Since we lost our sweet Echo in May we have known we wanted to add 2 kittens to our home to join our remaining cat. We went to a local rescue on Saturday and fell in love with 2 girls; a 1yo tortie (Leia) and a 15w old gray and white kitten (Luna). They were sharing a cage and were both sweet...

Echo (16yo, hyperthyroid and CKD) went to the vet yesterday morning for a follow-up after starting sub-q fluids. She peed outside of her litterbox twice in the past 2 days, which she has never done so the vet suspects she has a UTI. I know the use of Convenia is controversial but unfortunately...

I have a question about vomit color. My 16yo cat has hyperthyroidism, chronic constipation and probable kidney disease. She used to vomit almost daily, often after straining in the litter box or when she had gone too long between meals. It was always consisted of her wet food or clear foamy...

Echo (16F) was back at the vet today for yet another bout of constipation. Even though she is on Miralax and cisapride, when she gets in to her brother’s hard food, she gets constipated. The vet gave her one enema that got out a large plug and then gave her a second one that got a lot more out...

She was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a month ago and we think as we bring her levels down with methimazole, it is uncovering some kidney issues. The reason for the Mirataz is because her chronic constipation has been really flaring...

My 16yo cat has had chronic constipation for years that seems to have caused her to develop megacolon. It has been managed with diet and Miralax for a long time but now we need to add in Cisapride. The directions say to give 30 min before meal time, every 12 hours. This is difficult because she...

My 16yo cat Echo has had chronic constipation for years, mostly managed by daily Miralax. She has had multiple episodes where she has needed to go get enemas and/or manual extraction. She has always recovered very quickly from them. However, she had 2 enemas at the vet today, got out a ton of...

Forgive me if this gets long but I’m just trying to find if anyone else has experienced this (waiting for approval to join the H-T forum.) My 16yo cat Echo was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroid. Her level (I assume T4) was 13.1 which I was told was pretty high. All other bloodwork was normal...
