My 5 year old female cat has her first UTI and it's a doosy. The vet says it's FLUTD and was most likely caused by stress. She has been seen and treated 3 times by the vet and it's still sticking around. The last time we went to the vet he suggested Hill's Prescription food. Which is honestly...

I too am going through a similar issue with a 5 year old female cat. It is very frustrating. I have found some natural type things I am willing to try but I definitely would not without the okay of my vet. I think sometimes cats just have a pretty bad infection that gets hard to shake. My cat...

It almost sounds like the hairball gagged her and when she gagged it up up the food just happened to pop up with it because she had just ate and everything. I don't think it's any cause for alarm.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I would personally wait until Thursday to see what the tests say and make my decision from there. Losing a friend is never easily, no matter how old they are. It is sad when a younger one passes but when put up against the thought of them having to...

I've never experienced this problem but from reading your story it seems as though it would be rather normal. He's just coming back around slowly. Sometimes even humans get knocked down by a sickness and just need a little extra time kicking it. I would just take it one day at a time as he seems...

I am really late to the update here but I wanted to thank everyone for their stories and input. I also wanted to update my own story in case anyone else is having this done and is also as worried as I was. My cat did great through the surgery! She licked her bare gums like crazy after trying...

Edit: Meant to say 'doing' not 'thinking'. Haha. Also, allergies can effect your cat at any time even if they are strictly indoors. All my cats are strictly indoors and my one cat still does experience the allergy sneezes. So it could very well be something super simple like that.

I'm not a professional but I honestly do not think it's asthma as it doesn't look or sound anything like the video with the cat with asthma. Also your cat is not breathing hard or mouth breathing. In addition, I have had 2 cats with URI and I can tell you that by now your cat would most likely...

Aww! Poor baby! My cat is actually prone to these ulcers so she is on meds for the rest of her life to keep them at bay but that's thankfully not the case with all cats. I'm kinda shocked your vet didn't at least give you an antibiotic to help get rid them. It seems like that is what has popped...

I do agree with the other posters of making sure you wash it off and following up with a call to the vet. I just want to add to make sure you use cat flea treatments only on your cat. Not dog flea stuff. It is not the same. Dog flea shampoo and dog flea treatments can and will kill a cat. There...

I can honestly say sometimes my cats do the exact same thing! They will ignore a pen on the table for days and it'll be sitting there then all of a sudden they zone in on that pen like they are going into attack mode ready to pounce and play. They will inch on it slowly because they are...

I think she will be fine as long as the medicine gets in her system. My cat is also on medicine for mouth ulcers. I was never told to actually have them 'shot onto the ulcer sites', just told to be sure she takes her meds. Haha. So I'm assuming this should be fine. If you are really concerned...

Every pet I have ever had has tried to "lick their wounds" after being fixed. I honestly have never came across an issue from them occasionally doing so either. I don't think licking will cause as much of a problem as say, biting at the stitches would. It looks pretty well healed up. I'd say she...

It sounds like he could have gotten into a fight with another animal. I'd get him into the vet. That is definitely going to be your best option. If he won't let you get close I'd try to get one of those cages that can help you trap a cat, luring them in with food. A lot of people do this with...

That's great news that she's doing well! Is it possible she was once an inside cat that someone let out? Or maybe she was scared the first little bit (with the trying to run) and now she understands that you just want to give her shelter? I have noticed the younger you try to bring the ferals in...

I will post more on my cat below if anyone wants to read the back story on the question but really I just want to know how bad of an experience this will be for my cat? She absolutely needs at least some teeth extracted, possibly her entire mouth. I have an appointment for her to get this done...

He's only about 2 and half months and he's not two pounds quite yet. He's a very healthy size and eats like he should but we've not reached two pounds just yet.

I recently posted about this kitten and now have another question. I took him in almost two months ago and he was about 3 weeks old then. I knew right off he had an umbilical hernia. I thought, "Okay, no big deal. I'll have it fixed when he is neutered." But it's gotten bigger. It's soft and...

Thanks for your help, everyone! The day I posted my last message I tried the combo milk, water and olive oil then later on one almost last ditch effort of stimulating him to poo before just taking him to the vet and low and behold, he finally went! And he's went consistently since! Cannot even...

Thanks everyone for your advice! I will try these things. If he does not go soon I'm definitely not against going to a vet for help. This was something I've thought about already and was just wondering if there were things I could try first. Not so sure I'd want to try to administer a enema on...
