my cat is apx 14-17 yrs old. i think she has dislocated her back leg (from the hip). she is not able to walk, or stand, but the foot is fine and she can move it. however, now she is not going to the bathroom either. no pee or poo since yesterday. i believe she is in a ton of pain. can you please tell me how much a visit like this would cost? can anything be done for her without a traumatizing visit to a vet hospital?

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011My boyfriends cat has tapeworms. I am moving in with my animals.

Cat with swollen paw concerns me. Ideas?
Monday, August 9th, 2010My cat’s paw suddenly swelled up and she cannot walk on it. There is no blood. She is not licking it but she cries if we come near her or try to touch her paw. We need to have a vet see her asap and will bring her in tomorrow.
Can I do anything in the interim?

When my cat is stressed, she pees blood.
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010My cat has a history of peeing blood when she’s stressed. This time it’s been going on for a long time. Being picked up stresses her majorly. I’m contacting a house-call vet to come out and visit her but I wondered if anyone else has had a cat with the same problems.

Is my cat’s behaviour physical or behavioural? His life depends on your answer
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Okay kind of a long story- i have a two year old neutered male cat. I have a male and female from the same litter and they have been inside since we got them at 6 weeks old. He swllowed a piece of elastic and the vet at seal laird did surgery and removed it. It is a very sweet cat and he is very attached to me. He is a big boy at 17 lbs. His problem is he runs through the house defecating . He will leave the litterbox from urinating and run full blast through the house pooping. I have taken him to every vet within a 30 mile radius and they call it behavior problem. I can not put him outside because we have two labs and two outside cats. The vets have tried prozac and prednizone and neither helped. He is up to date on vaccines and they have done blood work and x rays. I have 6 litter boxes in 4 rooms for two cats, with different kinds of litter and even newspaper. He will whine when he goes. I have tried the attract litter and I have had the floors professionally cleaned . My husband wants me to have the cat put to sleep as we can not even have people over because we are scared of what our cat will do. i have approximatley a week to fix this or that is what will happen.
If it is behavior , I can’t fix it. If it is some sort of physical issue, I want to help him.
Any questions-just let me know.
Thanks

My fat cat is on a diet but is still not losing. Help!
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010My 7 year old spayed female cat is huge. We put her on a special diet but she’s only lost half a pound so far and still has five more to go. Despite carefully watching what she eats, she’s not really losing.
Do you have any tips or suggestions for us? We’re at our wits end!
Sincerely,

Cat with chronic constipation. What can we do?
Sunday, June 20th, 2010Our cat has had chronic constipation with very hard and dry feces. Our vet gave us stool softeners that work most of the time, but even then the cat still has ‘episodes’.
Do you have any clue why this might be happening even with stool softeners?
Is there anything else that we can give him to make him regular and prevent this from happening?

Older cat with hyperthyroidism. Having problems with regular medication
Sunday, June 6th, 2010I have an older calico cat and I recently brought her to my veterinarian for her annual checkup. She had lost two pounds from the year before and I didn’t even notice.
My veterinarian did some blood tests and told me that she has hyperthyroidism. He said this is very common in older cats and that she needed to start taking pills to control it.
I travel a lot and I’m not sure if I can give her the medication regularly.
Are there any other options?
Pat
