I may finally have an answer to my 8-month-old's chronic diarrhea.  Lulu has never had normal poop in the 5 months she's been with us. Several vet visits with fecal smears, an ELIZA(?) test, blood tests all showed nothing. We changed her food, thinking she might be allergic to chicken, finally...

Minka during her nightly ballet practice:

Hmm, I went to Centinela Feed and Pet supplies today. I usually buy my pet's food there because I don't like Petco and Petsmart for the way they house and sell small animals. Anyway, I always found the staff at Centinela very knowledgeable, but today they surprised me. The sales lady/girl...

I'm so happy I could burst. Minka just had a fantastic syringe feeding As some of you may know she suddenly and completely refused eating 4 days ago. We went to the vet on Tuesday and after checking her over and finding nothing abnormal he gave her an appetite stimulant. It kinda worked a...

This came totally out of the blue: Minka's not eating. I've had Minka for a little over a year now and she has never turned up her nose at here food. She's the perfect eater. 3 nights ago she suddenly didn't finish her dinner. The following morning she barely touched her breakfast, and had...

Since joining TCS I think I have learned a lot about cat nutrition. One thing I never knew about before was how to compare dry and canned foods...by looking at the values on a dry matter basis. One thing has me confused though. I contacted a few of manufacturers and asked them for the...

I've read in several threads that it is easier to introduce new wet food brands. I learned my lesson with dry food and want to avoid making the mistake of going too fast. How many feedings would you say should it take to transition to a new wet food in order to increase the varieties my...

It crack's me up, but my kitty seems to think she's a Golden Retriever She's been walking around with my dog's stuffed toy. Lucky for her he doesn't care for it, so it's all her's now. offering it to Cody, the dog I love the wide open mouth

2 days ago I took my 4 month-old to the vet for her diarrhea and she's been on baby food ever since. I was also supposed to give her 4 doses of pro-pectalin and daily bene-bac. I'm happy to see that her poops are pretty much back to normal and all fecal tests came back negative. So the vet...

My 4 month old, 4 lbs kitten is supposed to eat baby food until her diarrhea clears up. I forgot to ask the vet how much a day Lulu will need. Each 3 oz jar has 100 calories. Does 2 jars sound about right?

First I don't get carded anymore when I buy my wine and now this: today I had to buy baby food at the supermarket for Lulu's upset tummy and the cashier looks up at me and says full of sympathy "sick kitty?" Sooo depressing

I'm relaxing this morning with the tv on in the background and they just had a commercial on for Dr. George's PlaqueBlast. Has anyone ever tried this with either their cat or dog? Does it work at all?

...hear me ROAR

Last Friday afternoon I took my little Lulu in for her 4-month FVRCP booster shot. Oh and the vet also gave her the rabies vaccination without asking me, he just casually mentioned it after the fact. I told him I was going to go back to the shelter for the free shot there, so at least he waived...

I have received some confusing information from the shelter and our vet regarding how many shots my little one needs: Lulu came to the shelter at approximately 5 weeks old as a stray and was given the FVRCP shot. When I adopted her at approximately 11-12 weeks I took her to our vet where she...

My friend, who is pretty much responsible for us now having 2 cats ourselves because she used to let us petsit her bunch, had the claws of her cats removed. Not in the traditional sense, mind you, all the digits are still intact. She explained to me that the vet, who runs a cats-only clinic...

I thought my water disappeared faster than what could be explained with simple evaporation. Finally I caught the culprit

Hi everyone! As a recent convert (yes, I admit it, I didn't know cats were so incredibly adorable) I am so glad I found this forum. I added my first cat, a brown tabby domestic shorthair, to the family about a year ago. 2 weeks ago my family was joined by the most precious gray and white...
