Hi. It’s important to get a veterinary glucometer and test at home. Talk to your vet about it. They should be able to order you one and show you how to use it.
Hi. Your cat is beautiful. Unfortunately she is a white cat, so she can be at risk for squamous cell carcinoma, a skin cancer. That being said, in my opinion (I am not a veterinarian, just speculating here) it doesn’t look like that to me. But, still, keep her out of direct sunlight if you can...
I give my cat Metronidazole aka Flagyl. I have it compounded through Wedgewood Pharmacy into a chicken flavored pill. It is much easier to give than the liquid. I can hide the pill in a pill pocket or just give it as a pill.
I have seen the lactulose cause the hardening of hair and hair loss...
Hi. I am so sorry about the Vet situation. I worked for many vet hospitals over several decades, in emergency, specialty and feline only hospitals. There are some good ones out there, but it seams like they are getting harder to find.
There was a big shift in attitudes after COVID. I had to...
Oh, that is tough, with neither one being your cat. Do you know if either cat has been spayed or neutered? There isn’t much you can do to deter the one cat and not the other. Unfortunately, being outside there are far more dangerous things than other cats to cats.

Often times...
Hi. It is not normal for a cat to drink like that. That is a huge red flag, as is the unkempt coat and the weight loss. She needs to see the vet and have bloodwork done. Make sure they check her thyroid as well.
Hi. Cats can and do block after a PU surgery. I don’t know why they would have done one right away. It is usually a last resort procedure.
Do you know why he was blocked?
It is vital he be on a prescription canned diet. Who told you he didn’t need it?
You have to try your best to get him into...
Well, that is disturbing. I wish I could help more. Yes a cat can carry a dead baby for quite some time. I think, even though she seems fine, she needs to be seen.
Remember, cats don’t show any signs of discomfort and pain. You thought she was fine when you were home with her, but she really...
When I got one of my cats who was feral, my bf was less than pleased. His house. One day he mentioned that the cat was “useless”.Instead of fighting with him I asked him why he felt that way. He explained that the cat would run from him and she wouldn’t go near him. He never chased her. He did...
