My 9-lb guy Matt had an IV of buprenorphine at 0.04 mg per 8 hours at the overnight vet clinic and then received 0.5 mL of injectable buprenorphine at his regular vet for a 10-hour hospitalization. They released Matt to come home with me and prescribed 0.05 mL of liquid buprenorphine for me to...

I'm getting a headache trying to calculate dry matter basis from canned labels. I get the feeling that I am doing it wrong. My cats did not ask for a dunce mom. Please bear with me, for their sake. :rub: Is there a pinned thread someplace on TCS that breaks down cat food labels and dry...

Has anyone had experience with ferals that only come to eat in the middle of the night? Even with food withheld 48 hours, one of my weirdo ferals refuses to eat in daylight or hours of major human activity (we are pretty far north here so it is dark 16 hours/day right now). Worse, it seems to...

Hello from two spoiled indoor cats, a small colony of community cats/TNRs, and one slightly overwhelmed human! :wavey: I am a thirtysomething gal who has been privileged to share her life with cats since the age of 5. I'm not good at introductions or keeping my train of thought, but, hm...
