    Uri Infection Spreading In House

    Thank you so much for your advice. I'm just a basket of nerves knowing that I exposed them to two viruses - as if one wouldn't be terrible enough. Every cough and sneeze just breaks my heart. Barely slept last night. I just picked up antibiotics for the 1-year-old and I have appointments for...

    How Effective Is The Fvrcp Vaccine?

    Hi Everyone, I have 3 cats that are fully vaccinated. Their ages are 1/3/6. I took in what I thought was healthy foster kitten two weeks ago. He got sick a few days after I got him and I just got test results back that he is positive for both the herpes virus and calicivirus. Despite separately...

    Uri Infection Spreading In House

    The test results for the kitten came back positive for both Herpes virus and for Calicivirus. I'm heartbroken. My cat Meeko is really sick. He's had his vaccinations but he's just over a year so I don't know if he hasn't built up the immunity of the others yet. My 3-year-old is a little sick and...

    Uri Infection Spreading In House

    So I called the vet. My cats should all be up on their vaccinations and the new kitten had his vaccinations at the shelter as well (although just the first round). At first, the secretary was told there is no herpes vaccination but then I looked up the one the main one they give - FVRCP: “feline...

    Uri Infection Spreading In House

    Thank you for your response. My boys have never been sick before. The kitten got sick first - so I'm sure he gave it to them (kitten to Meeko - Meeko to Henri). I'm doubting they ever had it before this - or why this response if it's in their bodies? My cats get their annual vaccinations but...

    Uri Infection Spreading In House

    I've been up most of the night in a near consistent panic attack. I have 3 cats of my own and I foster a couple of times a year. Last Sunday I started to foster a little black kitten from a high-kill shelter. He seemed perfectly healthy and is so friendly and loving. I even got him tested for...

    Old Cat With Possible Scc Having Issues After Biopsy/buprenorphine

    Thank you all. It has come back as advanced SCC and half of his right jaw has been eaten away by the cancer according to the x-rays. He's starting to get the bloody droll and bloody paws from the drool. I am going to try and bupren. at a lower dose with a new compounding technique where you can...

    Old Cat With Possible Scc Having Issues After Biopsy/buprenorphine

    Thank you both so much. We did end up syringe-feeding him that night with some A/D food and it made a world of difference just getting him interested in food again. He is much better now. I think we're getting the SCC results today - so that will be another hurdle. If he does have SCC I'm not...

    Old Cat With Possible Scc Having Issues After Biopsy/buprenorphine

    My cat Jacques is 16 years old and was just biopsied for SCC (oral cancer). I took him home last night and he seemed okay. He was not feeling great but he ate and seemed okay. Today he is catatonic (no pun intended) and was doing the thousand yard stare forever this morning. He just hovers over...

    16 Year Old Cat With Suspected Squamous Cell Carcinoma (oral Cancer) Or Eosinophilic Granuloma

    Every fiber of my being is saying this is cancer and that I should have it biopsied rather than waiting. If it's cancer I want to cancel my 2 conferences coming up to spend time with him while I can. I'm also super annoyed that my vet says they can't find/never took dental records when he was...

    16 Year Old Cat With Suspected Squamous Cell Carcinoma (oral Cancer) Or Eosinophilic Granuloma

    Hi Everyone, I lost 2 of my cats this past year and a half and I'm worried I'm going to lose my 3rd. Jacques had a dental at the end of March with no issues. In the last month, he was becoming noticeably thin and acting like he didn't feel well. I took him to the vet and they said his mouth...

    Why Did My Cat Die? Told She Had Lacerated Tongue. She Bled To Death.

    My cat Sasha was 14 years old. She suffered from severe IBD which they thought most likely turned into lymphoma. Her CBC from 2 weeks ago was good. We had gotten her IBD symptoms under control through Depo shots (she was impossible to pill) over the past several months and she had gained weight...

    How Do You Deal With People Who Say "it's Just A Cat, Get Over It"?

    Pets are family to those of us who truly love them. Losing them can be as hard, or even harder, than losing a family member. They are our babies. We seem them when we wake up, when we come home and when we go to sleep. We feed them, take care of them and love them.

    Sasha 2003-2017 (my Baby 2004-2017)

    Thank you. :) She was adopted from the high-kill Downey Shelter in South Los Angeles County. She most likely was a young mother who had been left there as even at a year old (and 4 1/2 pounds) she had a hanging tummy. When they said they "were surprised she was still there", I adopted her. She...

    Sasha 2003-2017 (my Baby 2004-2017)

    I lost my baby Sasha today. I took her in yesterday for bleeding from what they said was a lacerated tongue. Since she had IBD/Lymphoma, I was relieved. This morning I woke up to find a lot more blood in the guest room. I took her in and they said she was dying. I can't believe my little tabby...

    Connection - Cat Vomitting/use Of Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed?

    My cat Jacques has been vomiting up this weird thick mucusy substance every few days and now my others cats have vomited bile or food. I was trying to make the connection and it came to me that dad "surprised" me by helping my lawns with Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed a couple of weeks ago. It...
