Pfth, my kitty growls at ME still. Bugger nose still doesn't appreciate me taking him in, vetting him, feeding him, giving him a clean litter box and trying to attempt to love on him. LOL. As requested, I'm seeing if IMG code works on the forum. This is my Bubba and Jubilee, the best...

I have 1 dog I have to put a towel down on my stairs landing because that is where she insist on eating and I gave up keeping her in the kitchen. The other dog stays on his mat in the kitchen. I started off feeding the cat where he always eats and just put his meals in the food bowl. He is a...

I gave my RF cat some quail and he snubbed his nose at it. Since that was the remainder of what I had in my freezer I gave him some wet food I have on hand for my senior cat. He ate like 2 bites and left the rest alone. So off to shopping I go and broke him up a hen for dinner which he chewed...

I have to clean Sara's butt after BMs, she can't reach. She loves me cleaning it. This is also the only time she enjoys my pup around. Now, when he goes up to her she immediately turns around to give him the back end.

I fed Felidae and all my cats really seemed to do good on it, but I decided to get weight off Sara and tried to go grain free and went with EVO before she gained 2 lbs. I would go back to again, grains and all if it weren't for the weight issue. I have to say they did good on this food and it...

Luckely mine love wet food so I don't have kibble addicts. They have no complaints finding wet food in their bowls each feeding and think they are always getting treats. I have always fed raw treats to them, but never with bones. I do with the dogs, but haven't had the guts to with the cats...

Thanks for all the advice. Unfortunately most of the vets I've talked to about this are not that versed at weight loss for pets aside from prescription weight loss diets and portion/calorie control. We spoke very in depth about it yesterday. He knows I'm freaking out. I bit the bullet and...

Zeus is 11.5, the one with newly diagnosed arthritis. He had a full blood panel on Tuesday when we brought him in for the possible saddle thrombus. All of his labs came back normal including thyroid panel. Sara is due for her check up and does not get a senior panel but I did have him check...

If I wasn't concerned before, I'm frantic now after the fiasco with Zeus, his heart disease and arthritis. His weight is okay for a healthy, active cat, but not with arthritis. He is now at 12.4 lbs and I'd like him to get down to the 10ish mark. I have another cat also who adopted us from...

Up until now they've always said that it wasn't necessary for heart medication. Even now it is just because we have a younger dog in the house and there this narrowing so we will be starting a beta-blocker in the near future. She wants him to get over this bought of arthritis first. I am...

I want to know everything about it. He seems to be in so much pain and only takes a few steps before laying down and having a hard time maneuvering in the litter box. My elder dog has had arthritis her whole life and it has never been anything like this. Do you give suppliments? I also...

Hello, I'm a new member and this is my first post. I have 3 cats but my cat of concern right now is Zeus, my 11 1/2 year old apple head siamese boy. He has congenital heart disease (left ventricular hypertrophy) and a couple days ago we thought he may have a saddle thrombus. By the grace of...
