Hi- It's been a long time since I've visited this site and just came upon your thread. Does your food contain gluten? A lot of prescription food has gluten in it. Some cats have a sensitivity to it and develop seizures over time. If it happens again, look into possibly changing his diet. I...

Oh, sorry. Thought he was still eating the Science Diet. So he's on Royal Canin prescription food? My kitten eats the Wellness kitten wet food and does very well on it. A good diet can go a long way to getting your kittens well again. You could even try raw food since it's more species...

Can you tell me exactly what science diet wet food he's eating?

How old are your kittens? What food are they eating?

Hi! How's your kitty? Haws can be a sign of dehydration, especially if he's vomiting. My old cat's haws are showing because he contracted the calicivirus and he became dehydrated from not eating.

Hi! Someone on here mentioned food...Can you guys look at your food labels and see if there's any gluten in it? Corn gluten, wheat gluten, etc...I told a client, whose cat has seizures, that gluten could be to blame so she changed most of the food and the seizures mostly stopped. Didn't...

Oh, gosh...Keep feeding her until the drug is out of her system. Hang in there and keep us updated!

That is the problem with Convenia. It stays in the system and if your cat has a reaction to it there's nothing you can do but wait it out. To me, that is a HUGE negative and I will never let my cat be injected with it. I made my vet note it on his file. I'm a pet sitter and I have a lot of...

My brother lives on pure junk food and he's healthy as a horse. Ticks me off, lol.

Wow...Any way you can get your vet to watch the documentary called "Pet Fooled"? AAFCO doesn't even really regulate pet food companies, it's just a guideline. They even admit it. It's so lax it's laughable. I'd run to another vet. That vet works FOR YOU. You pay him to treat injuries and...

I have a 16 year old male cat who gets the runs if I feed fish-type foods, ugh...So I have to be very careful to only give it to him at one feeding, maybe twice a week TOPS. He's a picky boy now and does love fish, sigh... I have heard it can cause UTIs but haven't experienced it from fish. I...

Cat don't digest corn well. They can eat it but they hardly get any nutritional value from it.

Congratulations on your new kittens!! I am taking home two kittens, myself, next week. What to feed....What to feed...The kittens are currently being fed Fancy Feast wet kitten food (pate) and Meow Mix dry food, ugh... I plan on transitioning them to Instinct kitten food (yes, they do make...

I'm sorry, my post wasn't meant to be accusing. I wasn't sure if you knew how many carbs are in the dry food. Also, there are some wet foods that are too high in carbs for a diabetic cat. When you are able to, aim for 3% or less. I agree the cat must eat. Sorry if I offended you.

Yes, I agree. Sorry about that. I always get alarmed when I hear diabetic cats eating dry food. But a diabetic cat should transition off the dry food as soon as they can do it safely. Sugar-laden carbs will not help the cat at all. Yes, NV is 15%. I used to read the charts online but now I...
