I know that worry all too well. It will be a relief to you, when you get him to the Vet! Do not put it off.

Thank you for that answer, Yosemite. It seems to me that dry only facilitates UNDESIRED weight gain. In a cat you trying to get weight onto, GRAIN FREE WET is the ticket. It is working very nicely with my big, healthy boy ... who had access to unlimited DRY before I switched him. Not only...

I just dealt with a VERY MILD case of ringworm, here. And it was my first ... so I am emphasizing my lack of expertise! While Itraconazole is the least hepatoxic antifungal it is expensive, and Lamisil oral is a very inexpensive way to treat ... Lamisil cream used at the same time really...

TWEN - GASP! - TY pounds? Pant, pant, pant! My Choochie is under TWELVE and does this to me! He wakes me by gazing into my fade and purring, while sitting on my chest! Little Walt on the other hand PERCHES on my hip! and I can roll 180 degrees, and he log-rolls, right along to the other...

Bumping for another Puff update -- they cheer me up!

I took invertebrate zoo from a parasitologist who wormed ALL of his pets, MONTHLY. I think you have to look at risk realistically, though. And the odds of being infected from your pets are actually overall quite low compared with many of the things we face daily. For instance, freeway driving ...

I think it is terrific that you took Boo along. You are very sensitive to do that, and I am sure it helped. I agree with worriedmommy -- talk to him! It made a big difference when I commiserated with Walter, this summer. I would say, yes, I miss him terribly, too, every time he did the...

I have a daughter from Calcutta. I cook LOTS of Indian food and always have, actually. Classic curry contains ONIONS and GARLIC. These are not good for cats and can cause anemia. Plus the effects of the myriad spices (including sometimes WHOLE SEEDS) is not known, but it cannot be great...

YEP, when you have a cat, you are CO-DEPENDENT! You must adapt your behavior to their mis-behavior. LOL. I learned long ago to put stuff my Mom always used to leave out, away. Then I got an IBD cat ... and had to teach the kids to climb under their chairs and pick ALL the crumbs up, after...

People do it all the time. I mean people who know what they are doing ... I cannot tell you specific brands, but I know there are people with IBD cats who just supplement high-protein dog food with additional Taurine.

Walter's favorite flavor of cat food is ... SNEAKED or STOLEN! Really, it is the only naughtiness he permits himself.

Vet charges are what they are due to overhead. Including ... malpractice insurance ... attorney fees ... consultant fees to prevent malpractice suits ... security systems ... you name it. So they must pay for things that do not benefit you or your pet directly.

Raw is much better than dry ... I have had Walter on NV frozen raw for 2 weeks and he is doing GREAT! And he loves it.

GO, PUFF! Fight that nasty blasto off! Great to read your post!

Well ... me too, Sharky, but that is a chronic problem and only affects the individual consuming it ... THIS someone, er, FEEDING RAW pork.

Interesting ... and more than I thought. I just read a post somewhere about how much their kitty likes pork, too.

And considering where the vets are GETTING most of their nutrition info ... It is important to get the gamut of theory and practice. The one thing I will add though is Vets ARE well-trained in public health and food safety. And people do need to consider those factors in feeding raw ... and...

Those raw food groups on Yahoo are ... interesting. They take a pretty radical stance on what is acceptable, and advocate a lot of things your vet might consider unsafe practices ... not considering just your pet, but public health practices. I would not blow them off, not at all, they have a...

Walter, 13 is my IBD boy. In August, he came home from ICU on 5 mg of Pred per day, plus Cypro PRN for appetite improvement. His guts were so swollen one vet looked at the X-ray, suspected a tumor and called in a radiology consult. My (more experienced) vet said she thinks it is the carbs...

Hoping for another update ... ?
