So, after a recent scare with my two and a half year old, neutered rescue, I'm seeking out ways to help him cope a little better with some changes going on. To help you understand, I feel I need to give you some background... We found him frozen on to my parents step in the middle of a cold...

He does have crystals, yes. They've given us metacam for pain/inflammation. So I picked up some of the urinary s/o food yesterday at the vet, tried him with it twice and he's not eaten it. The first time he licked it a bit, second time he flat out walked away. He's still pretty lethargic too...

They didn't do a culture I don't think, but the vet did say she looked at the sample under a microscope and saw that there was infection present. I'm not sure if it's the infection that's now causing the issue or the crystals/inflammation in his urinary track. Maybe I should try eliminating the...

I have a very sick kitty and am looking for some advice. My cat (2.5 years old, male, neutered) is having quite a battle with a uti. Two weekends ago, we noticed he was having some trouble with his pee, so last Wednesday we took him to the vet. After doing a urineanalysis and ultrasound, the vet...

Brought my poor boy (who is only two and a half) to the vet this morning, noticed yesterday he was licking his privates a lot and he seemed sore. Good thing I did, turns out he has a pretty bad UTI. The vet did an ultrasound, and drained his bladder with a needle. She said his pee was full of...

So far so good. She has passed a piece of it, but is eating and acting normally. Fingers crossed the rest comes in time. She seems completely like herself, and her tummy doesn't feel hard or full, so hopefully it will all turn out alright! :) Keep sending good vibes and prayers to us!

She just used the bathroom, but I suspect it's too early for it to be causing her any troubles yet. (she's only eaten it an hour and a half ago!) She's acting normally so far. The vet just said keep an eye on her, make sure she's eating and drinking, but to bring her in right away if there is...

I feel so stupid  for not realizing she would treat the elastic like a "tasty treat." I just really didn't think for a second she would eat it! I don't even know if she had time to chew it, it was gone by the time I reached her, I couldn't even pull it out of her mouth. I live in a very rural...

My small female cat is much like a dog. She likes to eat things she shouldn't . This is the first time though, that's she's done something like this. Tonight she stole an elastic band (the big thick kind that comes on broccoli) from the garbage. I saw her playing with it, and then approached her...

So I called the vet, can't get an appointment until Monday. On the up side, he seems to be a bit better. Yesterday, he was limping, but not nearly as upset as he was the day before- now he still wasn't his usual playful self. Today, he seemed to be walking fine this morning, but now he's...

True. I'll call in the morning to get an appointment, usually takes a couple days to get in to see a vet anyway... if he's feeling better by then I can always cancel it, rather than have him be worse and have to wait to get him seen. Anything I can do to help him out in the mean time? He's...

So I just felt him all over- he's definitely sore, seems like around one of his front legs? He moaned when I rubbed them (and not in a good way, it clearly hurt.) He doesn't seem to be limping or anything, but he's not running around playing like he usually does either. Should I make a vet...

He has been neutered since six months of age. 

My tom cat, who is 18 months old, has been behaving very strangely today. It started this morning when he hissed at our other cat (she was just walking by him) and now he growls whenever myself or my husband pick him up, and a few minutes ago he hissed at me. You need to understand, in the year...

Just thought I would let you know, things look to be back to normal this morning. Still pretty awful smelling, but at least it looks normal. Gave her some pumpkin this morning again, (and again she gobbled it up!) so hopefully she will be ok. I'm going away tomorrow until Tuesday for a wedding...

I gave her the canned pumpkin, I swear that cat would eat anything... I gave her a teaspoon of pumpkin and she ate it right off the spoon. I then gave her a teaspoon of wet food, too, in case it upset her tummy (though with some of the things she's eaten she must have a belly of steel!) Fingers...

That's just what she's eaten in the past several days! I don't know what to do with her, she's crazy over food. We put her treats into a rubbermaid container in the cupboard, and within a couple days she had figured out how to open it up (we have since put them in a container that has clips on...

Hello, My six (probably close to seven now) month old kitten has loose bowels this morning. Sorry I know it's gross, but it's not super watery- lets say that her stool was unformed and made a mess on the floor when it got in her fur. My other cat had a bout of being "unwell" last week, threw up...

So, I had the kitten to the vet today. She has gained slightly more than half a pound in three weeks since she was last seen (is that a good weight gain for a kitten her age?) . The vet seemed pleased with that, and said she's not over or under weight, and just to keep feeding her as long as...

I have a six month old kitten. When I came home today, she had her eye held closed. Upon closer inspection, her eye is very very watery. It's clear discharge, I don't see any puss or anything. I haven't heard her sneeze or cough, but it's running profusely and dripping off her nose. Seems to be...
