    Unbearable Decision to put our sweet girl down

    Yesterday our sweet Oreo shattered her femur. We think that our 6mo old puppy, who never bothers or jumps on the cat really, had jumped up on the window on her bed and hit her just right with his paw. We didn't see it happen, so we can't be sure. Oreo would turn 16yrs old next week. She was...

    How to switch up wet food

    So our 15yr old cat has been eating dry all her life. In the past when we tried to switch to wet, we tried a couple brands and she'd vomit. She had surgery in Sept and unexpectedly had a tooth out, so we fed her Fancy Feast as she couldn't eat the kibble. She does like 4 varieties, and has...

    Growth Removal/tooth Extraction/uti

    My poor kitty! We took our 15yr old in for adenoma growth removals as one has started to both her after a few years, and 2 tiny ones were growing by it. We will get biopsy results Fri or Mon.

    15yr Old Transition To Wet Food - Process & Brand Recommendations?

    Hi All, My 15yr old cat is 14lbs, and should be more like 10. Our new integrative vet would like to see her on wet food. We currently feed RC Dry Weight Management Food. In the past, we had tried wet, but she was getting hairballs/vomiting a lot so perhaps we just couldn't find the right kind...

    Pink bump on cat's back - tumor?

    We found this lump on our 13yr old cat's back today. Is this something we should watch and wait, or rush off to the vet to get an opinion right away?? It's the first we've noticed and doesn't seem to bother her...but in googling it looks like it could be a tumor? My husband says it looks like...
