Thanks for your reply MrsGreenJeans . The meds are eye drops so I doubt they effect the thyroid or kidney.  I am not sure if he would have to take pain meds the rest of his life and will be asking that question next week when I meet the eye specialist. I had to drop my cat off in an emergency...

My approximate 10 year old cat (with kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and herpes)  came down with lens luxation last night.  The lens is at the right front of the eye now.  He is on eye drops(anti glaucoma and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drops) and buprenex for pain. The vet wants to pull...

Can someone please verify the mg per capsule.  I see 1/2 a capsule as dosage but I want to make sure and buy the right mg.  I have seen the 600 mg and 750 mg capsules online. Thanks

It is so hard to lose a cat after spending 20 years with her. May your sadness turn into fond memories of Samantha. My thoughts are with you.

Try a plug in felliway which might help mellow her out. Also to make sure she eats, try to have the caregiver give her some really tasty, smelly catfood like fancy feast.

My cat has had a scab on his ear for 4 months. The vet gave me some topical/steroid treatment to put on it but it isn't going away. She said it isn't skin cancer because of the way it looks. Does anyone have any ideas on what this might be? He is about 17 years old. Thanks

You can buy the fluids and needles at costco with a prescription. I buy fluid (saline chloride) and it is $18 for a case (you can't buy them individually there). I know they have lactacted ringers also. You don't have to belong to Costco to go to their pharmacy.

Is your friend looking for the cat late at night? They say that is when cats feel more comfortable to come out from where they are hiding. Hope they find it soon!

I am sorry no one has responded to you before. I don't really know what might be wrong but You might want to try getting some plug in(wall outlet) feliways. It will hopefully calm your cat down. I brought home a new cat that ended up hating my existing cat and kept on attacking him. I bought...

If you haven't tried already, you might want to post this kitty on the lost and found section of craigslist.com and petfinder.com

Thanks for the info. We are waiting for bloodwork to come back tomorrow. He was doing terrible today but after I gave him some fluids he was a little better and ate quite a bit. I am wondering how manageable the crf and heart failure are. Does anyone know?

My 17 year old cat has had CRF for about two years now. I give him fluid every other day with potassium in the fluid. I was giving him fortekor(benazpril) in the past but had quit for a while because I couldn't get the prescription gravy food that I would crush up the pill and put it in. I...

My cat was trapped under our house for about that long and survived. I think he had mice and probably water though because it rains quite a bit where we live. I think the food source was starting to dry up because he finally started scratching to get out.

Make sure and check shelters far away. I met a man at a Petsmart that was buying food for squirrels. I started chatting with him about it and he shared with me that he trapped his neighbors cats and dumped them in a field about 30 minutes away because they bothered his squirrels. I still am...

I had search and rescue dogs come over today to try and help with finding Tiger. The dogs went all over and indicated the cat was alive. The dogs indicated the cat walked up the street the trail ends which means the cat was picked up or jumped in a car. If a cat is attacked or killed...

Foster Kitty - I have had three cats where I live, two of the cats only go out a little bit when I am sitting outside. Having adopted Tiger at 13 years old, she has been very set in her ways. She contantly bolted outside when any of our 5 family members and their friends opened the door. She...

Thank you everyone for your prayers and good vibes. Still no Tiger. My husband and I have combed the woods around our house. We did find a clump of fur that might have been hers. There were only about 40 hairs so it actually gave me some hope since usually coyotes leave more remains around...

We let our cat, Tiger, out this morning about 9:45 am and she hasn't returned since. She usually doesn't leave for more than an hour because she is afraid she might miss a meal. We are surrounded by woods and the next door neighbor said he saw a large coyote strolling through his yard tonight...

Don't be afraid to give the sub-q fluids. I am very squimish and it was easy for me to learn. I gave my cat sub-q fluids for 4 years(16-20years old) and I believe it prolonged her life and she had a good quality of life. I also gave her a special kidney diet food, and benzaprel(medication to...

My only experience with eye problems was with my 20 year old cat. The eye basically turned black overnight. The vet said the eye would need to be removed. It doesn't seem like this kitty has the same problem as what mine did but the vet said what my kitty had was very painful. You might want...
