I have toasted Bendy every night since he passed
it occurred to me today that I wanted to also toast Butterbean.
the two of them didn't like each other very much, for the short time they knew each other so I think toasting them at the same time would be inappropriate. Okay, two separate toasts then.

Ishkur's symptoms are improving.
The vet who saw Ishkur has a lot of experience with CH cats (aka wobblers) and he stated that this is NOT a CH kitty. I have little experience with them so I couldn't say one way or the other. Ishkur has a symptom that reminded me a lot of my girl Mimosa, who had severe brain damage from an anoxic e...

Re: Ishkur in her cart!
HM.
I did not get a single notification that this thread had any replies.
Ishkur is doing very well in her cart, although right now she keeps pulling her feet up and using it as a hammock, silly cat.
She definitely likes being upright. Thanks again!

Trying to find wheels for Ishkur, CH kitty
Ishkur is the newest resident here at the Bendy House, she has severe CH and cannot stand on her own. I tried a regular 2 wheel cart for hind end trouble but she is so twitchy she keeps spasming out of the straps. A little time on Google and I found a sling design on a four wheel cart that looks sim...

THANK YOU MARK!
for the lovely calendar. I am actually thinking of giving it to my vet so they can display it in their office. They have a little figureine of a walking wheels dog there and I had to laugh when they asked if I knew the site.

Re: Help with recent cat injury
Did any of the vets think to check his heart? Sudden loss of hind limb control is also classic saddle thrombus. If the clots were not total blockages he could slowly regain function, but would be at extremely high risk for a recurrence. I had a heart disease cat whose blood clot in her leg was putt ...

Re: newly blind and deaf 10 month old cat
My girl Mimosa stopped breathing under anesthesia and woke up deaf and blind, and with serious coordination issues. I had to teach her how to walk. the sight and hearing came back somewhat but then she lost her hearing again. You can't really predict what is going to happen, most likely your boy wil...

Re: Kitten born with no tail/ unable to poop/pee on own.
HI! I have two of those. First, find a different vet, jeez that ones sounds awful. They shoudl at least be willing to look up stuff and learn to help you. I haven't used ex-lax, not sure how it is for cats. Mira lax, maybe about a quarter teaspoon for a kitten, twice daily should help a lot. There a...

Re: cat with nerve damage...
just got home and saw this. I have expressed huge bladders. Is it huge because she can't pee at all on her own, or is it huge because something is in the way? When my girl Cherry has hard stool, it makes it impossilbe for her to pee, and I have to get some stool out first. keep in mind a huge bladde...
