I have a 7 year old orange cat and we recently lost a senior cat. We want another pet and thought this might be a good time to try a dog. I havent had a dog since I was a kid though. Anyway, as we start to find dogs we think might be a good fit, the more terrified I get. We are going to go look...

I've posted on here recently about my cat passing, thanks everyone for the support and words of advice. It's only been just over a week. The first week I was wreck, breaking down crying and feeling empty and lost. But this week I feel oddly normal and it's really bothering me. I feel so...

I'm not sure how many believe in signs from your pets but I do after losing my first cat five years ago. The day after my cat was cremated, I saw the light open up in the sky in a way I hadnt before and started finding white feathers in weird places. But cutting to present day, I'm so devastated...

Some of you may have seen my last post about when to put my cat with kidney failure to sleep. She declined very quickly but luckily we were able to have her cross at home. But now I’m torturing myself because I felt like I let her suffer. After coming home from the hospital, we knew the...

I can't believe I'm writing this but my little girl is in end stage kidney disease. Her CRE levels shot up to 7 and we took her to the hospital but the IV treatment didnt help and her levels shot up to 11 a week later. At first, the vet said since she was still eating and had some spunk left...

My little girl, Chickpea, is 17 years old. She does have some heath issues like IVDD and hyperthyroidism. But those things were kept in check and she still seemed herself the past year or so. We needed to up her hyperthyroidism medication by a lot the past month and since then, she seems...

So my cat is six years old and while getting a biopsy for something else, they discovered this kidney values had gotten worse over just a couple of weeks (they were normal before) they tested him for a UTI but nothing came up and after a week, his values were still high. He's showing no symptoms...

I’m having trouble getting clarity on this, I’m not sure what the prognosis is from my vet, as I’m in a really grey area right now and they are sure exactly what’s going on yet. Anyone can lend their experience?

So we think my cat has had issues with his anal sac (sorry for the unpleasant imagery.) He has long hair and often gets dirty when using the litter box, even when we have his hair clipped. And he's had issues with soft stools before. We've had him checked out by the vet and he prescribed fiber...

So my cat, 15 yr old female, has hyperthyroidism and has had issues lately with passing hairballs. We got a new cat last year and he sheds a lot so not sure its that or something going on with her stomach. But last night was the worst episode. She was again struggling to get a hairball out and...

My new cat is still adjusting to my home and my resident cat. He is still separated from resident cat during the day and we let him out at night when we can supervise. We've been letting them interact for longer and longer. And now, he seems really pushy with her. Alwways getting in her face...

so we have one resident cat and we got a new cat about 2 weeks ago. We started off getting them used to each other’s scents and then started introducing them to each other by letting the new cat out and supervising them for about an hour. This weekend we have left the door open so they aren’t...

Hi, I had my beloved cat pass away late October and I felt like I might have been ready to take on a new cat and thought my current cat might be missing her brother. She has been meowing a lot at night. Although I don't know what it means for sure and it could be that she wants extra food. (We...

My cat all her life has had some sort of skin allergy, she bites her stomach and scratches her ears. it also seems to be seasonal, either flaring up when its too hot or cold. we've tried all kinds of hypallegenic foods and while it helps some, it still kicks off. has anyone had success with any...

So it's been 2 weeks since my baby died and I'm still grieving. I want to fill the void and adopt a new cat or dog even though I still have another cat. Like getting really obsessed with wanting one right now. I even found a cat that looks like my baby and from the description, acts like him...

I lost my cat last Tuesday. I'm in agony right now so I know I might sound a bit nuts to some but yesterday I saw some things which gave me hope. The biggest thing that is getting me is not knowing where he is. I asked for a sign yesterday morning and pretty much all day was asking for...

My 17 yr old cat has a lot of things going on, heart disease, CRF and thickened intestines. He's been declining ever since we put him on a chemo pill which we stopped 2 weeks ago. But we think the chemo pill made his kidney values skyrocket. He had a seizure last week and had a bigger one last...

So my 17 year old man has a lot going on, heart disease, kidney disease, and he has thickened intestines which we arent sure are IBD or cancer. So my vet prescribed chlorambucil and he has taken a sharp turn for the worst. For a week or 2 he was fine but then his appetite decrease, even with an...

So my cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism two years ago. He has that along with HCM so gets his blood work done a lot. Anyway, last year around November, after a cold his thyroid was too low. And since then we've struggled to get the right balance. Now, for the past six months or so, any...

We just moved to NYC and found a vet with good reviews. Most of them were more about good bedside manner than actual health though. Anyway, my cat (who has HCM and hyperthyroidism) has seemed way better since we moved. Put on weight, more alert and active. We took him for his usual blood test...
