So my 16 year old boy has basically a touch of CRF (early stage II), a touch of Hyperthyroidism, not enough to treat and may possibly have cancer someplace. I have never had cat make it this long before so I am really wondering about the various issues. One thing is that he has muscle loss in...

My 16 year old boy has suddenly lost interest in dry food of almost any type. Now I just had his teeth checked and the vet thought it was fine. He is eating wet food and, if I make him, he will eat the dry. The problem is that I have to back to work and he is hungry and I can't be there all the...

We seem to have found the problem. The second test came back, Free T4, and according to the vet it is "high" - So I will check the records to be sure but the doctor says that means he has hyperthyroidism. They are giving me medication and I will have to go back in 30 days to get a follow up...

To the mods.. I started to do a new thread as the other one is getting long. So my 16 year old Cat has been throwing up.. pretty constantly for about 3 months now. Last week I took him to the vet and they found nothing obviously wrong. There are still some tests out for thyroid but I suspect...

My vet has recommended that I give Gabapentin tonight before my 10 am vet visit tomorrow. Does anyone know WHEN tonight? I mean I was thinking it would last 8 hours. Does it matter? I had planned on giving my cat his - visit dose -- at round 7 AM.

I am becoming convinced my cat has GERD and I need to get him something to sooth his stomach. I have sent an e-mail to my vet but does anyone know of any natural supplements than can help in the meantime?

My 15 and 1/2 year old cat has been having issues for a while with his eye. It appears it is just one eye. He sometimes (typically when he looks at bright light) gets crazy watery eyes. It is clear liquid. He is fine when he is sleeping and generally fine when it is dark. Last summer it...

My cat is 15 going on 16 and it has been a tough year. Originally I had an appointment to put him down in winter 2020... but I failed to go. Then he got sick this summer and some medication seemed to make things better. But more and more I am having issues with him and I am having trouble...

My 15 (going on 16) year old cat has been very vocal lately and seems to want food all the time. I mean he is almost phobic about it. My guess is that he gets a sour stomach without it being full. So I got some probiotics and enzymes and some digestive support foods but I think it just made...

My cat doesn't have hair balls too often. I would say about 1x every 6 months. But recently he threw up hairballs about 1x every week. (last three weeks). My cat is 15 and does tend of have a sensitive stomach. He has been going #1 and # 2 normally but today he did an odd thing. Usually he...

My cat imho is sick. He has had dilated eyes for about 2 weeks and he seems pretty miserable. His eyes can be dilated but with light of almost any kind his eyes water. I called my vet to get an appointment but her first available is 30 days from today. That seems a little outrageous. Would...

Is it possible for a cat to have naturally dilated eyes? Perhaps due to living in a darker apartment all the time. I had a little panic moment that my cat always seems to have dilated eyes but thankfully, I take pictures of him, and I have pictures of him over the last 10 years and his eyes are...

My cat has very runny eyes. The substance that is coming out of his eyes is clear. But just recently it has gotten bad and he looks miserable like he doesn't want to open his eyes too much. It is so bad I have to wipe the eyes about every 4 hours. I called my vet but she hasn't called me...

So the whiskers above my cats eye seems to be growing low and almost in my cats eye. I am not sure it isn't causing irritation to his eye... I can't seem to push it back or move it into another position... I know you aren't suppose to cut whiskers but is there anything I can do to keep the...

I have mentioned a few times on here my cat is unable to be seen at the vet. If I have brought him to the vet... he has been very dangerous to me, to the vet, and himself. Pulling out two nails already. And this is the damage that we know about. It is a drag down fight and I fear that this...

My cat has asthma. In 2016 I got an Aero Kat and gave him medications. At first I cleaned it weekly. But, I am horrified to admit... I completely have forgotten about cleaning it... with everything going on - I just brain farted about it. I don't know the last time I cleaned it. I think it was...

My vet gave me meloxicam to give to my cat for hip pain. I gave it to him today but, I gave him less than the doctor prescribed. IMHO it was a tiny amount. I wanted to see if there was a bad reaction. Well all day long my cat has been up and about and will not settle. Normally he sleeps 12...

So my 15 year old cat has been having an issue with lameness in a leg. It came on rather suddenly. So I went back and l looked at his last check up Feb 2020. My memory of his health apparently wasn't quite accurate. I thought his kidneys were in good shape. But it says (with regard to the...

My cat has been limping badly for about a month now. I have been giving him glucomine by cosiquin. I have been giving the proper dose -- I had been warned that it could cause diarrhea - weirdly the only hint I had seen of diarrhea was a little bit of a smelly poo. Most of the poos have been...

My 15 year old boy just looks miserable lately. But last night and today he seems lame. Now, to be fair, he has been lame in this foot before (hind leg) and to be fair, I have probably been giving him too low a dose of Cosiquin... but he also looks... wobbly? Like his front legs keep...
