Three few weeks ago my cat Katrina (she's small and lost weight so just 7 pounds now and 15 years old) became constipated, I got her through it with an enema, but she remained lethargic, so I took her to the vet 2 weeks ago. She has been drinking a lot of water for many months and does...

No, the vet did not do anything for him other than make the diagnosis; he said if it weren't for the cancer, he'd put him on fluids and B vitamins, but apparently he thought it wouldn't make any significant difference for this one. He was not eating as much yesterday, though he was still walking...

So the vet said he has Squamous Cell Cancer. That's what the thing on his nose was. And he said it will keep eating his face and he's going to be suffering. He also said he's very dehydrated and has fleas. He pretty much acted like he had no chance of getting better and suggested putting him to...

I called again and this time they referred me to someone else, who said they work with a vet and would send a voucher to the vet to cover an exam for the cat. The vet said after the exam they call the ASPCA to see how much they'll cover for treatment. I may have to wait til tomorrow, since I...

I called a local shelter and they said they would come pick up the cat, evaluate it, then decide to take care of it or put it to sleep if it's in too bad of shape, and I'd have no control over the outcome. And they don't give free shots to stray cats. Now I'm not sure what to do. The cat is...

Thank you for that very thorough answer. Which tests and shots do you feel are necessary before bringing him inside? And should shots be given the same day as being neutered? I read it can be a lot for cat's system to take in on one day, and they should be done weeks apart? Is it necessary to...

There is a somewhat friendly stray cat we have been feeding for a few years. I say somewhat because when he sees you he will meow and start rolling around showing his belly, and he lets me pet him, and sometimes rubs against me. But sometimes after petting him for awhile, he will meow and try to...

I'm new to making homemade catfood so I don't have a grinder. I'm thinking of trying the recipe at http://www.catinfo.org/?link=makingcatfood. But I'm a bit confused on how to add the boneless chicken / chicken liver without a grinder to the mix. After whisking the raw egg yolks and supplements...
