Took her into the vet today because the lump on the left side is pretty large. He vet is very concerned that it seems to be sort of spreading (she had her shots two weeks ago today). He said it could be a localized reaction to something being stuck under her skin. So he gave her a shot of...

Our younger kitty, about 4 yrs old, likes to wrestle around with the other cat. It's always playful, but every once in a while a claw gets one of them. I noticed last week that on the left of her nose, she had a dark spot, and while she moved incessantly when I tried to inspect, it looked to...

Our kitty was vaccinated on 4/16... Rabies, FeLV, FIP and FVRCP (or whatever it is). She has two lumps under her skin toward her hind legs. Moveable, firm and they don't hurt her. One is on the right (rabies) and is about pea-sized. The other (the one that has me worried) is on the left. It...

One of out kitties nibbles on her fur and skin a bit when she gets really into grooming. Not casual grooming, it's only when she's really into it. Tonight, she was grooming our other kitty and I noticed she did it to the other cat as well... the other cat didn't seem to notice (it was behind...

Our 6-ish y/o kitty seems to have a hairball blocking up with works. Last time this happened, she was at the vet's for a week (very expensive!) and had to have fur literally pulled out of her behind after a series of enemas, then followed at home with LaxAire. This time, she is presenting with...

I wanted to post this because I know how hard it is to imagine two new cats ever getting along! But they will in time! http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/ou...mily_cats.html

OK, so PollyAnna is doing a bit better after her enema yesterday (got rid of a bunch of worms and hair in there!) Urinating on her own. Still not having bowel movements on her own yet (could be megacolon). But the roundworm eggs are my concern at home right now. I'm washing all of their...

Both cats are being treated for roundworms (one home, one at the vet still). From what I've read, it's a bear to get rid of all of the eggs that are around the house. What is the best way to go about this? Will washing their bedding on hot water do the trick? Or do I need to get rid of the...

Our 6-ish y/o tuxedo, PollyAnna, just spent her second night at the vet after going in on an emergency call because she was vomitting and not pooping. Apparently she hasn't peed since she went in, either. First of all, I feel like a complete idiot for not bringing her sooner because now that I...

When we were at the emergency vet last night (see other post) I asked the vet his opinion on the best food I could be feeding my two girls. He seemed to think that since weight management is an issue for them, Science Diet WD would work really well. Apparently it's only available at the vet's...

Our new furry addition is about 5 years old (they estimate) and we adopted her in July. She's been vomitting infrequently for three days.... getting a little more frequent today. Last night she vomited digested food, this morning she vomited mostly liquid, and this afternoon, more liquid. The...

Hi everyone! Kind of a newbie here.. but have a quick question. Growing up, we never had a real Christmas tree because there was an incident with my parents' cat climbing the entire tree and toppling it before I was born. So that's sort of been ingrained in me that cats will climb them...

Our city water leaves much to be desired as far as contaminents go. I read a report on it about a year ago and decided right then and there that my family (including furry family members) were going to be consuming spring water instead. My question is: by doing this, are my cats going to be...

Our one cat had a cold a few weeks ago.... now she's getting better but the other cat has what seems to be a mild cold. I really thought she was getting better today but a few minutes ago she let out a moan and then vomitted on the floor by her litter box (one large puddle, with two smaller...

Hi, new friends We have two cats, both shelter rescues... first cat arrived 2.5 yrs ago, second cat last month. Our first cat (age 3-ish) lived as an only-cat with us for her first 2.5 yrs with us and we measured her food and left it for her throughout the day. Well, now that our new...

our new cat tested neg. for FeLV three weeks ago but all of a sudden she's having symptoms similar to a URI (with no fever and clear dischage - see other thread). But she has EXCESSIVE thirst! My doc did a blood test for diabetes and its not that. He doesnt know what the thirst is from. And...

Hi I'm new here... I have two cats. One resident calico whom we have had for over 2 years, and one new adult cat who was introduced about 3 weeks ago. The new kitty is about 5 years of age, give or take. This past Monday she was treated for hook worms and also given Amoxicillin because she...
