Thank you everyone for your input! I am starting the Hills k/d canned (slowly transitioning) and also the vet prescribed a daily vitamin and liquid supplement (fatty acids i think?) so I will hopefully see some improvement soon. I did read the sticky info but wanted to get some idea about food...

Thanks greenjeans!

Mews, are these prescription or can I get them at the store? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, My 17-year old cat's kidneys are winding down with age, so the vet is prescribing the hills prescription diet for kidneys. Does anyone here have any other recommendations? I am not a big fan of Hills, and am hoping there is another brand - something that can be purchased at a pet...

what about that calming collar someone suggested? did you see that post? seems to fit the "cheap and easy" solution you seek.

Hartz flea treatment almost killed my cat - he started having seizures and we brought him to the vet and they put him on an IV drip overnight to flush his system of the poison. Hartz reimbursed me for all vet costs. They know they are guilty. See a website called Hartz Victims (google it)...

Nolia I just want to say that even though wet food is better for cats in general than dry, if your cat will only eat dry, don't feel bad giving it to her. Ok? You are doing your best, and are a good cat-mommy. --MissMyra

I am in the U.S. - I was under the impression that Canada had national healthcare, does this not include dental? Sorry for being a bit off topic... --MissMyra

My cat did the same thing to me - seemed perfectly healthy but refused to eat. I changed her food, and she immediately started eating again. I was shocked because she has always been such a chowhound, nothing could come between her and her food. Surely she wouldn't prefer to starve versus...

my cat is diabetic so she does pee a LOT, but she usually goes in the litterbox. however, i cannot have any throw rugs or area rugs in my home because she immediately starts peeing on them. thank goodness she does not pee on wall-to-wall carpeting. i have no idea what causes this but it is...

Just wanted to say I totally understand how frustrating it is to have a member of your household let your cat out against your wishes. Some people are under the mistaken impression that it is somehow healthier for a cat to go outside and roam around unfettered than be "cooped up" all day. I...

Mystik, I have moved with my cat several times in the last 17 years, and she has handled it just fine. There's usually a few days of adjustment (where's the food? where's the litterbox? where am I??) but then she settles in. Sometimes the move has actually improved her behavior! In my new...

Hartz is like the Kraft Foods of pet treatments - ubiquitous in the supermarket and fiercely advertised. If kraft macaroni and cheese starting causing seizures in children, you better believe that stuff would be off the shelf and Kraft would be bracing for bankruptcy. It sickens me, the ads...

I just wanted to get this post back in the loop because there are probably some new people here and I just want to inform/remind people about the dangers of Hartz products. If you want to read many horror stories, just google "hartz kills" or something like that. Also there is a website called...

so sorry for your loss. --MissMyra
