About the health of a cat and are very clearly going to have to be answered by a vet? And above all have clusters of "going to the vet" answers. I wonder why waste time coming to us only when the veterinarian can help. I'm not saying they should not do, and of course the questions about minor issues like cat pee outside the box can be solved by general Answers community. Only medical questions really scary is what worries me. I see that I have difficulty choosing the best answer of all the responses very thoughtful and rich information already here. You are a lovely group. I was happy to learn … I think a lot of this is instant gratification, or generally want information. Some people want to get an idea of the worst, or if you want an idea for a veterinarian does not feel them it is snowing. Mea culpa, I already had an appointment with the vet, I was pretty sure in advance what was the problem, but the questions anyway. At that time, I just needed to see what others experience was, how it handled, and how much it would cost. Testing for the problems can be stressful for a pet and your pocket, and sometimes if there is an idea of the question, a specific test can be specifically. Moreover, there are certain issues that not all vets are aware. As an example, idiopathic vestibular disorder is only starting to be recognized by veterinarians as a non-fatal disorder (about 70% of cats who have suffered an episode of euthanasia were without good reason). I am happy to say that I was able to save the lives of two cats from people who asked a question about Since I knew the details of the DIV. Everyone said that either stroke or seizures, go to the vet, and / or the cat left. Even veterans of people said that put the cat down. When my cat had her vestibular episode, I took him to the vet, the vet said put him down. A woman in the office said "give him a couple of weeks if not suffering," and here he began to improve. He is fine now, and later discovered further information about IVD on the Internet. I shudder to think I almost took it off, because the vet was not aware about a condition that now affects cats frequently in late summer. Have you ever heard of wolf worm or Cuterebra? Surprisingly, a lot of veterans who have not, in particular, veterinarians in the city. Out in the country here, I see much of that in stray dogs, and I take care of these cats myself and was able to describe someone to take care of it without a visit to the vet. I can also understand a pet owner with no experience who want to learn from the experience of people who have had many pets, or animals for long periods of time. So many times I've seen "blood in the stool," and I felt relief at the other end, when most people are saying, "probably worms, it will not cost much to try, at worst, get a prescription." This is a desperate economy here, and people who normally would not think twice about transporting your pet to the vet are trying to figure out how to put food on the table. Then there are people who can not afford expensive vet bills and it is expected that the community can diagnose your pet without the cost (or annoying, as is the case). I have spent many hours researching the potential problems of a cat can have, and often wonder why people do not just take the time to do that, especially when 13 years of age who cross there doing really stupid answers. Then there are people who just want to hit the head upside down, and we'll leave it at that.

I've a 12 year old Pomeranian that has had chronic knee problems for years. Most of the Vets we visited discouraged knee surgery due to limited success rates. So back in '07 they thought that she had developed arthritis in her knees, so I started giving her half of a baby aspirin with good results. After about a year, she didn't respond to the aspirin as well as before so we took her to the Vet and started her on Metacam. Halfway through '09 Tribble started slowing down, her tail would always be down, and was only eating half of her food. My wife and I thought this was due to knee pain, so December of '09 we decided to have the knee surgery done. We brought her home from the Vet and she ate as normal, however the next day she didn't finish her food and would only eat cat food. From there on she would only eat limited amounts of various things, such as egg and steak, but would not touch her food. We thought she was depressed so we waited for the cast to come off and see. Well, a month and a total of two surgeries later the cast comes off and the knee looks great, however Tribble still won't eat. We had the cast removed on a Wednesday and on Thursday we took her back to the Vet for the surgeon to double check her knee, which was perfect. We explained to the DR that she is still not eating, so the DR recommended a blood test. Friday I get a call from the DR that Tribble is in sever kidney failure, her BUN is 157 and her CRE is 8. *. The DR recommended IV therapy, which we did all Friday night and got good results with the BUN dropping to 86 and the CRE to 3.

3. To try and continue the good results we put her in the emergency vet hospital over the weekend for IV therapy. I dropped her off at our regular Vet that Monday morning to continue IV therapy and get blood work. Well the blood work came back worse, BUN 108 and the CRE 6. 6, what the hell? So all week I've been dropping her off at the Vet to get IV therapy during the day and the numbers have dropped a bit to BUN 104, CRE 6. 1. However her veins are giving out and they cannot keep the catheter in for more than a day at a time and are now on leg number4. Does anyone have any experience that can offer a suggestion? I want my dog's last days to be peaceful, but don't want to give up if there's any REAL possibility that she could have a recovery, even to the "manageable" level. After looking around, I learned — Kidney failure has the ability to be a potent adversary, and may not always respond favorably to treatment. In general, the body is able to compensate for a necessary amount of kidney dysfunction — 75% of kidney function must be lost before changes are seen, and the damage may be reversible or irreversible. So, anytime a situation like this occurs, it is easily life-threatening. Here are a couple of things to consider in terms of pushing forward or not with your pet: 1. It may be possible to pursue further treatment and diagnostics with a specialist. There are many universities and referral centers across the country with great, board-certified doctors in nearly any imaginable sub-field of veterinary medicine. 2. Step back and look honestly at your pet's situation and begin to consider her quality of life in your decision-making process. It might be difficult at times, but you have people around you — family, friends, veterinary professionals — whoever can all aid in your decision-making by giving opinions and support. The important thing is to not allow her to suffer without cause. –Notice that the above answer is informational and opinionated only. It would not be possible to give sound medical advice pertinent to your pet without seeing her.
