Im wondering if anyone can tell me how long a UTI infection is likely to last once treatment has started. I have a 2yr old dwarf hamster and about 2 weeks ago she was starting to get really grumpy etc and wouldn't let us near her, then last week I noticed blood on her - we took her to the vets...

I have two girls. They are litter mates. And have only been apart for the first six months of their lives, and even then, they saw each other on a regular basis. Which isn't really my point. But anywho. I have had Neko from eight weeks, and she is a wonderful cat. I got her to replace my...

About a month ago I took Hyrum to the vet because I suspected he had a UTI. Well, I was right and he was given meds and was put on a special diet. Well the food made China throw up all the time so I stopped feeding them it and gave them their regular food again. When I took Hyrum back to the vet...

i have two cats in the house, they have both lived in this house for a while now. however, recently they have taken to urinating in one of the hallways in the house. they also poop there. i dont understand. we have even bought area rugs for the hall but they just go to the bathroom on top of...

I don't know what's wrong with my kitty! Last night I noticed she was walking funny so I put her in the bathroom away from the other 2 cats and gave her a clean litterbox and food/water. I sat with her for about an hour to observe. I thought maybe something was wrong with her leg because she...

Okay, so the cat has had a peeing problem for a loooong time. We did the antibiotics, he's been eating Rx urinary tract food for over a month, and STILL the uti. He's miserable. He licks himself, and cries. He pees outside of his box. And he WON'T drink water. I know he's dehydrated. But he...

Does anyone else here have a dog with food allergies. I have recently finished a food trail with Ruckus and now i am trying to figure out what he is allergic to. its looking like an allergy to wheat. he goes back to the vet in a couple of weeks and i will bring it up. this is his allergic...

Greg decided when he first got Nick that he was going to take him in to the vet for a check-up, just to be sure he was healthy. He decided to use our vet's office since we love them so much. Good thing he took Nick in! I could tell that Nick was a little underweight and needed to gain a few...

i have 2 female chinchillas in a cage together, they have never been with a male so i know they are not pregnant. i came downstairs this morning to find that their standing board had a significant amount of blood on it. i checked both chinchillas carefully and did not see any signs of injury...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that a guinea pig does not bleed in heat?

My daughter has a female that is in heat and it has started peeing on my daughter's bed......Has anyone had that happen before?? I'm so afraid she will keep that up even after she's spayed. (which is going to be next week). She's an indoor only cat....

Did You Know That? Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost immediately -- without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional "pain relievers."...

I am very worried and scared at this moment. I haven't been on to much lately cause life has gotten busy. I'm dropping in to ask everyone to please keep my A.J. in their prayers tonight. A.J. started showing signs tonight of having a Urinary Tract infection. I planned on calling my vet in the...

What kind of human food can you treat a ferret to? what can and cant they eat? I would like anyones opinion. When Im eating ... he wants in on whatever I got and hes pretty good about not begging so I want to share alittle bit but Im afraid to get him sick. So give me a good idea.

Before i tell anything about this, my first request is not to tell me "take him to the vet", cause i know he needs to go, i just cant afford the care it cost on the weekends... my cat tobbie is diabetic, i think this is part of the problem... or maybe hes just old... hes always been REALLY good...

I've got 2 kitties, 1 rescued male thats almost 3 and a female pure himilayan that just turned 1. Well we've never had a problem with our little girl in the past, but for the past month she doesn't want to use the litter box for anything. She will go all over the house except for in the box and...

I'm posting this on behalf of a friend, this is what she wrote on her blog and she has asked me for help: I have a problem. My kitty peed on my old laundry today. Twice. I got after her the first time but I thought maybe it was her kitty box, full or smelly ya know? So we got fresh litter and I...

...that one of my cats insists on peeing in. I'm not sure what it is about this chair...it's one of those folding mini-papa san chairs from Wal-Mart. It's been washed more times than some of my clothes. I'm not sure if there's a particular scent to the chair that he's identifying as a mark or...

My cat very randomly sprays/pees outside of her litter box. She seems to prefer down comforters for such acts. She sprayed a small down throw either tonight or yesterday that I just recently discovered and no more than 20 minutes ago peed on my gf and I's bed. I know that cats prefer certain...

I just got this email: As you can imagine I am in tears. I don't really want to talk about it right now. But I thought you should know.
