good news!

both are back to drinking more or less normally!

Since I’ve started changing their litter trey every day I’ve noticed they seem to produce the vast majority of their poop over night; so seeing an almost empty litter trey in the daytime isn’t automatically a cause for concern.

the male is still a bit floppy (which is very out of…[Read more]

They are offering you accurate information. At this stage, it is usually best to let them work through things on their own. Humping and chasing is OK as long as things don’t escalate. Just keep a close eye so you can intervene if necessary. I’m sure they will settle down again though. If Molly insists on humping, you could try the dummy technique…[Read more]

I actually do have this rug! I leave it in my room for them along with another litter box, but it hasn’t helped with keeping the poop in the litter box. Also, it tends to slip even with the non slip underneath it.

Yes, this is why I was asking if there were any other symptoms. Rapid weight loss is most definitely concerning. But, unfortunately, it could be caused by any number of things. Rapid weight loss alone is not much to go on. I would say it could be some kind of cancer too. The vet can do x-rays and blood work.

I have already signed a lease for an apartment to rent, so finding a new apartment or townhome is not an option, but quite honestly, I think that moving him to any new place would be stressful for him. Our plan right now is for me to leave Mickey with my parents for the fall semester while I get use…[Read more]

Did the vets suggest any type of course of action?

Uterine cancer is of course not an issue with a male bun, intact or not,  but there are other types of cancers that can affect both males and femals, f ex blood cancer. To diagnose that, a blood panel is of need.

Wasting, i e losing both fatty tissue weight and muscular mass, can be a symptom…[Read more]

Just thought I’d give an update, his face looks better but he’s still going to the vet and sorry it’s not a good photo, he was not in a cooperating mood

Yep about the age. He’s not neutered and I don’t know, she just said that they did an exam then took him to the back for a bit and brought him back to her saying that they couldn’t find anything but that’s about all I know.
