Just started on the new batch of 4health grain free Turkey & Giblets dinner.  It was a funny color and actually smelled like feces; even if my cats were healthy I wouldn't have tried feeding them that, but they have IBS so no way.  Opened up two more cans so far and same story.  I'm returning...

Hey there!  I'm in the nasty position of having to bathe two of these regularly (twice a week indefinitely).  It's ringworm, so I've got no choice here. Thing is, it's cold here and they hate water and they double hate shampoo and they won't hold still for the towel and they triple hate the...

Oops, I'd edit the above post if I could--I just realized this is the wrong forum for this question and it'd do better in Cat Nutrition. If a mod sees this could you move the thread there please?  Sorry for the confusion!

My twins are Supermen!

Can anyone recommend either of these in particular?  I know it's on the cheaper side, but from what I know of ingredients they seem to be my best bets (I'm on a budget).  Plus, my cats have delicate stomachs and can't eat any of the dry food I've gotten them (it's possible they could eat the...

Sorry to double post!  Their stool is now solid but I'm worried again.  A quick rundown: -Both got a booster shot upon leaving the shelter, and were both definitely having diarrhea before I got them. -1 week of metronidazole; 1 dose of Profender; 1 round of Proviable -5 days of Panacur and 3...

Have you tried researching on your own?  Because if the vets won't give you any answers then that could give you a direction. I have very little experience to draw on, but it sounds like it could go both ways--any weird growth should be making you think cancer first, but older cats especially...

Ah thank you!  Unfortunately I don't know their ages, just that they weren't kittens six months ago so my assumption right now is 1-2 years, since they're definitely still very young and playful.  They also seem to have unusually high-pitched voices to me (for grown cats), but that's subjective...

I have two young cats trying to get over a bout of diarrhea, so I'm feeding them wet food exclusively, adding water to it, and leaving running water out (last week Pippin got dehydrated enough that it was necessary to take him in for subcutaneous fluids).  The canned food is 100 calories per 3oz...

I've kind of been suspecting giardia myself, so when I let the vet know that nothing had changed she prescribed Panacur (fenbendazole) for deworming coccidia.  I hear this also works well on giardia, and she's also got them on Ponazuril for that.  Unfortunately it's just a week's supply, but if...

Hey there!  I'm kind of at the end of my rope with this.  I picked up two brothers who'd been at a shelter for five months, and strays before then.  So I expected a little diarrhea when they came home, but this was foul stuff and they were ejecting it constantly and it didn't go away.  I took...
