I just placed my first order through Chewy.com and I'm kind of kicking myself in the butt for not using them sooner. My Dood's preferred food is $.94 a can at our pet store and $.70 a can at Chewy. Between his 3 brands it is a pretty big savings at the end of the month even taking shipping into...

Freeze dried chicken! I thought my Dood loved store bought treats until I started giving him freeze dried meat, he even makes nomnom noises now! :lol3:

Wow, 3 weeks already, that did go quickly! Great to hear that everything is going smoothly. They are so cute and at that age where every day is a new discovery. If you're in western PA I can spread the word (we're in Pittsburgh), never hurts to ask your neighbours if you haven't already or if in...

Oh no, I was so hoping things would pull through for you guys. I can't say much that will help, but I do think that if both you and your husband thought it was the right decision - it was. When cats want to eat things, they find things to eat. Virtual hugs and healing thoughts to you all, RIP Ella

Many vibes for you and Ella! That was pretty close to what we went through with Dood - including monetarily. In Doods case, he was full of MY hair, not his own. We've hid all brushes and hair ties, but his litter box still often has my hair in it. He loves me a little TOO much :doh3:. If you...

I'm glad she is feeling a bit more herself, I think almost all of us here know how awful this kind of stress can be. I'm thinking of Roxy!

Poor thing! How is he walking funny? Is it just one leg or all 4? Is he dragging his paw/leg or is he acting like he can't lift it? Has there been a change in his diet? Any chance at all that he got into something he should not be eating (plants, food, foreign object)? Did he play harder than...

We went through this with our 5 year old cat for the first time this summer. The constipation was bad enough and irregular in regards to him always being normal with litter habits that the vet kept him for an enema (2 actually). We were advised pumpkin or miralax, like many others here. We...

One of my past cats Fuji did the same, though not quite to the degree your kitten does, you should try to get a video of it, sounds so funny :lol3: Our take on Fuj's behaviour was initially a hiding trick. But, the more we watched him over the years the more we started to think that he very...

Mama is beautiful and the babies... so sweet! So much for 2 babies :lol3: So glad to hear all are nursing, keeping the little ones and mama in my thoughts (and you and your family, things are going to get crazy soon, I bet!) :vibes::vibes:

I don't know what part of the world you live in, but have you tried all of the shelters in your area for low cost spay clinics? The shelters don't need to be in your area to give you referrals to vets that you may never have known about from web searches and phone books. I finally found a vet I...

Oh, I'm so sorry :( I've been keeping an eye on this thread and was hoping for the best :(. You've had so many hard times, I can't even imagine what you and your fiancé are feeling. Give those other fuzzy kids big healing hugs! :rbheart:

I haven't tried the soft paws yet, but only because I know I can't apply them myself (he hates having his nails clipped and is much stronger than I am) I completely forgot to ask the vet if he could handle it for me, thanks for the reminder! :bigthumb: Sivyaleah: it isn't only the couch, it is...

Glad to hear he isn't the only plucker out there! He does pluck a lot when he wants to play fetch, I wish I could play as much as he wanted me too, but I already throw his fetch papers (crumbled receipts only, he will NOT fetch anything else, Including regular paper) as much as I can. I am...

Gah! Lost my post with all of the math. Dood needs approx 252 calories a day to maintain his weight, to get to his goal weight he needs approx 220 calories, what the vet and I discussed was to keep him between 235-245 calories a day. When we went lower than that (which is only like a couple...
