I took her for complete labs just over a year ago. They were not happy with her weight then and it was suggested to give all wet food. She is a grazer. I don't think what I give is a lot. She gets 1/2 cup either Crave or Purina One dry daily and 1.5 oz Sheba pate morning and evening. Is...
Hi iPappy.....Skye is a picky eater but loves to eat and I'm trying to cut back a little. I worry so much about meds damaging kidneys and stuff like that. Did it cause any constipation, diarrhea, puking on your little girl? I want to try something but looking for the best. I'm even over...
Hi, poor Skye is limping bad and less active and hiding and sleeping more. She's about 11-12 years old now. I'm so sad and guilty because she weighs about 19 pounds. She's indoor and has no real exercise. I got her a memory foam dog bed and a self heating sheep skin type square for the bed...
Oh, thanks for that! I thought I saw somewhere Miralax is okay. You should have seen me jump for joy when she did a perfect BM yesterday! An exciting life I lead...LOL!! But yes, that was after four or five days. I can tell when it's hers. Skye is a perfect lady and covers everything...
Thanks Indy Jones....exactly. After two or three days then she drinks too much water after eating she will throw up. Very delicate old lady she is. It's awful when your day consists of watching for cat poop! Blessings......
Thank you both for your kind replies, Azazel and FeebysOwner. It has been nearly a year since her last thorough check with labs and all. A few months after I rescued her from being abandoned in an elder apt for over a month, I nearly lost Lucky. She completely stopped eating, p-ing, and...
My 12.5 year old, Lucky, seems to always be constipated. Not going for a few days and when she does it's kind of hard and dry. What can I put in her food to help lubricate things?? I've tried drops of olive oil but that doesn't do much and have to be careful as she gets upset tummy easy...
Hey white shadow, hi! Thanks so much. That was quite informative! Have had a partial used bag a few weeks now, sitting on the counter. Had it for "just in case" but now that both are drinking water definitely want to chuck it out. Again, thanks so much for directing me to that info....
Well, here we are weeks later. Lucky had been taken 2 X to the vet for euthanize only to "give it another chance." After not making my bed for days and allowing her to curl up where my body heat and scent were, checking on and petting, SQ fluids, special diet kitty food, she came back...
