We never had her dewormed, for she tested negative for worms at the vet when we first got her. She has stayed inside since. The vet has prescribed metronidazole 50 mg to her, which we gave her for approximately four days. Now the vet gave us a Purina powder of some sort to place in her food...

Are you thinking that her symptoms are caused more by her diet than a bacteria/virus? The only food that we have constantly switched on her is the wet food. We did feed her Wellness dry and she didn't seem to like it. She does enjoy eating Blue Wilderness. Also, she did have problems with...

Isabelle was checked for worms when we first got her. The medicine that was given to her was metronidazole 50 mg tablets. The vet just called and we picked up a powder made by Purina. This is to be given to her for seven days. Hopefully this takes care of the problem. And yes, we did switch...

bump! Anyone, please?

She is approximately 9 weeks old. Since we brought her home, she has had diarrhea more often than not and passed gas quite often. About a week ago, she threw up white foam, so I brought her to the vet immediately. The vet gave her antibiotics and told us to wait and see. Unfortunately, we...

Thanks Darlili! We had him for approximately 6 years. There is a funny story behind how he came to adopt us as his new owners. One day I was outside when Jules climbed into my garden. I decided to feed him a slice of ham (which became his favorite treat after that). He was homeless but had a...

Thanks Stephanie

We had no idea either; I was optimistic (perhaps in denial) till the end. We took him to two different vets. The first one told us that his kidney values were in the "gray zone." We decided to take him to a different vet one month later (closer proximity and for a second opinion) and they said...

Thank you very much for all of your help. Julez, unfortunately, passed away this afternoon. He stopped eating, heavy breathing, lethargic, and appeared to almost be unconscious. So I decided to have him euthanized (per the vet's suggestion). He is in a better place now than his last few weeks...

Hi Mrs. Green, That's great that your cat, Sven, is doing well. Jules saw the vet today and we brought home Purina CNM cat food. However, he is not eating it. In fact, he is not eating anything right now. I am reading mixed reviews about whether I should buy a low protein food or just focus on...

Great; thank you for the information. Julez is feeling much better today. I see to it that he drinks and eats enough. Getting his weight under control is my #1 focus and I will go from there. Gonna continue the reading (it is sooo long, haha). Thanks again for your input!

Thank you stephanie! I had no idea that this is such a common disease among cats. Could you (or anyone, please) recommend a cat food with a low % value of phosphorous? My cat, Julez, is very, very picky!

My cat, Julez, was diagnosed with kidney disease today. My follow-up appointment is scheduled for Monday where the vet is going to show us how to give Julez fluid. He has been throwing up every single day for 2 weeks, sometimes several times per day. Yesterday the vet gave him a shot against...

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I truly appreciate you taking the time to help Jules. He is such a sweet cat and deserves to feel well. He has not had x-rays done or had his heart checked. The vet only checked his thyroid and kidneys.

For approximately one week now, our cat displays symptoms of depression and seems sick. He started our by seemingly having trouble breathing, he now seems to be breathing better (or in a more calm way), however, he is now just inactive, staying on the couch all day and all night, in the same...
