Right rear. I'm not removing his leg. He's a large breed which is prone to developing arthritis at his age. Yes we're using joint supplements. In any case we.have a consult with surgeon on Monday morning. This is the earliest. If we don't like what they have to say we'll have our vet do it...

Thanks, I looked through those earlier.

Great question. Some background, This type of cancer almost never goes into remission. The median survival time of 1-2 years includes surgery, chemo, radiation. A lot depends on how aggressive the cancer is. However, this can't be determined until the tumor has been removed and sent for...

After 3 yrs of battling FLUD which we resolved with a change in litter and a larger box our 11yr old Maine Coon was diagnosed with FISS. We're obviously heartbroken and trying to take a realistic perspective with regards to his life expectancy. We're probably going to have surgery but my...

When considering cats as a whole here are some problems with kibble only diets. - Low moisture. Cats aren't big drinkers. We don't want to put excess strain on their kidneys. - Excess carbohydrates which cause weight gain (diabetes), and can cause chronic gastrointestinal issues later in life...

Take a moment to decide how much $$ you're willing to spend to keep him alive and determine how much will it improve his life. You have to separate your desire to keep him around from his quality of life. At some point in the future the cat will let you know when enough is enough. You...

About 24-48 hrs they cat should experience some relief. I hope it's a one off for you guys.

I haven't noticed a difference in cat behavior.

We're going to try kitty prozac (not actually prozac) for a couple of months Based on previous X-rays, Ultrasounds, lab reports (blood/urine) he's not a cat who develops UTI from crystals. FIC is a really PITA.

We spoke about it. There's one in our area who will provide a virtual assessment for $380 but I'm unsure if they're going to be able to tell me anything I don't already know and prescribe irrational solutions (i.e. have our cats segregated to separate floors) simply because the that's all they...

They stopped breeding/showing a few years prior to when they passed. We bought from one of their last litters.

We've been using crystal litter since the two of them have been around 4 yrs old and we were thinking of going back to clay just for his box under the premise that he's associating pain with the litter. Do you think clay is still a bad idea? The cat has more windows, toys, hiding places and...

Unfortunately the breeder passed away prior to COVID. They had a good run which included being head of the CFA.

Understood.

Urinalysis and ultrasound. He has never had a blockage due to crystals. He has been on a 75/25 diet of C/D (wet,dry) and Wysong Uretic since February.
