Some quick backstory: Layla began losing weight rapidly last year, despite a ravenous appetite.  A trip to an internal medicine specialist revealed no masses in her abdominal cavity by ultrasound, a very low level of vitamin B12, and no problems with other digestive organs including the...

Hi, all, Thought I'd give a little update on Layla who, as you may recall, has lost weight despite a very good appetite. Bloodwork turned up a low B12 and nothing more. Ultrasound showed nothing but lots of gas in her colon. I opted to try a 2 weeks of Prednisone treatment before going...

Since the last time her weight was taken (roughly 4-6 weeks ago), Layla has lost approximately another pound. She is now below 7 lbs. I brought her in to the vet so that we could re-check her ALT levels after being on Denosyl for a while... but my vet said to skip the blood work and take...

Well, this just isn't a good year for Layla. Liver ALT was 134 in early November, and after re-test, 181. Took blood again today for a third re-test after about 3 1/2 weeks on Denosyl (which we are continuing). When they tried to take the blood, the site swelled up and started bleeding... so...

Hi all, My 12-13 y/o kitty, Layla, presented staggering and falling behavior this morning around 11:30 AM (just a few hours ago). She was 100% fine last night at 2AM. She was in the other room sleeping on the couch, and came in to the room I was in when she heard me putting out food for her...

My cat went off of her food yesterday (after weeks and weeks of on-off vomiting, presumably due to food intolerances - dealing with a Hill's Rx diet formula change and trying to find a replacement), so off to the vet she went today. I quickly discovered that she was, indeed, hungry, but refused...

I updated a few days ago that my vet told me to try NB Duck and Green Pea after Hill's changed the D/D Duck and Green Pea formula and my cat couldn't tolerate it. Things were going great, but now she threw up both yesterday and today.. I'm ready to call my vet and ask them what the heck I'm...

...and now my cat isn't holding her food down. I gradually introduced the new formula of d/d Duck and Green Pea in to her existing food, also d/d Duck and Green Pea, and things seemed to be going okay. Today, however, she threw up three times. All three of those times, it was food in the...

I unknowingly fed my cat something (a canned seafood recipe wet food) that she is allergic to. This came after my vet gave me the OK to try it out. Her nose is extremely itchy and swollen. She seems to have a bit of a sore on it. I only fed her about 1/3 of the can (it was Wellness...

Hi everyone I'm new here. I'm on a few dog forums under the name MissMutt, but I decided it was time to join a cat forum, too, especially so that I can keep up with advances and ideas in cat health in nutrition. My cat is named Layla - she's an 11 y/o shelter cat who I've had since she was 6...
