Hello - I apologize, I'm not clear as to what that is on the front seat of your car? Can you explain a little more what happened with your cat?

I think it's one of those hard backpack style carriers with a clear bubble window for the cat to look out of.

Was this trip to the vet hospital recently? Is the cat being treated for cystitis now? Do you have specific questions or concerns?

Hi katocats !

Glad to hear Komeres has recovered.

I wouldn't have been keen to use Loxicom either...with a cat experiencing urinary issues. Yes, it's a wonderful pain controlling drug - but, it needs to be 'flushed' out as soon as possible, because it's toxic to the kidneys. It's excreted in urine only.

Is she still on it? How often do you give it?

The keys to preventing Cystitis are the use of wet foods and the elimination of stress in the cat's environment. (there are lots of practical things that can be done to reduce/eliminate environmental stressors - if you're interested, post back!)

[If you are a reader, there's a good plain-language piece on Cystitis by a wonderful cat Vet....it's in the early part here.]

How old is she/are they now?

You know.............we never reject pics here

hi white shadow komere is 8 she lost her sister ziggy at three year old ,and thats when she started stressing and having issues ,she wouldnt stop looking for he sister and she screamed the place down and she over groomed herself which caused her fur to fall out ,, we got a boy kitten 6 months later and the day zues arrived komere stopped all this ,,,komere doesn't like changes and lately our life has had a few changes and i think this is caused komere to be stressed,, other than that komere is a chill out cat , ,we also dont feed komere dry food ,and komere was only that med for 4 days and we have read up on cystitis ,thanks for all you help
