    I'm 16 and need help with my cat :(

    There is a litter called Cat Attract I used and it worked and I have heard others say it works too.  Ask your parents if she could stay in your room with a new litter box and the litter I mentioned.  Also there is a wonderful product called Feliway.  Now it isn't cheap but if you need help maybe...

    Need help finding a good litter

    I was using Worlds Best Cat litter and it was very good at controlling odor but their was a lot of dust and even though it is corn it can't be good for kitties to breath that in.  So I switched to Blue Buffalo Naturally Fresh.  It is 100% natural made from walnut shells.  Excellent odor control...

    Cat Seems to have a hard time Peeing...

    My friend just lost her cat because he had crystals and became fully blocked.  She took him to the vet and changed his diet and bought a water fountain for him and he was doing so well she decided to stop giving him his subQ fluids and he became fully blocked.  They wanted 10k to do the surgery...

    15 year old stray cat in shelter in NYC. Owner was evicted.

    It really breaks my heart to think of her living to this age and to end up dying in a shelter of all places.  I think of her owner and how well she cared for her and the other cats.  Imagine losing your home is bad enough but having to take your pets to a shelter is unspeakable agony.

    15 year old stray cat in shelter in NYC. Owner was evicted.

    I should have posted this sooner but I didn't think of it.  I belong to a black cat group on facebook and this came across the list the other day and I can't stop thinking about her.  I live in Colorado so there is no way I could get to her and even if I could my senior kitty won't live with...

    7 month old cat panting from apparent heat - what to do?

    There are mats to keep dogs cool. Maybe you could look into something like that and a fan.

    My dogs hurt a stray kitten. Please help me.

    Where are you located?  It could be a sprain but without having an x-ray done there is no way to tell.  If you wait to long and it is broken they will not be able to fix the leg.  I am wondering if there are any low cost clinics in your area.

    Can a cat carry kittens through a spay surgery?

    False pregnancy?  It happens with dogs how about cats?  How well do you know the vet that spayed her?

    My dogs hurt a stray kitten. Please help me.

    It is very possible that the kitten has a broken leg.  He really needs to see a vet.  Are you able to take him a vet?

    What are you feeding him and when was he last vaccinated?  Have you used any flea/tick products or heartworm meds recently?

    Cat diarrhea?

    Was a fecal done when you took him the vet?  If so and it came back normal it certainly could be the antibiotics.  Antibiotics deplete the good flora from the digestive tract and it needs to be replaced with probiotics.  You could get a can of organic pumpkin or sweet potatoe and give him a tiny...

    Constant Vomiting

    One more thing if you haven't done it already.  I would do a thyroid test.  Check T3, T4 and T5 if at all possible.  We don't hear much about T5 and there are only very few labs that are able to run this test.  One is Hemopet which is Dr. Jean Dodd.

    Constant Vomiting

    One problem with processed foods is that it takes the body a long time to breakdown and digest the food.  As cats mature it becomes increasingly difficult for them to absorb protein from the years of their body having to work so hard to breakdown and absorb the processed foods. That is the...

    BooBoo's 6 Month Blood Work and X-rays

    She has had Isoflorine in the past for all her dentals so she was completely out.  I need to get more info from the other doc to ask what he uses but I think it is a conscious sedation similar to ketamine but vets no longer use ketamine because of the dangerous side effects. I am leaning...

    BooBoo's 6 Month Blood Work and X-rays

    No its the first vet that doesn't have an x-ray machine and he is the one that doesn't put them out for the dental. I started taking BooBoo to him in October and I really like him but I am not sure how complete the dental will be without the x-rays. I guess my question is how comfortable are...

    BooBoo's 6 Month Blood Work and X-rays

    We have moved around a bit so she has had a few different vets.  The one thing I know for sure is that she usually averages a dental every year.  She does have teeth issues.  The last dental she had was at a 24 hour Animal ER that I worked at and I will never go back there.  Lots of bad...

    BooBoo's 6 Month Blood Work and X-rays

    Thanks!  She actually has had a dental almost every year since she was 3 years old.  When she was 9 days old a little boy threw her against the wall and it caused a lot of damage to her face.  She is actually as cute as a bug but looks kinda different.  Well because of that it caused the roof of...

    Completely lost with kitten's erratic behavior

    Yes!  I think he is fantastic.  He talks a lot about enrichment.  Though he does make the owners take their cat to the vet first to rule out anything medical.

    Completely lost with kitten's erratic behavior

    I have no idea where you live but have you ever watched the Cat Whisper on TV?  It might be worth contacting Animal Planet and checking it out since this is kind of a unique situation.  Or perhaps catch some of his shows on Animal Planet.  I have seen him do wonders with aggressive cats.  One...

    Squamous-Cell Carcinoma on the nose - what should we do??

    I am so sorry but honestly it sounds like you made the right decision for him.  In most cases cancer, unless caught very very earlier has a poor prognosis and half the battle is keeping their stress level down and their spirits up. I don't see how he would have any quality of life since loved...
