I lean more towards the vestibular disease too. She gets around fine, she just gets disoriented sometimes. I think the one vet thought possible CH because of how she eats her food.. sort of like a head bobbing spastic motion. She's a plain happy (CRAZED) kitty otherwise, but I get worried...

So I have a new 'special' kitten. She was found outside, and has a couple issues. She's FIV/FLK negative thankfully, but she either has an idiopathic vestibular problem, or she has cerebellum hypoplasia (took her to numerous vets, no clear diagnosis :\\ ). So since she's had such a hard start to...

6 or so months ago my cat was diagnosed with malignant mammary cancer, I had the tumor removed, but I know it was only a matter of time until it spread. Lately she's been having a hard time breathing, and I took her in to the vet yesterday. She said that she has very little lung space left and...

It's called SupremeV by Balance diet.. Apparently they use some sort of fermentation process and don't cook it at all... I'm not sure I'll try it, but wanted to get some opinions http://www.balancediet.com/tabid/197/Default.aspx Ingredients & Analysis Chicken, beef, eggs, chicken liver, beef...

My cat shadow is sitting at 20+ lbs, and NOTHING has ever made her lose weight. Thyroid fine, no diabetes, etc. She's been on grain free for over a year now (various brands) and nothing.. I only feed her less than a half a cup of food a day generally, and she doesn't get treats. My big...

That's an issue my cat Baby had 4 or so years ago.. She would be overly picky about what canned food she would eat, and then she stopped eating them altogether and all I could get her to eat was tuna. She also lost a lot of weight. It turns out she has IBS and had to be put on a round of...

I felt the same way with my first cat Shadow.. Until she had a pyometra and had a pus filled deformed uterus. She'll really be much better off getting spayed.

I just brought my cat home from the vet yesterday, she has fatty liver syndrome.. though they haven't figured out why she became anorexic to get to that point. I've been forcefeeding her a quarter can of a/d every 3-4 hours, but I'm worried I'm forcing it too fast and I don't want her to...

try feeding him on a paper plate and not a bowl. My fatty eats too fast and throws up a lot of the time, but it seems to not happen as often when the kibbles are spread out so she can't just inhale the entire bowl at once.

A lot of vets prescribe M/D for weightloss. A lot of cats actually lose weight better on high protein/low carb diets as opposed to the super-high carbs in traditional weightloss foods. (high protein/low carb is also good for diabetes, which is what M/D is). Your vet prescribing it to you...

Just be prepared.. since the deworming medication kills the worms.. you'll see them come out (and round worms are gross :P ) Just in case you didn't know.. but if she's staying at the vet, all the dead ones may be out by the time you get her back home.

Did his depression start when you got kittens? Even if they're not hostile towards the kittens, they can still feel like their 'territory' is invaded and react negatively (even if not aggressively). In that case it wouldn't matter how much personal time you spend with them.

Do you plan on keeping all of her kittens? If not, then yes it's unnessecarily cruel, not just to your 10 month old (which is young), but to the rest of the homeless cat population that needs homes.

Doesn't hills have a Z/D for animals allergic to everything? It's gross looking, but I think it's all hydrolized proteins or some such, which negates? the risk of allergy to a specific type of animal protein.. The ingredient list is atrocious, but if you can't get anything else to work.. You...

My 10 yr old cat Baby suddenly (as of today) has diarreah, and I have no idea why. She's an indoor cat, and has been on the same food for awhile now (innova evo). I know with dogs it generally helps to feed a bland chicken and rice diet, but my cat so won't go for that, so I need some help...
