My cats play fetch as well, we also "bat" the ball back and forth to each other.  Two of my cats will entertain themselves for quite a long time, batting small balls all over the place.  When the ball ends up underneath a coffee table, for example, one of my cats will chase around finding the...

I have a furbaby, Dandy, who suffers from FHV, at least that was my vet's diagnosis based on her one leaky eye.  That was in November, 2014, and her only "symptom" was her eyes, which either had clear fluid, or white mucous dripping from her eyes.  It was not 24/7 constant, but I would clean her...

I do not know what would cause this to happen.  Looking at your pictures, I see what looks like, some tiny brown spots on her nose where she has lost her fur, and some on right below her right eye.  Do you have any idea what this is from and could these possibly be part of the problem??  I agree...

I am very sorry for your loss, and your medical issues.  I understand how you feel; quite a few years ago my Ex and I had a precious cat, Jasmier, that had breast cancer.  While she underwent a "mastectomy" and did well for a short while, but never truly recovered.  One evening  we noticed her...

What are her flu symptoms? Has the vet ruled anything in or out??  I am having difficulty hearing and seeing your cat; her "ongoing flu" has me more concerned.  What are you giving her for her flu?  If she is continuing to cough, take her back to the vet.  I am not a vet and not qualified to...

Thank you very much.  I did happen to find this thread about a week ago. I ordered Lactoferrin, which I received about 3 days ago. I also switched Dandy to "Now" Brand powdered, L-lysine (the same time I started her on Lactoferrin).  So far, so good; she actually seems more active than usual I...

I am sorry to hear of your fur baby's current health problem.  I am glad she is accepting NutriCal to supplement her caloric intake.  Have you tried feeding baby food?  Because of it's consistency, cats can easily eat it without much effort; it is also easily digested.  If you decide to try baby...

Has anyone at least heard of either of these????  ANYONE?????????

How is Fay?? I am curious to know if she was spayed... Many years ago I my parents had adopted the sweetest Balinese, Jasmier (she was two or three). They already had two young male cats at home, one of them terrorized her.  I had surgery during this time and stayed at my parents for a week.  I...

I understand your anger and frustration; please don't beat yourself up   Your beloved fur baby was sick, and you were upset.  When we are upset, very often our emotions take over and we do things or make decisions even though we feel in our gut it is not right, but having no where else to take...

While doing research on alternative remedies for FHV, I recently came across 2 products, Imuno-2865 and ShaNa Vet.  I cannot find any reviews for either of these products.  From what I have read, Imuno-2865 appears (or claims??) to be an Immune Support Supplement much like Maitake-DMG, which...

Hi, I was looking at some of Jackson Galaxie's Spirit Essences.  I apologize, as I cannot remember specifically which one, however, the jist of what I read was, "cats lay in their litterbox to surround themselves with their scent, it makes them feel safe".  A cat does this would generally be...

I agree. Best to be safe.There are too many variables; I believe it would be irresponsible for anyone not in the medical profession to give you advice.

I think that is something you should probably ask your Vet about. Theoretically speaking, the needle you insert into your cat is exposed to air, so would some air getting in the fluid bag make the fluid unsterile - I don't know.  I also don' t know if having air in bag itself might present a...

Not only did I have a terrible experience with Animal Samaritans of Palm Springs, they lie and do not properly care for their animals in my experience.  I adopted 2 three month old kittys in May, 2014.  I asked if the kittens were healthy. I was told  yes.  As I was getting ready to leave, I was...

I am glad to hear Ming is doing well, and thank you so much for your kind words. FYI (for your mom!!) steroids generally make cats more active and increase their appetite.  So if Ming is sleeping, it is likely because her body needs rest!!  Is  Ming's asthma getting better on prednisolone?  With...

I am sorry to hear about Ming   The first cat I had (many years ago..) had asthma.  He did not have what I would call a severe case, however every three or four months I needed to take him in for a methylprednisolone shot.  Last May, I adopted two kittens, in November, 2014, one my then 10 month...

I know you are tired of buying and trying new food, if Jack IS having a problem with the food, or developed a sensitivity to it, Wellness (manufacturer) makes canned food (they have fish flavors) that are grain free, the first ingredient is: "chicken, turkey, fish, etc." depending on what flavor...

My dandy girl (one year old) developed eye issues (runny eyes, and occasional white mucous) along with asthma when she was 10 months old.  I had a cat, Woodrow, many years ago with asthma, when she had her first attack I knew what it was.  It was far worse than Woodrow's ever was.  In the span...
