88793 tn?1290227177 I'm curious. My 12 yrs old male cat with Renal disease recently has a very bloating/swelling tummy! I discovered tonight after he has eaten a quarter of the roast chicken (breast) and 2 x 85g tin cat food. His tummy is huge. When he walks, looks like the tummy is swinging left and right.... I wasn't sure, is he tummy swelling due to the kidney disease decline (organs swelling) or eat too much? Or he didn't go to toilet? I'm worrying.

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn Revolution is primarily a treatment for fleas in cats and dogs but it is approved for ear mites in both.
Avatar f tn Pemphigus foliaceus is an autoimmune disease typically treated with steroids to get it under control and then a less strident topical or oral medication to keep the development of new blisters in check and prevent existing ones from becoming infected. Atopica is intended for in dogs with atopic dermatitis, so I don't know how this would be helpful to your cat and could be harmful since I don't think there have been any studies does regarding it's safety for cats.
1563533 tn?1345366296 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.
Avatar n tn s (three times), chest xray, chest ct scan w/contrast within the past 6 months ALL are normal. I do have allergies to cats, dogs and dust and I have seen an allergist who is treating me for asthma, but nothing he has given me is working!! I am 36 years old and feel terrible! I am getting depressed thinking no one will ever discover what is causing my discomfort. Any ideas??? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/471748'>GERD and shortness of breath</a>.

2013578 tn?1341812012 ) 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...
Avatar f tn Does Profender cause gas in cats. I just had my cat treated last week because his third lid was showing and the vet thought he had worms. Now he has terrible gas!
Avatar f tn Btw cats get jealous ive seen it first hand. One reason i dont want to leave my babies in her house.

Avatar n tn 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!
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
1560663 tn?1298046527 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.
6726276 tn?1421126668 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Oh gosh yes.I started bloating and my pants wouldn't fit (before I knew I was pregnant 7weeks I believe at the time) I tried putting on at least 12 different pairs of jeans before I broke down. 9 weeks I cried because my cats were getting along. I cried when my sister bought me candy. I cried when my husband ate the last of my cereal. It goes away in the second trimester.

443862 tn?1237999439 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).
Avatar n tn 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.
6726276 tn?1421126668 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.
