Please don't wait for a phone call from the vet. Get him in the carrier and take him there! They should have set up a followup appointment for free! My simba was seen for a check after 5 days at no charge. I believe he had a few scheduled followups at no charge. Either way, Max needs to be seen...

Is he still wearing the cone? One week seems a little too soon to have the stiches out and the cone removed. It's important that they don't lick that area and cause irritation. My guy has dissolvable stitches and wore the cone for 21 days.

I haven't posted here in quite some time, but I know there's are a lot of valuable information on this site, and I hoping to find some today!  My Simba had PU surgery at the end of January, after 3 blockages over the past 2 years, and has had the cone off for just about 3 weeks now. He's doing...

Thanks, xocats. I have thought of that too. I figured I would take everything else out of the equation first; plants, junk food, treats, and then go from there. If the vomiting starts again, she'll be back at the vet's. She has gone as long as 4 or 5 days without vomiting, but she usually still...

No, she still acts like herself, other than the lip smacking previous to vomiting. Even when she wakes up in the middle of night. She'll just start the lip smacking and within a few minutes she'll vomit. It's been two nights since the last time threw up. No signs of lip smacking either. The...

Thanks for the advice! I am calling the vet on Monday. She will usually see her in on the same day I call. It's not always projectile vomiting, but it's not just regurgitation. I was wondering if maybe a hairball would cause that, even though I never actually see one come up. She does have...

Thanks, otto. Yes, she is peeing and pooping normally. Nothing unusual, although about a week ago the poop smell was horrid! Back to normal now. She was spayed last month. I will check with my vet before I try pepcid. I just came from the pet store and the owner, who has cats, also suggested...

Would I be better off trying something for sensitive digestive systems? I have a little pet shop around the corner that sells the EVO and other 'healthy' foods. They don't even carry anything like Fancy Feast. That is where I usually buy her food. I belive there is another kitten formula they...

No, it's usually hours later. It seems to be in the middle of the night lately. It appears to be digested food. Awhile back I could see the kibble still intact and thought she was just eating it too fast. It was the tiny kitten-size kibble. I went up to a slightly larger size so she would chew...

Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I have been here, but I need some advice. I have since lost my 19-year-old kitty. I had to have her put to sleep last year. I now have a new rescue baby "Trixe." I've had her since 5 weeks of age. She has been to the vet for all her tests and kitty...

That's good to know. They are so odd. She hates, I mean HATES to take a warm bath, but she'll stick her head under a stream of cold water.... go figure but as long as she's drinking water, that's the important thing.

My 17 year old kitty loves her Petmate fountain and loves to drink the water right off of the ramp. So, I figured she would LOVE the Drinkwell and drink right from the waterfall. Well, instead, she drinks from the bowel and the water runs on her head ! I don't even think she realizes it. I...

Any word on Dusty ???? I hope she's okay.

At the advice of my vet, I'll be taking my kitty off of Fancy Feast and switching her to a prescription food, such as Science Diet / Hills KD or Waltham Renal Support, for her kidneys. I was wondering what the best way to do this would be. My vet said I could mix the two and slowly decrease...

I haven't had experience with that, but I would get back to the vet to get some answers. My kitty is 15 yrs old, with arthritis and she doesn't limp... she just moves sort of slow when she first wakes up. Sorry not much help .... good luck !

I'm just curious and I'll be asking my vet this question at our next visit..... When supplements are added /mixed in to the kitty food ( liquid or powder)and kitty isn't eating all of its food, are they still getting any benefit from the supplements????

Well Tinker seems to have started with the constipation BEFORE I started with the new food. I've been adding a bit more water to her food also. I have a call into the vet.... just waiting for her to call me back. I just keep hoping I'll get home from work and have a nice present waiting...

Well today will be day #4 that she hasn't done "her thing"... she won't go near her food if I mix it with pumpkin. Maybe pumpkin with tuna. Sounds like a terrible combo to me.... but, I'm not a cat. Any other thoughts??? I'm calling the vet this morning.

She was at the vet Thursday night... they gave her an enema and fluids, because she was also dehydrated. They cleared her right out. Then, she did "her thing" in the litter box on Friday night and hasn't gone again since. That's why I posted this question in the first place. I didn't know if...

Sorry Sharky LOL! .... but thanks for being concerned !! Gail - what do mean by " bathroom issues" . We're going through some constipation issues now... and that was BEFORE the new food even came in the house! That was the reason for her latest vet visit.
