She’s going to be staying with me for a couple weeks, I will take care of her while my daughter goes on a trip she has to do. Is it ok to have cats around her? I got three cats recently. Is there anything else I should be particularly cautious/careful about while she’s here?

Allergy to cats is common. If she is allergic, exposure to cats may be fatal because of the cystic fibrosis.

where can I learn about natural cancer treatments for animals (cats, specifically)?
Question by answerer: where can I learn about natural cancer treatments for animals (cats, specifically)?
My cat has a cancerous leg lesion and I want to try to treat it naturally before i resort to surgery or radiation.
Best answer:
Answer by boifriday
It really depends on what kind of cancer it is = but with most of the ones I can think of, if you don’t use surgery/radiation immediately chances are it will spread, and then it will be too late for any of these to work.
I support using natural therapies where these are effective – but there aren’t any recognised for cancers of skin, bone or muscle in cats.
Feel free to discuss the options with your vet. Ask about natural therapies. Most vets can refer you to someone with an interest in this area, if you’d like to use it in addition.
Animals do very well after cancer surgery. Even if they have to have a limb amputated, they get around fine and do not appear to miss it. Many appear immediately happier, as the source of the pain is gone.

My only thought is to contact each veterinarian in the area.
Many of them are so kind and caring about animals; maybe one or more cares enough about people and their pets to do some pro bono work.

Ok, so I AM a smoker but…why don’t we ever hear of dogs or cats living with smokers getting lung cancer?
Question by girlygirlygirlygirlygirly: Ok, so I AM a smoker but…why don’t we ever hear of dogs or cats living with smokers getting lung cancer?
If it is so dangerous, (which I am not completely disputing) then surely the RSPCA would have been on our cases long before the NHS realised anything. I have never heard of any pets with smoking related illnesses. Surely they are as passive smoking as humans in the same environment?

Q&A: How much does a tracheal wash cost for cats?
Question by Jaclyn: How much does a tracheal wash cost for cats?
I realize it probably varies by region and vet but, can anyone tell me a ballpark figure of how much this costs? My cat has respiratory issues and has been on prednisone with symptoms getting worse. I’m taking her back to the vet today for more tests. I’m just curious how much this procedure costs in case the vet thinks she may have some sort of bacterial or fungal lung infection so I’m not totally shocked if it is very costly.
Thanks!
Best answer:
Answer by Connie S
I would imagine it would cost a couple of hundred dollars. But that really does depend on a lot of factors.
But since the cat needs to be sedated, that is usually a hundred dollars (US) right there. Then usually they recommend blood work (about fifty) and then there is the time and skill involved in the proceedure.
Your vet can give you an estimate before you agree to anything.

Lung cancer in cats?
Question by Gevera Bert: Lung cancer in cats?
My cat has a mass in his lung, most likely cancer. He is almost 14. The only treatment option we have is to take out his lung which I feel would be cruel at his age. Right now he has no outward symptoms.
Has anyone else gone through this? What can I expect? My other cat died last year of a heart attack brought on by congestive heart failure, and it seems that this cat’s symptoms will be similar from what others have said: lethargy, labored breathing.
Of course when he gets really sick I will put him to sleep, but I’d like him to have some quality time with us in the interim (however long that may be–any ideas?)
(Anyone who responds with hate will be reported.)
No one is allowed to smoke in my house, ever because I also have pet parrots.
My other cat had a hyperactive thyroid which caused his congestive heart failure.
My vet believes this tumor is NOT metastasized from anywhere else. The cat is very healthy otherwise.
Best answer:
Answer by Sarah S
I’m sooo sorry to hear this! My cat died of throat cancer, but he was about 17 years old. We put him to sleep. It was heartbreaking. I don’t know what to tell you to do except that the vet told us there was no other option but to put him down, Please take care.

X-ray shows a shadow (TUMOR) on cat’s lung, but blood work shows no signs? Is it cancer or benign?
Question by carolyn w: X-ray shows a shadow (TUMOR) on cat’s lung, but blood work shows no signs? Is it cancer or benign?
When we did xrays to do prelinary work before surgery for a very small mast cell tumor on my cat’s head (he has a good appetite, heart normal, breathing normal, etc), a large shadow showed up (in all 3) indicating a primary lung tumor. We see the Internist in a few days, but the cat’s blood work is perfectly normal. My primary vet said that had it not been for the x-ray, she’d never guess anything was wrong. No cancer cells in the blood work. This confuses me, a I figured it must be a part of the other cancer and metastasized, but that would show in the blood, right? Do cats have benign lung tumors? He is acting SO NORMAL…running, playing, eating, etc. BTW, he is nearly 13.

The vet needs to do a biopsy to be sure. Better to be safe than sorry. I wish you and your kitty the best of luck.

how can you tell the difference between an upper respiratory disease and a cold in cats?
Question by animal person: how can you tell the difference between an upper respiratory disease and a cold in cats?
Best answer:
Answer by hudsongray
It IS a cold. It’s a virus. Any cat who catches it will be having the same symptoms we have when we have colds. If it goes on longer than a week you need to start thinking of getting the vet involved. Home remedies don’t work well. A cat who can’t smell his food starts not eating and that causes more problems.
Lysine, while it is an ammino acid and can help the immune system, is something given for runny eyes and skin health, not to stop a runny nose and drainage into the lungs. It can’t hurt, but it’s not going to stop a URI.

What about cats? Read the detail.?
Question by : What about cats? Read the detail.?
I just figured out that dogs actually can smell cancer after I saw this one story on TV. So I googled about it and I found this:
ScienceDaily (Jan. 6, 2006) — In a society where lung and breast cancers are leading causes of cancer death worldwide, early detection of the disease is highly desirable. In a new scientific study, researchers present astonishing new evidence that man’s best friend, the dog, may have the capacity to contribute to the process of early cancer detection.
[source: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/01/060106002944.htm]
so my question is, what about cat? What is their specialties?

