    Cat barely eating and acting depressed days after vet visit

    I did ask another vet there the other day for some anti-nausea meds, but she refused and said she can’t prescribe them without knowing what is causing the nausea and wants to see him first. She did give me a couple cans of Science Diet I/D to try, but Tavi won’t touch them. I do have a tube of...

    Cat barely eating and acting depressed days after vet visit

    Background: My 9 year old tuxedo cat, Tavi, has an unknown tumor on his head (beside his eye, under the ear). The needle aspiration was inconclusive and he was put on steroids, as surgery was not an option for us. He's been on prednisolone for 6 months now with absolutely no symptoms from the...

    Cats Are Overweight Despite Low Calorie Diet

    Thank you! They are enjoying the Fancy Feast pate, so I may try adding the Friskies for variety. And I just took the long boy to the vet and was surprised that he actually did lose 2 pounds since we weighed him several months ago. A start. So, I’m feeling positive about the switch to Low carb...

    Cats Are Overweight Despite Low Calorie Diet

    Thanks everyone. The largest weighs 20 lbs and the other two weigh 15 & 16 (all males). Everyone is surprised at how long the biggest cat is. He’s long, but he’s definitely too chubby for his frame. It is a nightmare to change their food. It took me a while to find a wet food that didn’t cause...

    Cats Are Overweight Despite Low Calorie Diet

    I used to free feed my 3 cats until one of them became obese. The other 2 are overweight, as well. Then I switched to controlled portions. After a few months, all 3 are still overweight with no noticeable weight loss. I feed them all half a can of 3oz Fancy Feast Medleys twice a day, along with...

    Giardia Or Food Issue?

    Thanks, that appears to be what’s going on. The two vets assured me that prescription GI diet couldn’t have caused upset stomachs in all of my cats, since that is what it’s prescribed for. But, that is clearly what happened. They all started having normal stool two days ago, so definitely not...

    Giardia Or Food Issue?

    Thank you. That is what I’m hoping is the issue. I’m still disinfecting my house like crazy just in case it turns out to be giardia. If nothing else, I’ve finally got them on a higher quality diet!

    Giardia Or Food Issue?

    A few weeks ago my 13 year old cat Jenny starting vomiting with diarrhea. The vet diagnosed her with a hairball problem, so i was told to switch all 5 of my cats to the Rx Royal Canin GI food. (They had all been eating Pro Plan grain-free dry along with Pro Plan Focus soft food). I continued to...
