I think I was worried about nothing :)  I'm pretty sure he had a small snack in the middle of the night and he just ate a little bit of the wet food I put out.  He's still not super interested in eating or drinking but a little is better than nothing.  He's acting like himself in every other way...

On Friday afternoon my 7 year old male cat, TIger, went in to the vet and he was blocked.  He didn't have stones or crystals or anything I don't think...the vet described it as gritty.  They kept him over the weekend with a catheter in for a couple of days and I got to bring him home this...

My Lily does this with her toy mice. She wanders around with them in her mouth meowing loudly and then drops them and continues to meow. I think she's just very proud of her kill and wants everyone to come look at what an awesome hunter she is

My kitty Cookie had an intussusception last August. She had some of the same symptoms as your cat with vomiting but no swollen belly and nothing visible on an x-ray...not even after being force-fed barium. They finally found it when they did exploratory surgery after she had been sick for six...

Thank you all for your advice. I've decided to kind of hold off on the dog thing for a while. I know that my work hours and distance from home are not really ideal for having a dog. I am still completely in love with this dog but I have decided to not really pursue it. The rescue has an...

Thank you all for your advice I think she would be just fine...now just to convince my husband. For some reason I just can't stop looking at this dog's pictures. I love pretty much all animals but I feel like I just really need to have this one for some reason.

Thanks for your reply The dog I am in love with is a pointer/lab mix. Her bio says that "She is a very smart loving little girl. She loves to lay on her doggie bed and sleep all afternoon and is a great cuddler. She is great in a kennel and is potty trained." I'm not too worried about the...

I need some advice on whether it would be a good idea to get a dog or not. My husband and I have always wanted a dog but we didn't think an apartment was a good place for one. We've lived in a good sized townhome for six years but it has a very tiny yard so we haven't gotten one and would like...

On Tuesday night I suddenly lost my baby Kirby. He was only eleven months old and hadn't even been sick. I had a short work day and spent the rest of it snuggling with Kirby. I went to bed around 8:30 and had just laid down when I heard a cry from Kirby I'd never heard before. He was laying...

Kirby was a stray we adopted from the humane society but he's just black and white so I don't think he's part Siamese It's so weird because he has no other problems and thinking back I'm pretty sure his eyes have always been a little weird.

We have been noticing that Kirby's eyes often move side to side when he isn't looking at anything. It's kind of hard to describe so I'm going to try to take a video for the vet but I'm wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone. I try to avoid looking up symptoms on google because it's just...

The vet called it misplaced aggression. I think it goes all the way back to when she moved three hours away and one of them got a uti from the stress. He spent a day at the vet and they were wary of each other for a little while after that but up to a year or so ago my sister had never even...

She has two cats who are probably four or five and are brothers. Over a year ago something surprised my sister and she yelled and jumped off the couch which made one of the cats fall on the other one. No one was hurt but they started fighting and acting afraid of each other after that. She...

I got a new litter pan for him with really low sides today and I'm thinking of cutting a little doorway so he can just walk right in. The vet also said he might be having trouble balancing in the litter. I'm not too upset by the peeing...he's only going on the linoleum and I just want his legs...

I thought about a uti because I know they can be brought on by stress but I'm almost positive he doesn't have one. I called the vet this morning and she thought he didn't need to be seen just yet. Our boxes have pretty high sides and she said that the unstable surface of the litter might be...

A few weeks ago my eight month old Kirby started limping around. The vet took x-rays and said that he has panosteitis (much more common in puppies) and gave him some pain medication. It will go away on it's own eventually but poor Kirby is still struggling with walking. We just got back from...

I finally downloaded the pictures off my cell phone camera. This is the last picture I took of Cookie in August the weekend she got sick.

I had never heard of it either and I'm not even sure I saw the spot she showed me on the x-ray But I love my vet so I'll believe her. We haven't been able to give Kirby much of his new pills because apparently he's a butthead about swallowing them. It's easy to get them in his mouth and it...

I've been doing some reading about it online today and saw the calcium info. I wonder though if it would help to change his diet at this point. He had such bad diarrhea from the food change when we adopted him and this is supposed to heal in a few weeks. It would take a while to transition...

He eats mostly Wellness Core dry and wellness wet also.
