    I'm struggling with a rapid death of a beloved cat

    So today is a week that my Elsa has been gone and I want to encourage some of you to hang in there. If you lose your cat it is a very hard thing and I was crying my eyes out after it happened and then I started feeling guilty which is part of the process, guilty I didn't pay more attention to...

    Doxycycline, please help with advise!,

    I looked this up on the Internet. It's an antibiotic and there are other ones that are safer. Maybe you could ask her for an alternative antibiotic? Just tell her you are concerned about the side effects and see what she says. My vet gave me several prescriptions and none of them helped, just...

    Doxycycline, please help with advise!,

    My God, why is she giving you such a horrible prescription? I would ask for a different prescription but if not be ready careful with this stuff. Do as she directed. Have you seen this vet before?

    Doxycycline, please help with advise!,

    You have to crush it up, water chaser? Don't be afraid to give him medicine, if you trust the vet and just tell her or him that you don't understand what she means and ask her to be more specific, it's easy if you wrap your friend up in a towel so that his head is visible but his paws are in the...

    I'm struggling with a rapid death of a beloved cat

    That was so nice of you to say. It's been almost 4 days since she left and i'm not counting the day she actually died and this has been the hardest time in my whole life and since i'm 68 that covers alot of ground! I have been going through many 1st experiences. Elsa was my second cat, Ramses...

    I'm struggling with a rapid death of a beloved cat

    This site is wonderful, I truly feel welcome here and I believe that Elsa had a condition that was always going to come to this conclusion but at least she was with me for 3 years and I treated her like a princess, having her picture put on her cat dish, several beds, pink of course and a tepee...

    My cat is acting strange after taking the drugs the vet gave us

    I'm trying not to. I keep crying and I took a bath in my tub that Elsa was fascinated with. She'd lie in it for hours when she was ill. I thought I'd have her for years. This process is new to me. I never had dog or cat die on me. She's no longer in pain, that's what counts but when does this...

    Lend Me A Kitten

    Thank you for this. I just lost my Elsa yesterday, she suddenly had breathing problems and the vet gave us meds that did not help, only made her worse. She had a siezure of some kind when I picked up yesterday and so we rushed her to the er pet place but she had already gone. This is no hard...

    My cat is acting strange after taking the drugs the vet gave us

    Thank you, and thank you for your help with all this. I'm reaching out about my grief with videos and other help, my boyfriend wants to go out and get another cat but i 'm not ready and the other cat wouldn't be Elsa. She was a rescue cat, I rescued her, I was in petsmart looking for a dog when...

    My cat is acting strange after taking the drugs the vet gave us

    I am sorry to say that Elsa died yesterday right in my arms. She seemed to be getting better, her breathing was quiet and she was sleeping, we were going to take her to the emergency pet hospital close to our house but she seemed to be much better but now I absolutely hate myself for not taking...

    My cat is acting strange after taking the drugs the vet gave us

    And I did follow up with him, I went to him twice but it's obvious that its a breathing issue, I read up on it and he was supposed to hook her up to some kind of breathing machine since she was having a hard time breathing and he did not explain the medications to me, I had to read the bottle...

    My cat is acting strange after taking the drugs the vet gave us

    So I've been learning some interesting things, Elsa's problems are that she can't breathe through her nose, either from a cold or something she sniffed outside and I threw the Flagl away since it isn't for this, but that crazy bet also gave me Albuterol and Presinolone which will take care of...

    My cat is acting strange after taking the drugs the vet gave us

    I'm so tired of this. It's been going on for 2 weeks at least. I will take her to that Banfield hospital but after that no more vets. I have a friend who has asma and she takes the same prescription as my cat and says when asma acts up you don't want anything to eat but as long as you drink...

    My cat is acting strange after taking the drugs the vet gave us

    Most of those vets were on Petco chat. As soon as we get the rest of the money from Facebook . That is the only thing I can get down her. I think it's the drugs that are making her not want to eat. I'm finishing the asma medicine while tapering her off it just as the directions say on the bottle...

    My cat is acting strange after taking the drugs the vet gave us

    Yes, I decided against that since they are talking about future problems but I have my problem now. So I have been forcefeeding her the delectables and it is quite messey because they are the sticks you squeeze but i've done it 3 times now and she gets about half of them but for the first time...
