Hello, everyone! My cat Daisy got her rabies shot on May 16. I noticed a small bump (maybe the size of a small pea two weeks ago. Another cat had a similar reaction that resolved on its own, so I followed the drill from that - note the size, shape and location, and monitor. It definitely...

I have talked about my IBD cat here before. We've discovered that one of her big triggers is chicken, and that beef causes much milder but still noticeable upset. She can have turkey, but it seems to be too close to chicken for her to have large amounts. I try to avoid feeding them fish because...

One of my cats (Klio) has chronic constipation related to being on fluoxetine. Off of it, she's fine in the poo department, but has horrible mood swings and all the other psych medications we tried either made her worse, or had much worse side effects (like making her "drunk" and sedated). None...

I was petting Sparrow and scratching under her chin last night, and noticed that she has a lump alongside her throat, in the thyroid area. It's doesn't seem to be attached to her throat and moves slightly, but it's very hard. The nearest lymph node under her jaw is swollen today, but was not...

With my cat Sparrow on a LID for IBD and a new suspected chicken allergy, I have more limited funds than I used to for Klio and Daisy's food. I do feed them some higher quality stuff on occasion (TikiCat and Wellness Core, mostly) and they do share Sparrow's food sometimes, but I rotate in the...

One of my cats, Klio, was on fluoxetine for nearly a year. She started on it when I had a pest problem and had to keep moving back and forth between my apartment and my mom's place. It stressed Klio out and she didn't bounce back, started acting out and peeing inappropriately. Once all the...

I'm still working out a rotation for my cats as far as food. Right now, it looks like their main meals will be Soulistic Good Karma Chicken, TikiCat Koolina Luau and Sheba turkey and chicken pate flavors. I've also been feeding some Nature's Variety duck flavors to them. They loved the can of...

Sparrow has luckily gone so long without a flare, mine's a bit out of date even though I have tried to keep up with it for emergencies. So of course she is having some nastiness going on today, when the vet closes early! (Probably because her asthma has been flaring very badly in the California...

Does anyone have any experience with 4 Corners Pharmacy online? My 7 1/2 year old tortie Sparrow may need to go on Flovent for her asthma - it flared pretty badly recently last month. Usually a steroid shot gets it back under control, but as the shot is wearing off, her wheezing is getting awful...

I have one cat who has never really eaten much. When she was on dry food, even weight control dry, she never lost any weight despite only eating a bit here and there, so I didn't really worry about it. Now that I've switched all the cats to wet food only, she is eating about the same volume, but...

I've been posting on the nutrition forum and lurking around elsewhere, so I guess I should introduce myself. I go by Jenny online, and I am pretty much a crazy cat lady. I have three kitties, Sparrow (calico DLH), Klio (tuxedo DSH) and Daisy (black DLH). I put up some photos in my gallery, I...

I feel like I have a ton of questions about cat nutrition — I've always tried to feed my cats decent food, but I didn't ever do much research until my kitty Sparrow got diagnosed with IBD four years ago and I've had them on a prescription diet ever since. Anyway, they were gaining too much...

I recently began feeding my cats an all-wet diet. They did great on pate for about six weeks, when two of the three suddenly decided they just don't care for pate anymore. I don't want to return them to a half dry, half wet diet because it was giving them constipation problems. I know all three...
