					I believe my cat has an oral tumor. In the past 2 weeks the bump under her chin has grown 3x the size. And I just noticed that she lost a tooth and her other teeth are turning sideways. She has also been drooling a lot of blood. As well, losing a lot of weight. So is here anything over the counter type of medication I can give to her to help her ease the pain? What are some ways to help with an oral tumor in a cat without having surgery?
Please help! – Kristin

					My cat has a lot of fleas and his medicine(frontline) isn’t working.
My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat and he sleeps in my bed every night. Lately I’ve noticed a lot of fleas on him, on my bed, and all over my room. There has also been salt like specs which are apparently flea eggs all over my comforter. I love my cat and I don’t want to kick him out of my bed! Anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this problem?
 
Thanks,
John

					My daughter’s cat (about 13 years old) has developed a large growth on his  whisker pad, most whiskers are gone along with fur in the area of the growth.   He is okay other than the growth, eats/drinks and does not seem to be in pain.   She took him to the vet and they said it is not an abscess and they want to do a  biopsy ($600) to find out what it is and if it is cancerous.  Do you know what  this could be?  If she does do the biopsy and it is cancerous she will not be  able to afford radiation, do you feel a biopsy is necessary?  They said if it is  a non-cancerous growth/tumor they could not remove it because it would remove  part of his face, plus I am sure that procedure would be expensive as well.
Do you have an advice????

					How do I treat a cat with a skin condition that doesn’t respond to oral antibiotics and isn’t mange or scabies?  Crusty sores on ears and head clear up temporarily with application of topical meds like neosporin.
