Would Pyrantel pamoate possibly be more effective for roundworms? Nemex-2 (Pyrantel pamoate) says it's 4.54mg/ml and per the directions(5ml/10lb) she would get .5ml/lb and if she is 6lb (I'll have to try and weigh her) it would be a 3ml dose for a total of 13.62mg. That sound right? Should I...

A couple weeks ago I trapped and took in a cat that showed up at my house and we named her Lily. We took her to the vet a couple weeks ago and found out she was pregnant. We believe Lily is due to have her babies in 3 weeks. She is small and the vet said she is maybe 2 years old. They had to...

My 12 year old female does a tensing and relaxing thing like lycan. She's done it for 2 years now. The vet had no idea and thinks it is nothing to worry about as long as it doesn't get worse. It is uncomfortable to watch, but doesn't seem to bother her. It's always when she's laying down or...

The position isn't technically the problem, it's that he usually doesn't lay like that this much and he often looks a little uncomfortable. Which is why I was first thinking his tummy wasn't feeling good. But he is still doing it. Plus I can get a little paranoid :paranoid: :nod:

I haven't noticed any trouble eating, but that might not mean much. I just took the video, so haven't showed it to the vet. It can be hard trying to get those few seconds on video. The polyps might be visible on xrays, but it would be $400 for x rays, so I want to make sure that's the best next...

Here's a video I just took a little while ago. Caleb shows his whisker/face twitch and also his bottom lip movement that I've been noticing. Usually it's just his bottom lip and there isn't the top lip action like in the video. This morning when I tried to put on his teeth stuff he seemed even...

I find it hard to tell if my cat is too heavy too. I know the one is overweight at 13.5 pounds last time I weighed her. She use to be 20 pounds, so she is at least better than that. She is a big girl (not just weight wise). The vet even commented on her size. My male is pretty long and is 12...

This is Caleb open mouth breathing/panting when playing with something above. And this is Caleb breathing. Sorry that it flips after a few seconds. I've looked at videos I have from 9 months back and his breathing seems pretty much the same as I see it now. And his sister, though older and...

The only real diagnosis he has at the moment is early kidney disease. The first vet said she heard a slight heart murmur, but thought it was just from his heart beating so fast from the stress of the visit. The second vet didn't say anything about it, but mentioned heart problems because of the...

Yeah, I've used that list as a starting point. The steak frites and one of the bff are the only ones on there that he could eat under .75. Bff is mostly fish though and steak frites are a little expensive. But I can use those once in a while. I've been checking the phosphorus of foods he can eat...

Caleb was diagnosed with early kidney disease. All his numbers are still in range for now. (Urea 21. Creatinine 2.0, up from 1.2 a few months ago. Phosphorus down to 3. And specific gravity steady at 1.017.) He's going to be 9 next month. The biggest problem is he can't have chicken, soy...

Hello all. Sorry, this is probably going to get a little long. In December Caleb (who will be 9 next month) was eating more, peeing more, energetic, and I thought breathing heavier. I had noticed when playing with something above he would open his mouth as if to bite and sometimes open mouth...

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm going to get a second opinion from the place where my mom takes her dog. We had a death in the family, so we've been trying to deal with that. It was very sudden and unexpected. It won't be until after christmas that I will be able to get Caleb in. They...

Thanks! Serena is the one with the hat :D Caleb is the one sleeping in my lap. Thats what calebs face looks like. And that is serena sleeping.

No other bloodwork done, just this. She only pointed out the alt and specific gravity ( which is why she said kidney disease). I was surprised of all the things she didn't mention ( like the t4 and rbc, etc.) I really am thinking about getting a second opinion and maybe waiting a little while...

Hello all. For almost two years I have been visiting this site regularly, but never joined. Until now. I first found this site after my cat Serena kept throwing up big chunks of mystery meat from her food (9 lives) and I began to wonder if I was taking care/feeding my babies right. Needless to...
