I just got off the phone with the vet, told her his appetite was not improving.  I asked about other appetite stimulants and possible pain medication. Mirtazapine is not an option she wants to use as he is on the Methimazole... Cat nip not working, never seemed to effect his eating.Periactin...

What kind of syringe is that my vet gave me a 2 1/2 syringe it is so big I think that is one of the reasons it is so hard for me to work it even with only 1 1/2 oz of food in it.  I wish Buddy would be as tollerant as Lucky is.  I bought some of the freeze dried chicken, Pure Bites brand, he...

Another great sub q tonight but he hasn't started eating anywhere enough yet.  I decided to break out the syringe again and give him an ounce or so just to get something in him but I don't seem to be able to wrap him in the towel well enough and he works his way out every time I begin to get...

He doesn't seem to be eating very much yet.  The vet didn't call tonight like I was told she would.  I am frustrated. On the up side the sub q I gave him last night went very well.  I realized  am the one it effects not him.  It was a relief, I hate needles and almost cried last night.  I didn't...

Hello,  Your guy is quite regal looking, beautiful.  My mom's cat used to have a vomiting problem from the time he was about a year old until he was four.  We thought it was hairballs but the vomit didn't have hair in it half the time.  Long story short, he had an allergy to grain products and...

Hi, yes it is possible. In fact, my vet just said this to me two weeks ago.  Try adding different brands of grain free foods and meat sources as well if your kitty will eat something other than chicken and turkey.  Add new ones slowly so you don't upset his tummy.   I agree that the formula may...

Hello everyone, I am tying to find a canned cat food that is nutritionally balanced alone that has only the meat, organ and bone components and supplements added.  Any suggestions for raw diets are also welcomed. NO extras.  No grains, no fruits, no vegetables.  Buddy is being treated for...

Just got home from the vets office.   When I got home from work Buddy had only eaten a small amount of food today.  Reasured me that I made the right decision to take him today. Vet said he didn't look very dehydrated and that if he was at least maintaining weight she wouldn't be worried. ...

Yeah that was my thinking too. He has an appointment at 3:30 this afternoon.  I don't know how I am going to pay for any of this.  My care credit is maxed and I have already not paid my credit card bills to pay for the last two visits.  Please prey this doesn't cost too much.  I don't know what...

Good morning, Well Buddy is not interested in the Wysong at all.  He goes up to the bowl then turns away.  And he has avoided the raw nest to it all together.  It is frustration because I had to drive 40 minutes to get it. No one in my area carries the wet.  I had to get it at a high price...

OK, I bought a can of the Wysong chicken Carolina recomended. I also bought a small tub of the Rad Cat chicken raw.  One question about the wysong, it isn't a complete diet, am I correct about that? It is supplemental.  What do I need to add to/with it to make it complete.  I also saw a Weruva...

Hi all, At this point Violet, who has been private messaging me, believes that the foods I have been giving him contain ingredients that are causing problems with the pancreas.  Whether or not they caused the problem or not, the issue is that they are absolutely, in her opinion, causing...

Thank you, Cool Cat, for the vibes, we take all we can get. Sugar Cat Mom and Laurie, buddy was prescribed a nausea medicine in January while at my mom's.  I gave him one dose around 7pm and for the rest of the night and through the early morning he was miserable.  He wanted to lay down and...

We were prescribed Periactin for two days last week it didn't seem to do much.  But we only got two pills so maybe we weren't on it long enough.  Are there any other kinds?

I did speak to the vet last night.  She explained a few things I had questions about.  First, last week when I took Buddy in she thought he may have a blockage causing the small appetite and the diarrhea.  I asked if he was having firm stools would he have a blockage, she said it may be a small...

He is "licking" his lips, any ideas??

Hi, sorry about your kitty.  My buddy has some of the same issues, soft stools, gassy BMs and he has dry heeving, nothing comes up.  He has lost weight and I have taken him to the vets.  He has had a complete blood work up and now the vet is thinking hyperthyroid, his pancreas levels are also a...

Your baby is cute!  mrblanche is right but it never hurts to take them to the vet (or call for a consult) and see what they think if you are wondering or worried.  Janice and Buddy

Your kitty does sound like something is going on.  I don't know about cats with his problem but I know what I felt like when I was taking Prozac.  "The mortgage is due?  Oh, ok. I'll pay it.  The mortgage is past do? Oh, ok.  I'll pay."  A general melase in my mental abilities.  Yuck!! What I...
