Hi, I came across an article stating that ingesting sodium benzoate is harmful (possibly deadly) for cats. I’ve fed my cats catfood with that ingredient before without any negative effects, so I was wondering how much sodium benzoate can cats safely ingest. I saw somewhere that it’s around...
I've never heard of Miralax before. The stool softener that the vet prescribed before was a very mild one. We're going to the vet again as he's becoming weaker so I'll ask them about it then. Thank you
I've been feeding him the powdered goat milk sold in pet stores but the effects aren't that obvious. I've never come across raw goat milk before but I'll definitely start looking for some. Thank you
Yes he loves water. I've been adding goats milk and water to his wet food and so far there have been days where a small amount of poop comes out. I considered adding psyllium husks to his meals but is it safe? I've read that it can actually cause more obstruction in the intestines.
I rescued a senior cat (around 8 years old) last year and he was in normal health aside from a fungal infection. He preferred to stay outside the house for the first year but recently he’s been wanting to be inside with my other cats more. That’s when I noticed that he was straining to poop most...
The day we went to the vet, he was in our house and tried to poop but couldn’t so we brought him. Yes those were the only tests. The bulge in his stomach is very obvious, and we thought it was worms but it was the collected. I’m assuming they didnt need to Xray because of how my cat reacted when...
Cat is a semi-stray male but hes living in the house while he’s recovering. Around 8 years old.
We suspected that he hasnt been able to poop -aside from some tiny tough stools- for nearly a month, as he usually does his business outside where we cant see him.
We brought him in to the vet and...
Male cat (~6 years old)

As stated in the title. My male tabby loves going outside just to roam around and pick fights with other cats, but we limited it to a few minutes with supervision because he got a thorn in his eye once and then was also bitten by a monkey (we live...
Planning to get the Veterinary Formula antiseptic and antifungal spray (because thats the only one available in the shops) but I was wondering if there’s any difference between the shampoo and the spray? Maybe in terms of the formula or effectiveness?
Thanks so much for the input. Agreed, I’ve never heard of such a thing. I haven’t gotten the full details about the vet visit from my relative yet so I don’t have much more to add about her condition. I’m definitely feeding her more wet food for the next few months until her next appointment.
My female cat (long haired, 3yrs) peed blood today. My relative brought her to the vet because I’m out of town and the vet said her bladder was empty, but it could be crystals or a bacterial infection from the litter box. They went on to say that male and female cats actually shouldn’t share...

Cat suddenly started peeing in different parts of the house. We adopted her at the start of the pandemic (3 years ago?) and the only time she ever peed outside of her litter box is on her first day at our house because she was scared, so this is very new...
My kitten was spayed 3 weeks ago and the incision site has mostly healed except for a lone thread sticking out of her belly. In the first picture (few days after spay) you can see that it's the excess thread and the second pic is what it looks like now. She keeps pulling at it when she's...
