Hi Hideyo, Within the last year my vets have instituted a policy of no surgery without prior bloodwork. I've always done the bloodwork, anyway, but some folks are angry about the additional expense. Believe me, I understand all too well about the cost of vet care, but I'm not going to risk an

Hi Michelle, Wink is approximately 9 years old. She's tiny (right now only 4.5 lbs) and has always been that way. I don't think she ever weighed more than 6 lbs. She is also hyper-thyroid. If she's a candidate for surgery, Dr. Bulakowski feels that it's reasonable to expect a2-4 year extension

Hi Michelle, My vets have told me a year, however, I keep kitten food in the mix (I rotate foods rather than feeding the same thing all the time) because it's higher in protein. Julie[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Although I have my kitties I've always had adult kitties and never kittens and some one

2-4 years is quite an extension. I think that might be worth 3 weeks boarding at NEVOG personally, but I have never had to leave someone at the vet that long and would also have a hard time doing it. NEVOG's partnership with ACI is actually how we started going there. We were driving Fern

I had always thought between 1 and 2 years of age. But with my boys, they went from kitten food to prescription food at about 5 months because of Smoky's GI issues. And their growth was certainly not stunted in any way!!![EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Although I have my kitties I've always had adult

Gary and Karen, I'm so sorry about your losing the little ones. I wish I had the answers. Parasites, Giardia and Coccidia do take a lot of little lives. MC just lost several kittens one at a time. I don't think she knows what claimed their lives. Sally too, just lost a litter one at a time.
