Since his visit to the vet in the end of January he has been hiding under the bed, especially in the morning and when he sees me getting ready to go out. He is ok during the day, eats normally, enjoys going out. When I brought...

    Dental question

    My Dental Vet wrote to me, as I asked what may be causing Rysiek's mouth inflammation, see her answer: "I think the previous inflammation in his mouth was due to the levels of calculus present. He again has calculus accumulation this time I saw him and we removed this. This is probably linked...

    After lots of medication (since April) Ryshu's blood is showing some signs of anaemia. The vet said that it could be from anaesthetic as well so suggested to repeat this assessment at some point... I just wonder if any of you have dealt with this problem and what are your experiences and any...

    Acid reflux/esophagitis

    Polyps/Feline Orofacial Pain Syndrome

    I am so worried, almost crying. My cat has had some problems with his ears, then the skin around ears... But... His main symptoms were related to shaking head and scratching... I raised this one year ago, but I was dismissed somehow, that this is just his behaviour... Now, his skin and ears...

So he received dexamethasone shot and then a week after the antibiotics injection, Convenia (long lasting...

    I think my cat has problems with Feline Hyperesthesia. It mostly happens when he is frustrated with something, such as not being able to go out. Apart from "rolling wave" on his skin alongside his spine, he rolls his tongue, and then sprints and runs fast as if in a kind of flight response from...

    Chew On Cardboard

    Hello, my cat has always had this behaviour, namely chewing on a cardboard. I think this may be a bit territorial, as he almost "makes" his favourite box and then uses this as his security/sleeping box. He does it quite often and then sleeps in the box. Also I have noticed, that when he gets...
