I've got a cat who had an inflamed gall bladder that had stopped him from eating.  Since it is part of the  same system I'm assuming that it is close to the same thing.  He got a couple of rounds of subcutaneous fluid and a couple of week course of prednisolone or maybe prednisone.  That was...

I once had a half starved kitten follow me home.  He had the same  symptoms and while we were able to get rid of the cold the eye discharge remained.  Had a specialist over 100 mi away do minor surgery to open up the ducts and while it helped some the problem still remains.  Just saw a post...

This may very well not be the cause but I lost a cat recently to a massive chest infection, so of course everything sounds like that to me.  It's at least a possibility. I hope he gets better soon, please keep us informed.

Great to hear that Mia is improving.  I can understand the hunched over posture being pain related but the shaking doesn't sound like pain to me.  Cats are notorious for hiding pain and will even purr when hurting. I remember you writing that your an hour away from any other vets.  Sounds like...

She's a pretty cat,love that soft gray color, looks soft to the touch.  I'm glad she's starting to improve.  Never thought poop could be so exciting, huh?  So they may give her steroids, are they just taking another stab at it or are they treating for something specific?  I've got a cat taking...

I'm hoping I'm not causing too much stress here but I'm angry and concerned.When I read the post where you thought she was going to die, my first thought was the vet killed your cat. Here is my understanding of what has transpired: Mia was sick at her stomach, Her vomit was an unusual color or...

Little cross up here, A remember you writing that they could cause problems with your furnace. I didn't use the quote feature and my answer was actually directed to gatsunokisu.  Sorry for the confusion.

In my experience urinary tract problems are the most common veterinary problems cat fanciers face. You have already identified one of the main problems, not enough water.  This has it's roots in the way cats get their water in nature.  When a cat catches prey, that meal is something close to 90%...

I agree, egg is definitely the way to go. I don't know if that will hurt your cats, but it isn't going to do nearly as well as egg lecithin will.

I've been away from the computer for a few days, it's so good to come back to good news.  He's a very lucky kitty to have found you. Yes, he's a very attractive little kitty.  It looks like he is very engaging. I think you found a keeper.

I'm very worried about your kitty.  There are allot of things that can cause these symptoms. I'm surprised that the vet didn't do x-ray first to determine what the problem was before surgery.  I have some personal experience with this, but I'm not going to drag you through a long story.  Did the...

Just made me think, Jackson sells some holistic sprays that may be of help.  I know first hand how frustrating this can be.  Hope you find a solution soon.  I don't like the increased risk outside either, but unless you don't think he can survive outside, making him to be an outside cat is far...

Igmu89 Went over your post again and thought of something.  We have a cat who quit eating recently.  His problem was feline acne on his chin which made it hurt when he chewed.  He to was given clavamox but it didn't clear it up.  Only thing that worked was scrubbing vigorously with betadine on...

Emily: It's been 8 days since your post.  Is there any news?

Is there a problem for you if you use the flea bombs (foggers).  In my experience that is the surest way to get rid of fleas in the house.  Advantage or any topical flea treatment only works on the fleas on your pet.  You can use the sprays or powder in your house.  The only problem is if you...

Have you tried Doxepin(anti-anxiety drug)? Lets assume for a minute that there isn't anything physical causing this.  I have a cat that I adopted because he was being abused in the neighborhood my father lived in.  He was semi-feral, you could get close to him and give him food but if you...

I'd think you might have problems with a inflatable pillow and cat claws.  There is a neosporin with pain killer that is also anti-itch.  That might help.  If he is strictly an indoor cat you could hobble his rear legs. A couple of problems come with that solution: You'll need to keep him...

There are sprays for carpets and furniture. I believe Zodiac makes that also. If not, there are plenty of other brands. I also remember seeing powders.

I had a cat that ate a piece of carpet thread once.  He ran around the house with his poop chasing him.  When we finally stopped laughing long enough to catch him we cut it at his anus.  Didn't try pulling it, I've heard that is very dangerous.  He passed it next time.  I don't know how...

This may not help at all but it's the only thing I can think of.  Could it be gall bladder?
