Yeah, ideally I would have her completely on wet, or even a raw food diet. She does MOSTLY eat canned food...but we have two other cats and we do put a quarter cup of dry food down for each of them before bed, since they don't eat much wet...just don't like it (we tried cutting them off from...

I'm so sorry to hear that! Will be keeping my fingers crossed for your kitty. It really sounds like a neurological issue, especially how you described the dragging of the legs and the loss of bowel control...those are definitely symptoms that can be caused by spinal cord compression/damage. My...

Hmmm.....I've been using WBCL for 4 or 5 years now and have never had a problem with it. A whole heck of a lot of pet foods contain corn products in them too and I've not heard too many occurrences of Aflatoxin poisoning. I'm thinking maybe the fungus only grows in certain conditions i.e. maybe...

Thanks for the warm welcome I'll try to get some pics posted soon. I'm in North Central MA btw Enjoying the warm weather today...nice to see some of the snow melting! -Tara

Hi there! Thanks for the reply I want to look more into Raw diets but my husband and I both work long hours and we have 3 cats so I'm not sure time and moneywise whether that would work for us right now. Perhaps I have a faulty view of how much time it takes to make and how much it costs? Do...

We are sending lots of prayers and positive vibes! I can only imagine what you are going through So glad that Mort has such wonderful caring people taking care of her throughout her ordeal...she is lucky to have you! -Tara (and Cali, Bonk & Kasumi)

Keeping our fingers crossed for Molly. Hopefully it is just the food change...I know with our cats what they eat does affect how much they drink. The more dry food they get the more water they drink. Sustained increases in water consumption are a worry though, and worth checking out. Keep us...

Hi all! What a great site Glad I found my way here. My name is Tara and I live in Massachusetts. My hubby and I are blessed with 3 furr-kids: Cali - The light of my life She is a beautiful Calico kitty, around 10 years old. We adopted her 6 years ago and I can't imagine life without her...

Hi all! I've been trying to find some low phosphorous foods for my kitty, Cali, who was diagnosed several years ago with very early CRF. She's been maintaining really well this whole time...just barely above normal kidney values, great appetite. She's been on Wellness Lite dry and Wellness...

Hi there We feed wellness to our three kitties as well. They definitely get the canned exclusively, but we sometimes mix up the dry food. Two of my furrkids have really dry flaky skin on their back right now so trying to find something that has a bit more of the Omega oils in it. Regarding the...

Yeah, we'll be starting an emergency fund now, and continue with it even if we do find a new insurance company down the road. We've learned our lesson, not to rely on one thing exclusively. I do want to say that some extensive surgeries can be worthwhile, if it won't put you in the poor house...

Hi all Just to clarify some points, I was not saying that everyone should avoid Pet Insurance. By all means, it has its uses. I just wanted to put our experience out there so that people can see what kind of things insurance may NOT help with, and so that folks won't be taken by surprise like...

Hi all, I've been seeing a lot of posts about health insurance and thought I would post my experience, in case it is of any help to anyone. I just want to say here that I'm not against inurance, but I do think that the companies do NOT make people aware of what they REALLY cover. They seem to...
