Hi there ~ I thought I should come back and update this. Bladder Kitty is on the mend - her Vet kept her at the office all day... giving her fluids and eventually a shot of medicine to reduce her urge to vomit. Since her head was covered with what looked like hives... the Vet wanted her off of C/D-S...

I called again and this time the doctor got back to me in about 10 minutes - hurray! She (the Vet) agrees that she (the cat) is responding allergically to something, so the C/D-S is history. They gave her more fluid. I agreed to have her do an x-ray to rule out any foreign objects. They did a blood ...

I just called. They said that they are monitoring her, but none of the doctors have seen her yet - the phone lines went done and people were just coming in instead of calling and she said it is a mad house. She said my call was the first to come through - which is good news. It is always something i...

Ashley - I am really glad that what you are doing is working for you. It didn't for me and I am just posting the experience as a "For what it is worth" sort of thing... After spending a few hundred dollars, you have this feeling like you need to give other folks a heads up, just in case. P...

You know the old saying? "For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the battle was lost. For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail" I have always fed my ...

My cats are 6, 5, 3, and 1. The 5 yr. old and the 1yr. have been to the Vet most recent. If I need to take all 4 to the Vet, I will need to space out the visits a bit, as my Vet asks for cash at the time of service. I don't think I can cover 4 visits in one payday. (I don't have credit cards anymore...
