They are blessed to have you caring for them, please clone yourself 1000's more times !
For the UTI situation, esp with males, it's caused by dry food. We use a specific brand of
food here to rehab our cats, but I am not permitted to post that information here. If you
can feed wet, the...
We have 5 fiv+ cats who co-exist perfectly with non fiv's here. Not unlike human HIV, fiv is transmitted from cat to cat, thru deep puncture wounds and exchange of blood or semen.
With neutered domesticated cats, the risk is extremely low in the absence of cat fights. Our one fiv boy, is the...
Sherry, just be careful, wear gloves when administering the Ronidazole in pill form, it is a highly toxic medication and should not be touched with your skin.
Next time, have your vet fill the prescription with Diamond Back, they will ship it directly to you, and it's alot safer to dose with a...
The Ronidazole is the only remedy for Tri trich,
Diamond Back Pharmacy compounded it in liquid form, chicken flavor, and although it took quite a few weeks to knock it out,
have no fear, it works and works well. Our cats were affected by this from the livestock contamination of Purina wet food...
If the cat will eat the rx food great. But it is generally overpriced and not the only choice.
But the other options may not generate income into your vet's practice, depending on
whether or not your vet is involved or trained in the area of Integrated Vet care, which is where
the future lies...
You might want to supplement with TInkle Tonic, ours do not like the Rx perscription food at all, so we don't bother with them at all, esp given the ingredients. We just stick with grain free wet. :-)
Just take a look at the ingredients, did the allergies start with the new food ? The protein is good, but make sure
there is no corn, wheat, soy, or gluten.
Is this a food that the vet is selling you ? Hope it isn't Science Diet or Royal Canin.
Look at what's in those treats, omg. If you want to give any treats at all, please only give the good ones, the Liv A Little Chicken Breasts by Halo.
We do not subscribe to feeding any cats or dogs, soy, gluten, corn, or wheat, or any combinations of those ingredients and only feed wet food...
If he were my cat I would immediately put him on a wet food diet only, classic pates without corn, wheat, soy, or gluten with added filtered water and start him on Tinkle Tonic daily and Feline Renal Support from Standard Process. But NO dry food with grains.
The poor cat is obviously allergic to something in the food. Look at the ingredients, could be the corn, wheat, soy or gluten or anyone of the other unidentifiable ingredients listed on the label that
would probably cause your own stomach to be upset if that was all you were forced to eat.
Dry food with corn, wheat, soy, and gluten is about as good for cats as McDonalds and the same ingredients are for people.
The reason their teeth get tartar is due to the build up of those exact ingredients. But it's better if your vet can charge you $500 to
do a dental than to tell you this...
I have come to understand why the common vets do not understand that dry food is the CAUSE of the intestinal issues everyone on these threads is describing, loose bowels and diarrhea in cats.
It is really astounding that people are naive enough to not realize, as the vets chin ching and...
If you were feeding the cat dry food his entire life, that very well was the cause of his enlarged heart issues. Humans ingesting McDonalds type foods, including corn, wheat, soy, and gluten
will also face the grim reaper when cancer, heart disease, or diabetes sets in. This is the same for...
Hopefully it does not have corn, wheat, soy or gluten in it.
But even the worst quality wet food, is better than the best quality dry.
The face of Feline Nutrition is starting to change as people become more saavy.
SCIENCE DIET WILL KILL YOUR CAT and if your vet sells this, I would highly recommend you find another vet.
Cats are not genetically programed to be able to digest dry food, let alone corn, wheat, soy, or gluten.
Please read the ingredients on the bag. They are carniverous by nature. Dry food...
Please do not feed your cat dry food. That is the cause of the pooping problem. Look at the ingredients, corn, wheat, soy, and gluten or any one of these can disrupt the proper digestion in felines (and canines).
We learned a very harsh lesson here, $1500 later in testing, and finally came to...
You should eliminate the dry food completely Mom2LB, and only feed wet with a little extra added water, but only without corn, wheat, soy, or gluten. The Friskies Classic Pates, Poultry Platter, Turkey Giblets, Liver & Chicken, and Supreme Supper are grain free. Lisa Pierson's web page is very...
