My vet pushed this water additive after a teeth cleaning. It was expensive, and with my situation having 14 cats, using the additive is actually a waste. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. If you have only one cat, maybe it would be useful, but, like you - I'm skeptical about using additives...

sounds like your issues are not the number of litter boxes, more like where they might be located :) - I currently have 14 - all inside - and 6 litter boxes. My house is large enough to distribute the boxes in different rooms - so if one cat is having an issue with another he/she has other...

"sick" - define, please :)

Do you have a compound pharmacy near you? They can compound a liquid, with a flavor-I chose chicken-You are given a syringe to fill the liquid dose, then put the syringe into their mouth -in their mouth as close to the back of the throat as possible, under the tongue-this is a way of delivering...

Just skimming here 1) I get a liquid form of methimazole from our COMPOUND PHARMACY - very simple to administer 2) personally I won’t be putting my 15 year old under the stress of the Iodine treatment-they are in isolation for a number of days until the meds are out of the system-stressful being...

Thank you for sharing this information! Knowing your experience helps me keep a balance in determining what I should do. I’m keeping pics and if I detect it seems to be increasing in size, then I’ll have to re-evaluate my medical options-I am emphatically convinced stress plays an important...

This week a spot arrived on one of my cat’s nose. Interesting thread here-will research acne, thanks for the idea as I’m always thinking the worse first, hoping I’m over-reacting. Sure-I will take to the vet if I must, but it would be a stressful venture with chances of causing other physical...

First- check out chewy.com- they have faster shipping than Petco I think (?) I get their autoship and get a discount. You’ll need the vet prescription to verify most likely—but It’s a one time only requirement unless they want to get an updated prescription later Second - if it were me, I’d...

Do you have someone that is a veteran at trapping cats that can do this for you? Sometimes an animal shelter will provide this help. Floor has packing paper and the top has a cover that falls loosely around the sides. This is my last cat I plan to trap-Sunnee (Sunny)-he’s now inside.

I read your thread-wow! I can’t imagine all that you’ve been going through! I was trying to find information from a reliable resource I had used a long time ago but couldn’t remember the link- but I’ve Re-found it and passing it along- and - for me & KiKi maybe just in the nick of time before...

Thanks! Will be following! :D

Antonio65: Well you fully understand my $$ issue, by the time you nickle and dime this without a remedy it’s better just to do the one time cost and have a satisfactory solution. I’ll certainly go to your thread while I consider how I’m going to pay for this:). Thanks so much!

Ok, now I’m miffed! The vet, obviously didn’t tell me it was a tumor! Because I didn’t know the right questions to ask (he called to tell me the test results) I really made an uninformed treatment decision. Because he said we’ll recheck (thyroid blood tests) in 2or 3 weeks I (wrongly) took it in...

Another question-is this condition because of a thyroid tumor?

KiKi tested at an 8 Vet prescribed liquid form- compounded- the amount prescribed is .25 - 2 times a day. I insert it directly into his mouth and after only 3 doses he seems to be doing okay. . I am interested in determining how this fluid amount measures up against the tablet -and- if the dose...

There’s another thread I just joined because my cat was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, too. If you’re interested to know a little more you could check that thread-“cat thyroid medicine”. I suggest another thing to consider is getting liquid compounded meds rather than a pill- I so hate...

Also, keep a carrier in her room and she will begin to use it as her hiding place & bed. I use a small bungee cord to prop the door open. (You’d be able to close her in it to take the trip.). I’d lightly cover it (to help her think she’s hiding) keeping air flow-very important. She will run into...

The syringe is really small, the pharmacist marked the measure on it for me. Would you know if this dose size is usual? I gave him his first dose this morning-hope he doesn’t have a bad reaction & trusting all will go well. Thanks for your interest and input-much appreciated!!

I just received the prescription from the compound pharmacy - $50.00 for a 30 day supply - liquid form - chicken flavor. The amount is .25ml 2 times a day. There weren't any precautions provided - I'll be calling the Dr. before I administer the first dose. This is my boy (KiKi) with a 14th...
