My cat had fatty liver and at the same time had undiagnosed diabetes with ketoacidosis. Major complications going on. luckily I had an amazing cat specialist Vet who gave me the following procedure which ended up saving my cats life. It works and she never had fatty liver again: 1. syringe...

Yes, I had never heard of it either.  This vet is an excellent vet and she gave me a print out that explained.  The L taurine, apparently, provides the amino acids for bile acid conjugation and the l-carnitine facilitates fatty acid oxidation and secretion.  She did, however, tell me that if the...

Hi there, I do my cat's fluids by myself (I live alone). The way that I found it to be easiest was to put her on my bed, up towards the pillows.  I make the pillows into a barrier on one side and then use my arm on the other side just to sort of hold her in place.  I have a ceiling fan and I...

I couldn't do the feeding tube for my cat, but I syringe fed her for 8 weeks.  I could tell she was felling better, but it was like she was used to me string feeding her (even though she hated it) and would not eat on her own.  So, I gave her an appetite stimulant that my vet had issued...

My vet has my cat on Miralax, 1/2 teaspoon twice daily.  That has helped with her constipation and it seems gentle.  No side effects at all.

Hello.  I'll tell you what my vet, who is a cat-only specialist, told me when my cat with similar issues was also diagnosed with diabetes.  First, for a cat with diabetes, they should be fed no dry food at all, not even treats.  She told me that it is very hard to control diabetes even with...

Yes there are alternatives.  I have fed my feral cat who has been blocked in the past Purina Pro Plan urinary with good success.  He has had no reoccurrences and it has been about 4 years.  I also have one of my own cats who had CHRONIC FLUTD for several years that nothing seemed to help. She...
