    wet food for struvite crystals

    My 3yr old neutered male cat came back from the vet a week ago after being there 2 days on a cath for blockage. He's just now finally acting like himself. He still uses the litter box frequently,not a LOT at one time,but no blood...BUT I am having a horrible time getting him to eat the hill's...

    diarrhea vs. soft stool

    sounds like the dry or wet food may be too rich. I have always fed my indoors cats pretty good food and they are the ones with the poo troubles (or used to)whereas my barn cats have normal poo and eat the cheap stuff....go figure. did your cat have probs before you added the wet or after?

    Himalayan Kitten with constant diarrhea

    sounds like the wellness is too rich for your kitten....sounds like he does much better on other brands of foods.....if you don't want to stay with purina, look for other good quality foods and see if they bug him.... but do a switch-over slowly. Good luck! My cat had problems with the "runs"...

    ever had your cats this easy going?????

    yeah,I guess you are right...they HAVE seen my dog, although through a door/window only. PLus he isn't all over the place and in their face, but I was still really surprised.

    Is it reasonable to ask a vet to come to my house to give my cat his shots?..

    My vet makes calls. Its 45 dollars for the trip (6 miles away) plus the charge of whatever he has to do. ......10 yrs ago he charged 30. I've had him come out for our cows but not our cats,but I'm sure he would if I wanted to pay the 45....

    less of regular food or change to light,to loose weight

    My cats like wet Friskies the best. I realize its not the best quality. I also understand that all wet is better than dry. Is Friskies wet an acceptable food to feed them exclusively? Or would you need to add a quality dry since Friskies isn't the best? I will be trying to add higher qual of...

    less of regular food or change to light,to loose weight

    I think they probably get moderate amounts of exercise. We have a very large house and they are all over it. They also love to chase each other and wrestle around until they are both panting. We have a 7 ft cat tree they climb plus numerous toys that they enjoy...in fact,the toy supply was...

    less of regular food or change to light,to loose weight

    Thanks for the advice. My vet thought they were a little heavy but felt it was from me basically free feeding them dry. So I am to slowly cut them back to what they are supposed to be getting...so we will see. I looked for the January issue of Cat Fancy but no one has it yet. They are all...
