    Cat Pooping On Rug -- need help!

    Hanging the bath mat is a wonderful idea. I wish I had thought of that sooner. Thanks so much for that suggestion! I'm definitely going to try that along with the other ideas.

    Cat Pooping On Rug -- need help!

    We've had our kitty for about a year now. This just started recently in the past couple months. Our kitty has been pooping on the rug in the bathroom that's right next to his litter box. He urinates in his litter box just fine, but sometimes he poops in his box and sometimes he poops on the...

    Finally found a canned food we can both agree on

    Yep, tried venison, duck, turkey, all kinds of fish (I'm not really crazy about fish though, neither is he), chicken (chicken is off limits now, he has a sensitivity to it). Remaining to be tried is lamb and beef..... Thanks for the info Sharky, I'll look into those brands and see if I can find...

    Finally found a canned food we can both agree on

    So I've been struggling to get my boy to eat canned food. He gets dry food as well, and he's a dry food junkie. I've tried a bunch of different brands and flavors from a holistic pet store and at best he would take a couple nibbles of wet food before turning his nose up at it. That was the...

    New Kitten has constant diarrhea. Need some help.

    Just wanted to give an update on how my kitty is doing. Before we made the switch over to NB Green Pea and Duck formula, we first tried to see if one of the canned foods we were giving him was the cause so we could pinpoint what food was behind his diarrhea and avoid that food in the future. We...

    Wellness Naturally Well Pet Club Newsletter

    I signed up for this newsletter for the wellness coupons for my kitty's food. Signed up sometime in late December of 2009. I only received one newsletter from them in early January or so. Just wondering if anyone else who subscribes to this newsletter has received one lately or if I got bumped...

    New Kitten has constant diarrhea. Need some help.

    The 2nd fecal test came back negative for everything, this was the more extensive test too... No TF, not giardia, nothing. Now we are working with the vet to find out if its a possible food allergy. We are going to finish out his Metronidazole. Right now he is diarrhea free but if the diarrhea...

    administering medicine

    My kitty too is back on Metronidazole . My previous cats I used to just squirt it in their mouths, but not with this guy. He fights me way too much and then just drools out all the medication. So I have to get a little clever. He is prescribed 1 mL twice a day of this stuff. 1 mL is not too...

    New Kitten has constant diarrhea. Need some help.

    Within a day and a half of starting him back on the Metronidazole again from the vet, his poops are getting a lot better. Shaped the way they are supposed to be, the color they are supposed to be. And thank god they don't stink like they did when he had diarrhea. Talk about a room clearer. Still...

    New Kitten has constant diarrhea. Need some help.

    I just got off the phone with the vet. They are going to do a more extensive (and expensive, 4x's more expensive than the normal fecal test, ouch!) fecal test that is also testing for TF (test is something called a PCR). She also perscribed some more Metronidazole since that was working for him...

    New Kitten has constant diarrhea. Need some help.

    Sent my mom to a couple of local pet stores. The only probiotic for a cat she could find was Nutri-Vet Probiotics for Cats at Petsmart. Would that one work? Petco had Bene-Bac but it was the bird/reptile or small animal version and cats were not listed. We really only have Petco and Petsmart...

    New Kitten has constant diarrhea. Need some help.

    New Kitten has constant diarrhea. Need some help. We've had our new baby for about 3 months now. He is 6 months old. He's had soft stool and diarrhea for quite some time now. No idea what he was eating before, no information was provided to us. Originally I gave him Purina Kitten Chow and half...

    Any drawbacks to Turkey in cat food?

    I try to avoid cat foods that contain fish due to a number of drawbacks. However, are there any drawbacks to turkey in cat food? My little one LOVES both turkey and chicken flavored canned wet food, so he gets both. Just wondering if there are any drawbacks to turkey like there are draw backs to...

    Is this a problem because of his diet?

    Hi all! Thank you for the wonderful advice. We have a vet appointment this afternoon just for a general overall health checkup since we just got him a week and a half ago. Also... I stopped giving him the canned wellness and his stools hardened up and look normal like its supposed to be. I...

    Is this a problem because of his diet?

    I have a 4 month old kitten that we've had for about 1 week. He has a slight problem when using the litterbox.... He steps in his poo, gets it on his back paws, tries to shake it off and gets it on the wall, then tracks it around the house. This makes for a stinky smelly mess all over the house...

    Use up the old food before switching?

    I currently have a 4 month old kitten. I started him out on Purine Kitten Chow not knowing any better because that's what the previous owner fed him. After doing a bit of research on cat food i've decided to switch him over to a premium high quality brand (toss up between Innova and Wellness at...
