Putan Bare Scheherazade AKA PuBare, is approaching, with curiosity, his upcoming 15th birthday and the chance of a few more treats. "Dad, it's time for my haircut".  . 

So, the Vet says this is not a true prolapse and there is nothing to be done. Stitching would likely do more harm than good. But it seems the Vetamycin(?) I've been cleaning her butt with is just the right thing and if she stays on soft food (her stool is kind of hard so I'll be giving her some...

I feel bad that I come here whenever there is trouble in my cat family but I've gotten some good direction here. Of course, I have a Vet and I will have him treat this but sometimes it pays to be an "informed consumer". My 15 year old runt cat has about 1/2" of her colon(?) poking out. I took...

Thank you. I will ask my Vet to look into this and/or ask him to treat for thyroid condition. He's not regaining any weight.  I'm giving him his cortisone dose every other day as instructed. He's still very active and happy and eating anything he can get his paws on.

Here is the product  I don't think it's in the UK though. I got mine at Petsmart and then I bought bulk from Amazon.

PREDNISONE 5 mg. tablets take 1/2 tablet (2.5 mg.) every 48 hours for 60 days (fully use all 30 tablets) ...and my tip. There is a treat called OH NO! HAIRBALL. It is big enough, soft enough and tasty enough that I just hide the pill inside and they scarf it up without a word or meow. I've...

The tests are back. His blood sugar is low. My Vet says he has never seen this condition in a cat, just dogs...but it might be that he is "starving" even though he is eating. The treatment is a regimen of cortisone, I'll pick it up tomorrow. Otherwise, his tests show normal.
