Hi Ryan Check out the color of his nail beds (extend the nail, the nail bed should be pink). It's possible that he had a wee clot go to one of his toes....
When Max threw his clot the first sign was the "flicking"; of his leg...I noticed something was wrong and then he jumped down to the floor and his foot was...
Thanks for the feedback Adriann and Judi! I examined Eli's nail beds this morning. All had the same pinkness and looked good. He didn't seem to mind either,...
Is there any chance he might have undiagnosed diabetes? Has he been tested recently? Diabetes that isn't properly controlled can cause neuropathy in the back...

Okay, it would make sense, if Tigger's heart had such mild irregularities at the time that Dr Petrie couldn't diagnose HCM for sure and decided to medicate ...
Hi, I was hoping to get some opinions. Have any of your heart kitties had elevated liver enzymes show up during routine blood work? At my HCM kitty Jack's...
Hi Shelley, One of my kitties did have an elevated ALT, about the same as yours, and it turned out to be hyperthyroidism. Have you had the thyroid test done?...
My non-HCM kitty had elevated ALT, and much more elevated that your Jack -- I think it was 5 or 600 something like that. We repeated the test and it was still...
I got this info at: http://www.natto-nattokinase.com/herbal-remedies/natto-nattokinase/nattokinase-benefits It has to do with nattokinase and clot formation......
How interesting...I was sure it was working for Max. Now I'd like to take it...did it give any guidelines for the amt in humans? thanks...Judi and Angel Max...
I posted about this before --- last year sometime Dr Oz had health secrets from Japan on his show. He told us how most Japanese people EAT natto everyday, and...
It does sound great - just grain of salt - this website is selling it! ;> Nattokinase Dosage InformationNatt has been consumed as a breakfast delicacy...
To Shelly, Regarding the elevated liver enzymes. While your vet is absolutely right to check it out further; I'd just like to mention that my cat "Joey" was...
Hi Ryan ... This is good news because if an animal loses sensation in a limb or digit, they sometimes 'target' it inappropriately (gruesomely). Seems like he...
Hi there I agree with the other poster to check his T4, if he's over the age of 6 and you haven't checked it within the past three months. ALT is the one value...
Adriann, Thank you for the input! I was around for most of the day yesterday and kept an eye on him. He really doesn't seem to be bothered by it except for...
In their article the idiots forgot to tell to **BRAKE THE GLASSES** of the window/s of the car to reduce the temperature and save the animal. i already...
Hi Shelley, My 15.5 year old cat Jeremy was diagnosed as CRF & CHM Thanksgiving weekend 2010. His abdominal ultrasound showed no real areas of concern, othr...
Hi Adriann, thanks so much for your in-depth reply! We did do a T4 test, just the basic one I think. It came back @ 2.5 I believe. Vet says that's normal. I...
Hi Lillian, I am glad that Jeremy felt better after adding Denamarin. I will definitely ask about that for Jack. One of the options was just to treat liver...
Hi The GGT is normally very low, so that's good. I would keep the appt for Monday, why not have someone take a look. I hope it's a radiologist or internist...
Hiya, is the Cypro for appetite stimulation? Or for something else? When you say "possible"; restrictive cardiomyopathy, what do you mean? Who diagnosed him?...
Hi, This is my first time posting. I'll begin by telling of my cats medical background and tests, and add my concerns and questions at the end of my post. My...
Hi Are you mixing the pills in with his food? That may cause him to avoid his food. If atenolol was giving him problems, the first symptom would be lethargy...
Paula, I know first hand that atenolol can cause lack of appetite. My cat was prescribed atenolol and within about a week he went off his food completely, and...
I think he may not like the fish oil if you are adding it to his food. Try not adding it. Feed it separately in something like tuna juice and see how he does. ...
This is probably a strange question, but I have been dealing with so much sick cat stuff, and two cat deaths within three months, and I'm probably a bit...
