I use both versions of Feliway, as well as catnip. Simon was separated from them his last month, but I brought him in to see them once and they did not really want much to do with him and he did not want to see them either. Ginger was the only one who was really close to him, and she is the

Hi all. As you know, I moved to NJ and so now am dealing with all new vets. Lucy had a bladder stone (struvite) in the spring and was on clavamox and S/D until her symptoms went away and the x-ray showed no more stone. She got symptoms again a few weeks ago. I switched her to S/D again and put

If they don't understand what happened it unbalances their world even more. I have seen it several times. One animal leaves and the others have to reorder their lives--rearrange the pecking order. I guess my point is to make sure they do understand what happened so they can do their

That's a tough call. I 'thought' vets had stopped using Baytril. period. That makes me think you might want to get a second opinion. If you do that and the vet says 'no' to baytril I would get a second opinion on the dental as well tonya

No, vets still use Baytril a lot. They just advise people that it very rarely causes retinal detachment and to be cautious for this reason. But it is a strong broad spectrum antibiotic that helps with a lot of infections that do not respond to other drugs. In Lucy's case, she is a lot better on
