Thank you Dr. Jeff and Dr. Christina. No we did not do the thoracentesis (yet but may), and yes we are working with a homeopath. We were lucky to find an appointment with Dr Goodwin at one of the animal hospitals he visits for today. He was very helpful and we were very happy that we went...

I am in the NY/CT/NJ area. Does anyone know about cardiologists in the area? My cat is having respiratory difficulty with fluid in the lungs and pleural effusion. My vet suggested seeing a cardiologist/getting an echo to see if there was anything we could do to help. Cardiologists are very...

Thank you Liz! Good suggestions and we are trying some of them now. I never heard of the Virbac nutri-gel before. That is good to know.

Hi Dr Jeff, We saw no change from the Apis 10 M. She is not doing well - still not eating or drinking. On consult with homeopath we are going back to Nat Mur trying 6c instead of 30c. But Nat Mur 30c was no change or worsening symptoms last week, so it is hard for me to understand how this...

Thank you Dr. Jeff! We took Zoe to the vet today and she had subcutaneous fluids. She seemed more alert when we returned and she ate a small amount of canned food. Then for the rest of the day and evening there was no appetite/eating/drinking. It seems it is an issue with her sense of...

We have tried offering her just plain tuna. At most she might eat one bite and then only from my hand. But mostly she just turns away from it. I will try the petting right before offering the food and see if that helps. She was doing some purring with petting last night! I would have to say...

Hi Dr Jeff, She may have gotten a bit less of the Methimazole, only because she may not completely finish the small bit of tuna we give it to her in. But that has really only occurred over the last 10 days. The crushed meds in about 1 tsp of tuna was her favorite part of her meal. I saw her...

I could really use advice and ideas to help my sweet cat Zoe. She is not looking good and there has been a big change just over the last few days. Current situation: Zoe has had reduced appetite for about 3 weeks. The last 10 days she has eaten very little. She seems interested in eating...

I have two 17 year old cats. My daughter has a friend staying with us this weekend and she is bringing her small dog (Corgipoo, 10 months old). The friend has asked if we can dog sit (the dog stays with us) for a week or two this summer. We would be happy to but are concerned about the...

Such great resources and suggestions. Thank you for sharing these! I will follow up to see how I can help Zoe to feel better. Zoe is looking a little more alert and has more interest in food this morning.

Thank you Dr Christina! I will try the rescue remedy. Sounds like you have some experience with the assisi loop. Definitely interested in learning more about the CBD. I would love to find chiropractic or acupuncture in my area. I have done some googling already but nothing popping out. Is...

I need some advice regarding my cat Zoe (17yo). She has stiffness, spondylosis, arthritis in her lower spine. She also has some bad mats in her hind area. Yesterday afternoon I combed over her lower spine and cut some of the mats out. Whatever I did aggravated whatever discomfort or pain...
