Friday Cat Blogging: New Family Member

I went to the kitten rescue , to take photos of kittens. As I’ve said here before, I visit feline rescues regularly. Unexpectedly, I saw a miniature version of my smoky-gray Grand Old Man , whom I lost a year ago. There he was! (below, far right) Of course, since cats have nine lives, I wondered if it really was him. I picked up the white one, and he was disinterested. The gray one was very determined, yowling insistently at me. Hmm, I thought. Is it him? I picked him up and

The immature heartworms called microfilaria travel through the blood stream. The microfilaria settle into the heart chambers and major pulmonary blood vessels. This causes a blockage of the blood flow

How Rapidly Should Feline Bladder Infections Resolve When Treated?

My three-year old spayed female cat is being treated with Clavamox for a UTI. She’s had five doses of the Clavamox over the past 2 1/2 days, but is still spraying urine and also calling loudly as though she were in season.
