Another option for maintenance that I used for a while is Eagle Pack wet food and Solid Gold Berry Balance mixed in. It changes the Ph level of the urine. If you go this route I would have your kitty's uring Ph tested periodically.. we actually had it work "too well" and the Ph went too far...

Max had 10 days @ 2 times per day, with urinanalysis' before & after as well. We did the Rx food for about a month, and have now transitioned to mixing in Solid Gold Berry Blend (cranberry & blueberry based vitamin C supplement) and Cosequin (glucosamine) with his canned food (non-rx) and also...

I use J&J baby shampoo all the time on my furbabbies! I have also used Baby Magic which works well also.

Just picked up a zoom groom last night, maybe this will help ::shrug::

I have my guys on Innova Light, was hoping the extra Omega 3 would help - but our dandruff problem is still pretty bad.. thoughts?

There are also alternatives besides raw. If you go to a well stocked pet supply or feed store, there are a lot of options - but you have to read the label. Abbey was 22-23 lbs, and she is down to 15-16 now, and still loosing. The key is to not free feed, and pay attention to the ingredients...

Abbey used to be too fat to clean her own tush well (ewww..) Baby wipes worked really well - although I am really happy that she has lost enough weight to reach now!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for collapsible or foldable cat carriers? We currently have a large carrier (actually a medium dog one thats HUGE) and a real small cat one -- and 3 cats. Now the smallest cat doesn't like the small carrier so I think we have to upgrade.. It...

I can totally relate.. I still cry for him, but you would never know that he was sick. He eats, sleeps, and acts perfectly normally. Occasionally I catch him breathing with his mouth open and I kind of panic, but I know he is getting the medication and vet care he needs. I just have a hard...

our vet said that Strydex for Sensitive Skin is a safe and effective treatment for kitty acne. apparently the sensitive skin formula does not have alcohol in it which is better for kitty. I have gotten mild cases to go away with washing his face with Baby Magic (baby soap/shampoo) and warm...

Please please please make sure your vet listens for a heart murmer if you ever see your kitty doing this if it's not immediately after running or playing very hard. That is one of the symptoms of HCM, a genetic heart condition. If it is, and they catch it early, it can be treated.. if left...

I would see if there are any urgent care facilities in your area.. Also, make sure your kitty is drinking, maybe even try to put a little chicken broth in the water to make it more enticing, but your kitty should definitely be seen by a vet.

Unfortunately, yes, I do have experience with HCM. My little Logan was diagnosed with it about 6 months ago. My vet caught the heart murmor during an exam when I brought him for what I thought were siezures. We think now that the siezures were actually fainting spells. Anyway, the vet can...

That gives me an idea.. can you freeze the egg yolk to kill the bacteria? Then defrost the whole thing & mix it in? It would probably be safer than not freezing it, no?

Since my guys are basement-bound at night (behavior problems around 4am, we don't have many other options) dinner time is the only way to get all 3 down there.. 8am and 11pm. 1/6 of a can and 1/8 cup each feeding, both are Innova lite.

We use ant traps instead of spray.. Just hide them or double stick tape them to the counter so they don't become hockey pucks

Thank you Larry.. I am so sorry you and Jack had to go through that. I never would have thought to incist on the vacination site on my guys -- thank you for the information!

I didn't realize so many other kitties liked chips! Logan LOVES any salty / crunchy chip or cracker -- even flavors I wouldn't expect like salt & vinegar and the Soy chips I get sometimes. He is relentless, no matter how spicey or sour he will actually steal them out of your hand while you are...

for weight loss the Science Diet works well though. I agree that the ingredients aren't ideal, but we used it for Abbey (she was 23 lbs!!) until she got down to about 16 and then I switched to Innova Light.

Mimi, what various diets have seemed to work for you? Abbey has gone down from 23 lbs to 16 on SD r/d, but I am trying to migrate her to equally strict portions, but of another food (we are testing out Innova lite now). Any suggestions?
