All 5 of my cat and the 2 that have since pasted on dearly loved our drinkwell. Keep the flow slow. I also add ice to the water and they love the cold water. Of curse I had some that loved to drink from the bathroom faucet. Keep it up, they will. Good luck
We adopted 2 kittens after we had to put our beloved Tinker to sleep. They are now 5 mo. old. They are healthy and have been to the vet several times. Problem is loose stolls which may have been caused by wet food (vet said it was possible). Question is can I give them something like kaopectate...
Last complete checkup was in March. We go in every 3months. She was on Science diet until the vet said to use a Purina product Is Purina Cat Chow better?
This morning I found many clumps of fur on the floor from my baby Tinker. She is almost 15 yrs old. She has hyperthyroidism which she has daily meds. She also show slightly elevated kidney blood tests and we are giving her fluids sug-Q 200cc every other day. She semms fine, eating well, active...
I agree with getting something to calm her before a vet visit. I have a cat that gets vicious with the vet but the last time he was givena med to calm him and it went fairly well. Your cat may have thyroid problems or kidney problems and can be helped I would try to get her to the vet.
I have been feeding my babies with Science diet, oriiginal. Recently I bought the Advanced Protection Senior. The label says corn meal gluten and I don't see wheat gluten. I don't have an old package of the other. I am really concerned about the Science diet and am tempted to take it away. But...
I have a "pill shooter" Got it at a pet store. It looks similar to a syringe, pull the plunger back, secure the pill in the tongs of the plunger and quickly push pill in. Be sure you have in the back of the throat. Your baby will have no choice but to swall. I have a strong cat and at first I...
What about the kind of litter you are using? I have a cat that peed inappropiatedly and after checking for infection I changed her litter to clay not the scoopable. Some cat prefer that. Also change and wash box daily. Don't use soap with a citrus fragrance
First I want to thank all those who responded to my kidney failure question.My baby, Tinker, is now taking fluids with some persuasion and we will keep her healthy. I have another kitty, Clyde, who has hyperthyroid. He is on medication daily but he has lost a lot of weight. He looks so scrawny...
I did the scuff today and it went much better. She still fought me but about half as much as before. Thanks for the hint. I am suppose to give 200cc. Is this about right?
I have 4 cats and not one of them will eat the special diet. Theey have Sciene diet for hard food and fancy feast for wet food. With cats being fussy eaters it is hard to change at 15 years or more. Thank you for all your advice. It looks like general conception is the fluids. I will work work...
The vet said daily. She fights so hard I have a very hard time doing it besides she crys out like it is painful, My baby is almost 15. I have tried several ways. Put her in her carrier, she gets out. Wrapped in towel, she gets out. Had my husband hold her but he is disabled so he doesn't have...
recently told by vet that my cat's kidney functions were elevated. I do have the lab work print outs. He told me to give her fluids via a needle inserted into her back. She is not showing any physical signs of kidney failure. Just wondering what others think
