    Bladder Cancer

    To my sorrow when I went to the vet yesterday to have Mr. Topaz rechecked for a UA issue he had. When they expressed his bladder, they discovered a mass & after x-rays & ultrasound, they are pretty sure it is bladder cancer & my heart is just broken. He's over 15 yrs old now & I had no idea that...

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    My Siamese, Nicky, who is 11 1/2 yrs old, here lately has been vomiting up his dry food. My cats eat the Royal Canin Urinary SO wet & dry food as they have had UA issues in the past & this food seems to agree with them & prevents some UA issues. I normally feed the 1/4 can in the am & 1/4 can in...

    Regarding clipping nails

    My Raven who  has super sharp nails, is a real pistol trying to clip them. He's not exactly a very lovable, pick me up kind of cat & is very skittish & apprehensive & doesn't like to be held like the others. If he sees me coming, he runs & than I have to track him down & corner him to be able to...

    UA issues

    My rescued Cami from last year is still having UA issues. She's been on antibiotics for quite some time & was on Veraflox & now on Primor 120. She had crystals in her urine again so that is why she was put back on Veraflox.  In May she was on Orbax & finally the crystals were gone but she still...

    Cami's UTI issue

    Well, today I went & got her some Orbax antibiotic to start her on with a little Dex administered into the liquid suspension for any pain & inflammation. I sure hope this works. Because of the peeing situation, I've been keeping her confined to one room with just a kitty box, water & food...

    UTI's

    Took Raven in today for his yrly wellness exam, dental, bloodwork, UA, etc & he was not a happy camper at all as I was unable to feed him his breakfast & he's a real chow hound cat, too. Well, the good news is that he didn't need a dental so he could have eaten breakfast after all; however, the...

    Cami is now spayed

    Just brought my sweet little girl home today & she was so glad to be here back in her room & her comfort zone. The surgery went well & she's in the healing process & on antibiotics.  Until she's nice & healed, I probably will just keep her in her room just so the other kitties don't bother her...

    Cami just will not eat any wet food

    Cami, which is our new addition to our household & maybe about a yr old for some reason does not like wet food at all which really surprises me as every cat I have ever owned has loved wet food as well as dry. I have tried numerous kinds of different brands & different flavors to no avail. She...

    Not getting along

    Raven which is Nicky's actual real brother (they came from the same litter) just do not seem to get along at all. When I rescued both of them many years ago, I was planning on trying to find Raven a good home but since I couldn't, we decided to keep him. Well, Nicky was in the house & since I...

    Cami, the newbie

    Well, I was suppose to have taken Cami in today to get spayed but due to the fact that its snowing like crazy here, I had to reschedule til next Wed. I think she may be out of heat for now as she is not as vocal & doesn't seem to be doing the horny dance anymore so hoping she will not go back in...

    Cat in heat

She's one horny little girl & going after all my other cats that have already been spayed & neutered plus are a lot older, too. They look at her like, what in the heck is wrong with you? Plus, I don't know if...

    Cami may be in heat?

    Our rescued cat, "Cami" may be in heat as the last few days she has been walking around the house meowing at the top of her lungs. I've never had a cat in heat before as all my female cats were spayed at 6 mos & never went into heat so I'm assuming this behavior means she is in heat??? She has...

    Update on Chelsea

    Took Chelsea in today to get her sutures out & to reck her bloodwork. Her ALT &  ALKP are still a little on the high side but a lot better than the last time we had her checked. However, her T4 hasn't changed yet but maybe its too soon to have this recked. Will discuss this with my vet when he...
