I think it would be a little easier but just worried starting with a new vet. I think what I will do since all of the feliway comes in today (and I am also going to give her some liquid composure) see how that does if I am not getting anywhere when I see the vet on the 22nd I am going my regular...

Ugh. I just so afraid of making her fear even worse by getting her to the vet. Although at some point I suppose it may be my only option. I have a vet appt towards the end of January so I think I will discuss with my vet in person especially if we have gotten no where. Maybe she can advise how...

Something I have on hand for some bad diarrhea times (the joys of IBD) is diagel. https://www.pattersonvet.com/ProductItem/078653727 Basically my vet gave it to one of my cats when his IBD flare up just made him have constant diarrhea. It magically stopped all diarrhea for many days. I now have...

Hi there Hoping someone can help. About six years ago, I took in two kittens (semi feral) into my home (I have a total of six kitties). It has taken many years for one of the sisters to trust me (she hides most of the day until she wants attention and to be loved on or go to bed with my...

Anne. I really encourage you to just get the thundershirt on Barney. My little Pumpkin was attacked by her brother and has been petrified of the entire family and has refused to eat. At my wits end with everything possible exhausted I tried the Thundershirt. She did the flop over and lay there...

Oh I am so sorry. I also lost a baby on 12/18/2008 in my opinion to FIP-- the ER vet did not diagnose him as FIP but the dramatic downturn in his health and the distended belly I am pretty sure it was FIP. I have to tell you it has made me watch the others like a hawk-- and my poor little...

Oh honey--- I know your grief and I can so understand. I just lost my Sugar on 12/18. My heart is so broken and I keep thinking-- oh god do I have to wake up and feel this way again for another day. I understand. Christmas does make it hard-- doubly hard because I keep thinking the live...

That was so beautiful.

Thank all of you so much. Today has been really hard and at times okay. I feel so silly for keeping crying off and on-- and then I have some peace. I started watching a movie and ended up just falling asleep until my mom called to check up on me. The sleep was merciful. I tell you in many...

Poor little CoCo! Please keep everyone updated. I am sending lots of good thoughts your way.

Thanks for the suggestion about the food grade earth. I do use this chemical outdoors (my babies never go outside) and I take great care to really only use it around the slab my townhouse is and around the perimeter of the patio. This helps keeps the ant hills at bay, but I needed something for...

Thanks MrBlanche for the idea about posting to the Crossing Bridge forum and the links. It was therapeutic to write things out and it is also therapeutic to read about others and their babies. It makes me feel less alone. Thank you so much.

SugarBaby was born to my found stray cat, Zoey, on January 31, 2002. Even though he was the largest kitten he was the youngest and born last. I ended up keeping all of Zoey's litter when I did not feel that I could put them at risk of being taken in by people who would not get them spayed...

A friend of mine said about the same thing mrblanche. She said that cats health can change rapidly even more so than other animals from her experience. Today is "better." I don't think that I feel quite as guilty other than I wish now I had not put him in the carrier and had been holding him...

Yes I like the idea a lot! They did such a sweet job in getting his fur. They got a mixture of his white and tabby belly hair. Makes me feel better to know I have it.

Thanks so much for the kind words. The irony is that 3 months ago I was also at the ER vet with his brother who had a nasty blockage-- now with the change in diet and the change in a few environmental things he is thriving. At the time, I had to do the minimum to save him because I was low on...

So-- I am pretty much a lurker. I have gained so much help and advice just from lurking--- food ideas, ideas to help prevent future UTI, blockage info, etc. I noticed in the past few weeks about once a day my soon to be 7 year old cat (born Jan 31, 2002) would cough. No hairball would come out...
