    Cat refuses to eat pills in pill pockets

    We have the same issue with our cat who we have to pill 3 times a day. We bought a pill popper. That was our solution. Takes some getting used to but now it's not a problem. Good luck.

    Feline Polycythemia Vera

    Wanted to update my cats status. The hydroxyurea was not keeping the PCV count down so we took her off it this week. Also, the phenobarbital stopped keeping the seizures at bay so we switched her to keppra, which worked for a couple of months but she started to have seizures on 9/4/2015 again...

    Need Grain Free Canned Recommendations

    Our cats love Soulistic. Weruva is the parent company but the Soulistic is much less expensive. Open a can and its basically chunks/shreds of meat in gravy. http://www.petco.com/product/110264/Soulistic-Adult-Canned-Cat-Food-in-Gravy.aspx

    Feline Polycythemia Vera

    Feline Polycythemia Vera

We have a cat, Nibbles who was diagnosed in September of 2014 with polycythemia vera. We have been having phlebotomies...
