This morning, we had to rush Chloé (11) to the emergency vet after she suddenly became very unwell. She experienced severe vomiting and she had liquid diarrhea with a large amount of blood. The vets are running all kinds of lab tests. Please keep our sweet Chloé in your thoughts and prayers 🙏 as we […]
Last night we had to rush Vito (14) to the emergency vet! After he began vomiting repeatedly, we noticed he was also having trouble swallowing and was unable to eat. It escalated quickly so we rushed him to the emergency vet. At the hospital, they evaluated and stabilized him. Based on his symptoms and biochemestry […]
After 24 hours of round-the-clock intensive care — going through absolute hell as Angel’s metabolic system kept crashing and made us fear the worst — our minds simply could not accept that we might have to face the most heartbreaking decision. For five days, despite laxatives, he still could not poop… We tried everything and […]
Angel was discharged in the afternoon and is finally back home with us. To manage the severe constipation, he received two enemas. Post-enema X-rays showed that although he passed stool, not everything came out, so he will be taking a laxative for the next 3 days while we closely monitor his bowel movements at home. […]
Angel is stable tonight, but he is not out of the woods yet. He has started eating small amounts again and is drinking water, which are encouraging signs. He looks exhausted, but as soon as he sees us during visiting hours he starts purring away. New X-rays showed a large amount of dry stool stuck […]
For the past few days Angel hadn’t quite been himself, but there were no obvious signs that made us think something serious was happening. This morning everything changed. Angel woke up vomiting and then began straining to poop — large amounts of mucus mixed with blood came out, and he cried in pain. We rushed […]
After almost two months of settling in, Vinny’s long-overdue first veterinary checkup is finally here. Over the past few weeks, he has made incredible progress—learning to trust again, discovering how to play, and slowly growing more confident with each passing day. Because of this progress, we truly believe Vinny is ready for his first trip […]
Today marked our first vet visit of the year, and it was for sweet Mimi. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to fight the Calicivirus completely on her own, and a secondary respiratory infection set in. The good news is that Mimi has now started a seven-day course of antibiotics and was prescribed Doxycycline to treat the […]
Early this morning, we rushed Gigi to the emergency vet, where bloodwork showed that IMHA had eaten away at her red blood cells, depriving her vital organs of oxygen and causing a sudden deterioration. Despite the severity of her condition, Gigi fought until the very end—even the vet was amazed that she was still standing […]
After a long and exhaustive vet visit, it’s been confirmed that Cheeky has come down with Calicivirus. However, it’s still unclear whether this is the cause of her nausea and poor appetite. The vet explained that the ulcers are mainly on the outside of her mouth, and her throat is not that red or swollen, […]
Cricket won’t be needing more antibiotics— his eyes have fully healed, his upper respiratory congestion is gone, and he’s even gained a little weight over the last two weeks! He’s still just a baby with a sensitive immune system, so stress affects him easily and he’s now taking a supplement to help boost his defenses. […]
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 […]