My cats also smelled my basal cell carcinoma just like my dog. The difference is that cats are much harder to train.
That’s the main thing, cats can be a lot harder to train, they don’t always work for treats and kibbles.

what respiratory disease kills cats?
Question by tazzmainiandevils: what respiratory disease kills cats?
I’ve noticed some of the strays locally coming down with a respiratory type illness. One of them ended up dying. Does this sound like poison or is there something that starts respiratory and becomes fatal within weeks?
Best answer:
Answer by Cat Lover
there are a few risks associated with any type of URI…one big one being…cats will not eat what they can’t smell, so they will not eat…those lucky enough to be rescued off the street have to be syringe fed in order to stand a chance.
There is also a huge risk of dehydration which can be fatal.
URI also presents the issue of a secondary infection developing and without proper treatment of antibiotics the cat simply goes down hill and is unable to fight it off.
Stray cats are subject to so many dangers as well as illness, the list is endless and of course something like URI is highly contagious…many feral or semi feral colonies will get it if one does.

What toxins in my house caused 2 of my cats to get lung cancer?
Question by RobynR: What toxins in my house caused 2 of my cats to get lung cancer?
We do not smoke. We leave windows open all the time and have fresh breezes. But both cats got lung cancer and went downhilll within a week of each other. I had to put one down; the other is a few weeks behind. I will hire a mold and VOC detection firm but can’t figure out what happened. Can it be caused by one-time exposure to toxins (like a tile cleaning service) or is it typically long-term exposure over years (like a slow natural gas leak or car fumes)?? I’m racking my brain.
The cats are not related. Both are neutered males, one is 12 and the other 17 years old. Both showed signs of illness in the past 2 weeks.
One had an aspirated biopsy that suggested it was primary lung cancer (but not definitive; could be secondary).
So unusual that both would get sick at same time, since I thought lung cancer takes years to develop.
Best answer:
Answer by AsiaWired
You’re ahead of many people in even considering toxins, good for you! Tracing which toxins you have, however, can be difficult. There are some possibilities that you might try, but not necessarily cheap ones.
1) You could take a sample of the cat’s fur, about half an ounce, I think, and convince a veterinarian or even an ordinary physician/toxicologist to send it to a laboratory for a hair-mineral analysis (HMA). It takes an experienced toxicologist to read the HMA report, because elements are often co-dependent upon each other, and a high (or low) level in one may indicate a problem with another.
2) You could check other potential sources of problems, e.g. water (is it high in arsenic, lead or cadmium?), crawlspaces (asbestos?), garage (do the cats like to sit in the warm exhaust of the car as it warms up in the garage in winter), etc.
3) If your cats have a problem, so might you. You might get your own hair sampled for the HMA test. The place to go to find doctors who specialize in these toxins is the ACAM website.

Cats and Cancer
Cats and Cancer
Article by Christee Gross
Just about all there for several reasons as there was always a huge variety to choose from, from the comfort of little kittens to your veterans, which would cherish a new loving home.While cancer in cats isn’t as common as it in dogs, it’s still one of the main causeof death in older cats. Using the Animal Cancer Foundation, 6 000 0000 cats will be clinically determined to have cancer in the us along. And growcause cats are masters at masking illness, it is usually harder to detect. Cancer once was a death sentence for cats, but recent advances in feline cancer research are making treatment possible on many occasions. Just like with human cancers, early detection is essential to successfully treating feline cancers.Common cancers in catsEssentially the most common sorts of cancer in cats is lymphoma. Other frequently seen cancers are oral squamous carcinomas, just like what people get. Fibrosarcomas, or soft tissue sarcomas, are tumors developing in muscle or perhaps in the connective tissue from the body. These are generally associated with injections and vaccinations. Other kinds of cancer are less common, nonetheless they do take place in cats: lung tumors, brain tumors, nasal tumors, liver tumors. There are actually fewer incidences of mammary tumors (yes, cats could possibly get breast cancer, too) since more cats are spayed and spaying is among the best ways to prevent this type of cancer.Indication of feline cancerPeople and cats both show similar symptoms on the subject of cancer:Lumps, especially lumps that seem to be getting biggerSores that don’t healModifications in bowel or bladder habitsUnexplained bleeding or a strange discharge from any body openingLack of appetite and fat lossDifficulty in breathingLameness or stiffness that persists over a period of timeBad odorHaving problems eating or swallowing foodIf you notice your cat showing such symptoms, take him for your veterinarian for just a thorough examination.DiagnosisDiagnosis will vary, according to the presenting symptoms. An exam probably will add a complete blood chemistry, blood count, and urinalysis. Your veterinarian takes x-rays, perform an ultrasound, and take tissue biopsies. According to the place that the biopsies are extracted from, this will require sedation, or full anesthesia. Biopsies might be reviewed with a veterinary pathologist to discover the kind of cancer.Treatment Treatment options for cats are almost as varied as alternatives for human cancers, and will be determined by any type of cancer. Surgery is easily the most common treatment for the lumps or growths that need to get removed. Sometimes, surgery can be curative. Other cancers may require chemotherapy or radiation. Cats are likely to tolerate chemotherapy much better than people, and may have high quality of life for many months and even just years following treatment. Radiotherapy can also be used for tumors that are not to be removed. This is a more stressful therapy for cats, as it requires sedation or anesthesia for every single treatment.Causes There isn’t all the research in the causeof feline cancer as you can find to the human side, but I wouldn’t think it’s a leap to assume that many of the same toxins in the environment that cause cancer in humans also cause cancers in our cats.
