    What might you suggest for IBD?

    My vet is thinking that my cat's frequent vomiting could well be an IBD condition. She suggested a few Hill's Rx foods, but some reviews seem to suggest that many cats don't care for them. Specifically, she suggested GI Biome, low fat I/D, or Purina EN. Problem is, hate to buy a whole case of...

    How would I know?!

    I have a question about using Mirtaz

    I'd say that's a great answer, and makes perfect sense.

    I have a question about using Mirtaz

    No, she's never gone even a full day without eating. I'd say not even for a half-day.

    I have a question about using Mirtaz

    I know this has been discussed at length to varying degrees. I'm just a bit troubled everytime I use this, which is quite infrequent - about a month apart roughly. Still, every time I do it I have to wonder a few things. First of all, the reason I use it is that without it I sometimes get to the...

    Has there been a change made in the quality / type of all-clay litter?

    I had finished the older bag a few days ago - that stuff had gone in the litter box that's in her crate and has already been pretty well cleaned out already since she had used it so much. There's still some older litter in that box though. See what happens in a few more days. The company's...

    Has there been a change made in the quality / type of all-clay litter?

    I’ve been using this product for years: Cat's Pride Natural - Cat's Pride and it has always worked fine; however, most recently I bought several bags and it seems to be a different material. The color is more grayish rather than beige. I’m worried that my cat doesn’t seem to be using it. I...

    To get an ultrasound or not for frequent vomiting of food and mucus?

    Thanks Feebys. No loose stools. Have never seen that. She often does get her last feeding quite late - 10 / 11 pm - BUT till I get up (around 8 am) in the morning and get her food, it's often 8:30ish. Guess I should get my butt out of bed and down to the basement to get her an earlier feeding...

    To get an ultrasound or not for frequent vomiting of food and mucus?

    An old concern around her for sure I suppose. My cat, Marzi, had good bloodwork, acts and eats normally except for frequently vomiting after the first feeding of the day - almost exclusively, rather than other times during the day. Like clockwork - after about 3-5 minutes after eating. I suppose...

    Has anyone used these treats?

    I actually hadcome across that article, but thanks so much for mentioning it. Talked to the vet today and she mentioned that I could consult with more of a vet dental specialist. Have to find out where the closest would be and go from there. She didn't seem to think it an urgent situation but...

    What's the best way to administer gabepentin?

    Further discussion relative to above is on this thread Has anyone used these treats? I welcome any additional advice.

    Has anyone used these treats?

    I assume you mean beyond my usual vet who did the dental cleaning? The latest word from her is that oral issues are very common in older cats and once the tooth roots are completely resorbed, they are much more comfortable. It just takes some time. I'm admittedly totally confused on this. Does...

    What's the best way to administer gabepentin?

    So I couldn't hold out any longer on this and broke out the mirtaz tonight. Marzi has been leaving large amounts of food in her dish - the same food that she's been eating very well for the past many weeks. I hate to use this stuff but until I hear further from the vet as to prescribing some...

    Has anyone used these treats?

    No extractions were done. I was simply told that there's evidence of this resorption and that's probably why the right molar is missing. We're talking about resorbed roots. Are you referring to the same thing? I don't believe I ever encountered this problem with my other cat and so don't know...

    What's the best way to administer gabepentin?

    Thanks for this. If I try it, I believe I'll go with the pills and see if she eats them with pill pockets. She did the morning of the surgery. So disappointing that the eating has not improved following the teeth cleaning. I'm monitoring weight closely and might yet schedule an ultrasound. This...
