    Blood Work – Opinions please!

    Misty recently had a dental and had some blood work drawn. Misty is about 4 ½ years old and is in very good health. However, I am concerned about these numbers showing early CRF. This was a fasting draw, so no water or food for about 10-12 hours. Iâ€8482m not sure if that would impact the...

    Is she going to spray?

    Pepper is my almost 3 year old spayed tabby. She was found as a very tiny spitting 3 week old and came into my house at 7 weeks and has never left (except to go to the vet!). She is indoor only. A few months ago she started doing the "tail wiggle" when she was excited to see either my husband...

    Meow Mix Wholesome Goodness - Wet

    Is this grain free? The ingredient list (which I don't have with me) doesn't mention oats or anything and it is the only wet that my girls will eat outside of Nutro pouches. We have moved to a grain free diet since Misty was diagnosed with EGC. Thanks!

    Wellness CORE Questions

    Hi All, I am most of the way through transitioning my kitties from Nutro Natural Choice to Wellness CORE. They seem to be doing well and yesterday was 2 weeks since Misty was diagnosed with EGC and her plaque spots have not returned (she did get a steroid injection though). Some...

    Pepper and Conjunctivitis

    Pepper gets random breakouts of conjunctivitis. Usually they are 3-4 months apart and always resolve with a round of terramycin. She broke with it again last night. It has only been 2 months since we had it last (june). I am sure that Misty will begin showing symptoms soon, as she usually...

    Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex - At a loss

    Well, Misty and I went to the vet last night and it is not a hot spot after all. The vet said it was eosinophilic granuloma complex (ie an allergic reaction). She said most likely it is to her food, although she's been eating the same all her life (Misty will be 3 in August). Does anyone have...

    Hot Spot?

    I've been noticing lately that Misty is cleaning her belly quite often. She is usually a bit OCD about grooming so at first I didn't think much of it. Well, I checked last night and she has 2 small areas (each about the size of a nickle or a bit smaller) that appear to be raw. Almost like a...

    Ringworm?

    So the manager from the shelter I volunteer at called this afternoon to let me know that one of our new kittens has ringworm and I was doing some heavy handling on Sunday. This is the 1st case of ringworm the shelter has had since before I started volunteering (almost 2 years) so I have never...

    Hyperventilation?

    This morning I was walking down the hall in my house and Pepper was directly in front of me. My boot heel caught in the rug and made a noise that scared Pepper and she puffed up her little tail and ran away as fast as she could. When she stopped running she started breathing really hard. It...

    Help with Misty's Eyes!

    Misty has been having problems for over a month with both of her eyes. I'll try to keep the back story short, but apologize in advance if that's too hard... On Christmas Eve, DH and I came home and Misty was squinting and tearing in her left eye. By the day after Christmas she was no better...

    Poor Dog!

    I was at the vet last night with Misty for her eye again (that's a whole other story!) and we were on our way out. While I was waiting for the bill and her new medicine a middle aged woman came in with a large, but young, pure bred golden retriever. The dog was so excited he was pulling on...

    Sissa

    My girlfriend's kitty went to the bridge this weekend. Sissa was 12 years old and had been suffering from hyperthyroidism for the past year and the vet believes she either had a stroke or a brain tumor in the last month. Sissa : You were so brave throughout all you went through over the...

    Pepper is squinting?

    I noticed this afternoon (of course after the vet closed) that Pepper is keeping her right eye closed or squinted. This is definitely new today. I have looked at the eye the best I could and it does not seem red or weepy. She is not pawing at it, jut keeping it closed a lot of the time...
