Lindsey D asked:


On 6-1-08 my cat started showing odd signs. My usually hyper cat was just acting lazy. I thought nothing of it because well its a cat, but this morning on 6-2-08 my cat was listliss and just laying down mowing. About an hour later she started to bleed from her rectum. I took her to the vet and the vet has been pumping her with steroids, vitamin k, and fluids. The vet has also ran blood tests, coagulant tests, running a cathetar and using a heating pad. The vet is clueless about her condition because she hasn’t thrown up, there is just blood from the rectum but not her stool and all the tests have come back fine. I am a medical assistant, but this is so overwhelming. I love my cat more than anything and I just wanted some tips, advice or even support would be great. I also should mention she was diagnosed with feline leukemia, but none of her symptoms are related to that. We have also checked for poisons around the house, but it is hard when it is a cat. PLEASE HELP I BEG YOU.
Actually, my vet said that he was clueless. I have run up a pretty hefty bill and they are running every test. Kidney disease came back negative.

Kasumi678 asked:


My neighbor has a cat and she told us today (7/9/08) that her cats fur as been falling off on her nose and its turning pink. She says it could be Eczema, but I don’t know if cats could get that. I told her that I can look up some information that might has to do with this situation. If you are experienced cat owners or vet, could you please give me some information that has to do with her cat. Her cat is a female tabby (Black and White) with hazel eyes.
The cat does not have any bugs at all its just her nose and she doesn’t scratch that much.
She rarely goes outside and she stays inside. She doesn’t dig up things or play in dirt.

Dog eats cat poo out of litter box. Box cannot be high up as cat has diabetes and problems wit hind legs. Enclosed boxes are too small for large cat with health problems as well.
P.S Dog is smaller than cat.

Mandy asked:


Hi, last friday night my cat started to act really funny. Her back was twitching and her pupils were very dialated. She was very restless and hid under my bed for a while. She seemed to calm down when you would pet her back and scratch the part the was twitching. At first we thought she was just itchy or something and the next morning she was a lot calmer but her back was still doing the twitching thing. As of today she still does it once and a while, we can’t figure out whats the matter with her??

My upcoming living situation will require me to keep the dog in the same room as the litter box. Other than the smell, will it affect the dog in any way healthwise?
