Tracy, there is always a risk with any surgery for any cat. Not a big one but it is there. It is safer to have Bacca spayed after she is out of heat. I have had 8 FeLV+ girls spayed with no issues. None were in heat. All were in good health when they had the surgery. They went to a low cos

I am not a vet, but I would be surprised if either Liquid DMG or Transfer Factor would be a problem when giving prednisone or another steroid. They are both supplements and not really in the same category as interferon, LTCI or something like that. Best wishes for you and Wolfie. Lance On Tue, 2

Just wanted to let everyone know we had to let Nibbler go today. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I'm not sure how I am going to get used to him not greeting me every morning and getting to say goodnight to him in front of the fireplace. Thanks everyone that has helped with my questions

Hi Tracy, My vocal 1 1/2 year old positive female, Sylvia, sometimes changes her voice when she's not feeling well. It drops into a lower register and gets scratchy, like she has laryngitis. She's spayed. Most of the time she's got a fairly melodic, medium-pitched meow-- that scratchy voice is what

Thank you everyone. You all are truly very wonderful and caring people. Nibbler made it to 16 weeks.  He took a turn for the worse a couple days ago.  Fortunately, he was purring and happy and we got to hold him as he went.  I know he is in a better place even though this is the worst broken hear

Crystal, I'm so sorry about Nibbler. I lost Duncan last summer, Charlotte in April and Chutney a few weeks ago. Chutney's passing was a shock because we didn't know he was positive. He had tested negative just 6 weeks before he died, but then his sister Bridget tested positive, so I know that's

I think you all have valid points. Here are my thoughts. 1. Overdiagnosis of FIP - this is way hard to estimate because the diagnosis is difficult to come by. In fact, the pathophysiology of the disease is poorly understood so it may actually represent a constellation of diseases. In the end,
