heartburn in cats

is there a common sensitivity to aeroallegens in shared environments?. [Review] [83 refs] Source Environmental Research. 109(5):634-40, 2009 Jul. Abstract Cats spontaneously develop eosinophilic airway inflammation and airway hyperreactivity that is very similar to human allergic asthma. In addition, household cats share environmental exposures to aeroallergens with humans.

All my cats are indoor cats. Indoor cats live longer and stay healthier. I do leave them out in the back yard on weekends for about an hour, supervised of course.

Revolution is primarily a treatment for fleas in cats and dogs but it is approved for ear mites in both.

I have always had houseplants and my cats never seemed to care. My cats, however, were indoor-outdoor cats. I think cats require an outside life, unlike dogs whose life is with their masters.

Drying herbs intensifies the scent. Like when you use dried herbs vs fresh.

) Its an amino acid that strengthens the immune system so they can fight off this on their own, its usually viral in cats... but if in doubt at all please speak to a Vet first.....could also be that she has a small particle irritating her nasal passage (?) for cats with an acute attack we use 500mg for a week, than down to 250mg following for a few weeks. and for cats its important to use the brand with NO additives...just pure lysine. I will give you a link to where I order mine from...

Btw cats get jealous ive seen it first hand. One reason i dont want to leave my babies in her house.

The good news is the prognosis for cats with Squamous cell carcinoma is much better than it is for other types of cancer. If the cancer is treated early enough, squamous cell carcinoma in cats is usually treatable. In most cats with skin Squamous cell carcinoma, the prognosis following surgery is excellent. It is promising that the affected area is small. It is a much better prognosis than for nose, ears or mouth!

what is the half life of oxycodone in cats? I've heard it works well for pain in cats. I'm trying to get more information on what may help my 12 year old cat. I'd like to have my questions in order before I pay my/her vet?

When we got Harley he was with a group of cats that were living in the woods. I was able to capture him and two others. All three of them had such bad teeth problems that after a time they had all their teeth pulled except for one cat, they left him four. The vet was unable to determine how old they were because of the poor teeth. I would think it would take maybe four years to have them get so bad, guessing, so that would make Harley 12 now.

when my Opus was on BP meds it was the same for 3 years I went no where, when my husband was ill and in hospital in the city 3 hrs away I would drive home for the night so Opus could have his meds a.m. and pm......man the things we don't do for those little guys eh!! you will get onto it and will do fine and Maggie will do good also now that she's had a diagnosis. take care.

Opus88 I tried everything for Toonces, yes pumpkin included....fiber in cats with megacolon is tricky, it can sometimes absorb the water thus leading to even more constipation. Wet food over dry food is better but then you have to try and brush their teeth or give a few greenies (if you can afford it) to help with the teeth.

That's what I love about cats. Akira is definitely a lap cat and a cuddle buddy. I took some cute pictures with the new camera phone that I haven't been able to figure out how to download to the computer yet, but one of the pictures shows Akira in her basket reaching out with her paw telling me she wants me to pet her. My previous cat was affectionate with me, but she was painfully shy and was never one to be a lap cat. So, they definitely have different personalities.

I have 6 feral/outdoor cats that I feed in my backyard. Three months ago they were spayed/neutered, inoculated, and treated topically for fleas with Revolution while under anesthesia. I have since given them oral anti-flea meds in their food, so I am not worried about that. In the interim, a family member began complaining of severe itching and overall discomfort. He went to a dermatologist, who diagnosed him with suffering from a mite infestation.

History cont. Missy was 12 yrs old, adopted her in 1997, she was never a dobie that was accepting of cats until last Oct.2007. She developed a bond with the feral mother of Sparky(her name is Smoky), very unusal for a feral cat to do this.Missy developed even a closer bond with Sparky. Nov. Missy began to limp, we did everything from Holistic and Conventional medicine, she had bone cancer. Sparky would never leave her side. She was put down Dec. 3, 2007.

Most cats do not enjoy living in close quarters with other cats. Your cat is showing typical symptoms of being very stressed. You should seperate their feeding areas (different room / area of the house for each cat) and give them a seperate litterbox each. The house as a whole should have 1 more litterbox than the number of cats you have (ie you should have 4). Litterboxes should be kept immaculately clean. Give each cat a high area they can escape to (top of a lowboy / cat palace etc).

Hello, Over the last several years, we have had wonderful results clearing up chronic diarrhea in cats like yours and cats with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) using a product called Tylan. This product is not labeled for cats but works like a charm and clears loose stool up in 24-48 hours. Tylan is an inexpensive, bitter tasting yellow powder labeled for poultry. It has no adverse side effects other than if you use too much it can cause temporary constipation.

t always have the best ingredients, especially the fillers they use, BUT cats must have Taurine. It is why cats should never be on just human food, their body needs this additive for good health. Any cat food will have this ingredient, so it won't hurt to give them food made specifically for cats just for this reason.

Shes not a bum in ya face type of cat!! I have had many cats in my life and I have never heard of this before,its really hilarious!! I would just like to add that I havent owned a leg humping dog either!! Savas where do you get your pets from??

None of these cats are feral. They are all cats that have been surrendered to the shelter by their owners or were brought in as recent stays because they were abandoned by their owners. The two pregnant cats were spayed and aborted. 2 of the 3 nursing queens are still kittens themselves. They are about 9 months old with 3 week old litters, meaning they were only about 6 months old when they got pregnant. I am fostering one of those litters, a 9 month old mama with 7 kittens.

seems like my cats in pain when she comes in heat, she looks like a rabbit when she props herself, and every touch she acts like that, sometimes when she's touched i wonder if it feels to her like a thousand needles tips....but this last time she was in heat it seems like its wearing her out..she looks like she hasn't slept...and starting to act as if shes out of it..she EVEN act as if she like my energetic grandsons (1,4, &7) lol...

One time we had a huge storm, so we brought all the cats in (they slept at that time in boxes in a mostly-enclosed porch, but for some reason that didn't seem like enough) and our two Golden Retrievers. Set out the dog beds, set up the cat sleeping boxes, put the animals in the room. One by one, each cat went over, sniffed the dog's bed, and peed in it. Can't remember now if they picked on one dog, or if they shared the bounty between both beds.

dry foods no matter how good or not good of a brand can lead to crystal formation b/c cats do not drink enough water to compensate for the dehydrated food.....remember a cats natural diet are mice and birds....along with the body fluids. by eating a dry food diet and lack of moisture crystals soon form leading to a condition called FLUTD. MALE CATS ARE ESPECIALLY PRONE TO THIS....these crystals are sharp and scrape the urethra as they pass thru.

I would take her in to a vet immediately, perhaps a different vet for a second opinion. Animal hospitals, if there is one in your area, are a good choice for cats suffering from trauma. They tend to have large staffs that have seen a lot of this kind of thing. I recommend animal hospitals to a lot of people, but even more so for trauma cases. If nothing else, she will need antibiotics if she has an abcess and needs to see a vet for that. I wish you all the best of luck.
