My cat's prescription got messed up, I am in the UK and the system here is we can request a prescription and pay for that and buy the meds somewhere cheaper than from our vet (which is often at a 3x markup). Anyway without going into too much detail, everything with getting my cat's...

Another anniversary thread from me, today is 1 year since I had my darling Sonic put to sleep. He was the feline love of my life and I am still completely and utterly heartbroken, and shaken by his loss. My world will never be the same again without him. He developed kidney problems that...

I know you all will understand. Thinking of him tonight, on the 3rd anniversary of his death. He went through some bouts of ill health throughout his life including at one point having to be tube fed for 6 weeks after he stopped eating following surgery. Nursed him night and day through that. He...

My elderly boy Jakey has just been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and stage 1 chronic kidney disease. I know a bit about CKD but was wondering whether anyone had any links, info or advice about chronic pancreatitis. He is doing OK at the moment, the diagnosis was from changes seen in his...

I've been struggling to post this thread for nearly 2 months now. My darling boy, my love, who loved me more than anything in the universe will ever love me (and the feeling was mutual), passed away on 8th January 2022. I am still struggling to cope with this monumental loss. There's no...

I've just got back from the vet an hour ago and am possibly just going through anger/denial and trying to find something to do, like maybe I can somehow fix this, although I know that is unlikely. My darling Sonic (in my avatar) is 15, he was losing weight slowly last year and had a whole load...

I can't type too much right now because I am devastated. My darling sweetheart little mischief Radar was put to sleep in my arms tonight. I'll miss you forever sweetie. Radar, AKA Splodgkins, Radey, Destructicat - b. 13th May 2006, d. 7 Jan 2020. Always in my heart xxx

He got a Feline Herpesvirus flareup and stopped eating, he was in a sorry state so we took him to the vet hospital and they kept him in a couple of days to give IV fluids and supportive care. He is back home now and eating well, we are doing steam treatments in the bathroom and warming his food...

Not so much asking for advice as we have been to the vet and have treatment, just more for sympathy really. Vet thinks it started out as a mild viral thing but he now has a secondary bacterial sinus infection and has a lot of thick nasal discharge. In other regards he is fine - he's eating and...

Hi, this is not for me, am asking on behalf of a friend. His cat often has sediment and bloody wee, it's been treated by the vet a few times and there's no sign of infection (tests have been performed), but I suspect some dietary and long-term support advice may help to maintain better urinary...

Some background, for those who didn't see my other recent threads. My Radar had middle ear surgery, must be nearly 8 weeks ago now - he stopped eating afterwards and was on a feeding tube (e-tube in the US, or o-tube in the UK) for a few weeks. During the initial ill health surrounding...

Radar currently has an e-tube because he has not been eating after surgery. So because of the bad weather, NONE of the vets locally, including our central vet hospital, received deliveries. Radar is being fed Royal Canin Convalescence Support 50g pouches (the powder that is mixed with water)...

I can't see any way to do this myself, so figured it wouldn't hurt to ask: I started this thread about a particular surgery my cat had over a week ago, but since then has turned more to be about tube feeding since my cat stopped eating (he is ok, he has a feeding tube now) - but it would be...

Hi, I used to post here years ago, but haven't been around for a while. My lovely boy Radar had a massive problem with polyps in his ears and throat, so had the above procedure yesterday on both sides, it's more complicated surgery than straightforward removal, but should prevent them...

Hi all, long time no see! One of my cats is terrified of being in a pet carrier (for transport to and from the vet and so on), in the time I've had him I've been able to get him used to being in a large dog crate by putting his food in there and giving him treats - this serves a practical...

He had an allergic reaction (not a serious life-threatening reaction, just an itchy annoying type reaction!) to an insect bite of some kind on his leg, he managed to make his thigh almost completely bald in the space of 24 hours and was worrying the affected area so it looked a bit gory. We...

I have 3 cats, all neutered males between the ages of 18 months and 2 1/2 years old. The youngest 2 are Oriental Shorthairs, and in common with their breed are very affectionate towards my husband and I and want to spend as much time as possible on us or next to us. One of the Orientals...

I take too many photos! Here are a selection of highlights.... Sonic and Jacob, Sonic looks none too pleased about having the camera pointed at him yet again... Sonic says that sleeping is good, but is best on a pile of coats, it's good to make the humans feel jealous that they can't obtain...

Radar is 2 years old today, happy birthday my love!!! In these photos Radar is the bicolour, Sonic is the blue Oriental, and Jacob is the lilac Oriental... I think I may have mentioned Radar's foot obsession a few times, he really is a horrible cat when there are feet around... his victim in...

Here's one of the lovely Radar first, caught mid yawn... And the Ori boys who wuvs each other... Sonic apparently makes a good pillow...
