Hello Traci, Been a few years since my last post. Wondering if you may have any ideas here: About a month ago behind my workplace I discovered a litter of kittens. They are probably around 8-10 weeks old now. I've tried a number of things to catch them and have failed. What worries me the most is th...

Hi Traci, Just wanted to update you on the diabetic stray. Well, HE LOOKS GREAT! He is on Insulin (3mg 2x daily) most of the hair in the bald spots he had has grown back, the infected paw has completely healed. There is still one problem however. Sometimes after he eats, his belly swells right up. S...

Traci- took him to the vet AGAIN and had the paw looked at. The vet said it looked like a possible "splinter" and was very infected. He was given an antibiotic injection and pills for the next 10 days. I just have a couple quick questions; The paw looks absolutely horrible today and is dri...

Traci?? Just thought I'd give you a quick update on this big orange guy. I did take him to the vet a week ago and they found him to be diabetic! He is also an older cat, probably around 10+ years old. The vet gave us some glyberide to try and get his blood sugar down a little. But also warned us tha...

Almost like there was a "vacancy" sign put up at the house here , a big orange stray male has showed up. He is not all that well and I thought you might be able to help. He has been to hell and back with many fight scars on his face (especially his nose) he is missing his bottom right fang...

To all: especially Traci, We had to let Dwight go today. I don't know why I neglected this whole time to mention his name. But his name is Dwight. The last few days his whole condition deteriorated to the point where we just had to let him go. He wasn't eating (although trying and gagging uncontroll...

Just got back from the vet and the news is not good. The cancer is starting to grow on his tongue again. That is why he is drooling & having a hard time eating again as his tongue is swollen and sore. He prescribed some antibiotics that will lessen the swelling in his tongue so that he may be ab...

Thanks for the tip Traci. I will call the vet in the AM. He did have a short oral checkup last Monday and the vet seemed to be rather surprised at how well his mouth looked and how well he was doing altogether. About 10 minutes ago he was crying for some food so I put down a plate of his favorite Tu...

Update June 15. Traci? All seemed to be going well until recently. He has been eating well and thanks to a special kitty-cat drinking fountain getting lots of water. The problem as of a couple days ago is that he is drooling quite a bit and not eating quite as much. Also, he has licked most of the f...

Traci, Davet etc.... I received the results of the pathology today, it is Squamous Cell Carcinoma! The vet also indicated that the tumor that was removed was quote: "very nasty". Everything I hear or read about online says a recurrence is rare and rarely spreads, yet the vet that treated h...
