Thanks, she has fish oil mixed with one (wet) feeding per day and she was tried on Cosequin but she stopped eating any food with it mixed into it--probably due to it causing gastritis (I had the same problem when I tried this same type of supplement for my arthritis and had to discontinue taking...

I just checked on amazon.com (4/18/2017 and it states it is out-of-stock and amazon doesn't know when it will be back in stock---I ordered it from amazon on 4/9/17). I went on-line and found a source for Oxyfresh Pet Oral Hygiene Solution offered by "flossucom" on eBay for $16.49 plus shipping...

Yes, I was giving her a full capsule twice a day mixed with a premium wet food; I started out mixing it with approx. 2 T. to make sure she got all of the Cosequin and then gave her the rest of the feeding. When she stopped being willing to eat the small amount of food with the Cosequin mixed...

Help! My senior cat has arthritis of knees, ankles and spine and the Vet wanted her on Cosequin for her joints. I was sprinkling the Cosequin onto her premium cat food and mixing it in twice a day--(1) in a.m. and (1) in p.m. After two weeks my cat stopped eating the food with the Cosequin...

Please see my reply above about Oxyfresh Pet Oral Hygiene Solution for dogs and cats. You add (1) teaspoon of Oxyfresh to a quart (liter) of water and use in all pet water bowls. This works and works quickly---my 13 year old cat no longer has dragon breath after I had tried everything to solve...

My 13 year old special needs cat (formerly feral, deaf; chronic Herpes infection of eyes) began crying with pain during the night.  I would go to see what the problem was and she would be by herself close to her litter box or a few feet away in a walk-in shower.  At first it occurred only once a...

Great response!   My vet had told me to give my cat 1/4 tsp. of Miralax to correct the problem with periodic constipation.   She never needs more than two or three days of the Miralax to take care of her constipation and I also now give her one feeding that is wet to increase her daily fluid...

Why are you giving your cat Miralax twice a day on a regular basis anyway?  I have a cat with constipation issues and I give her 1/4 tsp. in wet food for one to three days (until the stool has returned to normal--not runny or too loose).   What diet do you have your cat on?  Have you tried your...

@betsygee   Thanks!

betsygee, what brand of cat wipes do you use?

Thanks for the info!

MsAimee, thanks for the info on cat cleaner cloths--I'll check at PetSmart or on-line to see about purchase.   The cat is very friendly, I am allergic to poison ivy and I don't want to bring the allergenic oil into my house since the oils can remain active for two years.  Do cat groomers bathe...

My neighborhood is covered in poison ivy due to birds dropping the seeds after eating the berries.   There is a stray cat that has been living on my block for months now and I would like to adopt the cat and make him an indoor-only cat.  What have others done about potential poison ivy on cats...

To MsAimee:  Thanks for your reply to my concern re: adding a fourth cat to a household with a formerly feral who is not assimilated even after 3.5 years.  You have quite a household there---it is reassuring that peace is possible among a such a mixture.
