Feline Flaccid Tail: Neurologic Localization and Sacrocaudal Injury Workup
Localize acute loss of tail tone while prioritizing bladder function, perineal innervation, pelvic-limb deficits, soft-tissue viability, and concurrent trauma.
Read →Feline Reduced Jumping: Localization and Diagnostic Workup
A practical workup for cats that stop jumping or miss targets, separating musculoskeletal pain from visual, neurologic, and systemic dysfunction.
Read →Feline Scooting and Perineal Discomfort: Anal Sac and Differential Workup
A clinician-facing approach to feline scooting that separates anal sac impaction, sacculitis, abscess, dermatologic and parasitic disease, defecatory pain, urinary mimics, and perineal neoplasia.
Read →Feline Dysphonia or Aphonia: Upper-Airway Localization and Workup
A stability-first approach to feline voice change that separates inflammatory laryngitis, structural obstruction, impaired laryngeal motion, nasopharyngeal disease, and nonlaryngeal mimics.
Read →Feline Plantigrade Stance: Neuromuscular and Metabolic Workup
A localization-first approach to feline plantigrade posture that separates diabetic polyneuropathy from metabolic, ischemic, orthopedic, spinal, and generalized neuromuscular disease.
Read →Feline Pleural Effusion: Stabilization and Diagnostic Workup
A practical sequence for recognizing pleural-space disease, minimizing stress, performing therapeutic thoracocentesis, and using fluid analysis to rank feline differentials.
Read →Feline Cyanosis and Respiratory Distress: Stabilization and Workup
A low-stress, stabilization-first framework for the cyanotic or dyspneic cat, integrating respiratory localization, POCUS, oxygenation, thoracocentesis, and escalation.
Read →Feline Jaw Tremor and Oral Pain: Diagnostic Workup
A clinician-facing framework for distinguishing prey chatter, painful oral disease, nausea-associated movements, focal seizures, tremorgenic toxicosis, and respiratory distress.
Read →Feline Icterus: Prehepatic, Hepatic, and Posthepatic Workup
A clinician-facing framework for confirming feline hyperbilirubinemia, triaging unstable cats, and separating hemolysis, hepatocellular disease, and cholestasis.
Read →Feline Hunched Posture: Pain, Respiratory, and Urinary Triage
A clinician-facing triage framework for cats presented in a crouched or hunched posture, integrating respiratory stabilization, pain assessment, urinary obstruction, and abdominal disease.
Read →Essential Oil Toxicosis in Cats: Susceptibility, Signs, and Treatment
A clinical reference on feline essential oil toxicosis: why deficient hepatic glucuronidation makes cats uniquely susceptible to phenols and terpenes, the higher-risk oils and product forms, route-specific signs, decontamination (why emesis is contraindicated), supportive care, and prognosis.
Read →Mirtazapine in Cats: Appetite Stimulant, Antiemetic & Dosing (Mirataz)
Clinical reference on mirtazapine for feline inappetence: the FDA-approved Mirataz transdermal dose, the Quimby-corrected extralabel oral regimen, CKD adjustment, efficacy data, adverse effects, serotonin-syndrome interactions, monitoring, and capromorelin as an alternative.
