He is an indoor-outdoor cat, mainly outdoors as he sleeps in my garage with other stray cats. He's not a stray, but that's where he likes to sleep. I've force-fed him twice so far today using a syringe, and some recovery cat food the vet gave me. Yes, I will be finding a new vet. My vet is...

I am sick to my stomach right now with regret. I should have not given him the vaccines. I didn't know. The vet didn't caution about it. I've been reading that vaccines in older cat can harm the kidneys, and lead to kidney disease. It is very complicated and I don't quite understand it, but that...

I'm sorry I must have been unclear. The vaccines were 6 days ago. He stopped eating 3 days ago. I began force-feeding him this morning. I just don't understand why everything was fine til he got the vaccines, and now he's acting like his kidneys are failing.

I am worried sick. He has always been a voracious eater. I thought i was helping him by giving him vaccines, but now I question this choice. They gave him his one year FELV, FCRPV, and rabies on Thursday. It is now Wednesday. He stopped eating about Sunday, and is constantly drinking from the...

He is almost 14 years old. This has been going on for about 3 years. He rarely coughs... except after he hisses. He hisses regularly... such as when he's on my lap, and I need to get up. A couple of years ago I took him to a vet, but he couldn't find anything wrong with him after doing tests...

I have a couple of doses of Revolution at home and I gave the cat a dose after bringing him back from the veterinarian.

I took him to the vet this morning. He said the hair loss was probably stress related or parasite related. I paid him $60 and took the cat back home. I really have to question whether veterinarians are worth the cost. He didn't even give the cat a wellness exam. He did run his fingers through...

What might be the cause of this? All the hair is gone on a certain section of his tail. He is a homeless cat who I have been feeding daily for the past 18 months. Has anyone seen this before? What is the cause? And what is the cure? I don't see any other hair loss besides here. This is a new...

I have 3 cats, and I am always happy when they eat. My worst fear is that they stop eating, I suppose. My 9 year old girl, Flower, is overweight. She has been for years. Everybody thinks she's pregnant because her stomach is large, and skims the ground. Lately I've noticed she never wants to go...

Hello my cat, Rocky, is 13 years old. He was just recently in for a check-up, and I forgot to mention his congestion to the doctor. He continously has to blow his nose out to make a clean passage for him to breathe. It's been like this for a couple of years. I think he got the virus from a feral...

I am reluctant to get him neutered. I have another cat who sleeps in my garage. He used to be just like Larry (the cat mentioned above). He was constantly wandering, but he was happy. I had him fixed, and now he sleeps in my garage all day. He seems to have no motivation or no reason for living...

It's hard to explain, and kinda subtle. But I notice him sometimes and it seems like his hindquarters walk a bit sideways for short periods of time. He is a stray, homeless cat. When I see things odd like this, it makes me worry. I do the best I can to keep him fed, and to fix his wounds when he...

It looks as if my question had been deleted. The column where it shows how many replies and how many views is blanked out. So is the date. Was this question removed by the moderator? Obviously the thread is still here, but maybe only those who initially responded are able to view it??? Last...

Well that white thing you see was hanging on the outside initially. I removed it with my fingers. I could have swore it was moving. But I thought it might be my imagination. Now I am not so sure. Maybe it is larva! That is really discouraging. I was hoping it was a an absess from a fight, and...

I feed about 5 stray cats. I noticed this one scratching the side of his neck so I had a closer look. There seems to be a deep hole, and inside of it is something white, I assume its pus. I simply do not have the money to bring him to a vet. I am not sure I will be able to make my rent this...

Thanks, I never thought of syringing water into his mouth.

My 13 year old cat has been throwing up all day, and he's not feeling good. I gave him some Cerenia that I had in the house. His vomitting has made him dehydrated. I know how to use an IV bag, and I have some sterile needles. Is there a place to buy an IV bag that is affordable? I took care of a...

She doesn't like the other two cats, but there's nothing I can do about it, unfortunately. They get along well enough, though. I took her in to have her teeth cleaned not too long ago, and they did blood work before hand. Her blood work looked good. But whether or not this means anything with...

There are 4 cats in the house; my two, and for the past 8 months, my roommate's two. Somebody is peeing in the living room. There are literally over ten different spots where they have been using it as a pee station. I just spent the past hour with a spot cleaner machine cleaning them. I am not...

He has been in the picture since she's lived here, about a year. He tried to choke her so that's why she moved out and moved in with me. He is not a cat lover. I wouldn't trust them in his care.
