11390877 tn?1417804957 Also like to reiterate that I became a pet parent by surprise. These two beautiful cats were going to be homeless or in a kill shelter if I didn't take them. I just don't want people thinking that I made a choice to get these animals knowing that I was going to be working all day because it just isn't the case. Now that I have them I wouldn't trade them for a pot of gold but I am still learning how to do this. I never even so much as had a hamster growing up!
Avatar m tn It does sound like kidney or diabetes, or kidney and diabetes. Please get him in to see a doctor. The doctor can tell you what treatment costs. It is not going to get better, and it sounds very acute. I would take him to the vet tomorrow.
Avatar f tn t worry about the chewing on plastic, cats seem to have an attraction to some chemical used in certain plastics, nothing to be concerned about just be sure he doesn't eat/swallow any of it. the pooing outside the box is usually b/c they are trying to tell you something is wrong...ie pain. they associate pain with the litter box and this can be either during voiding or defecating.....b/c you are seeing blood it could possibly be the bowel thats a cause for concern. Has he been constipated?
1232362 tn?1333135406 this was the link that Montyclm sent me for that bio-collar. its in the UK but I see no reason why they wouldn't ship internationally, I have ordered from the UK alright before and the shipping was very reasonable too. good luck. http://bioflow.co.
4105307 tn?1369531432 s is a rare disorder of cats, with less than 100 cats ever reported. As in dogs, most cats have the pituitary-dependent form of hyperadrenocorticism, but cortisol-secreting adrenal tumors also occur in cats with some frequency (1,3). Many of these cats develop mild diabetes secondary to insulin resistance. With treatment of the hypercortisolism, the diabetic state may be reversible in cats with Cushing's syndrome.
1979418 tn?1432135441 No talking sensse into her, so she decides they can live in her mini van... she diappears again, drives to my sister in law work where two cats apparently jump out the window, so we are down to 9 cats in the cat van parade.... She ends up back at my aunts and spends the night there, cats int he van and I am able to arrange with animal control to investigate. But, they get there and can't seize the cats cause its on private property.
1460724 tn?1285932386 She lost weight and I took her to the vet and was treated for urinary tract infection. Ever since that time she is now the most aggressive of all the cats (as I come in the house, she is waiting there MEOWING at the top of her lungs). She no long hides, she appears to be always hungry and her preference is canned food and IAMS hairball dry food, she is thin, but still very active, jumping, chasing things and will nip you if you don't pet her when she wants.
Avatar f tn yes please do check out that very informative site....this Dr. Pierson gives really indepth info also instructions on how to do home blood glucose monitoring...anyone with a diabetic cat needs this as their bible:)) Pip....I just re-read Dr. Piersons site...and she has it written right there that a low carb diet has reduced or eliminated the need for insulin...I will copy some of the studies she has quotes...great job papa cat!!!
775732 tn?1246125144 These conditions are more likely in cats that are over 7 yrs old. Both of these conditions are very treatable and your kitty should be fine!
Avatar f tn To Emeral42: One of my cats had to spend 3 days/2 nights at the vet in 2007, with fluids, lab work and medication, and it cost us $700. To Jade59: $700 for a tooth cleaning, now I find that very expensive! We have a cat with gengivitis, adopted him in December and he had his tooth cleaning in January, it cost <$300. Tooth cleaning alone under anesthesia is $170 + $100 for blood work and IV during cleaning = $270. This price does not include extraction but I think it's # $40/tooth.
Avatar f tn Their eyes are clearer and our older cats are playing like kittens again. In the beginning we slowly added this to their Science Diet Dry food a little at a time. This is a dry food with moisture in it and gluton free (be sure to get the gluton free stuff)! It is much more expensive, so much worth it! One of our cats had dry fur that shed all the time and now he never sheds except during the season changes and his fur is soft and it's just amazing! Good luck!!!!
Avatar n tn Kidney issues tend to lose their appetite. Diabetes tends to be in obese cats and also sometimes lose appetite or vomit right after eating due to high blood sugars. Although all the diseases here have similar symptoms, unending appetite with extreme weight loss despite eating is the "tell tale" of hyperthyroidism. However, only bloodwork can confirm it and distinguish it for sure from the other two as every kitty is different.
Avatar n tn Yout vet IS right, high protein diets will harm you cat's kidneys...but the thing I don't get, you cat is diabetic or you're just scared that diets with carbs will cause diabetes?? Because it's not carbs that cause diabetes, it's a really high sugar diet that causes it in animals, commercial food have just the carbs and proteins and fats that your cat need (the good ones, of course there are some brands that can damage pets).
168348 tn?1379357075 ie if a friend hears that a barn cat will be neutered for next to nothing, they may try to get a cheap spay/neuter for their family pet. The education, surgical costs, anesthesia costs, physical hospital costs are still present no matter. The only reason it is done for next to nothing is to try to help control the pet population. It is a loss of money - not even breaking even to do a neuter this way. The hospital doesn't get product donated for those procedures unlike shelters.

Avatar n tn My father was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My uncle has type 2 diabetes as well. Recently I have just been looking into the common symptoms and have become rather concerned. I would like some clarity on whether these are actual symptoms of diabetes or not. 1. Most of the time during the days it seems like I'm always very hungry. 2. If I'm not weight lifting and eating A LOT of food I tend to lose weight. 3. Occasionally I feel very weak. 4.
Avatar f tn t necessarily mean a child will develop diabetes, and in particular not develop type 2 diabetes. Type 2 is primarily controlled with diet and exercise, so there is likely no greater risk of the child developing diabetes than anyone else. If the father is diabetic, either type 1 or 2, it is irrelevant to intercourse or child birth. The best way to prevent type 2 diabetes in kids is to let them get plenty of exercise and make sure they eat a well balanced diet.

587315 tn?1333552783 Think about this, the USDA has no say so in our cats food. To those of you who are unsure of what the USDA does, they inspect HUMAN meat and make sure it is fit for consumption. SOOOO, if they're not regulating our cat's food-what kind of "meat" do ya think they are getting?? I have had so many cats over the years-always more than two at a time, and most of them have died from cancer, kidney disease, and thyroid problems.
Avatar n tn earlier in the summer my cat had blisters in his mouth on the left side. So off to the vet we went, shots and medication were given, 3 weeks of weekly cortizone shots and about 200.00 later 5 months later the blisters are back, what is the reason? In order to give him the pills I put them in tuna fish, now that's pretty much all he wants to eat, soes this have any effect on the blister thing? How good is "human tuna" for them too?
