I'm thinking about raw food diet for my kittens. The thing is I am not sure how safe raw food is in the tropics (SE Asia). The chickens are injected with antibiotics and growth hormones and the meat source - I don't know. But it is likely the cows and goats get similar treatment. Organic raw...

Dear Members, As you'd probably are aware I lost my cat today due to a combination of UTI & CRF. What made me decide to post this is to get your opinion(s) about what to feed your cats. I see a lot of posts here about which "commercial food" to feed cats. We fed his on both very affordable...

Dear Pat and Loving Friends, Snowy passed away this morning at 5.58am (+8hrs GMT), Singapore. We took him home from Vet B after 1.5 weeks of hospitalization for treatment and observation. Vet B became worried when his condition slid over the weekend. I decided to take him home yesterday. I...

Dear All, Snowy passed away this morning in the loving arms of my mother. He began to become restless according to my mom before 5.50am, after which started to retch heavily. I quickly began to prepare his medication for vomiting and placed it near my mom with a syringe of clean water for...

Member of the Executive Committee, that is.

All, I brought Snowy to Vet B yesterday and very glad to have found a new vet whom I confident of. She was very professional. She did an overall check to assess his health and we did some talking about his recent treatment at Vet A. When I told her what Vet A did to my cat, she was mortified...

OK, the current vet finally faxed his latest blood and urine analysis results. The nurse had a chat with the current vet to get a general overview of his condition starting with the UTI infection in late Nov '06. We had fixed an appt tomorrow at 3.30pm to see the new vet. Will post on the...

All, Posting here keeps me sane. My mom and I are now emotionally stabilized by the ordeal. I read the website to find out more info and yes, it helps (tx again, P . A good news is I found a vet here which prescribed subcutaneous therapy to CRT patients. I just called my vet to get hold his...

All, after reading your replies, I'm no longer feel helpless for Snowy. At least, I know now that there's a chance to see that he may live longer. I'll read up on the feline crt support website as posted by Pat & Alix (tx u) and also will check out all of the vet clinics in Singapore tomorrow...

Blood test done on Feb 3rd, 2007. Creatitine: 4.6mg/dl BUN: 124mg/dl

All, Thanks so much for your kind words and support. I'm feeling very low (& so is my mom) because the vet told me that chances of him surviving is very low. I don't know how the vets work in the USA but I think vet care over there is of higher standard than that in Singapore. It's "easier" to...

Remember Snowy, my white cat with UTI? His condition didn't improve after we took him home from the vet 3 weeks ago. His flu continue for 3 weeks and he was very weakened. He gradually lost his appetite and started vomiting. We took him back to the vet and he was put on the drip. 3 days later...

I finally took him home after him spending nights at the vet. A week before he was due home, he caught the flu. Sensing that he might be stressed in an alien environment (but with several highly trained nurses who were infatuated with the white crippled cat) and not seem to be healing a week...

Sicycat, the RX diet contains pork fat. My family and I are forbidden from consuming and handling pork and its derivatives. Before anyone points out that for the sake of Snowy's health if we can shut an eye about the lard, I'm afraid the answer is no. My vet was notified so hence the switch to...

Hi! Thanks all very much for your generous replies. Snowy did have struvite and he's put on the Feline Urinary SO 30 diet (http://www.royalcanin.us/vetdiet/felineurinary.html) since Tue. I got the diet name wrong in one of my earlier postings above. He's still in hospital and recently caught...

Thanks, #3. I just did a crash course on the 2 diff types of crystals. While I need to talk to the vet to confirm the type tomorrow, I suspect that it may be struvite since she wanted to put kitty on an acidic diet. I'll check with her tomorrow about the diff types of diet available for such a...

I didn't ask but the ones normally associated with UT blockage. Kitty's diet was a combination of dry (all day) and canned food. When he was hospitalised, he was fed an assorted of boiled fresh meat.

My 7-yr-old castrated male has been having this problem for the past 6 weeks. The vet put him on a course of antibiotics and Vit C for 3 weeks to clear up the infection thinking that no crstals were present until he was hospitalised 2 weeks ago. She withdraw his urine with a syringe to find...

I have a cat, neutered male , 6 years old who meows very loudly every hour if he isn't allowed to go out, even if it means 11pm to 6am daily. Telling him NO doesn't help. And if he doesn't get his way, he punishes us by urinating at specific spots in the house. We have tried to catch him in the...
