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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Wasn't sure where to post this so I apologize if wrong. My mother-in-law has a 5 year old male cat. The cat is healthy but she has become ill and has moved in with one of her sons. She will likely be moving to a long term assisted living facility soon. The son (who lives in her town) has a...

My vet is suggesting that I feed one of my cats a high fiber/high moisture wet food for weight management. He's about 3 lbs overweight. Feeding wet food alone pretty much checks the moisture box, correct? He has been constipated and had a UTI. So wet food is good for both issues right? I...

I've taken my 4 year old male, neutered cat Timmy to the vet for inappropriate peeing. Vet cleared him of any infection or blockages, and is convinced it's behavioral. So he's been on Prozac for a few months. We have 6 other cats and he does not get along well with any of them. And one in...

Hi, I posted on the behavior forum about my new kitten who was shy and skittish for the first few days. He hid under the bed and didn't eat very much. Well, now that he is out and about (still very shy, though), he still isn't eating as much as I think he should be. He was eating Kitten Chow at...

We brought home an 11-week old male kitty today, and after we let him out of the carrier, he ran and hid under the couches. We have the door to the room shut, and he has a litter box and food and water, but he has not come out to eat, drink or use the box. It's been about 18 hours and he's only...

Does anyone know what the stages of FIP are, once it's determined that the cat likely is infected? My little Pix... sweet little thing.... my heart just aches for her. I've posted about her battles with chronic constipation and colitis issues. She's 7 months old. She went in for an enema on...

My 7-month old Pix is still having bowel issues. She's been on Z/D for over a month. After the gradual switch, she seemed fine. But now, she's not going, and when she does go, it's mucous and blood. I took her to the vet Thursday and the vet gave her sub-q fluids and perscribed more lactulose...

Our vet is recommending science diet z/d for Pix, since she still has occasional constipation and blood in her stool. The vet thinks she either has colitis or IBD. (But no real way except for biopsy to determine this, right?) The ingredients scare me, but I've read some okay things about it on...

Can anybody suggest a good quality dry food with the least amount of calories from carbs percentage? I'd like to try something that gets less than 10% of the calories from carbohydrates. I checked this page: http://www.geocities.com/jmpeerson/dryfood.html And the only two under 10% are Evo and...

I've been reading some threads about different cat foods, and I noticed that EVO seems quite popular, although, I read somewhere that only 50% of cats do well on it, or that it might be "too rich." What exactly causes it to be too rich? And can that cause constipation or diarrhea? I'm trying...

I'm new to the site, but wanted to introduce my babies: Ty is on the left and Pix is on the right. They are sisters and are so much fun! They love to wrestle and play. I rescued them from the shelter in October. Actually, I rescued Ty and her sister "Dixie", but Dixie passed away after only...

Hi all! I rescued two kittens in October who apparently have two different digestive issues. THey are both 6-months old, now. They are spayed, have all their shots, and have been through de-worming rounds. My one kitty, "Ty" started out with gas, a bloated belly and some diarrhea. X-Ray and...
