I posted an earlier thread about my baby cat dying in the middle of the night. I continue to be haunted by the fact that he died in a carrier on the way to the 24-hour emergency vet to get euthanized. After I heard these terrible howls from him (the last sounds I’d hear from him) at 1:00 a.m...

My baby cat died tonight on the way to the emergency vet. He had been battling chronic IBD for the past two years. In the past few months, he was rapidly losing weight but still ate. Throughout December, he appeared much weaker (unsteady footing), but he still had an appetite. Things went a bit...

When my elderly (16.5+ years) cat eats kibble, he always makes this really unpleasant and irritating grinding sound with his tongue. See the video here. I once described this sound to my vet, and he suggested it was a sound cats made when they're nauseous. I'm not sure how accurate this is...

I am writing this because my baby boy, my first born, hasn't been eating for about two days. He's also been throwing up consistently for the past two weeks. He was diagnosed with IBD in October 2020. He's been living with it for almost two years. It's been up and down. We're currently on...

My senior kitty (15.5 years old) was diagnosed with IBD a year ago. Since then, he's been on budesonide for about 6-8 months, then on prednisolone for about a month. He hated the latter and would always spit most of it out or puke after taking it. Went back to the vet, and he prescribed my boy...

I trapped a near-feral kitten in December. She was probably 8-10 weeks old. We gave her a home and she got on well with my two other cats (even though they were annoyed by the kitten energy). I stupidly left the door open yesterday, and she escaped. She ran pretty quickly and hopped the fence...

A few months ago, I posted this thread about my best boy cat. $2,000+ later (ultrasound, new bloodwork, B12 screening), the vet determined he either has IDB or small cell lymphoma of the small intestines. Only an endoscopy would be able to allow us to determine the true diagnosis, but I'm not...

My beloved 14-year-old male cat (see photo of my handsome boy) is not doing too well these days. He's been throwing up daily after dinner for more than two months. Breakfast is a bit better for him, but he doesn't eat the entire 3 oz can of I and Love You turkey food. He only eats wet food (3...

I have a 13.5 year old cat who has, until this past week, otherwise been quite healthy. I've had him since he was 3, and he has been just a complete delight. Never overweight, always had his teeth cleaned every year, eating great food. Starting Wednesday, he refused both his breakfast (half a...
