    Tylosin For Ibd

    Our vet has prescribed Tylosin for my ailing kitty. I can't get her to take it in food - she's barely eating as it is. Has anyone had luck with using the smaller gel caps (I'd transfer it myself) or with the compounded liquid through Diamondback Drugs? Thanks for any and all advice!

    Too old to convert to raw?

    Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has had success converting senior cats to a raw diet. My two (12 year old siblings) currently eat Taste of the Wild dry and a little Fancy Feast Classics wet. However, I want them to eat more wet and less dry, but not the Fancy Feast wet. Too many...
