    What online pharmacy are you using?

    Thanks to this post http://www.thecatsite.com/t/252239/tips-for-shopping-for-pet-meds-online   I am well educated about how online pet pharmacies stack up.  I am happy to know that Drs. Foster & Smith is as reputable as I hoped they were, but I have to wait at least a week for everything that I...

    Precision pill cutter

    Hello all!  I am scratching my head trying to figure out if there exists a pill cutter that can reliably and accurately cut small pills into quarters.  I have  a blue Apex pill cutter, but I wonder if there is something better on the market.  I am looking for something that is accurate and can...

    raw food feeders

    Well, I tried the plastic rap idea and it worked!  I laced the tray that I needed with plastic rap and I put super cold food that needed hours to reach room temperature in the tray. The cat was fed on time and I was happy that my late arrival did not stress him out.  It isn't the most...

    raw food feeders

    Yes!  That is the one that I bought years ago that actually worked for me.  The others were easily manipulated and opened by my cat.  I figure that I will attempt to find something to line the food holders with so that the holders themselves don't have contact with the raw food.  That's all that...

    raw food feeders

    Unfortunately, I have tried all of the feeders mentioned in the thread back when I was feeding kibble.  Not reliable at all!!  That is how I stumbled upon the PetSafe Petmate.  It was the only feeder that my cat either couldn't or was too afraid of to try to manipulate.  I guess I will try...

    raw food feeders

    Hi all, I am in raw food transition with my cat and I am just now starting to get the routine together.  I have a cat feeder that I can use for raw feeding when I cannot get home on time (PetSafe 5 meal pet feeder), but it was created primarily for kibble.  So, I was just wondering if there...

    Raw Food recipes for hyperthyroid, IBD senior kitty with higher than normal liver values & blood pre

    I am using feline milk thistle from Pet Wellbeing and liver support chews from Vetri-Science Laboratories.  For the first blood test that showed that my cat's ALT levels had decreased, we were only using the Vetri-Science liver support chews.  The vet wanted me to give my cat Denamarin but the...

    Raw Food recipes for hyperthyroid, IBD senior kitty with higher than normal liver values & blood pre

    Hello and welcome.  So glad to know that your kitty is doing better.  The liver supplements that I've been using have helped my cat's ALT levels go down, but as of the last blood test they are still not normal.  We will be checking again this coming week.  I am so grateful for this website. ...

    Raw Food recipes for hyperthyroid, IBD senior kitty with higher than normal liver values & blood pre

    Hello all! I have completely eliminated dry food from my cat's menu.  We are now canned wet food (Weruva)  only.  I wish I could say that this is because I figured out that any wet food was better than dry food, but alas, that is not the case.  My cat began to drink too much water.  The vet...

    Taste of the Wild bloody stools rumor

    Since my last response, I have moved on from TOTW.  Though my cat really loved the flavor of TOTW, I transitioned him to Evo.  TOTW helped my cat in that the diarrhea went away but I noticed that he was still vomiting fairly regularly (no scarf and barf and no furball).  When I transitioned my...

    Taste of the Wild bloody stools rumor

    LOL!  I wonder what it is about TOTW that makes some cats so enthusiastic.  My cat certainly can't get enough.  Thank you for sharing.

    Taste of the Wild bloody stools rumor

    Good to hear it.  So far my cat's diarrhea and vomiting have cleared up and he doesn't seem to be able to get enough of TOTW.  I have to ration it out.  I have heard a lot about the low carb foods as well like EVO and Nature's Variety Instict and GO / NOW foods. But, so far so good.  I will be...

    Taste of the Wild bloody stools rumor

    Hi, I am trying out different grain free foods and I just wanted to know if anyone had a bloody stool experience with Taste of the Wild brand dry cat food.  I haven't myself, but I came across a few posts on a catfood review website where it was said that some cats started having bloody stools...

    Are there any senior cats out there?

    Hi flossymom.  Sorry to hear about your kitty's CRF.  My 18 year old has liver disease, but I stumbled upon a website that I highly recommend that you check out called petwellbeing.com.  There are hundreds of reviews for its major products for you to check out and their products are supplements...

    Natural painkiller for cats with arthritis

    It's been a week and odd and the vet is pleased with the way Puba's eyes are healing.  The vet isn't sold on the idea of giving Puba krill oil, and is concerned about the dosage.  I want to start giving Puba krill oil again in a few days, but I want to know the acceptable dosage for a feline...

    Natural painkiller for cats with arthritis

    Yes, I tend to agree with you.  But the vet is specifically concerned about the bleeding behind the eye and wants nothing to impede the coagulation process.  So, really, I am just biding my time.  The vet has asked me to stop all oils for a week so I will oblige.  Once she is satisfied with the...
