It's been just over a week since I took Marley in to get the lump in him mouth looked at and he started antibiotics. It looks much better, but still not right....
Hello, I'm not a vet or anything close. In fact, I live with a cat. I just wanted to let you know that I will say a prayer and send healing thoughts and ...
Unwittingly, you've made me cry, Dave, as just this morning, I had to take my 16 year old cat Kimba to the vet, and he found a large growth in his mouth...
Thanks, Maree, unfortunately, as soon as the Vet went to take the biopsy, he found the growth was a sarcoma (tumour), spread more widely than first thought,...
Shazza, Please accept a little expression of compassion from a stranger regarding the loss of your friend Kimibi. I hope it isn't inappropriate to share a...
Hi Shazz I am so sorry for your loss. As you say - it's the right thing, but still the decision is a hard one to make. But it's a small price to pay for ...
Joy, thank you, that's pretty much exactly what I envisaged. It sounds corny, but the story about The Rainbow Bridge has always had a massive impact on me...
First the good news - it's not cancer or a tumor!! Just inflammatory tissue! Don't know why or how though. No foreign body was found in the tissue (at least...
I lurk on the List, learning and thinking positive thoughts for all pets. Now I'd like some advice. Kona is a 14yo NM mixed breed (maybe Shep/Keeshond/Nor...
... Dave, I am so thankful that this has all been a storm in a teacup. Looks like Marley still has a few years in him yet. Guess you better feed him ice cream...
There's obviously been a lot of work done here. I assume the liver enzymes are still elevated? The relity is that most liver disease is hard to diagnose unless...
Peter, one of my puppies had a reaction to it's first vaccine, I am not happy to vaccinate it again, it went very floppy and I had to keep it hydrated for a...
Thanks for the very thoughtful reply. Back in the fall, we did do a liver aspirate which showed no obvious cancer or bacteria. We also sent a PLI to an...
Lumps at the site of injection are usually local reactions..either to adjuvants or injection bases or to contamination from the skin as the needle pierces or...
Thanks Peter, I will do as you suggest, and will let you know if we have a further adverse reaction... Very good advice this. Again. many thanks Celia...
I am helping a friend who has been feeding a colony of feral cats. Many of them are ill with an upper respiratory infection. Most of them cannot be handled...
Tylan tablets used to be on the UK veterinary market for use in cats and dogs .. but disappeared off the available lists some years ago. It did prove safeand...
I need some help clarifying things around our recent vet visits and our cat Sooty who is approx. 13 years of age a black cat. I respect and trust our vet but...
<<1) How can the vet be sure that it is not a large but benign growth or a blockage that can be sorted out with medication or minor surgery?>> Position, shape,...
Dr. Knapp, Just a quick note to 1) thank you again and 2) update you on where Kona and I are. I'm very hesitant to do invasive procedures at his age, unless it...
Hello, Would anyone have advise re a white's tree frog that is losing weight? the humidity, heat and feed is fine, but they are dying off one by one.. ...
<<she sees his improved liver levels over time as suggestive that it isn't likely that is now causing anorexia.>> A paradox here that liver values (alt/alkp)...
Not really my field... But if you have problems in a colony of these then logic auggests that even though you are sure about environment then recheck it.....
Thanks Joy Mr Knapp said a lot that tallied with what our vet said and clarified some things that I did not understand about finding lumps, working out what...
