He's getting 6-8 oz a day. I can ask the Vet's again but before when he acted like he didn't want to eat this food I just wanted to mix some Fancy Feast in with it and the girl at the front desk said it was defeating the purpose. I think she did ask the Vet. But I'm going to take him back in a...

I know hyperthyroidism was and I think diabetes must have been also. She ran an extensive blood panel on him. But I will have to ask them about the B12 levels.

I have taken my 14 yr old cat to two vets. The last Vet I was more satisfied with as she ran more extensive blood work. He has lost a good deal of weight since Dec. I don't have scales so not sure how much but he looks like skin and bones. She said it is Stage 1 of Kidney Disease and failure. I...

I decided after several days of him not eating anything that I had to take him in to the Vet's today for them to put him to sleep. I was surprised this morning before I left for work that he had the strength to jump up in my lap and I held him close for a while as if he knew it was our goodbye...

My 17 yr old beloved Buddy has spiraled down fast in just really only a month with kidney disease. Probably in the next few days I will have to make the decision to have him put to sleep. I have tried everything to get him to eat and he is not eating but maybe a little baby food off of my...

He is eating little bits of mainly gravy of the Hartz Lickable Treats. I didn't think he wanted to chew anything but I gave him a little chicken and he ate that. The vet's said that's worse on the kidneys because of the high protein. But cats easily get depressed especially not eating and it...

My 17 yr old male cat gradually over the last week has gotten more constipated but the vet's said he didn't seem to have much in him. I think he just hasn't eaten much in the last few days to poop maybe and I have tried so many different types of food. The vet's gave him some IV fluids but I...

I need to change from using clumping litter. I saw my cat lick scoop in the box several times and then lick his paws. I was using several months ago pelletized Horse Bedding until my cat had to stay at the Vet's for several days. Once he used their clumping litter I had to change litters so I...

My male neutered cat is on a diet and he seems to stay very hungry. I sometimes weigh out his good but lately I have been estimating it. I know he is probably getting more than enough and slowly losing weight. He has started first nibbling at my leg when it's near time to eat and just now it was...

I am thinking now it may be more Anxiety. He has always been more of a nervous cat anyway and my Jack is in one of his more aggressive spells now. I tried putting Buddy in the bedroom with me yesterday but he wouldn't stay.  He is always wanting to stay up on something, a chair or a shelf and...

No, he dozed maybe 5 minutes and now he is back awake. This is so upsetting when you can't do anything for them.

I know most people are going to say consult a Vet first. But I have noticed my 15 yr old cat doesn't seem to be sleeping enough and he has lost weight. He seems like he may be going to sleep now after I gave him 1/2 a Chlorotab but he knocked some things off a top shelf before he seemed to...

I really feel for you. As mine have gotten older especially my 15 yr old he has had several trips to the vets for congestion. I have been hearing him cough periodically but I just can't take him in. Sometimes it seems to go away on his own. I think his could be allergies since I moved here in...

I checked with my Vet's and they have Advantage that I can buy one dose so I think I will have to do that because it will be cheaper then spending that much money at one time. These cats are costing me so much money! In December I had one with a urinary blockage that I am still paying on that...

One of my 3 does and sometimes sleeps closer to my head.  But as soon as he starts bathing himself too much I push him to the foot of the bed. The other two move around too much. I live in a small apartment with no door to my den. So one of my other ones kept scratching and hitting at the door...

I have seen a few fleas on my indoor cats. It has been so many years since I have had to worry about this that I am not familiar with any of the products my vet's lists on their website. I have big problems in the past and I want to stop it now before it gets worse. Does anyone have any...

I know this is quite a debate. I have a 15 yr old male cat that has been underweight. He looks like he is putting on some weight but I have been feeding him more FF fish 'flavored' foods. He gobbles those up. What should I do at this point? I don't want to have him on an all fish diet. I also...

I appreciate the replies. I heard about kitten food and usually he eats it but not much this morning. I am giving all 3 of mine canned because I had one with urinary blockage so I am worried about that. I will probably try and take him to the Vets. Since my Vets has not 'pushed' me in getting...

I tried several different dry foods when my male cat was having loose stools. Nothing seemed to get better until I put him on canned food. I am not sure it is the grain or carbohydrates in the food because the last food I had him on was grain free. But it really cleared up over night. I...
