Captain is my 14ish year old DLH. He was diagnosed with diabetes a little over a year ago and has been doing great. His last fructosamine showed that his blood sugars were in the range of a non diabetic cat, he gained back all the weight he lost prediagnosis. But something strange has happened 3...

Ok, somewhat long story. I have 9 cats. Bert, my orange tabby, has always had a spraying problem. He was on prozac for several years and it worked wonders, until a few years ago when it stopped working. So he got confined to the spare bedroom. Then, Kahlua and Sushi, who were used to using the...

Try to contact a rescue or shelter. Often, they keep antibiotics like clavamox on hand, which is probably what you need right now fo rthe URI. See if they'll give you, or let you buy a bottle. It's not expensive at all. Also, try to build up a repertoire with a no kill rescue. I volunteer with...

Thank you so much!

He's getting 6 mls, 3 mls twice a day. So if I got the 500 mg pills, he'd be ok? Also, where do I find ph strips?

Ok, help me on my measurements as math is not one of my best subjects. Right now he is getting 3 ml's, twice a day. One teaspoon is equivilent to 5 ml's, and there is 400 mg of dl-methionine is one teaspoon of methigel. According to google, there is 1.217 teaspoons in 6 ml's. So what mg dosage...

What's the difference between the l-methionine and the dl-methionine. The active ingrecient in the methigel is dl-methionine.I actually cancelled it because I figured out that my measurements were wrong and he's actually getting about 500 mg of it, not 400

I just ordered dl-methionine, in 200 mg pills. If he's getting 3 cc's pf methigel, twice a day, then he's getting 1 teaspoon, and there is 400 mg of dl-methionine in a teaspoon. So 2 pills a day should be the same as the methigel, right? He takes pills very well, in pill pockets. And it was...

Sorry, I totally forgot about this post til now. Bert was not sent home with any rx food, just with the methigel, with instructions to give him 3 cc's, twice a day to dissolve the stones. Since he has been home, his pee clumps are normal, instead of the teeny tiny ones he was having just before...

Well, for the time being, he is confined, so I can technically get away with feeding him something totally different from the other cats and be ok. Should I give him the SD now and then after we have made sure the crystals dissolved, then switch him to a more "maintenance" type UTI food?

With 10 cats an all wet diet is not an option due to cost. Prior to this he was eating TOTW. I'm away from my home a minimum of 10 hours a day, so even if I could afford it, wet food wouldn't work as the sole diet. 

I just had one of my cats diagnosed with struvite crystals, but no infection. Can someone give me a quick rundown of the %'s I should be looking for in both wet and dry foods so that I can look for something that is not the RX food once his crystals are dissolved. I got all the info here several...

I have a cat who's been on Prozac for about 3 years for inappropriate urination. I tried the liquid compound with tuna flavoring added, but it doesn't matter what you mix Prozac with, it's horribly bitter and cats can taste it. He takes his pill in a Pill Pocket with no problem.

I have a cat, that after living peacefully for about 2 years with 9 other cats, became withdrawn and stressed out. He stopped grooming himself, hid all the time, got into huge screaming fights, and was just overall miserable, making everyone else miserable too. In August of 2009, I moved him...

I don't kill spiders or bugs that I find in my house, i manage to get them outside, but let me tell you, those pictures give me a major case of the heebie jeebies!! Spiders are definitely not my pet of choice. I do have 2 corn snakes though, whom I love. Give me a snake any day!

I started using it about a month ago after reading so many things online. I have 10 cats. 7 live in the whole house and share 6 jumbo litter boxes, one lives in my bedroom with his own box, and 2 in the spare bedroom with 2 boxes. I have had the same crumbles in the boxes for a month, scooping...

Well the vet said she found a flea on her and that could be contributing to the loss of hair and scratching. But I don't think it is. Fleas don't cause weight loss or diarrhea, especially since she's had fleas before. But they tested her blood sugar and it was 93, so no diabetes, they gave her a...

no one? Thanks...

Kahlua is my oldest cat, at 9. Ialso have her brother, same age, along with 8 other cats. Kahlua has not always been super happy about living with so many cats, but she coexisted. About a year ago, she started getting very antisocial. Also about that time one of her eyes started weeping, and she...

Nothing has changed. No different food, animals, furniture, anything. I'm at a loss. He;s been locked away in the spare bedroom for over 2 weeks now. But that's where he'll stay until I can trust he's not going to pee any more.
