@She's a witch, yes they eat the Vital Cat freeze dried rabbit patties dry and the S&C rabbit nuggets dry (hanging head in shame). I have tried soaking them in water or tuna water, spraying them lightly with water or tuna water and they won't touch them. I know I have to take them away. They...

I just wanted to do a quick update. My poor boy blocked again. He spent another five days at the veterinary hospital. I was so scared and at my wit's end, so I caved and put him on Royal Canin SO. All of the canned foods I give my cats are grain free, low carb and low phosphorus. I am also...

Good news. The bloody urine has stopped and the volume of urine has increased. I also purchased another water fountain. and purchased Pet Well Being Urinary Gold. I'm praying it works. I'm still offering Royal Canin SO and Hills C/D Multicare. I'm going to try Wysong Uretic. I don't want...

I have not considered only giving canned because they LOVE the raw rabbit patties and dinner morsels. What do you think about me switching to a urinary dry food that they will actually eat. They are not eating the Royal Canin SO or the Hill's C/D Multicare Stress with chicken. I am going to...

Yes they are all neutered. There are 3 of us in the home: my husband, daughter (20) and me. He has no skin issues. I could definitely remove fish if it would help him. He has always been skittish about food and play. No loud noises at all. Is anyone familiar with Wysong Uretic.? I just...

Jem, thank you for responding. He has never had an infection or crystals. I don't think there are any peas or potatoes (or anything similar) in his food, but I am going to double check everything. I have 4 cats, all males. I adopted him and his biological brother together. My third cat is...

Wow, I haven't been on here in a long time. That means things have been going well! Going well, until about a month ago ... A little over one month ago, one of my male cats, 1 1/2 years old, blocked. It was a Sunday so I took him immediately to an emergency vet/animal hospital. He spent 4...

Thank you both. He is not responding. I am just heartbroken. We all know the day is going to come when we have to let go, but it is so hard. I am continuing with the antibiotic and appetite stimulant, feeding him the special diet and using a probiotic. He is not vomiting and has no...

My 15 year old male cat is really sick. On 11/13 he had a few drops of blood in his urine. I took him to the vet the next day (11/14). The vet did a geriatric blood panel and a urinalysis. The cat was fine until Friday 11/17 when he had some diarrhea, was very lethargic and was eating very...

Thank you for the suggestions--good ideas. I will try putting kibble into the trap for a few days without having it set to spring. I really wish the HS would let people borrow the traps for more than a week. What is the title of @lavishsqualor's thread about using a net to trap a feral? I...

I will take a photo of his eyes tonight (if I can) and I will post it. And I completely agree with you; he needs an antibiotic shot badly.

I got another trap. He has been back for three straight days and he is not going for it. I think I will remove the dry food I put out for him. Hopefully if he is good and hungry he will go for the trap. I am still putting Fish Mox in his food. The problem with borrowing traps is that you...

After being gone for 8 or 9 days (I have lost count), kitty came back tonight. He was very hungry and his eyes look really bad again. I am going to the HS on Monday to borrow a trap and try again. I have got to get this poor guy. I thought about not feeding him tonight so that maybe he would...

Not much new to report since I last posted. Kitty showed up this past Wednesday and Thursday night. He ate all the food with the Fish Mox those two days. But, I have not seen him since -- no show Friday, Saturday or Sunday night.

His eye looks very good! The last two nights he ate some of the food with the antibiotic, not all of it. But, it is definitely working. He looks good. As far as getting closer to him, it is just about the same. Two-three feet seems to be the boundary when I am standing. I cannot sit next...
