Yesterday when I went to Petsmart the Humane Society was having the adoption fair they have every weekend. They had a beautiful Himalayan, he had the most beautiful blue eyes, and he is terrified right out of his mind He had been shaved down due to matts. He is about 2yrs old and neutered, he...
Sam I am sorry to hear your Vet discounted the supplements, so many vets today rely on pharmacueticals rather than thinking outside the box to look for more natural treatments. I have 4 animals, two dogs and two cats, all 4 have special health problems and I can tell you the difference has been...
Not sure what you have tested for but has she been tested for thyroid, a full panel not just the T4 normally run, also diabetes, and pancreatic insufficieny. Actually there are many things that can cause these symptoms. An ultrasound as well as full blood work up with thyroid is a good place to...
All of the things you describe are normal behavior for many cats. This cat has been through H**l, it will take time to totally trust and she may always have things that are bit different. To reprimand her in any way would just make her mistrust you. Heck mine dig like they are heading to China...
Hi something to keep in mind, as others have said....... there is no definitive test for FIP........ it is the coronavirus that shows up and there are several forms of that. It can develop into FIP but it does not in most cats. Just like most people will be exposed to the flu viruses but most...
That is good, I was hoping if you were able to stick to one food for a bit things would improve. Keep working on getting it under control then slowly, very slowly add just a few pieces of the food you want him on at a time. I have to start with just 4-5 pieces of food a day for a few days then...
Try to stay positive until you know more, paws crossed.
As for googling I do too, but I only visit sites with good information, like Vets , vet hospitals, etc. I stay away from the others. Yes I get scary information at times but at least when I go to see the Vet I go with some knowledge of the...
Hi, it has been awhile. I just posted this link to Blue Rex and thought it may be of use to others dealing with chronic diarrhea or loose stools. Sadly Dr Jody Gookin is running out of funds for her research on TF. Under her plea for help there are several links on information on TF, an owners...
Hi, just saw this by chance, Is there anything I can answer for you? Sorry, haven't been here in a while. I still have links, I think , to answer any questions. I have been dealing with it for 4 1/2 yrs now !
Hi I just answered your PM, sorry it took so long. Dave Dybas is one of the people I was going to suggest you contact, he is great. There is another site that has experiences with this disease and the treatment. I no longer know it but can find it if you want. You have been given good advice...
Did you go to a regualr Vet or an Eye Specialist? If it was just a regular Vet I would recommend a specialist. They do things totally different and have equipment, as well as training most Vets don't. I have been dealing with Feline Herpes for 6 months. One eye has a sequestrum from the ulcer...
Sparky chases the sunlight when I open the door to the patio, she goes nuts. I think the neighbors must think I am nuts cause I just keep opening and closing the door fast until Sparky gets tired of the game
I am afraid if we had any idea what we ingest we would crawl in a cave and not come out
The cat that died started out with it after we brought home a new kitten when her sister died. We had no idea why she had this, she had never in her 10 yrs. had diarhhea. The kitten came from the same...
Sounds like you had a rough time of it I'm sorry, I hope you are on probiotics, that is the best way to deal with it after meds. I know how bad it is, my cat died 3 yrs ago from having it for 8 mos. I agree, amox is one of the biggest problems, it kills the good stuff and leaves you vulnerable...
I have sat down with doctors, been in contact with major teaching hospitals and researchers and made my vet give me all the information and spent Months researching it. I am known at my vet's and doctors for my con-compliant attitude, in other words I question everything and take nothing for...
I have extensive experience with clostridium. I have been dealing with it for four years with cats and dogs. It is an opportunistic bacteria, it is in the gut and is kept in control when the good bacteria are balanced. When things get out of balance, and this can happen for a lot of reasons, you...

Let me know how she is doing.
