    Obsessively Biting/chewing/licking The Tip Of The Tail

    Hi abyeb, Thanks for the feedback. Should you be right, how is this sort of thing handled for cats? Surely there's no way I can prevent him from doing what he is, and I can't see the nerve getting any better if it's not left alone. I am at a loss and I'd like to be prepared before I bring him...

    Obsessively Biting/chewing/licking The Tip Of The Tail

    Hello to everyone, I would like to ask your opinion on this sudden change of behavior from Frenzy (10 months old male). Absolutely nothing has changed as of late for what concerns the environment, their life style, feeding times, play time (he gets a lot of interaction) and so on. Yet in the...

    I am so glad to hear the good news :) It was frustrating to watch from the sidelines as I was really short on ideas :/ It will be expansive but I believe there is nothing as precious as happiness and peace of mind, and your first post you made it pretty clear that a move was needed. The...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    Thank you all for your info. @missmimz I am not on facebook, but I'll definitely research those links thoroughly, thank you very much. @Antonio65 I am indeed Italian, I can have those probiotics delivered with ease. To be honest I was worried about using a product for human consuption and...

    Hi Brian, Sorry if I am late, I saw the notification that I was mentioned only now (great feature by the way, or I would have certainly missed this post!). First of all, all my sympathies to you. It's far from easy to travel and organize a relocation with a pet, I know that well! Luckily for...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    @Brian007: Poor Dudley, bless him :) Those sort of accidents must be even more annoying for them, it can become really sticky, I also had some rescues to do, sometimes after they already jumped on top of me and spread their love... and something else, juck. But as you say, they have to go I...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    I do have the supplement :D I'd rather stay on the safe side just in case my proportions are a bit off. I have been feeding Melody with raw meat for a long time especially while she was growing up (fun thing, it was hard for her to get used to it at first, she was a royal canin kibble addict!)...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    @nevroth She is thank you! I am just glad the nightmare is over for her. Right now the plan is to go on with raw beef + probiotics (in one of the first post there is a link to the one i use, it's been doing wonders for me) and add the pumpkin to the mix. Meanwhile however I will keep...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    First of all thanks to each of you, as always I am overwhelmed :) @nevroth I apologize once more, this is not exactly an easy subject to discuss for a foreigner, I couldn't explain very well. The one who lost 0.4kgs is actually my bengal girl. She's normally fine, eats anything and well...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    Thank you all for your kind words and advice. Today I have been to the vet to have both my kitties checked up since I am not sure if I mentioned it, but I had to go back to Italy for a week for health issues (nothing serious, just a very small surgery but I wanted my dermatologist I've known...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    I haven't really got a meaningful update yet. So far the james well beloved duck doesn't seem to be working very well. My boy's stools are almost liquid like and terribly stinky (I almost can't tell when the bengal girl goes, and they are on the same food now). Since he started on this food...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    @Brian007: Ahah well I don't really have problems to talk about it really, more like bearing the terrible smell... in fact, even if thanks to the probiotics the stool are "softish" but at least not almost liquid diarrhea like, every time I return home there is a smell so strong that it could...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    @foxden, A great idea, i'll try to keep track of all the changes and related effects. I did take pictures to show the vet at first, before the fecal tests, to give her an idea of how they looked like (gross I know, but had to be done) @Columbine: I probably didn't explain myself well enough...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    Hi all, First of all, thank you for the amazing feedback, ideas and general support, it will take me a while to properly look at and try everything! Concerning the diet it's a bit complicated. You see, my first cat was Melody the Bengal. Such a sweet, adorable girl, I fed her only raw meat...

    @foxden: Thank you so much for your posts, they are like a mine of gold really. Concerning the breed, he's a chausie, but he's an F6 or also known as SBT, in other words he's 6 generations removed from his wild parent (the jungle cat), and he's basically a domestic cat with no wild blood left...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    @Foxden: I'd define it as an informative post rather than long, so thank you very much for sharing. You do well to highlight the importance on following the full course of an antibiotic treatment. It really was a genuine leftover however, I think she was disappointed because her assistant...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    @foxden Thanks for the thought, aside from advice concerning probiotics and vets, I'd welcome any opinion as to what you believe my next steps should be. I haven't really got a lot of experience, this is only my second cat, and luckily for me, the first one never had any health issues so far...

    Possible IBD? Please advise me on what to do

    Hello, thank you for your kind welcome and answers. @CindyCRNA: I don't think he ever had a fever, never looked like he could have, the vet checked it twice when I brought him, but no fever. I am not 100% sure I understand what you mean for labs drawn, I suppose it means if I did any lab tests...

    Hello, I am new here and forums in general, thank you for having me. First of all apologies if this will be long, but I am trying to give the whole picture as best as I can (I am not a native speaker, sorry if you see any "unconventional grammar" or spelling mistake) I have a male cat that I...
