Seventeen year old tabby and white spayed female. Blood and urine came back normal. Weight is good. Coat is good. No appetite. Drinks like a fish and then spends the night vomiting. Any suggestions? X-rays showed nothing abnormal. Can't afford an ultrasound. Treating with metronidazole (sp?) a...

My little fellow Montgomery is six years old. He has EPI, IBD, and SIBO. He also has a urinary tract infection and is on antibiotics. Because of the EPI, his idea of the litter box is rather abstract...Up until the urinary tract infection, he was getting better about peeing in the litter box...

Has anyone had any experience with this, an oddity when it comes to cats. If so, how well did your cat respond to treatment?

I am fostering a feral cat named Lucille. My time is limited with her. Initially, it was thought that she was pregnant but she is not, so she is to be spayed and re-released. I feel badly for her because there is a nice cat in there and she's had a rough life already. The other cat we have from...

Six flat kittens...Holy cats! I've got them all splinted up but am looking for suggestions to get the little swimmers' legs under them where they ought to be. I've had a couple of good ones so far. Have any of you experienced swimmer kittens?

Our latest foster cat is a very poor eater.   We have tried Science Diet Hairball and Oral Care, Hill’s w/d, Solid Gold, Royal Canin Indoor, and Natural Balance Duck and Pea. None of the above would do. She will not eat canned food of any description, nor will she eat human food. She likes...

The kitten I'm hand-raising is eating KMR and is constipated as all heck. Its like he's trying to expel concrete cacti from his system and is in obvious discomfort. Mineral oil, which worked with the last batch of hand-raised babies, has failed him. Any other suggestions? He's eleven days old...

Its been a long process integrating April into our household. Now that she's amongst the others and out and about in the house, she needs to be vaccinated against rabies. Why? Because one of these days she WILL bite someone, and I want to make sure we've covered our bases. (I don't know why the...

I'm currently fostering two mama cats for a friend of mine. Emma has five kittens (Decca, Melody, Cole, Trevor, and Barry) who were born on Good Friday. She was living in someone's garage and was trapped and brought to us. Anna will have her kittens any day now. She was hanging around...

Against all odds, Montgomery turned three yesterday! Happy and healthy. He got a new, very deep basket with a pillow, a baby pink snuggle stick, and lots of nose rubs. I can't believe he's three already!

I was at Wal-Mart yesterday and you will not BELIEVE what I saw on the shelf... TENDER VITTLES???? Its back - in kibble form...But...WHY???

Bear continues to gain weight, though he still has a ways to go. His stool is solid (though stinky and he won't burry it...!) He drinks water and is beginning to eat more of the w/d dry food, which seems to agree with him. He is still mainly syringe-fed. We've put him on the Natural Balance Duck...

I've bought the odd can of food. I won't anymore. Thank you for contacting Pet Valu Customer Service. Attached are the ingredients origin and the manufacturing company for Performatrin and Performatrin Ultra foods. The ingredients used to make Performatrin and Performatrin Ultra foods come...

Awhile back, I installed a Brita filter on my kitchen faucet. I did this because my veterinarian said that she was seeing a lot of urinary tract problems in cats and dogs. These cats and dogs are being fed different diets and live in many different homes. She was wondering if it was something...

After giving me some good advice as to which cat toothpaste to buy, my veterinarian gave me the okay to begin brushing Montgomery's teeth. I brought home the toothpaste and offered him a little bit on the end of my finger. He was very interested, but he kept looking at me because he's not...

I met volunteers and Collie Ambassadors from this wonderful group at a local pet supply store yesterday, and thought I'd share this link with fellow animal-lovers: www.CollieRescueNetwork.com

A couple of weeks ago someone told me that adding Nutritional Yeast to a cat's food makes it more palatable. Any truth to that?

To Squeek, the Hyundai cat. It was pouring rain. My best friend went out to feed the colony, opened her van door, and you hopped in. Thus caught, you were vetted, your wounds disinfected, your matts removed, and neutered. You were supposed to be a TNR cat, but you came to live with us instead...

My cat Squeek! is eleven or twelve years old. The other day, my roommate discovered a softish lump on his chest, confirmed by a friend of ours. When I got home from work, I could find no lump, and the next morning, neither could my roommate. Fast forward a couple of days, and now his right arm...

I was recently given the gift of a copy of Jackson Galaxy's book Catification, which has given me a list of things I'd like to do that's longer than my arm...The first thing I've done is made a water fountain. I used an Aqua Clear 20 fish tank filter and a stainless steel stock pot, and it's...
