    How fast do cataracts progress?

    I took my older cat to the vet in late December due to what appeared to be an eye infection in one eye.  Vet gave me drops (Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone ophthalmic suspension).  So these drops are an antibiotic with a steroid.  My cat seemed to do well with them, but after...

    Convenia side effects?

    I have a newly adopted cat - she was previously an outside cat and I think she's at least 7-8 years old - but I really don't know.  I noticed she was having loose stools for awhile and I attributed this to having been an outside cat.  But after awhile (and after switching to a high quality food)...

    Stinking outside the box

    My neutered 1.5 year old male cat pooped outside the box on the carpet today. I've searched the forums for this problem and found kind of similar situations, but not quite, which is why I posted this. I'll have to get some enzyme cleaner tomorrow because I know he can still smell it after I've...

    Sick kitten needs congestion relief so he can eat

    Hi all. I just got a new kitten a few days ago. The evening I adopted him, I noticed he was sneezing. I mentioned this while I was still at the shelter and the shelter vet gave me oral antibiotics and eye gel for his eyes. Since then, my new kitten has gotten progressively worse. So much so...

    Do airports/customs check to see if cat has rabies vaccination?

    I'm flying back to the US with my new cat in just a few weeks. He has not been vaccinated for rabies for a very good reason... he is a completely indoor cat and I have major concerns with vaccinations since my last cat died from anaphylactic shock from a rabies vaccination. That was a...

    Something to calm him during a loooong flight?

    I'll be moving back to the states with my 1 year old male kitty in just a few weeks... the total travel time will be somewhere around 18-20 hours. I've had experience with traveling long distances overseas, but that was with my other cat who passed away. My new cat has a completely different...

    Cat holding me hostage

    My 10 month old male just got neutered 2 weeks ago. Ever since, he has been certified crazy. I got him at 7 months old and he came with some tummy troubles. He's been doing fine for some time now though and I'm thrilled that he has improved. Before he went in for the ol' snip-snip, he was...

    Metronidazole (Flagyl) causing diarrhea??

    Instead of helping my cat, the metronidazole (Flagyl) prescribed for his loose stools seems like it may be making his condition worse. He now has diarrhea. I called the vet yesterday and asked if I should continue with the metronidazole. They said to continue with it and bring him in on...

    Poo issues related to kitty's liver?

    My 8-month old male, Grabben, has been having poo problems ever since we got him (for about 6 weeks). It started with gas and diarrhea... took him to the vet and they suggested we de-worm him. So he has been de-wormed. The gas is gone, diarrhea isn't so mushy any more. However, when his poo...

    Hej (hello) from Sweden

    Greetings from Sweden! What an awesome site - very informative and everyone is so nice. I came across this site when I was searching online for why my new kitten was having some tummy troubles. My first little kitty was Seven. She was my little baby... but she left us a little over 2...

    Worms or a parasite of some sort?

    My new kitten (who I adopted a little over a week ago) has had tummy problems ever since I adopted him. I know it's not the food I have fed him, because he had some very stinky gas before I even brought him home. He started off having lots of really bad gas and diarrhea. I could even hear his...

    Litter box messies, paw dipping and burying food

    I just got a new male cat - he's adorable and he's such a great kitty, but he has a few behaviors that I'm not sure about... and I don't know the best way to go about and correct these behaviors. FYI: I got him about a week ago, he's about 6-7 months old, and he didn't come from the best...
