I see that his has been posted and discussed a lot, but I've not seen
much in the way of solutions...
Our cat is 18 years old and just got a clean bill of health.  No kidney
failure, no hyperthyroidism, etc.  The only thing the vet noticed was

I have been posting about TB, my poor boy that is battling chronic live
disease.  My vet had given him prednisolone when he first showed sign
of the disease back in October of '04.  He responded very well, eatin
all of his food and acting totally normal.  After a couple week

I may have snuck you guys past the sign in page but its pretty
painless if it won't let you take the test without signing in. Plus if
you look at the bottom of the page and click on "tests" you will find
hundreds of these psychological tests that are pretty amusing to take.

How about some sort of cut-off date for discussing Conan? How about August

Hi...My female cat, Kelly, has been vomiting every few days or so. She's 9
years old, and takes Norvasc for high blood pressure. She gets a half pill in
the morning, and a half in the evening - in her food. She can not be pilled -
it freaks her out.

What age should a kitten get separated from its mum?  I thought it was
3 months, but I was in the pet shop today, just to buy some catnip, I
hate pet shops.  There was some adorable kittens for sale, would never
buy one anyway from shop, but I asked the owner how old they were and

Our Bengal Louis seems happy enough. He's friendly, is eating, and
plays lustfully. He's had marking problems, but they seem to be under
control for the moment.
Tonight, however,  I noticed that his underbelly, from about the last

Well, I took TB to the vet today and talked about his prognosis.  Hi
