Exactly, hoping it's a fluke. She's had no recent surgeries. Other than this she's never had any issues whatsoever. I've had her for two years and she's been to yearly checkups and they all were fine. But the bloodwork is a first since they don't cover that in checkups.

I'm honestly hoping it's a fluke. It just seems so odd. She was no where near the flowers. I wonder if maybe this is completely unrelated to the flowers? Who knows. The vet said all the other indicators of kidney stress were within the normal realm,the SDM is just the one thing that is making us...

Vet called me this morning. Cat#1 who had high BUN and SDM is now in the normal range for SDM. The vet said she isn't concerned about him anymore, he's pretty much out of the woods. Cat#2 who had slightly elevated SDM is now at a 20 (!!!!) when she was at a 15 before (0-14 normal range). All...

I totally get it. I did a lot of research on food before I got them and tried to get them on raw - but they just wouldn't take. I've tried 80% of the wet foods out here (and I'm in Canada so I can't get some of the stuff that people recommend in the states) before I turned to dry food. I kept...

I have 3 cats, Tofu eats all wet food and Kovu and Mila only started dry food once a day within the last month. They used to all eat wet for the last two years but it became unsustainable for me to feed them good quality wet food every meal :( They're very picky and stopped eating a lot of their...

Thanks Margaret. I really appreciate your insight, reading your comment really did help me calm down. I just spent the last hour playing with the cats, they seem totally happy and healthy. I'm hoping for the best, and I will give an update when I know more.

Sorry if I was unclear, I am a bit frazzled lol. You're correct about the values. I'm positive that my two cats didn't come into direct contact with the lily plant. Only POSSIBLY the bouquet water, which would have been at most a few droplets. They are eating, drinking, playing normally. They...

What I think I need right now are stories about your cats and lilies/kidney failure. Last Thursday was my birthday. I received a bouquet from a friend which they placed on my kitchen counter. When I went to go look at it, I realized it was lilies and immediately went to throw it out. One of my...

Hi all, I've got three young cats who have been on an all wet diet for half a year now. I'm thinking about starting my cats on a frankenprey diet and wanted to know where you guys source your meats (I live in Vancouver, Canada). I'm definitely aware of the benefits of a raw food diet for cats...

I've spent days researching cat food and the only universal truth that I've been able to find was this: there is no perfect commercial cat food, every cat food has its negatives. But by alternating between brands I'm hoping to provide more well rounded nutrition for my cats.  I personally will...

If you're feeding 5 cats on $30/month I'm sure the original poster would like to know what you're feeding them.

1) Realistically, $30/month might be a bit low to provide for a growing kitten. Remember, kittens eat 2x the amount of adults. A high quality canned food is ideal at that age since it's still developing. But ultimately, it really depends on your budget: whether you buy wet/dry food and what...

Fair enough. I've got one adult cat and two kittens so they go through food like crazy, hence the need to get a bigger can haha. 

Their CS rep said that the black flecks are the blueberry powder and the white film is 'just juices settling on top during the cooking process'. Basically they said it was safe to eat. I ended up giving it to my cats and they're fine! The Turkey Pate didn't have this issue so if you wanted to...

I've looked through all the ingredients. All the NVI Originals canned dog food can be given to cats. You can also give the NVI LID canned dog turkey/lamb/duck to cats. The only LID formula you cannot give is rabbit, which doesn't have taurine.  This was confirmed by an NV rep. Thanks for...

I've been looking into the Holistic Select Feline Grain Free lines since they're ingredients are good and the protein/fat/carb ratio is awesome. I opened the Chicken & Lamb today and there appeared to be some white gunk on top and some black specks. Has anyone had any experience with this brand...

Hmm, I'm hearing conflicting answers, lol. The Natures Variety Rep I talked to said that everything from the Original and LID canned dog line can be given to cats EXCEPT the LID rabbit. She said everything else has taurine in it so I'm a little confused about why those ingredients you listed are...
