My wife has already taken Izzy to the emerg, but I thought I would ask here. As a brief history note, Izzy had a liver shunt that was treated surgically in October - he is still on a low protien diet & lactulose though.
Most of today, Izzy was a little listeless & did not want to eat much at...
4 month old Izzy has a liver shunt, so we feed him a low protein diet. How much should we be feeding him & how often? I'm getting concerned that he is not growing
Just curious, Max (who passed away in March) loved to lick noses. My wife & I would wake up to Max licking a nose - nowhere else but the nose. Any others have cats with a nose fetish?
The saga continues....
As many of you may already know, Izzy has been diagnosed with a Liver Shunt. He is on a low protien canned food - Hills K/D.
CathyC uses Hills K/D & she definitely knows about Shunts, so for now I am following her reccomendation on food & feeding him Hills - my vet also...
Our vet left a message on our answering saying that she has been doing research over the week to help diagnose Izzy's problem. She thinks he may have a Liver Shunt. Does anyone have any experisnce with this? I understand from my research that it can be treated medically or surgically. Medicines...

This is on top of his...
Our little guy Izzy (who has had a lot of problems) has recently started peeing in his waterbowl. He is peeing blood too which was checked by the vet & they could not find anything wrong.
Does anyone have any ideas to get him peeing in his litterbox again? He does poop in there...
It's more of...

I'm a 38 year old professional male married for close to 10 years. I'm a Project Manager for a major hospital in Toronto. My wife & I have no kids (fertility issues) so we do...
We received 2 kittens last week. At the breeder they were eating raw food with the odd fancy feast put down.
When we got them home, they were both great & eating a mixture of Solid Gold dry & Performa Plus wet. To make a long story short, the male kitten got very sick - anemic to the point the...
