    Always wanting more food?

    Ok, quick question. So Piper gets wet two times a day and she gets a certain amount of dry that I measure and leave out throughout the day by her water. She likes both of her foods a lot but she really really likes her wet. She is on a feeding schedule but EVERY time I go in the kitchen she...

    How heavy are your little ones?

    Piper was underweight when we got her. She was 8-10 mos old and weighed 4lbs. We have had her a little over a month and she has put on almost a pound. We were told she would probably just be a very small cat though. She eats half a 5.5-6oz can of wet a day and she has dry available to her...

    Need help now

    Was the flash on while taking the pictures? I know my cat is scared to death of the flash on the camera and I have to turn it off if I'm trying to take a picture of her. I'm glad to hear you got your daughter to the ER and they got her all fixed up, cat bites can become infected very very easily.

    Vet visit not so good, any advice please

    Yep, I got her the food you mentioned earlier, the Natural Balance chicken & green pea limited ingredient diet. Petco was so nice and they said that I could even bring back the opened bag of wellness for a store credit if this food worked out. I still want to bring her in to a vet also. I...

    Vet visit not so good, any advice please

    Ok, just got back from exchanging what wellness I had for the natural balance limited ingredient diet. When I explained some of the issues to the food person at the store she suggested a vet that the store takes all of their pets to (at Petco they have some cats and small animals) and said that...

    Someone had mentioned that to me also and Im def keeping my eye out for signs of dehydration. She drinks water often and normally gets wet food mixed with water which she eats all of. She will have somewhat normal stools about 70% of the time and then these random bouts of diarrhea around the...

    Vet visit not so good, any advice please

    I looked it up to when people were trying to help me figure out what the vet had given her. I don't really think thats what she needs either. I'm not so sure about the food he gave her either.

    Vet visit not so good, any advice please

    I don't know about it either, I looked it up and it says its for "Dietary indiscretion, food allergies, or lack of digestive enzymes can affect your cat's digestive health." I'm not a big fan of science diet really anyways. I have my wellness ready to exchange at petco for the natural balance so...

    Vet visit not so good, any advice please

    On Monday morning I will call the first vet and tell them that I would really like something for her diarrhea, Metronidazole, since I cant get her in for a few days because of work and school. I don't know if they will give it to me but I will try. They have seen her more than the vet we went to...

    Vet visit not so good, any advice please

    I have no clue why they haven't done this either GGGGAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! I'm just beyond frustrated right now. The food the vet gave her today is Hills Prescription Diet i/d Feline. I'm supposed to give her 1/2 a can each day, which also seems like not enough food compared to what she has been eating.

    Nope, she has not been on the metronidazole before since I have had her. I'm still trying to get ahold of the shelter to get some kind of medical history from them. She was on the clavamox for a few days from the other vet who said that she was gainging weight and nothing seemed to be wrong.

    Vet visit not so good, any advice please

    They closed an hour ago, I'm supposed to call back Monday if she wont eat the food they gave her or if I still cant get her to take a pill. She has had that and Clavamox from the other vet, which obviously didn't help. Apparently I'm just a bad vet magnet. I looked up tons of stuff about TF...

    Ok, I deleted some messages. To anyone, how do I find a good knowledgeable vet without having to spend $$$ tons of money trying vet after vet? What kind of questions can I ask over the phone to help me make a better choice?

    Vet visit not so good, any advice please

    These pills are blue ovals that says PRIMOR 120 on one side and are scored on the other side. He gave her 5 and I'm supposed to give her 1/2 each day. From what I have looked up it just seems like this is a general antibiotic or something *sigh*. I just went to the vet because of a referral from...

    Vet visit not so good, any advice please

    Oh yeah, and I have tried to get a hold of the lady we adopted her from or the shelter to see if any of their other cats have tested positive for anything or had any diarrhea also to see if I could find a direction to head in but I can't seem to get anyone to answer there or call me back.

    Vet visit not so good, any advice please

    I'm crying as I write this because I just have no idea what to do. Piper is having diarrhea more and more often and no one can figure out what is going on. We went to a new vet again today and he looked at stool slides for a good 15-20 minutes but said he saw nothing out of the ordinary. Even...
