My little blind cat who has been the topic of an eating problem posted elsewhere was on my lap and while petting him I noted a small soft cyst below the skin just south of his left shoulder area. It is about the size of the end of my finger and is pliable within reason. The cat is not bothered...

This started a few days ago. My cat, a male about 3 years old was crazy about moist food. Could not get enough. Then as a treat I gave him some dry. Now he won't touch the moist and I have tried different brands and is not as keen on the dry as he was before. His weight seems to be stable and he...

My young rescue is about 2 years and a bit. I have no actual idea as he came from Cuba. He loves to eat and never gets enough. He eats 4 meals a day plus some kibble. If I am eating he tries to steal my food. Last night he ate a cooked carrot and parts of a garlic bulb. He goes poop on a regular...

I may have posted this before. If so, sorry but its getting worse now. My almost 2 year old male has a bad habit of urinating anywhere he thinks he can. He does use a litter box and its kept clean. He has no eyes and does not go outside at all. He uses the litter box to defecate and often uses...

I have posted this before and keep hoping things will change but so far no. 2 year old male rescued from Cuba. No record of him being neutered and two local vets cannot find anything to neuter. One wants to do an ultrasound and another wants to "open him up" to search for the bits. Both pricey...

My 15 month old male has a very fine darker pink line running along his gums adjacent to his teeth. The rest of the gums are perfectly pink. His teeth are all good and 80% of his food is moist with rest in kibble. I am starting to fear gingivitis although I have read this usually occurs in older...

I try to log in using the top right of the log in page asking username and password. Rejected. Go to the left lower side where it asks for email address and password. Rejected. Then about 5 seconds later it comes to life even though it said my log in info was wrong. This is nothing new. Been...

I adopted a young cat from Cuba. He is blind, has no eyes. He is not neutered as the Cuban sanctuary could not find the testes. I took him to two local vets and neither can find them. He is now about 15 months old. He has a habit of getting very rambunctious, chasing and clinging on to my wife's...

Little blind male about 15 months old waits for my wife to walk by and then attacks her lower leg. Sinks his claws in and hangs on as she screams. He likes to bite and tried to bite my arm but he realized I am bigger than him. Here is the problem. The cat has not been neutered because the vets...

I have a young male (about 15 months old) that came to me from Cuba. This cat is blind as he has no actual eyeballs. That is not a problem but his bad breath is. Its so bad that when he licks or nips me I can smell the stench on my hand. He is otherwise very healthy, had an export exam leaving...

I have a male cat who will be one year old next week. He was exported to Canada from Cuba. At the time nobody could tell me if he had been neutered or not. Some say no because his testicles could not be found. A vet here said she could not find them either. I have had him for almost 4 months...

My 13 year old female DSH started to limp a few days ago favouring her left hind leg. Today I noticed she is favouring her front left paw as well. I cannot imagine why although I feel she may have slipped onto the bathtub while attempting to get out of the window. She is new to me having only...

It has been a while since I posted. Sadly we lost Tom in November. He had been with us just 11 months but we could not do anything it seemed to control his hyperthyroidism. We spent thousands of dollars (gladly too!) on vet bills, medication and tests. In the end the vet discovered 6 big tumours...

Tom is a 12 year old special needs cat. He has hypothyroidism and on medication. His appetite is good and he drinks a lot of water. He urinates about 6 times over a 24 hour period and defecates normally once a day and always at the same time, give or take an hour. His stools have been pretty...

I adopted Tom in January. He was 12 years old and dumped by his family for what I think is a weak excuse. At the shelter they discovered he had hyperthyroidism but I could accept that. I have had many cats over my lifetime and I worshipped them all but Tom was the greatest. He has had a lot of...

Finally regretfully I will be leaving this site as I have too much difficulty using it. it took me about 10 minutes after 3 tries, to post this. It could be my computer but at the same time I post on numerous rabbit forums without problems. Accessing the site takes forever and even posting a...

Sorry but I do not know how to describe it other than that. About 4 times in the last 2 weeks my 12 year old neutered male  has a small cluster of what looks like a frothy/bubbly mess in his litter box and outside. It looks someone took a blob of dishwashing soap bubbles. He has hyperthyroidism...

Tom is just over 12 years old and I have owned him since December last. I think he was a typical tom with his previous owner as once darkness falls he wants to go out. I will not let him. He sleeps on my bed and about 4 am he gets up and uses his litter box and then starts to wail constantly...

Tom is 12 years old and is being treated for hyperthyroidism. He takes Tapazole daily and his T4 number is good.. After his last check up the discovered early kidney changes so prescribed Aventix KS twice a day. In the last two weeks I have noticed a bubbly/frothy cluster in his litter box...

When I adopted Tom he had hyperthyroidism and was put o medication to bring the T4 numbers down. They came down pretty steadily but the last T4 test showed he was now hypothyroid with his numbers being slightly below the normal range. The vet kept him on the meds but reduced the dosage slightly...
