    CRF - Chronic Renal Failure:links and experiences with

    All I have learned that my little Zoey will eat the Chicken flavored wet k/d [especially if I mix some water with it]. I have 4 lbs of the dry stuff as well. Can I mix with low-sodium chicken broth to make my own wet stuff for her to eat since she won't touch the dry stuff anymore? If so -...

    Knowing when it is time

    Am I a bad momma if I decide to put her down rather than subject her [and me] to endless manipulation of diet, force feedings, etc? I know that once we get her stabilized [if we get her stabilized] she can live for months or years. To be honest - I don't have the time [I work full time and am...

    Thoughts about why my girl isn't eating what she should be

    She is eating the wet food just fine....just not the dry food [or at least not much]. I'm sure she would eat more of the wet stuff if I gave it to her, but the vet wanted me to keep her on dry only -- but with the suggestion of giving her pepcid--i mix it in the wet to get her to eat.

    Thoughts about why my girl isn't eating what she should be

    He wants to check her out personally if she isn't back to eating her normal amounts in a week [which from when we talked would be Friday]. I'm thinking it could be she is tired of her food.....but can't take her off of it until the vet sees her because the anal sac issue would creep back in if...

    Thoughts about why my girl isn't eating what she should be

    Hi. My girl is almost 3 years old and has recently just stopped eating. Ok..she is eating, but only a fraction of what she should be. I feed Zoey 5/8 a cup of Science Diet W/D to help maintain a lower weight due to Anal Gland issues [which they think is tied to her weight]. Last time I took...

    Black Light / Retraining - Please help...I can't find the answer anywhere on the site

    I purchased my black light at Walmart. It is 18 inches long and is not battery operated...so it is bigger and you need a extension cord....but it is cheaper {$10} versus the ones at Petsmart that is battery operated {$16} What I saw was spots on the carpet that was "whiter" than the other...

    Does your cat(s) sleep with you at night?

    Sometimes. Zoey's bed is on the corner of my bed. She will start out in bed with me...but as soon as I turn off the lights she ususally takes off to explore the rest of the house. Sometimes when I wake up she is there....sometimes she is not. I rather enjoy seeing her there when I wake up.

    Urine Smell in Carpet

    I do plan on cleaning all the spots...but would hate to think that I have locked her a bathroom for "retraining" when she is not having an issue with peeing outside the box. As stated...there ws only 1 small spot that I found that had any odor...and she led me to it. I just don't want to blame...
