Thanks!!

Hi, So last time I gave my cat antibiotics I filled the syringe so that the liquid was in line with the mark for the amount I was giving (.5 ml). I ran out before I was supposed to, making me think I should actually be filling it to the point where the bottom of the stopper hits the line...

@LisaHE  and @Columbine  thanks so much for your suggestions! Anything is worth a try! 

Thank you! Do you have any sense of how much fish-based food contributes to UTI problems? I know the A/D food has fish oil, and her UTI symptoms have gone away since I stopped letting her have dry food and have been giving her the A/D, but I've been trying to avoid fish because I had some vague...

Thanks for the advice guys. The reason the vet thinks it's possible that it's benign is because she's only 4.5 years old, the fine needle aspiration showed no cancerous cells, her blood tests were normal except for elevated globulins (also associated with FIP, which he thinks she might progress...

Hi, As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a cat with a lot of health problems (which is why this is in Cat Health rather than Cat Nutrition). She has decreased in weight from 7.3 last August to 5.1 today. The vet says it's possible that this more due to stress (either from the health...

I try to do 1/2 tsp twice a day in 3 tablespoons of water but she's a small cat and it's...

It's so nice to have such helpful people to discuss this with! I have tried toppers. She is off and on with Fortiflora--some days it's best thing she's ever tasted, some days she's offended that there is powder on her food. I don't think she has a great nose and so she doesn't seem to realize...

Thank you both! Feeling better this morning. Penny has had a little bit of ACV plus 1/2 an oz of food every hour--hoping to get to 5.5!

Your forums have been so helpful to me, so sorry for making my first post such a long rant. I have a 4 and a half year old Persian, Penny. She is our beautiful princess (and knows it!). So the summer of 2014 I felt like she was acting kind of off, but we were in a new place, and she was still...
