Thanks a bunch!

I can't seem to find the replacement pump for the Drinkwell water fountain. I can only seem to find the Petmate one. Does anyone sell it or do I just need to buy a entire new unit? Thanks.

I can't explain why your experience should be so different, but changing to wet food has helped Bijou lose weight and his teeth are no worse than when he was on dry only. I guess what I was trying to say is that half a can twice a day might be too much for some cats. Then trying to get the...

Here is my 2 cents. When I got my stray kitten 2 years ago the first thing I did was get on here and research food. The consistent thought on here was get a good canned wet food. So in that first year I got a second stray kitten and did the same for her as well. When it was time for the...

I took her to the vet and they said to give it a couple of weeks to see if she can learn to pop it into place. If not and it is still bothering her then they would look into possible surgery. I found out this morning that she wasn't faking it. When I put down her bowl of food this morning I...

I'm sorry, I should have stated that she is 1.5 years old and about a pound overwight at 10.4lbs. I am going to try to get her weight down but she has been slightly less active lately.

This last week my cat's hind leg has been giving out on her. She will try to walk and the leg will just stay in place straight. She will try to walk for a minute changing directions but the leg just won't move. She will then give up and lay down. This has been happening about 3 times a day...

I have been looking for an electronic gravity fed automatic pet feeder that you can put dry food in. I am not interested in the le bistro at petsmart because it runs on batteries, I would like one that plugs in the wall. There is an Ergo brand on Amazon but the reviews are bad stating the cats...

I have been exclusively using Wellness canned chicken for my IBD cat and also feeding it to my slightly older cat as well for the last 3 months. About 2 weeks after using it I started to notice that both cats had smelly breath. I took the older cat in to the vet yesterday and they told me...

I always post this when someone has a cat with IBD. This was from another member and I am positive that it saved my cats life. 1. Remove ALL dry food from the diet. 2. Remove any food with grains. This is the most important...as no cat can process grains but it really, really kills the IBD...

Life around the house is good again. Thanks to the advice from lionessrampant I tried the Wellness Chicken and the Power-Dophilus. After months of her having diarrhea and going 4 to 9 times per day it only took 1 day for her to have a solid stool. I have never been so excited to see poop in...

I was suggested by another member to use Power-dophilus since I have an IBD cat. It is hypoallergenic and lactose free. Just a thought for anyone who has an IBD cat before they buy.

I am excited to try this Wellness and see how it works. I know that it is not going to be easy switching them but I am willing to put in the time and effort to make this work. Thanks for the help and the idea for Geneflora.

I have been doing alot of research and I agree that Wellness sounds like the way to go. As far as all the other suggestions it is pretty overwhelming because I am just learning about IBD. I feel like the first step is to get her on the right food and go from there. I am a little nervous about...

I bought a pet fountain for her and put her old water dish in the living room to make sure that she gets lots of water. If I put GSE and pedialyte in her water is it going to be ok for my other cat?

Well that sounds like good advice. Is there a good canned food that you would recommend? The vet at this point wants to try the SD sensitive stomach food for a couple weeks and if that doesn't work they want to take the next step, whatever that might be. My girlfriend's mom had success with...

We got her from a stray rescue organization and it has been 3 months now of constant diarrhea that smells horrible. She has had 2 fecal tests and one float test that has come back negative. She has been on Amoxicillin twice, once for a lump on her neck and another after her spay for...

Our cat had a lump on her neck for a while. At first they thought it was a swollen lymph node and then they thought it was a salivary gland. They put her on antibiotics and it kept getting bigger and smaller for about a month until it was gone.

And the battle with smelly diarrhea is on. While she was getting spayed we had a biopsy done and the results indicated "slight inflammatory changes", whatever that means. They suggested to have all the fecal tests done and put her on SD Sensitive Stomach. I will keep posted on results, wish...

Another quick update, her lump on her neck has been really small now for a few days so that is a good sign. Her stool sample came back negative so that is great. She has had diarrhea since the first day we got her and that was 2 months ago. I haven't seen anything close to it becoming firm...
