I feed wet and dry, but I have had issues with Purina for my cat and dog.  Too much CORN and other preservatives i think.  My dog's coat became dull.  I switched both dogs and cats to a high quality, high protein (they need more meat) formula with no corn wheat soy or by product meal. My cats...

I appreciate your help, but  what would you advocate for.  I cut the pill in half for her and I am only giving her the pill once a day-until I talk to the vet.  So that is 2.5 each day, which is a reasonable dosage. She seems to feel better and her stools are now solid.  I changed her to a high...

Thank you for your help.  I too feel its too large a dose,  I think 2.5 would be resonsable.  I am going to call the vet and speak with him before givng the medications to Chloe. Thanks again, Mona

Yes-I give her the wet food in the am.  She is going in to the vet at 10am tomorrow-I am so relieved.  I saw one tooth on the right side lower, that is red around the gumline, and Im wondering if its infected or something.  I am taking a stool sample and will have her mouth checked out as well...

My ten year old kitty, Chloe has developed horrible soft stools for about 3 weeks, going 3-4 times per day.  She seems to have lost weight and is eating a lot of dry food. I am afraid she is sick and may be getting dehydrated, although she drinks a lot of water. Any ideas?  Her stools smell...
