    Still straining to urinate in the evenings 2 months after blockage

    Gray Boy is estimated to be around 13 years old, and he had no known issues (other than a high liver value) when he suffered a urinary blockage 2 months ago. He was sent home with buprenorphine, Onsior, prazosin, but recovery was slow. He had struvite crystals so he was put on a prescription...

    One liver value is high, maybe cancer?

    Sure I can update. Unfortunately my Gray Boy hasn't had his ultrasound (or dental) yet because he suffered a urinary obstruction and it has taken him about a month to recover. He had to get catheterized twice, so he was under anesthesia twice. He got IV fluids and his ALT went down quite a bit...

    One liver value is high, maybe cancer?

    Thanks, it's interesting to read about the different ways they may do a biopsy. But with so many causes of inflammation listed, I'm hopeful the ultrasound won't show anything concerning. Thank you, I feel better about the chances of it being cancer. I will talk to my vet again about how we can...

    One liver value is high, maybe cancer?

    Hi all, a couple months ago I wanted to get my cat a much needed dental, but when the vet saw his blood results she didn't want to put him under anesthesia due to a high liver value. ALT was 200, then on his next blood draw 200 again, then today actually up to 215. None of the other values are...

    I took "her" to get spayed. Vet said neutered male!

    I'm still trying to get better shots. How about this one?

    Male Or Female?

    Hi all, This cat showed up recently at my colony. Is this a neutered male or a female? I haven't been able to get very close.

    Too sick for dental work?

    Thank you. I think I will try to get inpatient care for her if needed before the dental. She is actually improving tonight! She ate most of her food and was rubbing against me, tail up. I got her to play a little bit. She still has a look on her face like she feels bad, and she has gone back...

    Too sick for dental work?

    My semi-feral kitty Pumpkin has not been herself. She no longer plays, she doesn't eat much, and she won't come up to the house anymore. Her fur looks all disheveled like she does not groom as much, and she is shedding a lot. Also, I watched her go last night, and it was just a bit of diarrhea...

    Is it bad that my cat is suddenly a picky eater?

    Thanks. I live in Tennessee and the 4health brand is a Tractor Supply store brand. I used to feed the kind that had the rice, fruits, and veggies, but a few months ago I switched to mostly the grain-free kind since they recently came out with it. At first Pumpkin was very pleased with the new...

    Grain Free Cat Feeding?

    I am a big fan of 4health. My only complaint is the lack of flavors! I know of nothing else of 4health quality for such a low price, so it can be frustrating. Other Tractor Supply store brands are not good. Wellness is a good brand they carry, but it is considerably more expensive. With 4health...

    Is it bad that my cat is suddenly a picky eater?

    Pumpkin is 5 years old, and I have had her since she was around 1. She is a former feral and would literally eat anything I put in front of her. Lately she has been very finicky. I normally feed 4health wet food, and they have few flavors. I figured she was getting tired of it and needed some...

    How do I tell if Aashka has a second home?

    I also have some that come and go, and I wonder about their "second homes." This winter I had a little frail boy and I was able to get him up to a healthy weight  , but I have not seen him since 3/12, so I just have to hope he is doing fine on his own now in the nice weather. So sorry to hear...

    Feral cat pregnant! Let her have kittens?

    The short answer is no, but this is a very personal decision and it just depends on what you are comfortable with. If I am TNRing feral cats and some show a little, I will generally proceed anyway, considering some don't give you that many chances to catch them, but it is difficult. I got my...

    can a person get too attached to two touchable adult feral cats that tameing them for my bac

    It's not selfish at all! It actually sounds in the best interests of the cats in this situation. And since there are only two and you can even touch them, transition to your home could be very successful. I was in a similar situation with a semi-feral (feral but touchable by only me). I fed her...

    4health now has affordable grain-free wet food

    Well, now that I've been feeding grain-free 4health, my cat refuses the regular 4health. She's a former feral and not even a picky eater normally - guess she just really likes it. Oh well, the ferals will eat it.

    4health now has affordable grain-free wet food

    That's a good point about the whitefish being further down the list. I think I will pick up some of the Chicken & Whitefish flavor. I'm going to keep some of the regular cans in rotation so they can have a bit more variety than these two flavors, and honestly too much of a change makes me...

    4health now has affordable grain-free wet food

    4health (Tractor Supply brand) is now available in grain-free wet food. It's not perfect, but it's affordable at 69 cents / 5.5 oz. can. My cats do well on the 4health brand, such beautiful coats after switching from Meow Mix and the like. I've been feeding the regular 4health canned food (with...
