    Update on Jade

    I am gonna be sending the BF up there to get some pictures of Jade to record the healing process. Jade's drinking on his own now and has gotten more playful so I feel he'll make a full recovery. Thanks for all the vibes!

    Update on Jade

    My friend's cat went in for surgery yesterday and the unofficial diagnostic is that the advice and suggestions I got on here about the ulcer and such is a good possibility. We're just waiting for the results of the biopsy to know for sure. As it is, the vet put him on some ointment to help with...

    Thank you for the welcome! I have scanned through the rules briefly but will go back and read them more carefully. I am on a dog forum as well so I'm pretty adapt at following rules.

    Help! I know nothing about cat nutrition

    I can get Iam's, Eukanuba (sp??), Fancy feast, purina.. There is a pet store here where I get my dog food every month so I'm leaning towards buying from them since they offer discounts on cases of food. They're a locally owned pet store but can order foods in if need be. I've got about 30$ to...

    Didn't know that. I'll remember that. Jade's at the vets right now and is on an IV. He survived the weekend and is now going through testing. BF is going up today to support our friend.

    I believe he eats Whiskas with tuna packaged especially for cats and they only get twice a week. It started about a month ago, after he got in to a fight (which started this whole mess. Lol) I have sent her an email with the idea's I've received and am going to send her some more info on the...

    The local cat rescue has agreed to foot the vet bill so Jade is getting a full blood panel. And my friend got him to drink some water! So things are looking up!

    The vets do have an emergency number but it's a slim chance that they answer the message. I'm not sure how often he's vomiting thou. He's still active and playful so he must getting some fluids from the wet food. I will pass on the urgency of hydration thou. You're right. That does look like Jade.

    No he's not FIV positive. Like I said, I gave her a syringe to get water in to his system until she can get him in on Monday. All the vets are closed on weekends. Small town and all.. Really annoying.

    The constant grooming is new. Just started after the attack. She's feeding the same food he's eaten since she got him and his brother as kittens. I'll mention the allergy thing thou to her. Anything at this moment would help.

    Thanks, she's feeding him wet food and tuna as well as kibble. I'm sending her an email tonight with some idea's. No the vet didn't give her anything other then a weeks worth of antibiotics, said to give him an antihistamine, and sent her home. I did recommend giving the cat (Jade) another...

    My friend's cat was attacked by something. We don't know what. She has taken him to a vet numerous times and they're only advice right now is either steroids or PTS. I'm advising that she get a second opinion since the vet she's seeing now isn't doing crap... I got a list of things that she's...

    Help! I know nothing about cat nutrition

    I was thinking about buying the larger cans. I only buy the small cases of FF right now since he only gets it in the morning with his joint supplements. I think I'm gonna go about this the same way I did with dog food, make a list of pro/con and prices then choose a can as a taste test and go...

    Help! I know nothing about cat nutrition

    That's funny! So as long as he's eating good, he's getting what he needs then? And! I just got the BF to agree to a 100% switch to wet food once the bin of dry is gone. Just gotta stock up on the cases of wet until we need it. Lol. Trip to the pet store on Monday I think to check out prices.

    Is calling a cat Fatty offensive?

    We call Kameo "Tubby" all the time but he's not that fat. Just big boned. Lol. He is a large cat. He doesn't care what we call him as long as he gets fed. I usually call him that when A)He's begging for food or B) It's time for breakfast and I need him to come in the house. Then I say "Tubby...

    Thanks! He stole that bone from my Lab one night and kept smacking Maze when she went to get it back. After I took a couple pictures I finally took pity on Maze and got her bone back.

    Help! I know nothing about cat nutrition

    *snort* Kameo hunt.. Ha! Most he does is lounge in the sun on the driveway. This is a cat that watches a mouse run right under his nose then smacks the dog for chasing said mouse. Lol. Now I've heard that cats need Taruine... I think that's what it's called. How would I go about making sure he...

    Well I'll be danged! LOL! I've been feeding him the proper flavors all this time. Hmm.. Guess it's just habit for me now to gravitate to the good kinds of food.

    Help! I know nothing about cat nutrition

    Thanks!! I'll look in to that site! I want to make sure that I'm feeding him as well as I feed my dogs. The BF is really attached to Kameo so I want to keep him around as long as possible.

    I think there's a feed store around here.. Hmmm.. I'll have to look in to it. I feed Fancy Feast wet food in the mornings and Kameo just about mauls me for his food. Lol
