Just bought this for Shadow because I couldn't find the Diamond. I know that it's bad to switch her food but the roads have been a sheet of ice and it was that or nothing. It looks like a better food. Should I go buy Diamond today or just see how she takes to the Feladae. I don't like...

Can someone make my signature small? I never made one before and I am clueless. Thanks, Jenkitty

Vets have determined food allergies - but they are not sure what she is allergic to or what food to give her. I've tried the perscription foods and many, many others. So I figured I would list her symptoms and see if any of you feel that I should have cause for immediate concern and if I...

I have been looking through millions of foods and suggestions for my cat Shadow. She has an extremely upset tummy and needs special food. You name it, I've tried it from the perscription diets to Venison and Green Pea to organic and holistic. Just a question out of curiousity. I found this...

My cat will not use the litter box. Took cat to vet and he is ok. Do not use a covered litter box Changed the litter and used cat attract litter I have six litter boxes in the house. I've even tried emply trays and tried a sand box. (that was really hard to clean) I don't place litter...

Ok so Dumpster likes to use laminate floor as his litter box. It was the front landing and kitchen - yuck. But then he started to use the basement floor. At first I prefered it, but soon found that the concrete would soak up the odor and it was harder to clean. I bleached the whole concrete...

My cat is super shy and afraid of everything. After moving in to my new place over a year and a half ago he hid under the stairs and would not come out. we couldn't find him because there were boards and opening we thought too small for him to fit under. The exterminator said he couldn't even...

Hello all, I've posted here about Shadow in the past. She's got terrible allergies (I think) She's been the vet for the same symptoms 6 or 7 times (three different vet opinions). She gets episodes where she throws up and has runny blood as fecal matter. Trust me I do take her to the vet and...

At least it's not the carpet. BUT I've lived with it for years. First it was just poop on the floor and now it's both. I tried to work around the problem by offering him two clear trays that can contain the bodily fluids but he uses them once and them goes on the floor. So if I don't get to...

Shadow has been a very sick girl over the years with constant diahrea. I've tried all the prescriptions for food allergies including hills z/d, sceince diet senstive stomach, venison and green pea (she didn't like), and Iams. Then it struck me that one of my co-workers was allergic to wheat...

How can I tell if my cat has IBS? Are there medications they can take to help this that she could stay on consistantly to reduce her inflammation? What are they? Are there any over the counter? How would a vet diagnose IBS? Are there expensive tests involved? I suspect this is what...

Shadow is 4 years old and has had stomach problems off and on since I got her from a shelter at 1yr old. She's gone 2 times and diagnosed with food allergies and once with upper respritory infection. She ALWAYS is weezing and the URI never seemed to fully clear up. This last bout with...

I woke up this morning to Dumpster using the litter box to pee! Yey! I made sure I praised him for it. It was the Cat Attract litter that helped I think. But now we just have to get him to go no. 2 in the litter as well. Not sure that will happen anytime soon. He's so adorable I love him...

Just wondering if pet insurance has helped anyone out with vet bills? I was thinking of getting my pets on this for future health ailments. My vet office said that they wouldn't recommend it. Why would that be? Do most vets not take it? Thanks, Jenn

Hello everyone. I got on this board because my cat Shadow is sick and I am learning so much that I am now addicted so sorry for all the questions so soon in my membership. I honestly will not become a nusance (I hope). Just wondering, I suspect that Dumpster is partly Maine Coon. He has the...

Ok this is a nasty subject so I apologize first. I aksed my vet about this yesterday but they didn't seem concerned. I took a fecal sample from Shadow when I first found bloody stool to show as an example to the vet. Well a week went by and I couldn't get her in until yesterday. So I asked...

For those of you that have helped me out with my kitty, Shadow I wanted to give you the vet results. Her fecal was parasite free. However, her X-ray's showed thicker intestinal walls. My vet said this was due to swelling. He offered a few explainations. One being IBS. They other...

Can anyone help me with a checklist of things I should mention to the vet to get a proper diagnosis. I have had the vet charge me 200-300 dollars on two seperate oocassions only to switch my cat Shadow's food and tell me it's a food allergy. I have tried Purina One Special Care Senitive...
