Pepcid twice a week seems to be the minimum effective dose that works. I don't want to give her any more meds than necessary, but she for sure needs the lactulose or something to help prevent constipation. I'm not sure if I feel Metaclonpramide is doing much, although I did notice it's effect...
I looked for the test results and couldn't find them, although I know I have them in our fire safe (which is very disorganized right now). They ruled it IBD, but I think that was by exclusion. They were looking for lymphoma. She's only had vomiting and constipation and I questioned the vet about...
Blood work is great. It's not a reaction that happens every time with a certain food. We try to do pumpkin as often as possible (usually every morning blended up in wet food, but she doesn't always eat much of that wet food).
Vomitting more frequent at night, so I dose her meds in the evening...
My older cat, almost 12, vomits food more than in comfortable with. No food allergies. We've been to the vet at least a dozen times over the past year and a half. The keep calling it IBD, but I honestly think she has stomach problems (sour stomach or maybe reflux, plus the tendency to gorge)...
He's pretty ruthless with the older cat. She will cry, hiss, try to defend herself, run and try to hide and he won't let up. I was able to distract him last night after a few times asking him if he wanted a treat, but obviously I can't do that if I'm not here. The bigger cat can usually put him...
I have 3 kitties, an 11-year old female, 6-year old male and terrible 2 year old male. I found him when he was 6-ish months old. It's clear he was weened too early because he suckles. I have this feeling that maybe he wasn't socialized as a youngster either.
So, here's the problem: Sometimes he...
ENTRY - Ziggy is curious about and into everything - he brings me dusters, pain brushes and exercise bands. So I have to be creative in putting away or hiding things that I don't want him getting into and putting out things that I do want him to get into!
Leta went to the vet this morning after being a little more aggressive with me. They checked her out thoroughly and couldn't find any problems. They think maybe she's having some kitty roid rage - about 3 weeks ago, she was at the vet for a flare of a facial allergy. They gave her a steroid shot...
Yesterday I did notice that she was a little constipated. Today I noticed that she had evacuated. She made a feeble effort to swat at me not too long ago.
We had a vet appointment Saturday, which I decided to postpone. I have realized that this all started since getting new bar stools for our...
Thanks everyone,
Her weight has been steady. Haven't changed her food in a while. Don't think the checked her thyroid recently as that's a thought that I've had myself. Never could find any food sensitivities.
I've had Leta since she was 8 weeks old. She's now 11.5 years old. She's a bobtail.
A few years ago she started having problems with constipation. The vet did an x-ray and said that because of the bobtail, her spine is such that she can't get in the proper poop position. She also has arthritis...
