    Another wet versus dry question

    I have a little guy who suffered from runny poops, and then I put him on a course of probiotics--Ark Natural's Gentle Digest was what I used--and after three weeks his poops were normal and have remained so for five months. Sometimes the flora in their guts gets goofed up and needs to be...

    Just a vent.... re: Wellness

    I recently discovered that my little guys' favorite cat food is more than fifty cents cheaper per 5.5 oz can at Amazon (when I buy a case) than it is at my local pet food store. I want to support my local business, but when I can pay $1.35 instead of $1.89 per can, I am inclined to do so! I...

    Poop question

    My older male kitty had terrible constipation problems. I suffered through two or so years of giving him Lactulose and Cisapride. He still had to visit his favorite vet every six to eight weeks for an enema, he would get so backed up. Then a new vet suggested I try Miralax. It worked like a...

    WARNING: Graphic Post - Euthanization with anesthetic

    I don't know, it seems to me the transition out of this life is smooth for some, and rougher for others (animal and human alike). Most of the time I feel unqualified to say what it is all about, in terms of the way the end comes. I kind of think that for some a little drama is what they need to...

    I need some advice.

    From what I understand, a half a cup of day would be plenty for the "dry" days. Good luck with everything!

I gave him one Ark Natural's "Gentle Digest" every day for three weeks, and stopped giving it to him when the problem disappeared. He has been fine since, going on...

    whats a good alternative to NUTRO MAX CAT .. thanx in advance

    Cats aren't big water drinkers. And, left to their own devices in a natural setting, they aren't likely to eat food that has been baked at super high temperatures, like the dry food we feed them. It has little to offer, moisture-wise. They get more of what they need, moisture-wise, from wet...

    fatty cat...read on please

    My (not so little) one year old was two pounds overweight last vet visit. I was kind of embarrassed, as I am obviously the one who controls the food around here! He told me that for an overweight cat, 1/8 cup of dry and one half of a 5.5 oz can per day would be a proper amount of food to...

    Last Chance

    Hey, there. I am new to the forum and just saw your post. It can be so hard to not know what is going on with our little ones. Have you tried using the "Feliway" diffuser with Reese? It can help regulate mood with kitties by pumping relaxing pheromones into the area. I agree that she should see...
