I don't think it's food allergies.   He's been eating the same food since he was 8 weeks old (an all life stages turkey formula that all of our cats eat) and has never had any issues until now.  I'm very familiar with allergies since we have a Labrador with severe skin allergy issues that he...

Hi everyone, One of our younger cats, Ezra, who is almost 16 months old, has been compulsively licking his rump/very top side of his back legs on both sides for about the past month or so.  He has licked these areas so much that he is now missing a patch of fur on each side.  No, he definitely...

Just thought I'd come back and post a quick update. Ezra has made a complete recovery and is back to being a total piglet and naughty boy. We still aren't 100% sure what made him sick, but we're guessing either he ate a small piece of the mini rose plant or part of a Hershey kiss. Either way...

I saw and heard him batting something across the floor on Thursday night/early Friday morning and I didn't think much of it, thinking it was just a cat toy or some other insignificant object, but it must have been the Hershey kiss.  I had a small bag of them on my desk and he or our other kitten...

We actually discovered another possibility of what made him sick.  We found a half eaten Hershey kiss on the floor.  Half of the wrapper and half of the chocolate was gone and had teeth marks in it.    

I'm happy to report that Ezra is 100% back to his old self today.  :)

Okay, now he just ate a good bit of dry food!  I'd say my boy is feeling MUCH better now!  

These flowers actually didn't come with any food, which I thought was strange since the last time my husband ordered me flowers from there (1-800-Flowers) back in September on my birthday, they did come with a food packet.  These ones just came with instructions to water them.  However, I'm not...

Wow, I just went back out to the living room and he was actually PLAYING with the catnip sock I made him!  He was rolling around the rug while holding onto it and biting and sucking it.  I think he feels better now that he ate, or he is just REALLY stoned!  

I think we finally may be out of the woods!  I just offered him the rest of the wet food and he finished almost all of if!  This time, he ate for well over 5 minutes and didn't leave much at all.  I'd say he ate over three quarters of the can.  Soooooo relieved!  Maybe I can actually sleep tonight!

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "still poop in her stools," but, yes, diatomaceous earth is completely safe as long as you buy the food grade, which is extremely important.  Honestly, though, if it is tapeworms, you're much better off getting medication from a vet as there is no guarantee...
