With my cat who had C. Perf, we didn't even bother with antibiotics (even though the Vet did recommend them). We went straight for the S. Boulardi with MOS, AND the highest fiber food I could find. My cat did NOT like the S. Boulardi with MOS, so it was hit or miss getting that into him, so my...
Well, I don't see anything with the Purina food that discusses Urinary health. Maybe I am missing it? The Iams definitely is for urinary health, but isn't for senior cats. I have two 15 year old cats and feed them Adult food, not senior food. Is there some reason you need to feed them Senior...
I am responding to your question about miracle supplements for kidney disease, which seems to have disappeared :dunno:. Sadly, there is no cure for kidney disease. Here is a wonderful website all about kidney disease in cats. Tanya's Comprehensive Guide to Feline Chronic Kidney Disease -...
We do have a sub-forum for raw and homemade food here: Raw & Home-Cooked Cat Food. Many people use a supplement like EZ Complete to add to their homemade foods (either raw or cooked) to make them 100% nutritionally complete, while others add in all the vitamins, calcium, eggs, and organ meats...
From his pictures, he doesn't look overweight to me. I had a kitten who WAS overweight because he ate everything in sight, including his brothers food, and at one year he weighed 16 pounds. Our Vet said he needed to lose 4 pounds, but he is now 15 years old and his "good" weight is just around...
To the original poster, Dasuquin is a stronger version of Cosequin, but I would discuss with your Vet using it with Solensia. I have no idea at all whether using it in tandem would be helpful, but possibly. And as stated above, heat is always helpful. I have also heard of people getting...
I did a search under "palladia" here on this site and got pages and pages of threads mentioning palladia, so I know many people have either thought about using it or have actually used it, but really, there is no way of knowing whether or not it bought anyone extra time, because there is no way...
I am just now seeing this thread and am so very, very sorry for your loss. I know just how devastated you are, having been there too many times myself :hugs:. Time does may the loss easier to bear. You will certainly never forget your sweet baby, but with time, as mentioned earlier, you will...
I am not really familiar with any specific FOOD that is required for liver issues. There are supplements and medications for that issue. My guess is that your Vet handles Purina vs Royal Canin at their practice and that is why they may have been opposed to the switch, since Purina also has...
Cutting out the dry is good. And those wet foods are decent foods with little grains, so I don't think you would need to make any more changes UNLESS she has a food sensitivity to something in there. Is she showing any other signs other than yeast issues? Itching?
I have heard that too many carbs can cause yeast infections in their ears. So, yes, a change in foods might help, depending on what you are currently feeding.
Not sure if you have already searched this site for other posts about PU surgery, but just in case, here is what I found:

Your Vet should give you post surgery instructions, then perhaps there will be something in the above...
I agree with the above poster that it just appears to be a little inflamed and should clear up on it's own. But do keep an eye on it. One thing though, Bird Flu is running rampant in certain areas at the moment, so if possible, try to keep your cat from eating birds. I know, I know, easier...
I found with my kidney cats that I needed to switch their food around often, AND they did much better with their eating when I served them many small meals throughout the day and night rather than just a couple larger meals. So I would serve up maybe one tablespoon of food (and that would...
As to the differences in those two foods, there is fiber, and then there is fiber. I'd say the fiber is the Royal Canin is probably a better fiber, because so many people say it really works for their cats. What is weird is that I just looked it up (also on Chewy), and it shows a 7.7 lb bag...
