My older cat, Ella, has a clear spot on her eye. It doesn't seem painful or irritated, and there's no discharge, so I'm waiting a little while. If it's not better by tomorrow I'll call the vet and make an appointment ( Read more... )

If Clavamox is left unrefrigerated for about 22 hours, is it still good? I'm waiting back for a call from the vet's office, but thought I'd post here in the meantime.

Vet told us that it can be done at 3 months and they have to stay at the office for half a day, but I was doubtful. I am thinking about 6 months, but want to hear your opinion. And also, I heard that flat-faced breeds have problems with ( Read more... )

Twice a week vomiting

For about 2 weeks now, Andromeda has been vomiting exactly twice a week. I thought it might've been hairballs since most of the time the vomit was hairy and she's been shedding a lot since the temperature got hot. I thought daily brushing might do the trick, but nope. No dice. I've tried brushing her, brushing her with a special brush made to ( Read more... )
