Duct tape is easier for you, but not for the kitty. Like you said already, one of her paws became inflamed and she was limping. I'm not meaning to sound harsh because you seem like a really dedicated pet owner but you absolutely cannot do that again. Go to any store like Walmart, Target, any...

Giving this a bump. 

If you can, go all wet food all the time. I was glad to see you are already using Wellness brand, it really is great for kitties with digestion and tummy issues.   I am worried about him becoming dehydrated and then urinary and kidney issues popping up as a result. If you can get him a fountain...

Last night when I was snuggling with the beast I noticed that the fur around his neck, where his collar rests, had thinned considerably and the skin seemed very dry. Almost as if he had over groomed and chewed it off but it's in a spot that he absolutely could not reach. When I run my fingers...

I found the Primal Raw Unpasturized Goat's milk and have him his first serving at dinner - he ate it like normal so I don't forsee having a problem with getting him to eat it. Can anyone who has used it with their kitties speak to how well it workes and what for?

Gizmo, who turns 13 in July, just got back from his yearly check-up and got a great bill of health. His pre-Mega Colon is at the same, minimal stage (no surgery needed) and treated by the same daily dose of Laculose as last year (4ml 1 or 2 times daily) but he has lost 2 pounds in the last 2...

My cat takes Laculose everday. Start giving small amounts and keep giving more until she poops every day or every other day, give a little less if it causes her to have diarreah. Wet food only, dry food is terrible. You can even mix water into the food with the laculose to make it like...

I'm not kidding. 12 and a half year old strictly indoor, male cat on wet food only diet. Gizmo was snuggling in my lap as I was petting him and doing my Momma Cat poking and prodding to make sure everything is as it's supposed to be on his squishy little loveable body when my hand glanced a...

thank you for all the helpful replies! He is on a wet food only diet and has been for years, I even mix extra water in because of his age and potential urinary/kidney issues - we do not want dehydration to become an issue. Unfortunately he has had some issues with constipation and gets a daily...

Gizmo my 12 year old indoor only cat is scooting his booty after he poops, until this week where he has done it 3 times (that I have witnessed) he has only done that once or twice in his life. I know that it is most likely an anal gland issue and have made an appointment to take him in on New...

So he pooped 6 hours after the extra dose of Laculose at 4am Tuesday am morning and then again Tuesday night so I don't think it's constipation, or if it was I caught it early.  He didn't eat all day yesterday (his morning meal was still there when I got home) and I didn't add more for dinner...

Does Lactulose count as a medication? From what my doctor (his vet) has told me it's basically what they give babies who are constipated and really is just a sugar syrup.

I always feel like I need to apologize for being so reactive to even his smallest symptoms but this cat means the world to me and his health is of the utmost importance to me.  He relies on me for everything and I want to do my best by him.  Have you ever had any luck with Slippery Elm Bark. I...

Gizmo is acting off. I can't tell if he's constipated or maybe coming down with a UTI. Last night he seemed uncomfortable. He was sitting very gingerly on his belly and seemed to be excessively grooming his backside, although I couldn't tell if he was paying more attention to irritation from a...

Looks like he may have just rubbed his face on something or groomed too much because the patch is almost completely grown over and he never had any skin issues or irritation. Yay!
