Hi Jennifer, I have been reading about your new Kitty, and a few of the symptoms you wrote about sound like hyperthyroidism. Drinking water all the time and going around the house meowing, especially at night, are both symptoms. We have a cat with hyper T. To check for it, you have to get a T4

Yes, they said they will give her lasix if/when the fluid makes her uncomfortable. I think she is breathing a little funny, but the vet did not think so much. The problem with lasix is that it leaches nutrients she needs and also risks damage to the kidneys. At some point she will probably

Does your cat have liver problems? Is he anemic? Are you giving the denosyl just for that? I had only heard of it helping with liver problems. If it is for anemia itself, can you let me know the amount of SAMe that is in each dose you give him? I would not be able to get denosyl tday, but

Hi Jennifer, Technically most state laws govern that a cat has to have rabies shots. I'd check your county/state laws to make sure. You can, however, get away with not giving them rabies shots if they are not licensed. I don't think I've ever heard of states requiring you to give distemper.
