Hiya, When we came home on Thursday, our cat was making a funny noise. When we went to see him he was coughing and managed to bring up some foam. Since then he has still been coughing and sneezing but hasn't been sick since. He is still eating happily and going outside as normal, which is why we haven't been too concerned. However, the coughing sounds really sore. Is there anything wrong with him and is there anything we can do to help, or does he need medication? Thanks for you help

Dallas again
Posted on 2007/12/21 by lenetteIn just the last hour she has gotten markedly worse. She is in her bed but not sleeping. her eyes are open and she appears to be in discomfort, but unable to get up. I lifted her chin and tried to look at her gums, and when i let go of her head she just kept it tilted back and made meowing sounds until i pushed her head back down. It was awful to see. I've had cats all my life and i've never seen anything like this. I forgot to say that she has not had a fever at any time. Lenette

Odd sexual behavior in my cat
Posted on 2007/12/27 by kristinMy 14yr old neutered male cat has been, on more than one occasion, caught ahhhh....trying to "do" his housemate. The thing is his house mate is Purranha who is 5 and they have both been neutered since they were kittens. I managed to get a picture but i don't think i need to explain what could be considered kitty porn. (groan, sry for the bad joke). Omelet's regular vet has noticed a heart murmur and an enlarged thyroid in him, but she says that is not unusual in a cat of his age. He also has anxiety issues if I am away for more than several days. (I prefer to have my guys at home with a cat sitter, usually my roommate, whom he knows well rather than boarding...

Wobbly walk, falling over, weak back legs, walking in circles
Posted on 2008/01/20 by RoseMy 8 yr Burmese (neutered declawed male) has, for the last 1 1/2 yrs been showing signs of being dizzy or wobbly - appetite is good & he grooms & toilets normally, last blood work was normal, temperature is normal but he has this worsening problem with walking in circles, leaning against the wall, seems confused and dizzy and falls over from time to time, it's gotten much worse the last 2 weeks - saw vet today who says its neurological, probably something in his brain (lesion, scar,inflammation or tumor)I can't afford $2000 for an MRI - I'd appreciate any information or insights you can give & recommendations on what I should do?

My cat he...on his neck is missing some hair, but he has also got some marks, our maid disclaimed it might be bite marks or scratch marks. i am a bit worried that he is fighting with my other cat. but my other cat is really sweet, i know they play alot tho. roughly, so it might be that. i am a bit worried. his eye looks a lil irritated too which leads me to believe more that its a scratch or something. i have separated them and i told our maid to take him to the vet tomorrow immedietly. what might this be?

vomiting and weight loss
Posted on 2008/01/27 by UserWe are having difficulty in getting a correct diagnosis for my 13-year old Ragdoll Cat. Sassy has a history of Kidney issues since a kitten. Therefore we are constantly testing her levels. On presciption canned and dry for IBD. Recently started having vomiting issues again. Has lost weight. In December started periordically vomiting liquid with signs of blood. Had complete blood work done, urinalysis and x-ray. Kidney levels had risen but still okay. Rest of blood work and tests fine. X-ray showed one kidney larger than the other, which has been her history. Tried sulcrafate with pepcid. Two doses and she has sudden onset of diarrhea and lost her appetite. Stopped meds....

We found a stray...
Posted on 2008/01/27 by UserWe found a cat outside, and we're not sure if it was an indoor cat and an outdoor cat...it has on a collar, but not a name tag...how can you tell if it's an outdoor cat? It paws at the window and the door and it's friendly towards us...we're not sure what to do.
