacted the vet on 3/9, and they want me to continue with the eye drops as directed...
