Nebula is 8 months old today (Feb baby). She's growing very well, spunky, crazy....all around pain in the butt. She eats the Weruva Kitten formula wet food and also gets a 1/4 cup of Orijen Dry Kitten food. She loves the dry food (so does my 8yr old). Just general question but when should...

My Onyx had similar spots in her eyes....they continued to grow until her eye changed from yellow to almost chocoloty - brown. I wasn't melanoma in her eye, but a precursor to it. She went every 6 months for recheck for 2 years, then to once a year. Her eye doctor said it it doesn't become...

Please know that you have another option besides the pills. There is a treatment called I-131 (Radioactive Iodine shot). It's not cheap, but they measure the size of the tumor give them one shot and then they have to stay in the hospital until the radiation in their pee drops to an acceptable...

Update: At my local shelter I knew a few weeks ago they had 4 female kittens from a litter (3 month olds, just spayed). Two were already adopted and I didn't want to split up the pair of tigers so I didn't consider them. I went in on Tuesday and one of the tigers was now alone....someone had...

Preamble: Onyx(f) and Jinxy(f) were adopted together from the shelter in 2016 (1-2 yr olds). The shelter lied to me and told me they were sisters. They were complete strangers but quickly bonded though. Onyx, the stoic and dominant one, Jinxy playful but passive. Onyx died 2 months ago and...

Could it be a sensitivity to your Laundry Detergent, or maybe the Litter you use?

Hi, My girl Onyx (8yr old) has a little limp and her Vet recommended Cosequin as a supplement. She has been on it daily for the last 7-8 weeks. I've been notice a change in her behavior. Staring, lip-smacking, increased appetite, increased drinking. So we brought her back to the Vet, and she...

Hi folks. I'm sorry to anyone who had messaged me...i never saw them until today. Update - 18 months later and NO recurrence of Hyperthyroidism. 1 shot -1 week stay - no more pills, no more worries. Onyx recently had a different problem that we did a full blood panel for and her T3 & T4 counts...

Thanks for your replies (and questions). My beauty Onyx, who is currently sleeping on the pillow beside me is only 5 yrs old. She has already had another 'older' cat issue - hyperthyroidism (at age 3.5). I did the I-131 treatment and got her fully CURED, so that was awesome and worth the $$...

This is my beautiful Onyx. Her eye pigmentation has been changing over the past couple of months. She has always had freckles in her left eye, but now they are growing. We went to an ophthalmologist last week and are taking a 'monitoring' approach. It's hard to get a good look at the iris at the...

Hi, My girl Jinxy Doodles has a sensitive stomach. It took me a long time to find a food that didn't give her diarrhea. (Merrick Limited Ingredient)....Sometimes she has soft stools still and a couple times I've had to take her and have her glands expresses. (when she eats some of the other cats...

Hi, I'm 6 months POST I-131. I'm fat, furry and happy again. I still sleep on my Dad whenever possible. At night if he sleeps facedown I like to lay on his back and purr in his ear. I know I'm a pain in the ass, but he loves me.

Hi. Just wondering hoe Felix is doing? I know when my Onyx came home from I-131 the first 4 weeks were a little unsettling for her (and me).

what day can you bring Felix home? Saturday?

Today is the day!

Cas, please feel free to read my post on the 131 treatment. I've been detailing Onyx's journey since July. While every cat may react a lil different, you may find some interesting info on what to expect 'Post 131'. ~ as someone who has been thru all of this, you will be very happy with the end...

My Onyx was off the meds for 22 days b4 the I-131. In her case I found her body was metabolizing food so quickly that her stomach was often empty. She would throw up white, foamy bile when that happened. I just fed her as much as possible. Up to 6-7 times a day. Onyx was eating almost 3 full...

Congrats....I hope you can get into the program for the 15th. They say to keep contact with your cat down to 20 minutes a day (once they come home). To wash your hands after playing with them. Minimal contact. I didn't care, Onyx was sleeping in my bed Night 1 when she came home. Your total...

Once treated please remember she won't be 'cured' for a few months. It takes awhile for their body to even out from the thyroid tumor. Think of her recovery more like a roller coaster than a steady up down and you'll be ok. if your cousin is close to one of those CT locations you'll save alot...
