Does anyone have experience with this type of cancer? Our 9-month-old male, Paulie, presented with a mass on his gum and some infected teeth. The vet removed the bad teeth but kept the bone plate closed to slow down the progression of the cancer. He tells me it's very aggressive and will...
Not continuously. When we had the bigger house, he had more room for himself. He would even sleep with me sometimes. He sometimes would sit with me in the morning while I drank my coffee. But he always had a bigger area to retreat to. Now I think he just has nowhere else to go, being that this...
Apologies for the length here, but I'm looking for some advice. Been working with our vet, but they seem to be out of suggestions. My husband and I have 7 cats (2 females, one male, all indoors).
One of the males, who is around 9, has always been anxious. I found him abandoned in our shed at...
Wasn't sure where to lost this, apologies if in wrong forum. Wondering if anyone has advice for feeding wet food to a lot of cats? We have 7 cats and besides the amount of time it takes to open cans, fill plates, and clean up, they are totally insane! 😂 They climb up me, fight with each other...
Thanks for your reply and the links. Very helpful. We've used L-Lysine in the past and I never felt like it worked. Eventually she does get better but I hate to see her suffer during the bout. There isn't a lot of stress, she does get a long with the other cats. I might try a humidifier and...
One of our cats has been diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection. She does get like this once or twice a year....runny nose, sneezing, cough, and raspy breathing. She eats and drinks And seems fine otherwise. She's 10. We have six other cats, none have any of these symptoms.
She had an...
Most of my cats get canned food on a schedule, especially my overweight male, Buddy. But I have two others who need to have access to food all day. My one female, Smudge, left without food all day or overnight, will eat so fast, she immediately pukes it up. The other male, Timmy, has anxiety...
Its been about a month of slow transition. I've tried the side-by-side boxes, and then mixing the two litters. It seems like when it's just the pellets by themselves, a few of the cats are just turned off by it. But maybe I'll go back to square one and start with mostly clay litter and then...
Yeah that's likely what I will end up doing. At the end of the day, 2 or 3 regular boxes is a million times better than scooping 8 clumping litter boxes! They will use the boxes that are mixed, but as soon as the box gets heavy on the pellet side, I'll find poop next to the box. And it is...
I have 7 cats and most of mine have transitioned over to this system. But a few don't like to poop in the pine pellets, so they are going next to it. I have a few boxes still mixed with the old clumping litter and they will poop in there until it's full and then they refuse to use the breeze...
Hello all! After a few years we finally sold our house, and now the complicated task of moving our 7 cats into our new home must be dealth with!
Both closings are on the same day. Buyers who bought our home are doing an FHA loan, so it will be in the morning. Closing for the house we bought...
She's definitely not hesitant to eat. She loves to eat! But she does vomit sometimes. And she will lick her lips before she does. She can sometimes go a week without vomiting and then have a spell where she throws up 3 days in a row, sometimes regurgitated food, other times just runny. I did...
Hi everyone, my vet had been backed up but finally got the results of the thyroid tests for Typo. Her results were 1.7 and said they were in the normal range. I'm a little on the annoyed side that it took this long and they aren't even offering any other feedback or next steps. I had been...
I also have an overweight male, Buddy. Do you think he can eat the same food as Typo (high protein/low carb), or do I need to feed him a different wet food to lose some weight? I'm trying to get him to chase the laser pointer or bird toy but he can't be bothered. And I'm sure it's because he's...
Thank you so much for the link, I had forgotten about Dr. Pierson's site. After so many kitties, and so many years, I've gotten into a groove and looks like I need to start up some research again. Typo is my girl and she likes pate foods the best. She's the queen of the house, and my absolute...
I have an 11 year old female who has been losing weight. She's 13 lbs down from 16 since 2014. Took her to the vet for a complete workup. Blood work all came back normal, CBC, SDMA, urinalysis normal. Waiting on results of thyroid. In the meantime vet says I can perhaps feed something to put...
Thanks everyone. I appreciate the suggestions. Depending on the assisted living facility, she might be able to keep him. I don't think she could change his litter box but I'm sure her son could when he visits. But that's likely a few months away.
So it's looking like we are going to take...
