Thank you for your Reply. She had all blood work including chem panel and clotting factors check. Everything normal. Her lab work shows no signs of any kidney disease at this time. She'll be 11 mid April. According to what was told to me, her bladder was normal. This is all so very strange. And...
Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I thought cystitis would have shown in the ultrasound, but none was. I'm going to look up this condition your kitty had. The blood has been intermittent but this morning she had urine with the worst amount of blood yet.
The vet at the emergency...
Late on updating. The ultrasound was absolutely negative except for one thing: mild calcification of the kidneys. My vet stated this is not considered normal aging. The vet at the office that did the ultrasound talked about more advanced testing but it would have to be done at the veterinary...
I'm noticing it here and there. I usually get the Fancy Feast tender chicken and liver since it's fish free due to my tabby (profile picture) having a fish allergy. WINCO Foods was all out. I went about 5 days later and they had a lot. I got 30 cans. Didn't want to do a wipe out for other...
I know how hard it is. They are part of eras of our life, just part of our life really. I am lucky in that my last old girls passed at home with me naturally, both old age. One of (probable) kidney disease or failure, she went down fast, one of quick lymphoma.
If they are in pain, then I would...
I'm so sorry. I have never seen this. We had one cat that worked at her sutures and took them out and the area was very red and open. The vet sewed her up with stainless steel and she sure couldn't take those out. She never had drainage like this. I'd be persistent with the vet. I hope she is...
Thank you for your response. X-rat was negative for stones. I'm sorry about your kitty. I hope you find a food solution.
I had a calico with stones, she had surgery once to remove them. Gratefully they never returned.
Thank you for your reply. No issues like meowing in the litter box or licking her area. I'll ask the vet about possibilities more in detail after her blood work results come back. They will be of coarse checking her blood clotting factors. I want her to have the ultrasound if needed. I don't...
Thank you for your reply. I really like your idea of treating possible inflammation. I will mention this to the veterinarian. One issue with my tabby (who is my profile picture) is she has a fish allergy. They eat a Royal Canine dry with one small can treat (fish free) a day split between them...
I'm not looking for medical advice, I thought I'd post to see if anyone had any similar experiences. X-ray was negative. Coarse of antibiotics did not stop the blood (UA and culture were negative for bacteria, showed blood of coarse and the vet stated the urine was well concentrated) Sh e will...
Thanks so much for your replies. I know the new one needs to be neutered. We have a trap, spay and release organization in this town funded by a thrift store that does good business. The issue is, they say they have trouble finding the vets to fix the animals and a practicing vet in this town...
Pawing at stuff. My tabby (profile picture) loves to paw at a book if I put it down or the glass door if I'm on the other side. Her latest is pawing at the books in the book shelf. Drives me nuts. I don't know if she does it when I'm not here or if it's some kind of attention getter.
Also she...
I posted some time back about the 3 ferals I feed at my workplace. I received nice replies and encouragement which I appreciated greatly. My hope was to take the two bonded ones if I could find a place to buy in a mobile home park. I'm now 60. But I'm yet to find anything. Prices have gone up...
Thank you for the picture. I can see how people would walk through there. Kids and teenagers may go back there. I wouldn't trust the HOA or anyone that you don't know for sure care about the cats. I just don't trust people. I feed 3 TNR at my workplace and don't trust co-workers. I know how...
I drove across the United States with three cats. It was not fun. Safety is the number one concern. I agree with feeding them the day before but not in the AM of your trip. It sounds like you have things ready and you will not have to stay in a hotel overnight which is good.
My biggest advice...
My tabby (pictured) is so bad. I can't free feed these two, they would eat constantly. They started waking me up about 2 AM to be fed. Fine. But now it's moved up to about 1130 PM. I'm in usually a deep sleep and she starts pawing. She's relentless. Even though they ate at 830PM. I miss being...
