Hello everyone.
I don't post much anymore but Parker's recent change in behavior has lead me back since I am a little stumped as well as concerned. (Posting in this section since he was cleared of any health issues)
About a month ago, a relative of mine passed away. The weeks leading up to it...
A few days ago I discovered the cats had fleas and tapeworms. Was off to the vet the following morning to get some Revolution and some dewormer. Both have been treated and are fine otherwise but they are drinking way more water than usual. I put water in Parker's food so he is rarely at the...
Ok, so Parker has been to the vet recently (had surgery) and the vet said his weight is good at 9lbs but to me, he feels too bony. I know I should be able to feel his bones to some extent but I hardly feel anything between the skin and bones. He isn't like, emaciated or anything but definitely...
The stuffed dog is 21 years old. He was given to me by an Aunt that passed away several years ago. Its one of the very few possessions I have that mean the world to me. When I turned around to see Parker snuggling with "Buddy", my heart melted. I love them both with all my heart.
We went to visit Parker today and he is doing soooo much better! He will be home in a few days. My roommate had been wanting to adopt a cat from the SPCA for a while now but the cat she was most interested in was taken to a new home yesterday.
Today, after seeing Parker, we went to Petcetera...
I don't post a whole lot anymore, since it's been a chaotic year for me mental health wise, but I thought I'd ask for some vibes for my baby boy.
The day before yesterday Parker started vomiting. I thought maybe he just had an upset tummy and I waited it out until the next day. When I got up...
The phone rang this morning. It was the vet. Right away, my heart sank and I knew what she was calling for...
Buddy didn't survive his battle with kidney failure. He was only 3.
Rest in Peace, Buddy. May you enjoy your time on the Rainbow Bridge with Sami.
Buddy threw up the other day and was walking funny. He looked very thin and just...ill. He looked like Sami before she died . We took him right down the vet. Yesterday they said he hadn't thrown up and was eating and seemed okay but they wanted to run tests. Called today and they said his...
Sigh. Some people have cats, never take them to the vets and hardly care for them and they go through life with no issues until its time to cross the bridge.
I rescued Parker from near death and have had nothing but problems with his health from day one. I think I've spent more on vet bills in...
DSLR quality pictures now. Not the greatest lighting but he won't cooperate with me.
Resting on his "spot" that now holds my TV. Can see his broken tooth there from when he had his URI just before I rescued him. He sneezed so hard, he hit his mouth on the floor.
Yes, that's a bald spot...
I searched and found a very short thread on stool size and I found too wide a variety of answers doing a google search, so I thought I'd ask here and hopefully get a clearer answer...
Some of you may remember my other thread about Parker having small, hard stools and being constipated. I've had...
Hello Pam,
I have an 8 year old male cat. About 3 years ago he had fleas for the first time, which freaked him out terribly. The itching made his skin roll, he would thump his leg on the floor and he would run and hide. It took me almost 2 weeks to realize the fleas were causing this. I got him...
So Parker ended up puking his guts up from the Clavamox he was on for his bladder infection. I went today and exchanged them for Baytril. I am to give him 1/2 a pill once a day. The receptionist told me to give it with food, however a few sites I am checking out about the drug say not to give...
I noticed Parker hadn't peed in his litter box for almost 2 days...I started freaking out thinking he had a blockage. I went to investigate and found he had been peeing in the closet in the spare bedroom. It was brownish tinted. Immediately called the vet. She is keeping him overnight. She asked...
Had some fairly impressive storms roll through yesterday. The last one of the day produced pea to golf ball sized hail over the area I live in. Probably the biggest hail stones in 30 years or so. My friend and I played "storm chasers" and went to take pictures. Since this weather is slightly...
After a loooong search, I finally got Da Bird (thanks nerdrock!). I think Parker approves of it. He gets some good height for a cat that rarely jumps. (Sorry for the dryer noise. Thought about just putting music over it, but got lazy).
About 6-7 years years ago, I saw the commercial for the Canon Rebel. At the time, it was VERY expensive. I dreamed about owning it but never thought I would see the day.
I started to get into photography quite a bit and got my first "fancy" point and shoot camera. Was the best 250 bucks I had...
Just had to stop by and complain this morning.
Its pouring raining, I woke up with a really sore throat and feeling like a bag of poop in general, we are 3 people short at work so I can't even stay home and try to feel better and Parker decided last night was the perfect night to wake me up...
Parker and Roxy stare at each other in the windows on a daily basis. They let her out today and she came to visit. I love how Parker chirps and stuff at her.
