: I took Winston, my cat to a new vet on Friday, I told her all about what the previous vet (whom I might add she forbade me from ever seeing again) had said, so obviously she had done all of the necessary tests and the results are: (drum roll please) My cat is not dying, He has a urinary tract infection, some constipation, a case of the hairballs, and an aquired food allergy. So needless to say she has given me medicine for him (in which if anyone has any tricks for giving cats pills they would be greatly appriciated - LOL) and had me change his diet and all of his "symptoms" are now gone. Thank soooo much for all of your prayers!
Was soooo glad to hear this when you told me!!!
I suggest crushing the pill up and sprinkling it on his favorite wet food. You can also try a "piller," a tool for putting pills in the cat's throat, but I personally prefer the easy, no-hassle way of mixing it in food the cat is sure to eat. ;-)
