What is everyone doing because of the Tresaderm shortage? My cat has an ear infection, and the vet told me they are no longer doing the oti-pack treatments. All of the local vets here are out of Tresaderm and Chewy and 1800 Pet Meds are out too.

I took my two year old Grayson to the emergency vet yesterday because his breathing was off, and the night before, he was very lethargic, although I didn't notice the breathing. Long story short-they put him in oxygen and ran tests and did bloodwork. He had fluid in his lungs, and although the...

Surprisingly, my older cat Jet has FIV. He came to me as a stray a few years ago, and I don't think I had him tested, but when he got blood work done two weeks ago, the vet told me that one of the things it checked for was FIV, and he is positive. He has been doing fine other than having a...

Can I use laxatone for constipation? One vet suggested Miralax, but I thought I might try the laxatone. She doesn't have hairballs but about two weeks ago had to get two enemas for her constipation.

I have posted about Amber's issues before, but I finally made the decision to go with the T3 suppression test, which I think has some drawbacks for us. I always value the opinions of others who have a lot of experience, so I thank you in advance for any feedback. Amber's thyroid gland is...

My friend took two very skittish cats from me when I moved, and it has been weeks, and they are still not adjusted enough. She wants to pet them, and they are continuing to hide. Does anyone have any suggestions? She is singing to them, trying to engage them in play, etc, and nothing seems to be...

Amber is an older cat, and her blood work showed that she is in the early stages of kidney disease, which I've dealt with before as many of you have. Her thyroid levels were normal, but the vet suspects that she has hyperthyroidism based on the fact that she has been eating pretty well but...

I was surprised at how much medicine my cat with a urinary tract infection is supposed to get. It's .8 ml, and attached is the picture. I just gave her some after I called and talked with a vet tech. That's almost the whole dropperful. She said this was right. So I filled up the dropper to the...

Can anyone show me a picture or describe how to tie the trap or make it so that it won't close when I put food in for the cats? I want them to get used to eating in the traps before I actually set them. Right now, they're not going anywhere near them, and I've used tuna and sardines and I also...

I've posted about this before, but I thought I'd post in this forum because I'm desperate for help. I have three cats who are at my house, and I go over three times a day. I've had to move in with my mom. This arrangement has been going on for two months now. The cats are inside, and although...

I've had this problem before with the same cat, but I always get great ideas when I come here. I'm trying to get my cat to a vet, and I tried today and it was a disaster. I had the cage turned upside down, but she got out of my arms. I'm looking into other cat crates and wondered about your...

So I took two cats for routine stuff today and was asked by one of the vets what I wanted to do with my cat Cullen, who was sadly put to sleep a couple of weeks ago. I had told another vet twice that I wanted him cremated. This vet also asked me about the body of another cat in their...

Cullen has been at the vet's for a week, and his stools are still watery. The vet has done tests, etc, and even an x-ray, which showed a very thick intestinal wall. She thinks it might be lymphoma or IBD. He is on prednisone and is not showing much improvement, which might suggest lymphoma. She...

I guess I just need some good tips from people who have been through this! I am living with my mom now. Dad is gone, and their 13 year old cat has been used to going in and out as he pleases. That is going to change after he was gone for over 24 hours. He gave me a really good scare, and I'm not...

Cullen is due for a dental in two weeks, and I worry that his teeth are bothering him. He didn't want to eat tonight, and he vomited. He's resting now, but I did give him half of a Cerenia tablet, which the vet had given me a few weeks ago for an upset stomach. Blood work showed that his white...

Some time back, I posted about a feral cat I'd been feeding, and to make a long story short, she is no longer feral, and just when I was thinking that something must have happened to her kittens as I hadn't seen them, BOOM, I saw them today. Well, I saw two. I took her to the vet a few weeks...

Like all of you, I have made many sacrifices for my animals over the years, and I have done it willingly and don't regret anything I've done to try to help them. I've paid thousands and thousands of dollars for their care, and I've gone without nice furniture, clothes, and vacations just to...

I am going to the vet this morning as soon as they open but I wanted to see if anyone had ideas. I fear the worst. Jasper had his ear polyp removed two days ago. They got most of it, and he is on methylprednisolone twice a day and a form of Baytril ear drops. I thought he was doing okay until...

I think I've read negative reports on Meloxicam, but I just got a call from the vet's office, and they've given it to my senior cat after her dental, and they will give it over the weekend as well. She had two extractions. I always like to keep them at the vet's after dentals in case there are...

My cat Jasper is having a procedure done in two weeks to possibly remove an ear polyp. Since December he has had no ear infections and he is eating but for the past week or so, his right eye (his polyp is in his right ear) has been smaller than the other one. I took him last week for a check up...
