Thank you everyone for advice. My boy is finally home. It’s been very very stressful, and when I went to get him he was very fearful and timid of the vet. The vet was not very optimistic about Pips condition since he hadn’t eaten in 3 days and still hadn’t had a bowel movement on his own. I felt...

What did you give your cat when you brought him home to help him go on his own? Same exact thing with my Pip, he won’t go for the vets. I just got off the phone with my vet and he says I can take Pip home this afternoon, he’s still not pooping on his own and not eating, so the vet is thinking...

I got the x rays back, but just the first one they did at the emergency hospital before they started him lactulose and the first enema. I asked the vet to send me the second radiographs and asked how much progress he’s made and when I could bring him home, still waiting on a response. Anyone...

The emergency vet told me with Pips size he could do 1/2 tsp twice a day which I will do once I get him home. She also suggested trying Lactulose. I’m just nervous right now I just want to bring him home and the vet is telling me he might keep Pip until he goes poop on his own, this is what I’m...

First I’ll explain Pip’s history. For the last couple of months he has been struggling with occasional constipation. I have tried a couple different remedies which have kept him going up until this point. I have tried pumpkin and pumpkin powder but he didn’t like it and it didn’t seem to work. I...

Thank you all for your replies. I’ve been very busy today, lots of other things going on with work and family etc. Olaf is starting to be herself more again today, as she was last night. Maybe I jumped the gun a bit. She has been very playful and is jumping and running around like she was before...

Well it’s 2 AM and I just did a whole bunch of reading on the Convenia because I was paranoid and needless to say I am absolutely terrified. I wish the vet would have let me know about the side effects of it. I 100% believe that her lower red blood count has to be from that. I asked the vet on...

Strangely, the vet has not given me any of her blood work records. All that they are giving me are breakdowns of care she receives and and the bills. When her supplement comes I will call and ask. The vet said to have a follow up in a month with her as long as she’s doing alright with the...

Hi everyone. Olaf got spayed on August 4th due to a pyometra. She is 8 and going to be 9 on the 26th. Her check up appointment for a CBC was on Monday. The vet said her white blood cell count come down closer to normal, because it was slightly elevated before the spay due to the infection...

I am relieved. She is finally getting some good sleep after all her hyperness the past few days. Thank you guys!

Hi everyone. Olaf, my 8 year old cat, soon to be 9 on August 26th, got spayed on August 4th due to a pyometra. She was scaring me on the Zorbium when we got home but she did calm down by Monday evening and finally had pooped since her surgery. She is eating and drinking well, and using the...

Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely check out Soulistic, I didn’t know Weruva made it. Unfortunately I don’t get to my Petco often, as it’s a further drive. I typically shop at Pet Supplies Plus regularly since they’re closer, but my store only carries 2 varieties of Weruva. I...

What he would do is he would take a bite or two of the wet food, then he would act like he is burying it by attempting to grab a nearby rug to cover it up. Or if there is nothing to cover it with he just “pretends”. Lol. He also sometimes grabs the blanket from his and Pip’s bed and “buries” it...

Hi there, I’ve also had UTI issues and blockages in some of my cats through the years. I started feeding wet food as a result, but they still had flare up’s occasionally. I discovered that giving them warmed chicken broth helped them clear the infection or crystals, which I gave them multiple...

I don’t know if this is relevant or will help your case, but one thing that I’ve found with my picky boy Graham is that if I sit with him while he eats, he’ll eat more of his wet food. He was an ex barn cat that belonged to my grandparents and he was only ever fed dry food and table scraps. When...

Thank you! I am very happy to have discovered this site years ago and now be apart of it!

Hi, I am new here but I’ve lurked around this site for a couple of years now and finally made an account. I am owned by nine kitties that I love to spoil but I am sometimes limited on a budget. Does anyone have recommendations for better canned food? I’ve been feeding a rotation of Friskies...
