I have been researching trying to find a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement for them to make sure they get all the necessary nutrients, but I can't find a guide telling how many mgs of the various nutrients they need.  They only tell this as a percentage of the amount of food in...

Hello all. I am relatively new to the group, joined in late June.  Several years ago I took in two rescues, two young cats under a year who are brothers.  They had same mother and father but one was from the litter just before the other.  I was taking care of the younger one , bringing him...

Hi all. I called the vet this am and was told it was okay to let Bo out of  his quarantine room.  They felt as most of you did, that droplets would have been dried in the time frame, so on. Thanks to all who posted. Shepherdess

Willowy, Thanks for this tip.  I agree there are some things better not aired to vet.  I must admit, if they'd impound Bo for a while........ Er, what is entailed in impounding; how long, where, who pays?  Just wondering..... Thanks. Shepherdess

Well, thanks to all of you.  Cocheezi, I love that Canada has so much wilderness and animal life.  A beautiful country.  I tried to get in when I was younger, but they shunned me.  The animal in question I could tell from the sounds was large, and angry sounding.  Maybe he wasn't, but sounded...

Hi all. I am researching information in regard to rabies and my post in this thread.  I am the op, Shepherdess.  Here is some info I got from the Canadian Occupational Safety  website :www.ccohs.ca. : "Healthy dogs or cats involved in biting incidents are held in confinement for at least...

Willowy, Why not mention a possible wildlife contact to the vet?   Also, for how long would he need to be kept separate ? I am new to this so not contradicting or disrespecting; just trying to learn what to do. Thanks, Shepherdess

Thank you Cat woman and Willowy for this comforting input.  I didn't know that about the length of time the rabies shot is effective.  The vets I have dealt with in past always make it sound like it needs to be frequent, along with a lot of other shots. If it is through a bite, then that is...

Hello. One of my inside cats, Bo, has a bad habit of getting on my blind side and sneaking out when I open the door.  While we are in town limits, it is rural, and there are wooded areas, etc close by.  At night we are visited by raccoons and skunks and stray kitties [some of which I have...

Thanks, goholistic. I hope the Mercola product doesn't harm animals to get the enzymes.  I am vegetarian most of my adulthood, which eventually evolved into being a vegan.  Try not to use products that harm animals.  Will probably get the Mercola for now.  Appreciate all your info. shepherdess

GoHolistic, I was thinking of getting Mercola's enzymes.  Wondering how they compare to the ones you use? Shepherdess

Bonepyker, I already use hairball gel, one from the vet and one I just got that I like better because it doesn't have benzoate or sodium potassium [I think it is] in it.  It is Hartz "hairball remedy plus". Shepherdess

Raintyger, I already give probiotics, but thanks for the tip and input. Shepherdess

GoHolistic, I agree with you about not using a lactose base.  I try to go holistic when possible.  Can you all tell me some good sites to purchase from, and a ballpark for prices? Thanks, Shepherdess

Mrs.Greenjeans, thank you for this information.  Is there a particular reason why you use Prozyme?

Greetings everyone. I just joined.  I have two cats.  One of them has a history of throwing up not long after eating, and also other times, lots of hairballs.  He is part persian, and has that thick silky persian hair, but is short haired.  He's a senior cat, but single digit.  Frisky and...
