    Mature cat diets

    Thanks for the message of support and advice.  It may well have been the nurse who I had to dismiss last week because she wasn't treating my partner well.  Simone seemed to have perked up when I told her too.  I have a new nurse who tells me she loves cats so it's a wait and see game.  Simone...

    Mature cat diets

    Simone is 14,5 years old.  For the past month I have been struggling to feed her.   She would enjoy the wet food biscuits - Iams Mature.  And because she has IBD, I would feed her some Hills AD mixed with Laxolon (lactulose) to help her bowels.  And then 1/2 a Prednisolone every second day. ...

    Puffy eye

    Hi guys - it's been chaotic on the home front and busy at work so I've not had time to give an update on Simone.  Her puffy eye has gone.  She's doing great.  I haven't had thecourage to try the raw food diet but I am feeding her a whole lot more wet food.  She's loving it.  Her coat is good. ...

    Puffy eye

    Your recommendation is a great one.  When I first wanted to take Simone in for her eye I left because the waiting room was packed with dogs, and one Alsatian that looked at every little dog as a taste bite.  It was a hot day and I asked the receptionist to call me when there was a space.  I sat...

    Vets vs. raw feeding

    Yesterday I went to the vet to get my cat more food.  Still the Iams Senior chicken pouches.  But I refused to buy Eukanuba Intestinals and insisted they have me alterate samples.  So I was given Eukanuba Adult Rich in Chicken with Liver.  She's still finishing her Eukanuba Intestinals but I...

    Puffy eye

    You weren't. I realised that which is why I explained what I was doing.  I can't even begin to tell you how depressed I am.  Everytime I look at a Photo of my cats, my heart just breaks.  Going to the vet makes me even more depressed, even why I just buy food.  I wonder just how many cat...

    Puffy eye

     thank you, oh wise one.  I'm not sure if you are misunderstanding the level of what I'm doing.  Just as we humans wipe the'gunk' at the base of our tear duct, I've been wiping this clean but using an eye wash solution on a small piece of cotton wool.  As to how often, I am doing this once a day...

    Puffy eye

    Hi y'all.  An update.  I stopped the drops after 10 days, deciding she had had enough of being trapped and eyes dropped.  I don't know how many of you have cats who pull at your heartstrings like this one.  Once I have dropped her eyes, she buries her head in my armpit and won't come out until...

    new to raw feeding

    I'm still stewing over feeding my cat raw.  Has anyone else out there tried changing their cat's diet at the age of ... well ... she will be 14 years old next month?
