I have a 19 year old cat. He is anemic as well as underweight. Due to his age, I am not going to do a lot of expensive treatments, ie: IV fluids to flush his kidneys and lower is BUN. Right now he will eat regular canned tuna, but not moist cat food. He will try something once, then turn his nose up at it after that. What can I feed him, that is moist and that will give him the nutrients he needs?

cat's diet
Posted on 2009/10/03 by UserMy 17 year old, 22 lb. balinese cat is missing most of his teeth and can no longer eat dry food. Canned gives him diarrhea and he doesn't seem to like the texture. Pouches all have gravy on them and all he does is lick the gravy off eat a few peices of the meat and then walks away and is hungry in an hour. So my sister suggested I start feeding him boiled chicken breast. Well, he of course likes that but now he is only moving his bowels about once a week. Is this because of the high protein diet? Or, should I be concerned?

High WBC in Dogs
Posted on 2009/11/02 by UserI brought my dog to the vet to have her teeth cleaned for the first time. She is a seven year old beagle mix. When they took the preliminary blood panel, they found she had a white blood cell count of 86,000. They also took Xrays that look normal. The vet suspects either lymphoma or leukemia, but further tests are needed to confirm which, if either, it is. Is there anything else it could be besides one of these two awful diseases? My vet keeps pointing toward these two cancers.

Sick Kitten
Posted on 2009/11/07 by UserWe have a 7 month old male nuetered kitten who has recently stopped eating and cleaning himself and he is very lathargic. We have tried giving him 2 different kinds of dry food and 2 different kinds of wet food. We also took stool samples to the vet. When nothing helped we also took him to the vet and the vet game him a shot for nausea and anti inflammitory and also gave us an oral anti nausea medication to give him at home. He is still not looking any better and not eating but he is drinking water. We have 2 other cats that are doing fine. It looks like it hurts his teeth to eat but we have checked his teeth and they look fine. We are getting very worried about...

Poopy Breath
Posted on 2009/11/25 by UserMy 7 year old, 9 lb., male Yorkie had a dental 3 weeks ago. His breath was fine and dandy. Usually his breath will stay OK for a few months before getting that smell. Anyway, we put him in a pet hotel last week and all went well. He was in great spirits and was the king of the palace for the week. I received many kisses when we picked him up on Sunday and his breath was STILL fine. Then, on Monday, it smelled TERRIBLE and continues to get worse. It smells like ripe feces like it used to when getting into the cat litter but we no longer have our cat. In fact, we do not have any other animals. His food has not been changed and he had his own food at the pet...

My 7 month old cats gum severely inflammed
Posted on 2009/12/03 by UserMy cat(7 months, 6.02 lbs) had very red and inflammed gums when I took him to the vet over a week ago. They gave him a steriod shot and Clavamox anitbiotic to treat it and told me this may be a eosinoiphil type food allergy. 3 days after the shot and the start of anitbiotics the gums were 90% better...no redness and a slight puffiness to them. I go back to the vet for the checkup and he clarifies it has to be the steriods that worked so fast and declares it is a food allergy. I change his diet slightly the way we talked about and today(barely a week after the steriod shot and first round of antibiotics) the swelling is back and starting to turn red. Call the vet and now...

Calico Mouth Problem
Posted on 2009/12/22 by UserI have a calico cat about 14 years old. I think she's in pretty good health - strong spirited, mostly good appetite. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to take her to the vet in probably 10 years or so because of her disposition with other people. She gets so worked up, the vet has to put on his big padded leather gloves to handle her, and it's quite a bad site to see my cat through such an ordeal. She has developed some kind of mouth/ear infection over the past few years on the right side of her face. It has really hindered her ability to eat and take care of her self. When she yawns, she cries out in pain. I can't touch that side of her face, and like I said, I...

Maltese Dental
Posted on 2010/01/04 by EvaMy 22 months old male maltese has a losen tooth in the back for OVER A YEAR now. I took him to the vet a couple times and he just told me not to worried and it will eventually fall out on its own. I looked today and it is still there. It is very loose and turning yellow but I'm afraid it would be bad for him to just pull it out? Should I just let him be or should I pull it since it is turning yellow.
