    Sedating an Old Cat?

    I think I'll have a travel vet come in and take a blood sample. She still gets extremely upset by strangers approaching her in the house but I hope it won't be as bad as at the vet...

    Is my cat Ok?

    Hi, How long have you had him for? I got my cat as a stray kitten as well, and she's been a pretty grumpy cat her whole life. It was a very slow process of getting her to trust me. I began by giving her treats to let me pet her. She was probably 7 before she would let me kiss her. She also...

    Tired Old Cat

    Funny reading this... I am spending tonight worried about my scrawny 19-and-a-half year old senior as well. I think she eats less than yours does... which now has me worried... It's hard to watch them, knowing their time could be any moment... I keep telling her she'll make it to 25. Hopefully...

    Sedating an Old Cat?

    This afternoon I found my 19-year old kitty had puked a little bit of blood so I took her to the vet hospital. I avoid taking her to the vet for routine check-ups and whatnot, however I do when I find something concerning. She gets super upset and vets are terrified of her. Today, the vet told...

    Bandage stuck to paw

    The bandage that is on my kitty's leg won't come off, I assume it is "glued" there by the dried blood. She screams when we touch it. Is there anything we can do to get the bandage off? Thank you

    Cat Won't Let Sore Heal #2

    I am a horrible mother. Her sore looks so painful... I feel so, so awful... The new vet finally told me something I can use, rather than "There's nothing else to do." This is the 4th vet she's seen so this has been a long time coming. We have to see a specialist who will tell me whether or...

    Cat Won't Let Sore Heal #2

    Kitty pants! That's a very interesting idea!! I'll look into that. I'm taking her to a new vet tomorrow, but my friend suggested super glue like they used during wars. I won't try it without talking to the vet first of course. Has anyone heard of using this on kitties?

    Cat Won't Let Sore Heal #2

    This is an update on my 14 y.o. kitty Peaches who has a sore on her haunch that she won't heal. She's had it for a year and a half... test results show she's mostly healthy and has no cancer. The vet says there's a lot of blood flow to the area and that's why it won't stop bleeding. They don't...

    Sore that won't heal

    We let her out in the summers and she doesn't leave the yard, so she isn't completely an indoor cat (I must have been tired when I typed that she was). We've just had her inside for at least the last 6 months. She's spayed, was tested for FIV and Leukemia (has neither) and the vet took blood...

    Sore that won't heal

    Can you elaborate? She had this sore over a year ago. It healed, but then it started bleeding again. I know that sounds like something bad.... She had a check-up not too long ago and the vet said she's healthy...

    Sore that won't heal

    Hi everyone! Hopefully someone can give me some ideas on how to help my little furbaby. She has a sore on her haunch maybe half a centimeter in size. We've taken her to the vet a couple times about it. The last time we went they put a cast on her and gave us a topical antibiotic treatment...
