Our 9-year-old Mimi went to the vet today after not feeling like herself. The tests so far show some concerning results: For now, Mimi is starting on a special renal diet. Once all the tests are completed, the vet will decide on the best treatment plan and any needed medication. Mimi has always been such […]
Toby (10) was rescued on August 25, 2025. Abandoned, rather docile but very scared and stressed, painfully thin, injured and unable to walk. We rushed him straight to the vet clinic, where he was hospitalized and received urgent care. The vet has confirmed several serious health problems: X-rays showed that Toby suffers from severe arthritis […]
2 weeks into treatment, we took Chloé for a follow-up visit to check on her progress. While the Esophagitis is much better, the Caudal Stomatitis is NOT😿so the vet has opted for a FME (Full Mouth Extraction) to try to get it under control. RELATED: Chloé diagnosed with Caudal Stomatitis and Esophagitis On Wednesday 08/06, […]
After an exhaustive checkup, Chloé was diagnosed with Caudal Stomatitis and Esophagitis, the latter being the cause of her choking on food. While both diseases are manageable, the treatment is rather long and complicated, and the Stomatitis could become chronic (like Angel’s) if we cannot get it under control; thankfully it’s been caught early! Chloé […]
Sadly, we came back from the vet clinic with very bad news. A heart murmur was detected which the vet said could be due to various underlying conditions. Since Gigi is in her senior years and has lost a lot of weight, the vet thought at first it was due to heart disease however after […]
Bloodwork results have confirmed what we suspected; his blood creatinine levels are slightly elevated (1.7) which indicates he is now at the first stage of kidney disease. The use of strong medications to treat his Caudal Stomatitis, for almost five years now, have damaged his kidneys. The fact that he’s already in his senior years […]
After taking dental X-rays, Vito was diagnosed with a condition called Tooth Resorption. Dental surgery went well but it was a long and rather complex procedure because most of the teeth to be pulled were fractured. After 6+ hours in the OR, 7 teeth were pulled and fractured root fragments were succesfully removed. Last night, […]
Our worst fear came true! Only 48 hrs after taking Vito to the emergency vet, the Calicivirus has quickly spread and now we have a cat room full of sick kitties Kitty, Suzie and Mimi are the ones with cat flu symptoms. Cheeky and Frankie do not have symptoms and the vet suspects they might […]
UPDATE Nov. 5, 2024 We are taking Blackberry Melody (10) to the vets. She’s been feeling a bit under the weather lately, and over the last few weeks she’s had a severe and persistent cough. She’s eating, drinking water and using the litterbox as usual, so we are hopeful it’s nothing major but early diagnosis […]
