I'm using Revolution instead of Frontline Plus.
It was not recommended as a course of treatment for heartworms; we are fortunately not at that stage yet.
I had a bloodwork wellness panel recently done on my beautiful 6 yr. old boy, Voodoo. Everything came back fine except he tested positive for the heartworm antibody.
We have a terrible mosquito season brewing here on the East Coast, so I'm not so much surprised as I am worried. I have switched...
I'm sorry to hear of your cat's condition.
I had a cat with FeLV who when diagnosed, had a hemoglobin level 50% of what a healthy cat's level should be. Our vet told us that a blood transfusion was an option that could give our Gateway a little more time. I don't know if this is viable in your...
Mimi is a 2 yr. old calico former stray we added to our family in November. Had her checked out by a vet, which included a stool sample, before introducing and assimilating her to our other two kitties. Other than being terribly thin (she was declawed and abandoned) she was given a clean bill of...
I just took in another stray, a beautiful calico named Mimi Took her to my vet yesterday, had her tested and vaccinated.
I am looking for advice and suggestions on how to transition her into our family which includes a pair of felines, Carmen and Voodoo, a mother and son. Carmen, a former...
All things happen for a reason even though we may not know nor understand why. Your tribute to Babygirl is a testament to the fact that your shared time together enhanced both your lives. This makes your loss and guilt so heartfelt.
It is not your fault that Babygirl has moved on, sometimes...
I switched vets this year after what I felt was a missed diagnosis of FeLV in my 2 year old tuxedo and wish I had the forethought to go through an interview process as suggested in prior posts before I lost my dear Gateway. As a result of this experience, I realized that you really have to be an...
Sorry for your loss. I know exactly what you're going through with the suddeness of the loss. I lost my Gateway, a 2-yr. old tuxedo, very suddenly back in February. Everything from the onset of his symptoms to our letting him go happened in the span of a week. It was extremely difficult - I...
Sorry for your loss of little Yoda. Try and not to beat yourself up - you did what you felt was right and cared for the little guy. RIP, Yoda. Play happily over the Bridge.
This is a really good thread - many pearls of wisdom in the prior posts to ponder. No good deed in this life will go unrewarded for it is the intent of our actions that shows what is in our heart. Guilt can be unforgiving - know that you did what you felt and knew you had to do to care for your...
I believe that you deserve a "tribute" for the rewarding yet extremely difficult work that you do. You provide care, affection, and compassion to those in your charge. The four tributes were very moving. I hope that you will consider some of the suggestions in prior posts to try and get the word...
Bless them all. May all the animals and the poor woman be in a better place where there is no neglect, nor disease; where happiness abounds and only love prevails.
Such a sad story! Know that Patch can have all the chicken he wants now over the bridge and won't have to worry about cold winter nights anymore. You provided him with love, care, and attention which made his life so much better. Wishing you peace.
I've had a similar experience with my Voodoo. Although I keep my litter boxes extremely clean, I decided to try Dr. Easley's litter - which claims to encourage use of the box by even the most particular of felines - and also kept the top of the litter box off so no odors would remain in the...
Snoopy must have been very special to have found a person like yourself who took such good care of him and showered him with lots of love. Know that Snoopy is napping and dreaming happily over the bridge and I hope that you find peace during this difficult time.
