Re: Please help..My cat Trooper stopped peeing...
Blood in the urine, then not peeing sounds like it could be an emergency to me. You might try finding a neighbor to drive you or calling a taxi or even a "pet ambulance" and go to an emergency vet. I know how it is to have a cat that's hard to handle. One of mine grew up wild and was neute...

need vet recommendation for northwest Riverside County Calif
I need a recommendation for a vet in northwest Riverside County, California (preferably near Pedley or Jurupa) that can treat an elderly manx cat with spina bifida, renal failure, heart problems (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hypertension, heart murmur), anemia, and other problems. My former vet has ...

Tuxedo (1990-2007)
My 16-1/2 year old cat Tuxedo died at home Thursday night, March 1st, just after 10 p.m. I had him since he was a kitten. In recent years he was diabetic and for the last several months he also had kidney failure and anemia. For the last week he was in and out of the new day vet and the night and we...

Re: Harry Cat (2004-2007)
Sorry to hear about Harry Cat. I've never had a Maine Coon, although I have had Manxes, but it sounds like he might have had a heart problem and there was nothing you could have done. At least you gave him three good years. Being all by yourself and pregnant and taking care of other cats in the midd...

Re: Plucky duck survives another brush with death
Ducks mate for life. When one half of a mated pair dies or is taken away, the other duck never mates again. I wonder where its mate is.

Re: Tiny horse is a big help to blind owner
The idea of using miniature horses as guides for the blind was started by a horse trainer, Janet Burleson and her husband Don Burleson, who is a well-known Oracle computer expert. In addition to training miniature horses for the blind, they also rescue crippled miniature horses, and have other full-...

Re: Kitty With Cerebellar Hypoplasia, Need Help Finding Chai
I had a cat with a balance problem. I built him a homemade cart that stood him upright and kept him from falling over but was too heavy for him to move easily. I used 1/2" diameter copper water pipe and elbow connectors and t-connectors, reinforced with duct tape, and casters to build a frame, ...

Re: My sister put shami down yesterday, tears
Antoinette (Toni, Shami's aunt), I am so sorry to hear about Shami. It sounds like you made her life happier by taking her for car rides and spending time with her. It is too bad you did not get an opportunity to say goodbye in the end. Did your sister say why she did not wait for you and chose crem...

Re: BAD news at the vet
How sad. I have never seen Cushings in a cat, just horses. The symptoms are so different in horses, dogs, cats, and humans. Is the thyroid cat hyperthyroid? I had two cats that were hyperthyroid, both initially with no signs of kidney problems. They were started on tapazole for the thyroid problem a...

Re: Where do I leave him?
You could hire a pet sitter to stop in once daily and take care of your cat. A lot of veterinary technicians at veterinary offices do this as a sideline. Or you could board him at your vet or other boarding facility. You can also set up a webcam connected to the internet, so that you can view your c...

Re: The joke's on the thieves
I have had garbage problems as well, but my bin is too big to steal, which is one of the reasons that I have it, rather than individual cans. I carefully seal all of my trash in plastic garbage bags, tying a knot in the top of the bag, so that it does not smell or attract insects or rodents. The pro...

Gertie (1991?-2007)
My cat Gertie died Saturday, January 13, 2007. I think she was about 15 or 16 years old. I had been caring for her since 1992 when she was already an adult cat. She had hyperthroidism and was on tapazole for her hyperthyroidism, but it was stopped when it was discovered that she had kidney failure o...

Rowdy (1985-2007)
My cat Rowdy died Thursday, January 11, 2007. She was 21-1/2 years old. I adopted her October 15, 1985 when she was not quite full grown. She had hyperthyroidism, kidney failure, non-regenerative anemia, something that was causing a high white blood cell count, and difficulty with her hind legs. She...
