My cat just came home from an emergency visit with several meds, including vitamin K1 tablets. She's supposed to have half a tablet two times a day. How should I give her this? Do I try to get her to chew it or treat like any other pill that she should just swallow? The tablets are scored in the...

My cat has had IBD for about a year and eating Royal Canin rabbit protein wet and dry food. She's been on Prednisolone for several months, which initially worked well, but now I'd say she's almost back to where we started in terms of soft stools and diarrhea, although she doesn't often vomit...

One of my cats has had inflammatory bowel disease for a year; she sees the vet regularly, is on a special diet, has been prescribed prednisolone, and recently was prescribed probiotics. My other cat, her sister/littermate, has been fine. I have video monitors on all the litter boxes but haven't...

One of my cats has inflammatory bowel disease. She's on a special protein diet (what we've been using since this disease was diagnosed nearly a year ago is Royal Canin rabbit protein, both wet and dried). The vet has also been trying prednisolone for several months, and we're still trying to...

I have a 13-year old cat, adopted a year ago along with her sister. I'm currently feeding her canned food from Applaws, various fish and seafood varieties, flaked, in broth or gravy. Lately she's been acting like she's starving (I assure you she's not!), very aggressively meowing multiple times...

One of my cats is on a special proteins diet for IBD, the other is not. The one who can have regular food has become super fussy about food recently, although she likes the occasional small amounts of leftover special proteins food I let her have when the other one is finished. Searching for...

My cat was diagnosed with IBD earlier this year and placed on a novel proteins diet (Royal Canin wet and dry). While this hasn't completely stopped diarrhea and vomiting, they were not occurring very often. However, the situation got worse recently and I took her to the vet a few days ago. She...

I have two cats, one of whom is on a special, novel proteins diet. The other can eat regular food. Although she's a senior (13), I've only had her and her sister for a year. The shelter told me they were eating Fancy Feast, so I continued to do that when I brought them home, then transitioned...

One of my cats has been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease, primarily based on symptoms, not extensive testing. For several months she's been on a novel/special proteins diet, being fed wet and dry varieties from Royal Canin. The wet variety she's been on is RC rabbit; I just learned the...

I've had cats all my life and am very familiar with their tendency to suddenly stop eating the food they've liked for months of years, but here we go again. I have three cats; one has been on a special protein diet for about 6 weeks and so far is doing fine. A second was diagnosed with anemia...

One of my cats was recently tentatively diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (the vet isn't 100% certain, which is why I said tentatively). She recommended placing my cat on specialized protein foods; I bought both the wet and dry varieties she recommended. She also gave me some probiotic...

My 12-year-old cat was recently tentatively diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease after video monitors placed on all litter boxes (I have three cats) indicated that she was the one having diarrhea every few days and occasional vomiting. The vet prescribed a diet of special proteins dry and...

I just cleaned up some diarrhea that was mostly just outside a litter box. I have three cats and four litter boxes. One of my cats has been seriously ill and probably has had diarrhea occasionally in the weeks leading up to her diagnosis; she recently spent several days at a specialty clinic...

My 14-year-old female was admitted to an emergency/specialty clinic for several days after my regular vet found that she had anemia and that her red blood cells weren't regenerating. She had also lost her appetite (and lost several pounds in the last few months or longer). She was discharged...

I have three cats, so often when there's a problem (vomiting, diarrhea, etc.), I can't tell which cat is affected. Someone is having chronic diarrhea. Yesterday evening, someone vomited (no one witnessed it), and several hours later, someone (I think I know who, since another family member was...

My oldest cat is 19, give or take a few months. He has had a form of cancer for several years, but that's under control. However, there's no treatment for old age, and I'm wondering what to do. He hasn't been eating much for a week or so even though he's getting an appetite stimulant (Miraaz)...

My cat has an eye infection. She has prescribed an eye ointment about a week ago. The vet wanted her back for a one-week follow-up, which was today. The infection had begun to clear but not as quickly as hoped, so he also prescribed famciclovir tablets. Although my cat is 12 years old, she's...

I have four cats, three of whom spend most of their time on the upper floor of our house. That means when someone vomits, or has loose stools in the litter box, I often can't identify which one. However, a family member saw one of my cats vomit repeatedly (it was one incident, but she was moving...

I am always on the lookout for easy ways to sneak medicine into a cat. I bought some Pill Pockets the other day; I couldn't find any in the cat products section of the store, so I got them from the dog section. When I opened the bag, all three of my cats came running. I planned to give them each...

You'd think I would know, having had cats for many years. However, I'm in uncertain territory with my four cats right now. I had two cats for several years, after a couple of losses, and about six weeks ago adopted two new ones, adults, and am back up to four. The new ones are small cats, less...
