Is it absolutely necessary for my cat's health to feed Royal Canin Urinary SO, or can I feed a store brand of Urinary Tract Health food? The vet has implied that the store brands aren't what they claim to be. My cat has had a blockage, and was on just regular food at the time. When I bought a Urinary Health type food in the store, my vet said "they can put anything they want on those bags".

Cat Soiling
Posted on 2008/12/22 by CarolineMy highly nervous Russian Blue cat has started urinating & defecating by my front door. He uses the litter, which he shares with his brother, during the day but seems nervous about it, even when I hold the flap open for him & encourage him. This is a new behaviour (a few days) which may be linked to my having had workmen downstairs fixing a leak. What can I do to stop him?

Cat has knot above shoulder
Posted on 2008/12/01 by UserI just noticed a knot right above my 8 year old cat's left shoulder. It's small about the size of a small gum ball. Should I be worried? She acts just fine and has always been very healthy and has been an indoor cat all her life. We have one other young male cat who likes to pick fights with her sometimes, but nothing serious. Should I have a vet check it out? I just don't want to incur major fees for nothing.

Urinary Infection
Posted on 2008/11/26 by PriscillaHi, My cat has a urinary infection and the vet gave him Baytril 68 mg, which I have gave 1/2 pill for the last 10 days. A few days after starting the medication he seemed to be doing better, not going to litter box as often and I was able to hear him pee when he did go. Tonight however, after giving the medicine I noticed the same old signs. He continues to go to litter box very often, every few minutes and only dribbles. I have been giving the Baytril with a pill popper so I'm sure that he has got every dose. I always wait a few minutes to make sure he doesn't spit it out or anything like that. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Priscilla

adding a puppy
Posted on 2008/11/11 by JoyCurrently, our only pet is a wonderful 5 yr old male siamese cat and we are considering adding an English Springer Spaniel to our family. The puppies were just born a few weeks ago. Should we consider a male or female dog?

Watery Eyes and Sneezing
Posted on 2008/11/02 by UserMy kitten is 4 months old and in the last 2 days he has had clear watery discharge from his eyes (mostly the left eye) and sneezing. He seems to be eating and drinking normally and is still playful although he is sleeping more than normal. Is this the start of an upper respiratory infection? Thank You!
