16yr old Marvin just had routine bloodwork completed apart of annual comprehensive examination and they detected high glucose level. We'll be following up with a urine test to confirm, but I presume this will more than likely confirm he has diabetes. He is/has been an overweight cat for most...

Last night our Izzy passed away, he was 16. He was diagnosed with myocarditis (basically a form of heart disease) back in March and gave us another 4 months with him. Tomorrow would have been the 16th anniversary of his adoption. Like everyone else in this forum, I just hope he didn't suffer...

I took my 15 yr old Izzy today to the emergency vet as I observed a syncopathic event followed by some yelping and panting. Emer vet said he probably had a mini stroke type of event. They put him on clopidogrel and furosemide after a chest xray revealed his heart is enlarged. We'll be having...

Pill pockets and mixing in wet food have been unsuccessful. Not sure how I will administer for 10 days when I’m stuck on day one. Sigh.

my 13 yr old has to take Clavamox for 10 days for an anal sac infection, and the first night he took the chewable just fine, but today I'm guessing he's just no longer interested in the taste any tricks? I think the point I'm at is to crush it up and put into wet food, but then I always worry...

anyone have experience with this antibiotic?  my Marvin is receiving it for 7 days and I spent a good portion of the morning cleaning up a diarrhea episode (almost like he didn't even make it to the box).  he's also taking an anti-inflammatory for 3 days does Clavamox typically cause diarrhea? ...

To start off, I'm planning on taking my cat into the vet in a couple of hours once they are open... So I was awoken this morning to some vomiting from my 7 yr old male cat Izzy.  A few chunks of food plus a smallish furball.  Unusual to see a furball from this shorthair cat, could have been...

Just read a few pages of Mickey's thread, what a great story.  I'm in a weight predicament situation in my household and my wife and I can't really figure out what to do.  We live in a condo w/ two cats- 20lb and a 23lb.  They've been on the dry dietary food that the vet recommends for like 2...

My 4.5 yr old cat Marvin threw up morning food last Friday 12/30/2011.  His behavior changed from being energetic and exploratative to wanting to sleep the entire day away.  My wife and I give him the benefit of the doubt and decide to wait until the next day to see if his behavior changes.  It...

The vet just put my 2 guys on this as they seem to gain weight fast Anyone have any experience with this? Does it really work? My vet says one of her cats that she took in went from 17.5 lbs down to 8 lbs over the course of 1+ years...now I don't expect such results, nor do I want THAT much...

My almost 1 yr old cat Izzy seems to have picked up an odd habit...he likes to take his toy mice (the tiny colored mice, come as 5 in a package) and drop them into his water dish. Then, as he chews on them, because they are wet, they break open in half and I end up having to throw them away...
