Ok, so Griffin had to stay at the vet for most of today, we took him in and found out right away that his heartrate, and temperature were fine, and that his bladder wasn't dangerously overloaded, in fact it was too empty for the testing they needed to do. So we left him there, so they could obtain a...

We have an appointment for tomorrow at 9 am, it was the soonest we could get in... poor little guy... my cats are like my kids (as I am sure is the case with many of us) and I feel physically nauseated when they aren't well.

Okay last week one of my cats had a bad cold, eye partially closed, red third eyelid, and constant sneezing... I kept careful cleaning his eye, and would put him in the bathroom with hot water in the tub, and let him breathe the steam. Well yesterday and today I was excited that he was all better, o...

Well, clearly keeping him in the bathroom still isn't working, it is day 3, and he is still scabbed over, and spot bleeding, so back to the vet we go.

We will sign up to have him stitched up, as well as fixing his hernia.

Wish us luck!

Oh we don't let him near the garbage bag now, it is on the fridge or outside. The kittens are just over six months. The shelter vet is very good, and many people use this clinic. It has a great reputation, and has recently been remodeled and renovated. They are fantastic! We have been taking our oth...

We just went to the rescue shelter where we got him, and thankfully they've agreed to pay for his meds from yesterday, as well as the hernia operation he'll need. The vet found a small hernia yesterday that he was born with, from the umbilical cord. She said for now, to just "push" it back...

Nope he didn't! But Griffin is a little garbage disposal! We have to put the garbage on the fridge, if he can get into the garbage he's eaten, jello, whole wheat bread, green pepper, and plum!

Thank you for your advice!

He is taking his pills very well, I leave them whole (they aren't very big) and put one in some wet food, and he laps it right up.

That is such a relief to hear! The boys are definitely not bonded with our first cat, but she tolerates them, and will play with them once in awhile.

That is terrible that the infection started there, because I called the vet and they said a bit of licking was fine. At least he has the cone on now...

They told me that with male cats, they do not use sutures. That it is such a small incision, that it will heal on it's own. Az's healed very nicely. Griffin did a bit of initial licking the first day, but nothing more than a bath. We called the vet and they said that was fine, but if the licking got...
