WOW - that's a great site. So far Dad's agreed to buy two little bags of different flavored Iams dry food just in case the dog doesn't like one or the vet wants her on a special diet to bulk her up. Thanks much!

Thanks for the info and prompt replies! I'll be sure to pass the info on to my Mom and Dad. Thanks again!

I know this is a cat forum but my parents are taking my cousin's black lab on Friday morning. This poor dog is the sweetest thing in the world - about a year and half old - and my folks will be her third home. My cousin and her family are unable to provide for the dog (or themselves for that...

I understand what you're going through - my Pushka refused to eat "healthy" cat food from the vet. She'd rather starve than eat those foods. Our last vet, an endocrine specialist, recommended Pro Plan wet food specifically the Adult Ocean Fish & Crab EntrÃ169e in Aspice - or more commonly...

I've been away for a bit and just logged on - Tom my heart goes out to you and your family. Tuffy seemed like such a sweetie and I'm sure glad he got to spend his days with you and yours. Good luck - you're still in our thoughts and prayers.....

How are you and Mishy doing? My Pushka was a diabetic from 11/99-11/05 (when she passed away of cancer at the age of 13) and I sympathize with you. Pushka required two shots a day. I'm also a diabetic and have been giving myself shots since 1993. The best advice I can give you is to...

to you and Tuffy..... My late cat was a diabetic and I know what a pain it can be to give the uncooperative fur kids in our lives meds... For the iron pill you can try something called Pill Pockets. Here's a link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...260581-2808100 I used to give Pushka a...

Purrs, and Love for you and Pebbles....

sooner - the Grandmeow and Grandpaw are up for a visit and so things have been a little nuts.... Pushka's specialist didn't like Fancy Feast - she said it had sugar and sugar related compounds in it... but then Pushka was a diabetic. These two furkids seem to be adapting to the mushed up...

My dad's favorite "hobby" while visiting is stalking the critters and trying to take their pictures. I can't tell you how many butt and tail shots he has..... Oh, and this is "us" doing the happy dance that your little man is on the mend!

last night and this morning. Last night, they didn't touch the meat and looked at me like I had given them some horrible poisionous thing or cauliflower .... This morning, they ate most of the meat. Yea! Yea! Of course, they slurpped up all the gravy first, played, and then came back to...

I fed my late cat Pushka a diet of dry food only until the late fall of 2001 when she lost half her upper teeth due to a nasty gum infection complicated by the fact she was diabetic - so much for the tooth protection thing Anyhooo, after Pushka's last bout with acidosis, I learned lots about...

Thanks for the prompt replies. I handn't thought about the tooth issue - I'll try mooshing up the food with a fork tonight and hope we have better luck. Zissou'sMom - this is the link to the food I'm talking about http://www.nutroproducts.com/nccatpckitten.asp Hope its ok to put links in...

Hi, I'm new to boards and new to kittens (I adopted my late cat when she was 2-2.5 years old). I recently adopted two now tweleve week old kittens from a coworker who does rescue work. Lionel and Audra are a brother/sister duo who are so cute, cuddly, and into everything Anyhooo, I have a...
