Just talked to the vet a few hours ago and there was a misunderstanding. Vet originally diagnosed it as rodent ulser and treated it as such. Sent out a biopsy which came back negative. But the actual disease is not rodent ulcer it is feline sarcoid or fibropapilloma (fibropapilloma virus induced...

Thanks. Did not think of looking for a dedicated FIV+ group. I joined the groups and posted on one of the Facebook groups so far.

We have a 14 year old cat that has many issues including IBS, hyper thyroid, myocarditis, high blood pressure, and FIV+. She recently has been diagnosed with rodent ulcer and had laser surgery to treat it. A biopsy was done and it came back negative. It was healing but recently flared back up...

We adopted a new cat from a shelter named Roy. He is a one year old tabby about 11 lbs. We wanted to get our senior tortoise shell cat Lilly a friend. She has always had other cats around and after they had passed away and she was the only cat left she began to have behavior problems...

No, sorry. She is deliberately spraying in parts of the house. Often times near her litter box. All of this started when we had four cats pass away in a two year time frame. Thinking of rescuing another cat but not with this serious problem lingering. Should also add that in addition to HCM she...

Our cat Lilly has been having chronic urination issues in the house for about 4 years. She was on Fluoxetine but was still having the issue. Though it did seem to be less when she was on it. Started giving Amitriptyline about a month ago and we do not think the issue is any better than before...

Our cat Lilly was just diagnosed with severe case of HCM and has gastro issues as well. We are finally on the right track with her thanks to changing vets. She has trouble chewing and is in need of a dental but due to her recent diagnosis of HCM the vet wants to wait on the dental. We need a...

Our 13 year old cat Lilly with chronic constipation had to go to the vet Thursday because she hadn't had a bowel movement in a couple of days. The vet first did an x-ray and the x-ray was normal with the exception of her being stopped up with poop. The vet went in to extract the poop and also...

It is with great sadness that I report that Callie lost her battle with osteosarcoma. The SRT treatment worked for about five months and then the tumor began growing back. Must have been some cancer tissue missed. We thought about doing a 2nd dose, called a "boost" when we first saw the tumor...

It is with great sadness that I report that Fluffy has lost his battle on 07/14/18. On that day he was unable to walk anymore. His eyes still looked good and he was eating but was losing weight. Plus they found a large tumor near his stomach and a large lump on his upper jaw that the vet felt...

Sorry for the false alarm. I did not go with my wife to the vet Saturday and didn't get to ask questions. He does have a tumor by his stomach but he has also has had a large benign tumor right above his lungs for the past four years. Not sure if this one is benign too but it looks like a similar...

Just received some very bad news today. Took Fluffy in because his eating had begun to slow down again. Vet checked his mouth which is healing nicely. Kidney numbers were high but not much higher than they had been. Vet did an overall check up and felt a mass in his abdominal area. Did an x-ray...

He looks much better than this morning. His eyes look much more alert. He sometimes sticks his tongue out when he's feeling good. So I am guessing he feels better.

I was told they pulled out all of Fluffy's molars and one canine tooth. Cleaned the rest. Picking him up at 6 pm

Thank you everybody for the well wishes. The dental procedure is supposed to happen at 11am Eastern tomorrow.

Took him to the vet today because the issue is getting worse. Vet did a close look at his mouth today and he has blood by his back teeth on both sides. Vet said the enamel is wearing away and exposing nerves. Why this was not seen last time I brought him in I do not know. They will be doing a...

He is doing OK. I made another post Cat Chewing One One Side Of Mouth - Not Eating Enough about his chewing issues. He was prescribed Clindamycin and is on his 4th does. Can add grilled hamburger to the things he will always eat :)

I was told a true artesian well is 500ft down. Our water comes out 100% clear and tastes good. However, it does have a slight smell when it comes out of the spicket.

Think we may have found the problem. We have been force feeding him the past few days so he gets all the meds he needs and to just supplement what he is eating on his own. I noticed his jaw was spasming / chattering when chewing. He would try to spit out the food and start to growl when this...

Our very senior ex-feral cat Fluffy has a list of issues including hyperthyroidism, anemia, and CKD. Lately we have noticed he takes a few bites of food and then tilts his head to the right and chews a few times and then walks away. We have tried all kinds of patte, food with chunks in it, same...
