Thank you Margret and ArchyCat for the info. This is turning into something a lot more concerning than I’d originally thought. I hate subjecting her to surgery, but from everything I saw in those links it seems it’s the best option.
Time to make an appointment with my vet. Thanks, both of you.
My kitty was spayed over 2 years ago. Everything went fine, etc. etc., she was happy and healthy.
Well until two days ago. I noticed she was rolling around on the bed as if it was sprinkled with catnip or something. Okay, she’s a bit weird, no biggie. Except she kept doing it. Then she added...
Wow, thanks both of you! I’ll definitely try a different food and litter. I don’t have perfumed candles or cleaners or anything like that, since I’m very sensitive to strong scents myself.
It’s an old house, so mold is definitely possible, but I think the litter and food is more likely, since...
I have made a complete change of food from dry kibble to that new Rachel Ray grain free wet stuff (she loves it). Maybe I should try something else.
I hadn’t thought of the litter, but that makes sense. I use just regular clay litter, but it is dusty. I’ll see what other options there are in...
Hey guys. My cat has been perpetually sickly since I’ve had her about five years ago. Her nose is always stuffed to a degree, and she’s developed a permanent head tilt. Every few months, like clockwork, it develops into what is apparently a bad infection in her sinuses which requires a trip to...
She unfortunately doesn’t have access to her kittens right now (they got taken prematurely by some overzealous employees at the store they were at), but her teats are very hard, and kind of disk shaped.
Should I be worried? I might be getting some of the kittens back to finish weaning them, or...
Hey, all. Sorry for the long delay. I finally managed to talk the pharmacist at CVS down to about $50 a case. Not ideal, but cheaper by far than the vet. So that's good.
But on an even BETTER note, the vet retested him and his levels are almost completely normal! She was stunned, and said she...
Well, I tried presenting that coupon at Walmart. The lady there refused to honor it, since it was for a pet.
Then I went to another pharmacy on the list, who told me it was out of stock. Then I headed to Walgreens, which had originally quoted me $70 a case, but there was a different pharmacist...
Thanks!
I think Walmart said they could order it, but that it was super expensive. (I could be misremembering, since I've been to so many different pharmacies these last two weeks).
Holy crud, that site says my local Walmart has a carton of 12 for $24. Why on earth couldn't the pharmacist find it? Time for another trip I guess. Thanks!
Oh, is that right? They wouldn't even let me go into the store without an escort, haha.
The lady seemed quite emphatic that they didn't sell the stuff, but maybe she just didn't know?
I'm not a member yet though. I wonder if they'd tell me before I commit to a membership?
Thanks! That's been my go-to place for knowledge on this whole ordeal. I will definitely join the support group, too.
My local Costco doesn't sell them. I have no idea why not.
Thanks, but Facebook scares me, hehe. :lol:
Hi, all you lovely cat people. My boy kitty just got diagnosed with kidney disease about a month ago, during which time I've been reading like a madwoman and educating myself on my options for him. I finally overcame my needle-phobia and have begun giving him regular subcutaneous fluids at home...
Oh my goodness, poor Spart! That sounds just terrible. :(
I asked my vet about Lyme disease originally, but because she doesn't go out, they said it was pretty unlikely, but I'll run it by them again when we go for a checkup.
I'm so glad your little baby is doing better!
She's doing better. It's the same exact progression as before, except sped up. She's able to jump on the windowsill and off again without too much issue. Her head's wobbly, and she isn't steady, but she's playing.
I went through the Advantage I have, and double-checked to make sure none of it...
Well she seems to be doing better tonight... not a massive improvement, but not exactly negligible either. She actually walked to the litterbox and did her business. She fell over before making it back to the bed, but at least she can move.
Slow and steady...
I read on a few places that the inert ingredients aren't always tested for safety (it's not necessary under the law, go figure). Ironically, none of the fleas died. I had to use the old flea comb + dawn soap combo just now, since she was absolutely encrusted in flea dirt. So not only did it...
