Good morning, all. My 13-year old female indoor only cat has had soft-service ice cream diarrhea for almost 4 weeks now. I ran a fecal sample to the vet yesterday which came back negative. They said the only thing they can do now is take a look at her, but I wanted to check on additional home...

I have 13 formerly stray/dumped cats who are all now tamed and vaccinated. They range in age from 2 years to 13 years. They are mainly outside cats, but they all sleep in my garage at night. I am concerned that some of them have become a little overweight in their senior years, and I need advice...

Hi all, I have a 3-yr old neutered male indoor only cat, Buddy. Never had any health problems with him. When I got back from a 6-night vacation in early June, I quickly noticed that Buddy was running in and out of the litter box nonstop. Like 8-9 times in the first 30 minutes I was home. It...

Hello all. My 2-year old indoor only has been gnawing at the back of his legs, and when I rub my fingers back there, I can feel a thin line of bumps. Upon googling, it appears that one cause can be flea allergy dermatitis. 2 weeks ago I spotted a flea or 2 and treated with Advantage 2, and it...

Hi again, I'm trying to learn about how to determine the cause of diarrhea, and I've tried to go through threads about diarrhea in both the health and nutrition forums. Please forgive me if I've missed something and am asking redundant questions. We've had my 5-month old kitten about 4 weeks...

My 4-month old has been with me almost 2 weeks. We're wrapping up (hopefully) a 5-day run of diarrhea. Took him to the vet to rule out parasites (negative) and vet suggested Hills Pres I/D for a few days along with Fortiflora. I added a little canned pumpkin and after 36 hours, am already seeing...

Hi all, I have a 4-month old kitten that I got from a rescue 8 days ago. I'm free feeding him Kitten Chow dry (trying to transition to Wellness Kitten, which he isn't having) and one 3 oz can daily of Fancy Feast tender turkey Kitten, giving 1/3 can 3x. He's had some loose stools/diarrhea this...

2 separate questions: 1. I am working on better nutrition. Started my adults on dry Merrick Real Chicken recipe and they seem to like it. But so does my 4-month old kitten. He has his own Core Wellness kitten (purple bag) which he likes but he sees the adults eating the other and wants some of...

Hi All, I've spent a lot of time lately reading about health & nutrition everywhere I can online. I am ashamed to admit that I didn't know cats should not be "free fed" dry food, and have been doing so - in combination with 2x daily canned wet food -- for years. I currently have 4 indoor-only...

I help my little guy eliminate at each feeding (4-5 times daily). He squeals and squeals and squirms. I'm using a soft piece of warm wetted tissue and gently rubbing his lower abdomen while holding him up so he pees/poops downward. I'm also doing this after he eats, so it feels like he has a...

I got my first orphan kitty last Friday, eyes not yet open. Weighed 5.0 oz and is now up to 6.1 oz. He had a little somewhat formed poop on Saturday, then a bit of diarrhea on Sunday and nothing since. He seems to pee fine. Do they get constipated? There have a been a few drops of brown on the...
