Thanks for all the advice everyone. I was using Praziquantel the brand name is tradewinds. It worked fine for the cats I could get it into but he is just crazy. I actually used the sit on method for the other rescue that wouldn't take it in his food and it worked perfectly fine for him but this...

I have actually tried the pillers too my vet gave me one and it was not very good so I bought a more sturdy one and neither works. I can't hold him still. I am going to try the baby food but if that doesn't work I'm probably just going to have to take him to my vet. I was looking for a good...

I actually have a jar of baby food left from when they had the URI. I will give that a try though I have tried in several other foods and he always knows its there. He is not finicky in the least and will eat almost anything but the minute I put medicine in it even if I do it where he cannot see...

He has been here with me for over 6 months I have not been able to find him a home. The tapeworms just presented a week or so ago. Having just spent over 2k because of a horrible URI that caused one of them to be hospitalized for a week I was hoping to avoid having to pay the vet to pill him. I...

I need help, I am at the end of my rope with this and I don't know what to do. I have this rescue cat and I have recently discovered he has tape worms so I bought some tapeworm pills and I cannot give them to him because he is impossible. I have tried putting them in treats, in food, in tuna. I...

Thanks everyone for the advice. I would really like to keep this kitty he is so beautiful and loving. I am worried that 4 cats might be too many though. I can afford them and I work at home so they never want for attention but I still wonder if 4 is too many.

I have rescued a stray that had been coming around my place for a few months now that I had been taking care of. The other day he showed up hopping on 3 legs obviously injured so I caught him and put him in my kennel away from my 3 cats so I could bring him to my vet. When I took him to the vet...

Thanks again everyone, I was definitely wanting to get away from the overprocessed, gluten filled foods that are so common and I spent some time reading and looking into the different foods. Orijen was my first choice but I couldn't find it in any pet store here. I will see how they do with this...

Thank you for the reply I am just switching over and I hope they will like it. I was looking at Orijen and really wanted to try it buy no one carries it here.

I just bought this to try it for my kitties because I want them to have the best nutrition they can and I read a lot of good things about it. My question is, when I opened the bag the food had a very strong fishy smell to it. Is this normal? I have never bought this kind before so I don't know...

Since it was originally stated that they thought there was a problem with the wheat gluten in these products I thought it was interesting to note that today when I went to the supermarket there was a notice of Ben and Jerry's ice cream recalls on the freezer cases. The notice said it was due to...

My cats have always eaten only dry. I started feeding them Iams canned 2 weeks ago when the Vet said Monkey had heart disease ( which turned out to be a misdiagnoasis thankfully ) and had to have a special supplement that needed to go in the food. If not for that she and Pixel would never have...

I am very angry about this! I just found that I had cans of the recalled food in my cupboard. I am now very worried about my girls. Luckily they didn't take much of a liking to the sliced in gravy type and barely ate any of it but now I am very worried and this just after a bad scare with Monkey...

Thank you for the link Eilcon, The vet did not say she had fluid in her lungs but she has had a bad cough the last week which is why I brought her in to the vet in the first place. She is just a domestic shorthair, no siamese or main coone as far as I know. I am waiting for a call back from the...

Hi, My cat is almost 7 years old. I did try searching the forums here but found the search would come up with alot of unrelated topics. I will try again. I am going to have the cardiac workup done definitely I have to wait for the specialist because this is a small town there is not one here...

Hi, thank you Epona. White cat lover, she took chest x rays and that was it. She also took her temperature and she listened to her heart. Her heart sounds normal but the x rays do according to her show that her heart is larger than normal. I am going to have a complete cardio workup done even...

I just got home from the vet and she says my cat has an enlarged heart and might have only a month to live. My cat had a cough this is why I brought her to see the vet in the first place. She is perfectly normal in every other respect. CAn anyone give me more information on this or point me to...
