    Cat Asthma

    My cat Pimento (6.5 y.o) was diagnosed by one vet with mild asthma two years ago. The diagnosis was made based on her watching videos of his cough episodes and discussing their frequency. Pimento was having brief cough episodes maybe a few times (4-5) a month. The treatment was an injection of...

    Fat cat that never ate a lot

    I adopted my boy Pimento over 2 years ago, he is now 6. He is between 15-17 pounds consistently. For a cat this size, he does not eat as you’d expect and is very finicky. I never gave it much thought until recently bringing in a kitten, only 7 pounds, who eats like a ravenous machine! I started...

    E-collar alternative when stitches are on the neck?

    Hey y’all my Pimento had a growth removed off his neck. The stitches are buried beneath the skin. The vet did not send him with an e-collar because it would rest right on top of the stitches. They didn’t mention an alternative, I didn’t think to ask in the moment, and they also made no mention...

    Are these cats fighting or playing?

    Hello all, I’ve posted on this before but want as much insight as possible. The quick background is that we recently adopted a 7 month old black cat and brought him home to a 6 year old orange cat. The orange cat is a Velcro-act, very very sweet, and previously the only animal in the home. We...

    Resident cat hostile to me after new kitten

    Help! My previously loving, affectionate, clingy, perfect cat is acting hostile to me after bringing a new kitten home. He has never, ever, done anything even close to unfriendly, yet now he is hissing and growling at me when I try to pet him. We are doing everything with the slow introduction...

    Introducing 7 m.o. to 6 year old resident cat

    Hello! I adopted a chunky love ball 2 years ago named Pimento. He is 6 now. He has always been the only animal in the house and is so sweet, affectionate, and well adjusted. He has a bit of “Velcro cat” syndrome and shows anxiety when I leave for longer periods of time. I considered for a long...

    Increased urination on lactulose?

    My vet just prescribed Pimento liquid lactulose twice daily to help with his regularity. He’s only taken one dose so far (last night) and he’s gone pee 3 times between overnight and this morning, no poops. I saw a side effect of the drug is dehydration. Peeing this often is not normal for...

    Cat Enema - when will he be “regular” again?

    A little background info: on Friday night my cat had an enema at the vet, which worked to clear the 5/6 bowel movements he had blocking things up. Over the weekend, he’s slowly began eating and drinking more regularly and is peeing just fine. We’re not certain what caused the constipation in the...
