The hair that pulled out was maybe 2-3" long. I'm really upset that I did that

Hi! Just now, my kitty was running around, freaked out about a poo that was hanging by one of my hairs... Unfortunately I was trying so hard to keep him from hiding that I pulled the poo off and didn't think: I know I should have cut it after the fact and now I'm really worried: what should I...

Anybody have experience with the Primal freeze dried pork? My cats love it, but I have to admit I have misgivings about raw pork. My one kitty has food allergies for chicken and other poultry... It's hard finding non-chicken and non-fish cat food

Thank you! Unfortunately my apartment isn't a place where I can separate them easily... They've been together for two and a half years, but the one is much more energetic, and tends to bully when playing, and during feeding, I try to separate them for feeding. Hoping to buy my own place soon, so...

Hi! has anybody who has a kitty on fluoxetine, who then started having mild coordination problems? My boy is pretty nervous, and ended up with diarrhea from my other cat being a bully... Lots of vet trips and behavior modification later, the vet and I decided to try a low dose of fluoxetine...

To Mom of Maxwell: The pain reliever was because he was in major pain when trying to poo... I only gave it to him for like a day. I know it's intense stuff -- my dear departed old tortie girl had pancreatitis toward end of life and that's what I had to give her. Ultrasound is to make sure he...

Thanks everybody for the awesome suggestions. I'm less worried now And I think he just made a small but almost-normal-looking poop. Fingers crossed it's a sign he's turned a corner

Thanks! I'll just cut out the dry food and feed only raw/wet for about a week with probiotics and pumpkin. The rabbit didn't cause problems - more like it didn't solve anything (and my cats weren't fans at all.)

I'll just ask my cat sitters to feed wet only I guess? Or would another brand be good for later? Maybe evo? Having dry to put out when I have to work a lot of hours and can't be home to feed wet twice daily is hugely helpful to me, but I don't want to hurt my cats' health for my own convenience...

Thanks for the suggestion! I've been feeding the primal as my freeze dried turkey raw... The dry I put out mainly as something to graze on when I'm at work. Maybe I should just stop the dry all together? Glad to know the probiotics need a little more time. I wasn't able to find out how long it...

I feel I should add: he generally acts just fine. Like last night he was relaxed and tummy up on the living room rug. Is he just adjusting to the probiotic? It's a acidophilus and bifidus mix... Natural Factors. He's been on that for like 2-3 days... Tried Proviable for the first few days but...

Hi! I have an approximately 3-year-old boy (standard rescue, not a specific breed)... he's had problems with soft stools off and on for most of his life. He's sort of a nervous boy. After many fecal tests (negative for parasites) and blood tests (also normal, thank god) the specialist said it's...

hmm. i'm just not sure if an e-collar is an option... she's pretty easily upset by things. (ie. when she had her anal glands expressed, the stress gave her a horrendous case of diarrhea that required vet intervention). yeah, she's a freak. but she's my freak. hmmm. this situation is pretty...

it's definitely become habitual. kind of obsessive-compulsive. like it's some kind of self-comfort mechanism. i've had the e-collar suggested... but i think that might send her over the edge. i try to stop her whenever i catch her licking, but that's only when i'm actually there to catch her...

I have a tortie who's almost 12 years old. About 2 years ago, the vet had to express her anal glands, which traumatized her terribly (she's always been pretty high-strung and antisocial, but it's getting worse as she ages). Ever since, she's had an escalating problem with licking her backside...
