Thanks, Traci, I'll schedule her for thryoid test next week and we'll go from there. I'll also check out the dietary pages. Maggie doesn't exercise for longer than a couple of minutes at a time (although she always wants me to play with her or feed her). She has exercise-induced asthma, so it's a ca...

I posted this about an hour ago, but I see it didn't make it. I'll try to shorten the story. I've posted about Maggie in the past, but am updating the diet situation. She's 19 lbs, vet changed her to Feline RD from Hairball Light about 2 months or so ago. She gets a cup/day (half in am and half in p...

Good news to report...Maggie's back to her old self again. No more sneezing, nose seems to have cleared up, normal stools; she's just doing great. She's more active, too. I think that Clavamox really did the trick. She still has a day and a half to go on that. Now we'll focus on the weight managemen...

I feel for you, completely. I've had cats since 1982 and never had any allergies to anything 'til last year. Spring and Fall got worse for awhile, but then it seemed much more frequent. Allergy testing in September showed the garden variety outdoor allergies, but then when he said, "Cats"!...

Well, Maggie's much better tonight, thank God. She had me even more worried when she didn't urinate all day yesterday, and none in the box this morning. I got to work and looked up her antihistamine and it said dry mouth and urinary retention as possible side effects. She had four long drinks of wat...

Yes, he ordered 2 mg per 12 hrs. Tonight I'm happy to report Maggie's condition is much improved. Has only sneezed a couple of times since I got home an hour ago. She's breathing through her nose and it sounds much clearer. She also gave me a good scratch when I gave her meds this time! She usually ...

Great, great, great ideas! So, so helpful. I just never even thought about the shower idea. I'll ask him about the spray if the meds don't help. I don't know if it's too early to tell, but it appears that her sneezing has lessened considerably this evening. I wonder if the antihistamine could make s...

Oh, thank you so much for easing my mind about the weight gain. I know she hasn't nibbled more because Robbie is fed in a separate area that is up high where Maggie can't get to (she's so big, she can't jump that high). So I was thinking it was water weight as well. And yes, I will talk to him about...

The saga continues...Maggie went to the vet today again, sneezing up a storm, stuffed up nose. She doesn't act like anything bothers her except that stuffiness (she's not got labored breathing, she's not listless or anything like that); He gave her a shot of PCN and switched her oral antibiotic from...

Thanks, Traci. Maggie's original acute illness was impacted/infected anal glands. Completely healed now. She's also totally switched over to her R/D diet, which she loves (of course she would eat anything if it's cat-food)! Maggie seemed to improve on her sneezing and stuffiness on Saturday; she was...
