Hello, our cat had renal failure last August, we took "Teddy" to a animal hospital and they gave him tests and lactate ringers solution to get rehydrated. All the levels came back to just about normal. This past week, my wife noticed Teddy getting dehydrated again so she took him to the vet and they gave him more fluid and additional blood work. When she brought him home, Teddy was very alert and active. Now, he has not eaten for the last few days as we continue to give him the ringers fluid. The vet put potassium fluid in the bag for preventative reasons due to a low/normal range of 3.7. We have given him 2.5 mgs of pepsid twice a day, but still no appetite....

Urinary problem
Posted on 2009/01/30 by MandyHello.... My cat bled quite a lot yesterday when trying to urinate. I took him to the vet, who examined his tummy and his bottom and told me there was no blockage and it seems to be an infection. He gave him an injection and a course of Metacam & Clavaseptin. SInce he's been home he keeps trying to urinate and nothing is happening. He's pacing around and doesn't pay much attention to anything else. I'm concerned about him and scared to go to sleep leaving him suffering. Anything I can do?

Discharge from eyes in kittens
Posted on 2009/01/16 by UserWe have two kittens adopted from animal shelter 3 weeks ago - 12 and 14 weeks old now. They have seen the vet and been through a dose of Clavamox and then Gentamicin Sulfate for water eyes (and sometimes yellowish colored.) They don't water or have yellow discharge every day. One of the cat's was sneezing every so often and we were told to use the Gent. Sulfate as a nose drop on her (along with in her eyes.) What's the next step? Appetite is great, using the litter box fine, no diahrea, very playful. Thank you.

Is my cat suffering?
Posted on 2009/01/10 by MaryI have a cat that is about 13. For several months now he has been going down hill. First it started with him losing a lot of weight.

I feel guilty but I am also frustrated having to clean up his loose...

Cat's Claw
Posted on 2009/01/06 by UserHello! About 3 weeks ago my cat had a broken claw in her front paw ( thumb one). I took her to the vet and they took out the whole claw (under anesthesia). They gave me a bottle of antibiotic (ClindaCure) to be administered once for the next 10 days and charged me $125. Three weeks has passed by and my cat's thumb looks swollen and she almost cant use her paw to walk. Is this normal after this procedure? How much time it would take for her to recuperate from this "surgery"... I cannot spend another $125!! Please help!

My cat's odd behaviour
Posted on 2009/01/01 by UserMy cat has recently started rolling around the floor alot and arches her body when you touch her so that her rear end sticks up but the rest of her stays low to the ground. She will also drag herself along the floor with her front paws. There is nothing wrong with her legs as she runs around just fine when she wants to and she seems to be in no other pain. Why could she be doing this?
