    Diabetes...or not? And what to feed.

    Yes the friskies is canned. I'll check out the list and take it with me next time I go to the store. I feed the other cats Taste of the Wild or 4Health grain free dry. I have attempted to feed them wet, but if there is not dry food out, they get in fights. I tried leaving out less dry food...

    Diabetes...or not? And what to feed.

    I do have a meter and ample supply of my own test strips. I watched several videos on checking a cats blood sugar and it's not working. He won't let me hold his ear still enough to poke it. Might have to tag team him with my husband. He's eating the canned DM, but I can't get him to eat more...

    Diabetes...or not? And what to feed.

    My 13 year old male DLH Captain has lost some weight recently, as well as exhibited some arthritis symptoms in his bag legs/hip area. Took him to the vet and did a complete blood panel, etc, and his blood glucose was 399. Now, I've been a type 1 diabetic for 22 years, so I know that's incredibly...

    Affording wet food?

    I bought a few 13 oz. cans, but I didn't really bother to check the price on it. I used to portion feed my cats, they got their dry food twice a day, right before work and right after work. After doing this for awhile, I noticed that when the bowls were empty, I had horrible cat fights. So, I...

    Affording wet food?

    I have lurked around here forever, and I know that an all wet or mostly wet diet is best, but I'm just trying to figure out how people with multiple cats afford it. I have 9 cats. All adults, most are "senior" in age, but not in actions. They have always eaten a high quality grain free dry food...

    perineal urethrostomy

    I went through this with my Henry about 7 years ago. After they did the PU, he actually then developed scar tissue that was trying to close up his urethra.

    Crazy, aggressive, destructive cat-advice needed

    Back story- Oscar was found by me, as an adult of about 2 years old, in 2007. A tenant of my dads moved out in the middle of the night and left her 2 cats and dog, and I ended up keeping Oscar because he showed up several days after I had already found paces for her cat and dog. He lived just...
