    Sub Q fluid for cystitis

    Has anyone seen good results with subq's for cystitis? Miss went in for some today-I am frustrated with seeing no improvement as we are going on 2 weeks with this. Her urine is very concentrated so I took the doc's advice to try and flush the bladder. I am hoping between this and the buprenex I...

    Giving buprenex under the tongue?

    I am having a terrible time getting Miss to cooperate. I am trying to stick the syringe there but holy cow, she is fighting me. I'm trying treats, telling her she is a good girl, talking to her. It's awful. Took me 3 minutes to get half of her dose. I am trying not to stress this cat. But I...

    Our cat's health and OUR stress levels-how they affect each other?

    Since Miss has been dealing with this cystitis, I have been a stressed out mess. It is day 10, and she isnt showing improvement-she will have hours of great pees, then teeny struggling, sitting in the litterbox for 4 minutes trying. It seems to vary by day. The past two days have been the most...

    cystitis-no infection found in culture or in anything on urinalysis

    But she is still having brownish pee-am giving her water as much as I can and soupy wet food. Waiting on getting some feedback on the next step and some buprenex from vet-tomorrow morning most likely on the pain meds. Am getting her a water fountain, some urinary wet food, rescue remedy and a...

    Clavamox question

    So, I believe my kitty Miss might have a bladder infection of some sort. Her clumps have shrunk in the litter box until a few times they were the size of a quarter in the past day or so. She didn't seem ill, but I wanted to take her to the vet because she needed looked at. After vet visit today...

    Water intake?

    Hi everyone! I am wondering how much water a kitty should drink per day. I have been monitoring my cat's intake, and she drinks about 1cup per day, give or take. She is on mostly a dry food diet at the moment, and I am working on getting her switched to wet, but slowly. (She is 19 lbs, and...

    Cat poop, why is this happening?

    My kitty is IBD, and I posted on here on Sunday night about giving her an appetite stimulant. Since the appetite stimulant (1/8 mirzatapine), she has had "off" poops. First night, a runny mess. Second night, a *bit* firmer, but still soft. This morning at 4:00 am, soft but formed, but soft at...

    Eating slowing down again, what is this?

    Miss is an IBD cat. She has had some issues, and was on metronidazole (sp) for months. Her liver enzymes were over 500 during a senior panel, and we took her off it to see it if helped. Her last panel showed it went down to 320, and I just had another done last week where the results will be...

    Elevated liver enzyme question? Any advice would be helpful.

    My 5 year old kitty, Miss, has been having an issue the past two weeks about being fussy with her food, where I've had to switch brands twice, and then rejecting any food but freeze dried treats and temptations. (Which I was giving her like crazy to try and get any kind of calories into her. She...

    Post vet visit stress?

    My cat Miss got home yesterday after a night spent at the vet for a sedating x-ray. (We worked too early to drop her off, so she had to stay) Upon her arrival home yesterday, she was very, very stressed. Panting, breathing really fast. Granted, we had taken down our bed to help with her recovery...

    Bupranex or Tramadol. Need opinions asap.

    My cat Miss has a soft tissue injury in her leg. She had a sedating xray today, and we are picking her up in a few hours to get further results. She is a larger cat-almost 20lbs. (we are working on her weight) She has colitis, and with her injury the past two days it has been a bit hard for her...

    Trying to eliminate certain ingredients-I'm confused

    When I switched my cat from plain old Iams dry  (they also get canned) to a higher quality dry food, they all did fine except for my Miss. I started with EVO dry Ancestral grain-free diet-we got about 4 bags eaten and Miss stopped eating. I switched to Now! grain-free, same thing, three bags...

    Really need some reassurance

    I know I'm under a lot of stress with all of these visits to the Vet, but I'm having a hard time putting faith into what the doctor suspects is wrong with my cat. Miss, who is 4 years old (5 next March) drinks more than my other two cats-she eats primarily dry food though. When she pees...

    I/D dry and wet

    My cat is suspected of having colitis. Ironically, since I switched her to "premium" cat foods about a year ago, that's when she started having tons of problems like not eating, vomiting, etc. I was feeding her grocery store Iams in the orange bag, and though she had softer stools, she was...

    Suspected colitis

    Hi everyone, I have a cat, Miss, who is 4 years old. The vet suspects she has colitis, as she's had soft stools and occasional blood in her stool off and on her whole life. She recently had a bout where she stopped eating large amounts of food, and vomited clear. She also seemed to try and...
