Hi all! I have a quick question...is it possible for blood and wbc in urine to not show up on a dipstick but to show up during a urinalysis? My cat hasn't been feeling well so I got a urine sample yesterday, it was dark brown/amber. I did a dipstick test on it and everything was normal except...

Hi again everyone. Another one of my cats (14 y.o.) is very ill and I would like to get some help if possible. I noticed she was not eating much then gradually her belly appeared distended. A week ago, the vet did xrays and found she had fluid in her abdomen. She was dehydrated also. Her...

Hi everyone. It's a very sad day for me since my 14 yr old cat died. About 2 weeks ago I noticed he was not eating well, I took him to the vet a couple days later. They tested his blood for pretty much everything and the only abnormal result was his rbc's, they came back at 4.6 and the range...

I hope someone can help me, I'm a nervous wreck. My cat has a URI, he was acting lethargic, not eating or drinking so i took him to emergency this morning.  He would vomit after I gave him water. He was on amox. and I thought that was causing him to vomit.  He won't eat or drink on his own, I...

Hi all. I have a 15 yr old cat that has a fairly large swollen area under the eye. His eye also was tearing and had a small amount of greenish discharge. In the past he has had this discharge and it went away in a couple days. Also, he has been sneezing on occasion. I assumed it was a URI...

Hi again. In my previous thread, "Oral Contraception", I posted that I was able to trap and spay my feral. She had her surgery Wednesday afternoon and I have been keeping her in a kennel so she can recover. I was planning on releasing her on Monday, is that too soon? She has been ok in the...

Hi there. I have a feral mom with four kittens that I have been feeding for the past couple months. I was hoping to be able to tame the mom and have her spayed as her kittens are now no longer dependent on her and are on their own for the most part. So far I have been unsuccessful in taming...

Hi everyone. I found a rather large lump beneath my cats nipple yesterday. I took her to the vet immediately and he thinks it's cancer. She's scheduled for surgery on Monday morning. I've read that pretty much all tumors in this area are malignant. My cat is 13 and is spayed but I think her...

Hi everyone! Just wanted to do another quick update on intro'ing my friends 6 cats to my 9. Great news, I will not have to rehome any of the cats! I was having a slight problem with my friends dominant male attacking my dominant male whenever he would go into his territory that I set up for...

Hey everyone, just wanted to update anyone that would like to know about how the intro of 6 cats to my 9 cats and 2 dogs went. The cats seemed in very good spirits immediately after bringing them to their room, happy to see me, ate and played a lot. Two of the cats were let out to mingle with...

I hope this is the right forum to post this in. I posted previously about how I will be getting 6 of my (deceased) friends cats. The last time I saw them was about 1 1/2 years ago (because I ended up moving to another state). I cared for them when she was on vacation as well, sometimes for 3...

I have posted a few times the last couple days but didn't introduce myself properly so I figured I would do so now. My name is Stacy and I moved from FL to TN about 8 months ago along with my hubby, 2 dogs, 9 cats and 1 turtle. My cats are all rescued strays or were unwanted by prior owners. I...

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and am hoping to get some much needed help here. Yesterday I found out that my close friend passed away. I received a call from an officer that said she left a note saying to call me to take care of her 6 cats. I am in TN, she was in FL, so my husband has to...
