Yes, she does move. But getting her to move more is a great idea.

I have a female kitty that should weigh about 12 pounds. She weighs 17. Eats dry food. Is there a formula for how much food she should have per day in order to lose weight safely?

At first, is the roughest. I had something like this happen before. Hissing, growling, tension, kitten chasing older cat etc. Once everyone was used to the smell and new home, they just did not hang around. That was as bad as it got.

Yes, I am going to put the question past them. I talk with them about every other day with a new question or request.

Charlie has been getting Bupenorphine for about a month now, twice a day for a uremic ulcer on the roof of his mouth. The ulcer seems to be disappearing. It is no longer red or pink, or bleeding. In fact, it looks like a scar now. I heard that Bupenorphine can be addictive in cats? If so...

I will be happy if my cat eats a full can of food per day. I heard a recorded add from my Vet when I was on hold saying if I have questions about nutritional needs to ask, so I did. They returned my message saying that my cat needs about 300 calories a day. Charlie was 11 pounds and now he is...

Hi. I would like to start up a conversation with her to talk to her about this. Could you please help me do that? I don't know how.

I need help with that, please!?... Starting a conversation with her, please? I went to a health food store today and left empty handed because the Slippery Elm was in capsule form and had other ingredients like vegetable something and rice something. I did not know if it made a difference, so...

Thank you! I want to make the Slippery Elm Bark syrup for the ulcer that is talked about on that page. What is the dosage of syrup that I should offer twice a day on the sore? Anyone know what that may be? I researched where I am going to go to get it, how to make it. But, no dosage amount...

Charlies bloodwork shows that he has CRF. The ulcer in his mouth, they believe is likely a symptom of that. He is on pain medicine for it. He is being syringe fed around the ulcer with about a 70% better success rate. I am going this evening to learn how to administer the fluids under his...

This morning the results of his blood work were available. He has Kidney Disease. The mouth sore, they said is apparently a symptom of it. He is starting treatment with fluids at home. I am going this evening to learn how to administer. I am sure I will do well, because I have already been...

He does better with dry food usually.

He has been getting Fancy Feast. Do you recommend a specific type of baby food I can try?

Very good. He is getting the Fancy Feast right now. Yes, perhaps the Depo caused these symptoms. He has always handled Depo well, but I noticed the excessive drinking and urination after his last shot. I have Ketone test strips. Is there an easier way to use the test strip though? I am...

My cat had his blood work done on Saturday. The office was closed on Monday due to the holiday. They are regularly closed on Tues and Wed. Therefore, I can't get results and any plan of action until Thursday. I do suspect that there may be some Diabetes. Weight loss, drinking large...
