That must have been utterly horrible, loosing two pets plus your mother within such a close time period - and all to cancer to boot. My condolences on your loss. I'm hoping it's not cancer - just IBD. But I guess I'll only know if she starts to gain some weight. I figure if it's IBD and she...

My vet told me there is no treatment for cancer in cats. He said it was fatal and that was that. The only reason he gave drugs was to see if it was the IBD and not cancer. He is trying to use the pills as a ... desease indintifier (sp?). I guess he expects her to die soon. Its like he is giving...

I'm thinking of buying a chub, possibly from barfdirect. Jafar seems to be improoving by eating raw chicken, so I'd like to try a prepared raw diet on her, see if she likes it. But she has allergies to grains and carbohydrates. Exactly what raw veggies do they put in the chub? I'm pretty sure...

I did a google search for yellow discharge last night and found that it may be the anal sacs. Apparently on each side of the anus there are tiny sacs that store a greasy yellow liquid. It's supposed to help a cat poop more easily. But if a cat has a lot of runs - like Jafar did - then the sacs...

My boy cat, Drizzt, has FUS. His body makes both crystals and stones. Both can cause blockage in the tiny urethra tube that males have. Oh, Drizzt eats both the dry c/d and the s/d. He eats 2 four-pound bags of c/d, then 1 bag of s/d. That's equal to two months of c/d, one month of s/d. The...

Well, my cats have had some dental problem in the past. Have you tried the blue oral jel on them? I buy it from my vet. You put a little bit on your finger and rub it on their side teeth. If they won't let you do that, try rubbing it on the side of their mouth or put a bit on their paw so they...

If you would have asked me a few years ago, I would have said dry... But now? WET food is better! Too many of my cats have gotten sick from eating dry food. I'm convinced the dry t/d was the thing that caused Sneezer's kidney failure. And it has led to Jafar's food intollerance (allergies) and...

Well, I think some people food can be bad. My boy cats don't seem to be interested in people food very much. Drizzt once in a while will eat some bits of cooked chicken as a treat - otherwise he only eats his c/d and s/d. He's pretty healthy, too. He does have FUS but it's well under control...

Well, when the doctor called me on the phone he said the results from the thyroid test was negative. Those were his words. He didn't say anything about numbers, as what the exact number was. He also collected a poop sample and tested it for worms. Anyway, I presume it was for worms. They had...

The Thyroid test was Sept 9 with the results 1 week later. They were negative. The only thing the doctor found recently was that her intestines were thickened.

Her Blood panel was on Sept 7. The Thyroid test was done a few days later. Her thyroid is normal. Her kidneys are normal - although her urine was a bit concentrated (but that was before I put her on the Natural Balance). Are there kitten foods that are free of grain and carbohydrates? Because...

Oh, I forgot to say the doctor doesn't want to do the surgery thing to get an intestine sample. He thinks it would make her sicker and that she is not strong enough for that procedure. So you can rule that out.

Can someone please help my cat, Jafar? She is a 10.5 year-old Maine Coon cat, spayed and is a lovely red (orange) color with a small white bib. Well, what's left of her fur is still orange anyway. It's falling out, you see. And it's GREASY. I actually have to water bathe her 2 to 3 times a week...
