I wanted to thank all who replied. Smokey passed away yesterday morning at the vets office. I did take him to a new vet who was shocked that the other vet did...
I am so sorry to hear about Smokey. I hope you do not return to the previous vet, and tell others to avoid him. I personally feel that his actions were...
My 11yr old cat, Trai, just had a mild stroke three days ago. she was in the vet overnite, but is now at home. She is walking with a wobble - a bit unbalanced,...
Your vet will probably have a better idea of how much Trai is going to recover, but I would expect, especially for a mild stroke, that you will begin to see...

My cat was hit by a car 3 months ago, just outside my home in Istanbul. We think he was hit near the neck because there's also a problem with his eyes. His R...
This probably isn't going to seem like much help, but your vet would know better than any of us if your cat should have this operation. Honestly, there are...
