Hi Traci, I agree, I am getting impatient. I didn't expect to have heard from him today as I know he wanted to get some opinions from peers as well--but--having not heard from him I am growing anxious. I wonder if it is worth trying to treat for an inner ear infection while we wait for the specialis...

Thank you Traci. I have been wondering about it truly being a middle ear infection. As for our pet-sitter, I do trust her. Other than having the flu nothing else was amiss. She is typically around the kitties for only 30 minutes a day, and she confirmed that everything seemed normal. Our other kitty...

Hi Traci, Today was the first day we got to see the Dr. He admittedly couldn't do that much--he checked her ears with the scope, and listened to her heart as we made a loud noise behind her. He concluded that she cannot hear anything. I myself think she can hear some, or it waxes and wanes, because ...

Thank you for the link--I will look it over now. The Dr. is getting referrals for us now and should get back to us in the next few days. As a side note, he put some solution in her left ear during the exam to try to move a piece of wax--that didn't work. Tonight her right ear is bothering her a lot....

Hi Karen, Thank you for your reply. She was not on any antibiotics for the dental, but about a month before that she was on a 2 week course of Clavamox for a UTI. The vet said that it seems to be an acute case as he just saw her a little over a month ago and everything checked out great, and he know...

Our girl has suddenly lost her hearing. Her 11th birthday was this weekend. We noticed this last week, and were certain of it on Saturday. We took her in to see her Dr. this afternoon and we are stumped. He checked her ears, they are clear (but for a little wax) and he said her ear drums are opaque ...

I agree with everything that has been said already. I can only offer one more suggestion after all of the other steps that have been mentioned have been taken. We made a long distance move a few years ago, and my female kitty was a bit stressed. She decided to urinate on my new husbands leather chai...

Thank you again. We decided that we'll recheck in a month. In the meantime I will watch her urine. It's disconcerning that she went from a very concentrated urine (her whole life)--just last month she was still 1.045 and now her urine showed as 1.029. I do hope that this test was a fluke and all is ...

Thank you. Yes, a CBC was done and everything was perfectly normal, middle of the road (except platlets were low, but they were clumped). How can I tell if they used canine reference ranges? Would the Microalbinuria have picked up on the renal disease? No real signs of illness, she is a fincky eater...

We had a comprehensive blood and urine panel for our kitty on Friday. The Dr. left a note for me saying all was normal. I did not get to speak with the Dr. I request copies of each bw and urinalysis for my own records. I noticed something that has me nervous, even though the Dr. said all was normal....
