I had the same problem with my female kitty.  Longer hair, lots of licking/cleaning and fur balls galore.  My vet gave me a mild laxative and give her a "lick" out of the tube every morning after her breakfast. This has been doing the trick for the past 5 years.  She passes everything and only...

It began in the US and quickly spread to 23 states before crossing the border.  The announcement that it had spread to Canada was from the Canadian Swine Health Board in Ottawa.   I also read an article in the Calgary Herald  which led me to believe it had spread to Alberta but I may not be...

I didn't care that Proctor & Gamble bought them out - what bothered me was that they immediately moved the processing from California to Mexico - the slurry capital of the pet food industry.   I read the same article about the virus and then three weeks later the CSHB in Ottawa confirmed that...

Blood testing won't identify eosinophylic plaque.  It takes a biopsy.  The scientist/professor at Western U is a friend of the vet (they went to school together) so I got the full blown version and all the comments from the lab including a recommended course of treatment.  My vet has retired...

Cats eat all sorts of queer things.  My male tabby eats the corners off of cardboard boxes and the bits of cardboard show up in the litter box.  I stopped worrying about this stuff a long time ago.  Remember they lick themselves in order to keep clean.  Its no surprise to see hair (furballs) or...

Speaking of pork as an indredient - just wanted to mention that President's Choice Nutrition First  is making an excellent wet cat food .It contains no corn, no wheat, no soy, no by-products, no artificial preservatives no artificial flavours or colours.   There are only two flavours so far but...

In times gone by farmers used to "fatten" their porkers much more than they do now.  The new trend is to raise lean pigs, better fed, better nutrition, more meat less fat.  Their living conditions used to leave a lot to be desired also and therefore the meat often contained germs and bacteria...
