    Weruva alternative?

    Im transitioning off of veterinary wet and dry food to all-meat wet food only for my 2 cats. One has always eaten the vet fibre food because she gets constipated. Currently she hasn't pooped in a couple days since I started the wet food only diet. My other cat has had interstitial cystitis so...

    Possible IBD, interstitial cystitis, and raw diet

    My 5 year old male cat, who has a history of "food sensitivity" and potential IBD, had a case of interstitial cystitis back in February and has been on Royal canin so urinary food since... Vet quality food as we know is basically garbage, and he's been throwing up a lot lately (often with hair...

    Cat throwing up

    Hi all, Last night my cat wouldn't eat his dinner, very odd for him. I found two piles of digested food vomit in the basement then watched him throw up some foamy stuff. He was sitting like a loaf in the basement. His breathing was rapid to me so I took him to the emergency vet. After a clear...

    Outdoor harness aggression

    Recently I've been taking my indoor male 5 year old cat outdoors, as he's very bored and gets into trouble inside. He wears a comfortable harness and I follow him around the backyard on a leash. He has all his shots to be able to go outside. The past few times we've been out he's been scared by...

    Odd behaviour...

    The past couple of weeks my 3 year old girl has seemed to be a bit slow moving, like having to claw her way up the couch instead of jumping, sleeping and relaxing more. She's eating and drinking and to my knowledge using the litter regularly ( I have 2 cats with 3 boxes). She just underwent a...

    Venturing outside...

    My cats have always been indoor cats as I firmly believe it is safer for them... Until now. My 4.5 year old male is severely bored inside to the point where he is causing a ton of trouble (tearing apart cupboards, knocking things over, general mayhem.) In February be broke his paw by knocking a...

    Rabies vaccine

    Does a rabies vaccine really need to be done yearly? My cats are strictly indoors and I keep them fully up to date on their vaccines, but as they are a few years old now I'm wondering if a full slate of vaccines in necessary every year?

    Strange bowel movements....

    So I've been playing about both my cats, but as I'm doing litter boxes I thought I'd throw this out there.... My 4 year old male, who currently has intercystitial cystitis but is doing better, has for a long time had these strange poops, pretty much since my other kitty has been on gastro fibre...

    Raw diet for health issues...

    I have a 4 year old male cat with interstitial cystitis (stress induced by breaking his foot I believe). He has abnormal stools in the sense that they are fully formed but a weird spongy, almost springy texture. His stools have been examined and he's parasite free, and the vets haven't been able...

    Metacam in Canada...

    My cats, aged 4 and 2, have been prescribed Metacam a couple of times orally for pain. Most recently my 4 year old male got 2 rounds of it orally for interstitial cystitis. I'm now freaking out because I'm reading all over the place that it causes renal failure in cats... I gave the correct...

    Interstitial cystitis support

    My 4 year old male cat currently has an inflamed bladder.... His urinalysis showed a moderate amount of red blood cells in the urine. I believe it was triggered when he broke his foot about 4 weeks ago. He has been on medical urinary SO food, wet and dry, and a powder glucosamine supplement for...

    Cat breathing....

    I have a 2.5 year old indoor only, spayed kitty and I can't tell if her breathing is normal. She had a little coughing fit tonight, and I don't know what abdominal breathing actually looks like. She's breathing at about 22 breaths per minute at rest, which I read is normal. I took a video but...
