One of my cats has numerous medical problems that require special treatment. Oliver suffers from asthma and diabetes. In early 2000, he had his left front leg removed as a result of bone cancer. In addition to Oliver, my cat Maurie, who passed to Summerland in 2000, suffered from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, was FIV+, and went into renal failure just before he died.
In effort to better understand what was going on with Oliver and Maurie, I searched the Internet for information on their problems. Not only did I learn a lot, but my research also helped me develop questions to ask my veterinarian.
Here are some links to sites that discuss cat healthcare. Please e-mail me with suggetions as to links that should be included in this list. And here is wishing you a long, happy, healthy life with your cats!
