    • Thanks

      From jaggededges November 9

      Thank you for responding to my cat problem. I asked the vet what type of fungus and how I can avoid it in the future and they said they did not know cause there are so many and there is no test to specifically identify what type of fungus. I felt frustrated cause I wanted to know what I can do the avoid this again. They did survive the dip so far, but they were sedated and are still recovering from that. Their pupils are still pretty big even in light, so I don't know if that is normal. The one cat they did a culture on from her skin and it came back positive.

      I just probably need to find a different vet next time. Anyway, yah thanks for the feedback and I will check out the Cat Lovers group.

    • Close Anxiety

      I have pannic attacks and gad. Seems to be worse in the morning. I take .50mg of xanix 3 time a day. on regular schedule which works better than when needed. had to catch attacks when they first appear. taking on regualr basis stops a lot of the attacks. Just a few breakthrough. tried paxil .20mg once and was halucinating and was much worse. will never do it again nor any other srri. Going to try therphy next with xanix combined. Star jan 10th. Hope it works better.

    • Open Pet Bereavement

      I have managed to fight and win the battle against anxiety and panic attacks, it was a long and hard road to recovery. Now I have lost my soul mate Piggy (my cat of 14 years)I'm having such a hard time dealing with the loss and grief. He died in my arms in may. I have just gotten another cat but it's not the same. He's a little close in looks but way different in personality. Right now I'm having trouble getting him use to my other cat.Being referee and stoping cat fights is not fun-Need advise
