I am in the process of doing this now. I just removed it and I vacuumed the mattress and boxspring and I vacuumed and mopped under the bed which is a place Misty likes to go. I am leaving sheets off the bed for now and will put them on before we go to bed tonight. I'm thinking maybe letting...

Hi everyone. I hope I don't sound crazy here but I am clutching at straws to figure out why my kitty, Misty is so itchy for such a long time. It started in January of 2006 with a slight shake of the head. I had her ears checked, they were fine. A few months later, it persisted so I had her...

I began to worry about the not pooping but thank God she was peeing. If she wasn't peeing I would have had her to vet immediately since I've already experience enough urinary problems with her. Now I am watching her closely because she was doing a lot of yowling and crying everytime I was busy...

Thank you for your reply. Misty just did her business. I was very happy to see her make her poop and made such a fuss that I think she thinks I'm crazy now. Apparently she wasn't aware of any problem because I guess there wasn't one. I just like to make sure my little girl is OK. Thank you...

I'm not sure if I am worrying over nothing but I am hoping someone can give me some ideas. My 9 year old cat Misty has not pooped since Thursday night. This is Sunday afternoon already. She pees, eats, plays and sleeps and does not seem to be uncomfortable. In fact when she plays, she runs...

I have a problem where my cat had first been diagnosed with Struvite stones and the vet had me give her a prescription diet (Hill's s/d) plus an extra additive called DL-Methionone to further acidify her urine. The result was her PH went down to 5 and she ended up with Calcium Oxalate stones...

Hmmmm, I understand about those collars. Animals hate them so much. My Misty had surgery to remove stones from her bladder 2 years ago when she was 7 years old and my vet used internal stitches so I didn't have too much trouble with Misty licking and didn't need the collar. However, she would...

Thank you all for your replies. My vet is very loyal to Hill's so I think I might have to find another vet to talk to about this food. Whenever I ask him if there are other foods, he just says that Hill's is the best prescription food company. I went to the Royal Canin website using the link...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping to get a couple of suggestions. I am trying to find a cat food that will result in a urinary ph of about 6.8. My 9 year old cat Misty has had problems with Calcium Oxalate stones in the past but she started with Struvite stones. Treating the struvite stones caused the...

Keith, that was a beautiful tribute to Oliver. It is very clear that he was loved tremendously and that his passing left you with a broken heart. My best to you. Oliver was lucky to be so loved. RIP Oliver, your Daddy loves you. Karen

Carm, Thanks so much for all of that information. Your time is very much appreciated. I am so glad I came here to ask about this. I actually never heard of Royal Canin and someone mentioned it to me and I asked the vet and he said he didn't know much about it but why not just continue with...

Thank you so much. That PDF is quite interesting and very helpful. I think this might just be the answer to my little girl's problem. Misty had a battle with Calcium Oxalate stones BUT it was AFTER being treated for Struvite stones which she tested positive for at first. So this food might...

My cat had a problem two years ago with Calcium Oxalate stones. She had surgery to remove them from her bladder and now she is supposed to eat Hills X/D. She prefers can food but will not eat the X/D. She will nibble on the X/D dry food so I have been mixing some dry with some Fancy Feast and...

I will be adding my prayers. I had my own experience last night when I woke up about 2:00 in the morning and I heard a cat meowing. I looked at my Misty who was sound asleep next to me so it wasn't her. I thought maybe it was my Tino trying to reach me from the other side. Maybe the message...

Calcium Oxalate can form when urine is too acidic. Some cats are genetically predisposed to calcium oxalate stones. I think my cat is because she and her brother both had the same problem and both ended up with surgery. Here's a link that might be helpful...

My Misty had that surgery two years ago. Coincidentally it was on January 12th of 2005. The surgery was quick. I was so surprised when the vet called me about 45 minutes later and said it was done. He had to make an incision in her tummy, open Misty's bladder, remove the stones, flush the...

Well, I think Misty is feeling better. She is playing more and is starting to act like she owns the house. I think this must mean that she knows her brother won't be chasing her from any of the places she liked to sleep. It's sad though. She seems more confident now and that's a wonderful...

I am praying that Angel gets better soon. Did the vet say what he thought about what was seen on the x-ray? Is it a pin that Angel may have swallowed accidentally or somethng else? If so, are they going to do surgery? Poor Angel, prayers are going out for her. Karen

So sorry for your loss of Breezer.

I am so sorry for your loss. This is one of the most painful losses. The unconditional love we get from our cats is like no other love in the world. I feel your pain. I lost one of my babies because of vet's error two weeks ago and I can tell you, it is the hardest thing I have had to deal...
