My 5 year old female cat is losing hair, losing weight, sagging under belly, having accidents in the house, and has started hiding herself under blankets. We do have a one year old and 6 year old and I have been concerned that she could be stressed but now I am wondering if it could be something even more serious. I'm worried.

Kitten that was shocked
Posted on 2008/09/30 by UserMy son and his roommate, in their second year of college, recently got a kitten that shocked himself by chewing a cord. My son is very worried because he says the kitty's gums are separated from his jaw. They have no money for vet care, so i am planning on driving up to get the kitty, but I need to know what course of action do I take, and how expensive will it be?

Gerber
Posted on 2008/09/29 by Michele SmithBack in May of this year we suddenly lost our cat to what was later found to be a form of pancreatitis. Our cat's only symptoms were occassional vomiting. Other than that there was no cause for concern. Our other cat (the sibling of our other cat) is now vomiting occassionally too. What are the chances of this being the same condition? The other odd thing is that after almost ten year Gerber who never meowed, now meow at night all the time. He stops if you pet him. I have palpated his belly and he does not seem to be in any pain or have any masses. Our vet thinks this is meowing (the way it sounds) is a form of loss or grieving of his litter mate. What do you think?

Help Why is he vomiting and what can I do?
Posted on 2008/09/27 by UserHelp. I am presently out of work and money is tight. Yet I need help. Our 6 year old cat has been vomiting up his food for 2 days now. He is a bit lethargic yet still seems to want to eat and drink. Just doesn't hold it down. He does not seem to be in pain. I have isolated him from the other 2 cats into a room with his own litterbox and I monitor his food, water. My last two attempts at food were first, an invalid's mix of pureed boiled chicken livers and rice. When he vomitted this, about 8 hrs later I tried baby food--chicken--that he vomitted within an hour. I am worried. It is late Sat. afternoon and no vet is open even if I could afford it. What should/can I ...

Small cluster of lumps under the skin
Posted on 2008/09/25 by John UHi, I have a 10 yr old unspayed female cat who, though not showing any other symptoms, has a strange growth under her stomach. The growth is about two centimeters long and one wide running along the underside of her stomach just under the skin. It seems to feel only loosely attached, and has the consistancy of a patch of hard fish eggs, i.e. small pellets grouped together one layer thick. She seems to have no other symptoms for now, so.. anyone have an idea what this might be? Thanks, John

Sick Cat
Posted on 2008/09/24 by Anita BeesonWe have a 14 year old male cat who has been throwing up every day for the past couple of weeks. When he throws up, it sometimes contains hairballs, sometimes it is partially digested food or just liquid. We have been grooming him daily as well as at least twice a week giving him Laxair. Could you please advise what we need to be looking for or any other symptoms? (When we contacted our vet, he recommended the grooming and Laxair, but things do not appear to be getting any better.) Thank you, Anita Beeson atb053092@aol.com

Dragging water dish
Posted on 2008/09/24 by Kristen KenfieldMy cat has recently started dragging her water dish across the kitchen tile, and will often try to drag it over the small ledge at the doorway to tip it over. She does this even when I have just washed and put fresh water in her dish. She also has recently taking a liking to me putting ice cubes in her water. That is fine but the dragging is driving me crazy as she does it all hours of the night & day. Why is she doing this?
