    Is this medical or behavioral?

    No they have not done an echocardiogram. I am hoping that it's calicivirus or something even more minor, he may have had it this past February when he had a mouth ulcer but no one would test him for it for some reason. I don't know what I'm going to do if it's heartworm. He's been through so...

    Is this medical or behavioral?

    Yep, read the article and basically like 15 others. :-) It's low occurrence where I am and I did move back to my apartment.

    PU surgery complications

    Hi, My middle-aged cat had PU surgery performed after two full obstructions and a partial obstruction about 2.5 months ago. The site has healed well but about 1.5 months ago he started having foul smelling discharge and irritation from the PU site. He's able to urinate fine but has been licking...
