Both cats used an extra large sized litter pan since the time both were in our household.
4-6 weeks ago Scout stopped using the litter pan and started going on our carpet. We found that she had a UTI. From all indications the UTI has cleared up.
We have a follow up appointment on the 31st to confirm. However, Scout continues to go on the carpet even though we purchased an additional litter pan. The litter has no fragrance. Tux uses whatever litter pan the mood hits him which irritates me. I have to think that this is a behavioral issue that perhaps was initiated by the UTI.

Steve Hatchett Post author The incidents involve both urination and defecation. Could the cause still be a UTI?

Christina Chambreau I want to agree with Dr. Krista that most veterinarians (and in my experience especially integrative ones) are more than willing to work with you being out of work. What skills can you offer the veterinarian (not necessarily just for the clinic – maybe she needs her house cleaned, or you are a skilled carpenter) in exchange for the veterinary care?
I would look for integrative veterinarians as they may be able to help your cat with some home care treatments you can do to help with any of their treatments. Learning Reiki will give you a tool to help your cat do better with any suggested treatments.
You can
go to the web sites for each type of holistic practice and use their referral
list to find one near to you. Many practitioners are members of only one or two
of the organizations, so you do need to go to every site to find who is near
you:
1. Wide range of other treatments: http://www.AHVMA.org, American Holistic Veterinary
Medical Association and http://www.civtedu.org.
2. Homeopathic veterinarians (these can often help you by phone if no other
holistic practitioners are nearby that you like): http://www.theAVH.org and
http://www.DrPitcairn.com.
3. Chiropractor – http://www.animalchiropractic.org
4. TCVM (Acupuncture and Chinese medicine): http://www.IVAS.org,
http://www.avaa.org & http://www.TCVM.com5. Herbal

I looking at a Sheltie puppy. I have located a breeder, but apparently has been treated, I believe successfully, for Puppy Strangles. Just a few questions: Is this curable? and are there any long term effects after treatment?

Jana Post author Counterargument =
– blood test for both guys is $300, panacur is $30
– fecal came back negative once already but often can come back negative while parasites present
– each fecal = 3 hour trip to a vet
– two dogs previously not allergic developing suddenly both allergies to something at the same time?
– Fergus vet says most cases, regardless of negative fecal, count goes down after administration
– panacur seems relatively benign, particularly when given with can food (or like) … ?
– vaccinations in September
– environmental exposure to critters high, exposure to allergens low (Winter time)
– Fergus vet’s reasoning = run the treatment and re-test the blood and pursue further diagnostics if not resolved (he’s convinced it will be)Thoughts?

When We Are Away They…
Normally Scout is feed separately with (dry) Purina Pro Plan.
When we are away they are both given the DM due to consideration to Tux and the inability to separate the food and the cats.
So my question is could the potential of having Scout switch between Pro Plan and DM once a week, lead to the UTI. She hates the DM and of course the Pro Plan is less costly.

Steve Hatchett Post author Scout was treated at JVC. I don’t know the particulars of the UTI results. Tux is fed nothing but canned DM (purchased at JVC). The only variation is if we are out for the day and the time of dosage of the insulin may be delayed as well as the Pro Plan feeding. In consideration of the diabetic needs the DM dry is available to Tux. Since it is more appropriate for Scout to eat the DM than Tux to eat the Pro Plan, Scout will eat the DM. The wet food may be gobbled up by both cats and the next feeding and insulin may be delayed leaving them with nothing in the meanwhile.

I am at work but, my husband is at home and just called saying he gave Paige, our Boxer her Heartgard and she vomited about 30 minutes later. He cannot tell if the Heartgard was in the vomit or not. Is it safe to give her another one later or tomorrow?
Thank you,
Dawn Gillispie

I would believe so especially if the dog isnt healthly, a pup or senior an or not current with vaccines, heartworm treatment, etc. I’d imagine so.
Tapeworms is the biggest risk. Many a barn dog have had a steady diet of all kinds of poop and lived to tell the tale however.
Good question. Glad nothing really scary is hiding in that. I’m not sure whether it’s so yummy or whether the guys wanted to “remove her marking” of their territory 🙂
