Re: RIP my sweet Bendikins

i had been told a week and a half ago that he had maybe two weeks to live, probably FIP. so i knew it was coming, still, he had been doing so well, the fluid had gone down. they were thinking maybe is was soemthing else...and then he died.
I miss him every second that goes by.

RIP my sweet Bendikins

we had a great day yesterday
he woke me at about 9;30 this morning wiht his little "i need you" mew.
and started seizing.
i gave him his pain meds, a double dose, called the clinic and rushed him in.
i didn't even dressed. i was in my pjs.

my heart is broken.
i don't know what else to say.

you've all been great friends...

bendy is dying
they did an emergency ultrasound to see what was behind the fluid in his abdomen, ran all in house blood work
everything points to one thing...
FIP
the cyclosporin he is on is slowing it down. he is still happy. but its a week or two at the most.

something only people here would appreciate

Butterbean's hind end is almost as deformed as his legs. instead of a scrotal sac and a lil lump for his penile sheath he has this little knob that is furry on the top and has a teeny tiny penis underneath that just peeks out. Even when I express him, i've never seen the penis pop out, so I figured ...

Re: Butterbean video

he is growing like a little weed. he is in size one diapers now, the newborn size is too tight around his fat lil belly. and he is a wild thing, as lil kittens should be. love when he hunkers his head down and zooms after something. and being stalked by him is just ludicrious, well until he tries to...

Re: Dental Care for Senior Cats

An easy thing to do that seems to help quite a bit is to get one of teh water additives for tartar control. There are a variety of them available, I don't really know which is best. I think right now we are using one made by Tropiclean. Add a tablespoon to a quart of water. No one has objected to th...

Re: Cat aggressive toward dogs

about the aggressive cat i definitely agree with more vertical space for the cats. something that has settled down several aggressive cats here is a calming collar. IttyBitty had a bad case of torment the other cats, and the calming collar put a stop to it. it has worked with several other cats too....
