Hi! I don't check this site very often so I missed all the messages. We never did figure out exactly what was causing the brown spot. It would come off with hydrogen peroxide at the vet's (would not recommend this at home). We tried apple cider vinegar at home and that helped clean up some of...

Hello! Not sure if you've already found a solution to this? It looks similar to what had happened with my cat 2 years ago. For details check out this thread here Black Spot on Nose It also reoccurred this year, but didn't spread as much and resolved on its own. I wouldn't worry too much about...

Thank you! So far she's had 1/4th capsule and I'll give her another 1/4th before I head to bed. Good to know that it can cause constipation if given in excess.

She's still on the pred. We don't want to give her chlorambucil since she is very sensitive to it and has GI side effects like nausea, vomiting, inappetence even with round the clock nausea meds. Her last chlorambucil was two weeks ago and she's on the medicate-every-other-week (MEOW) dosing...

We held off on the metro as long as possible knowing that it would wipe out the gut bacteria. She had been on the max dose of ondansetron and Cerenia for 4 days with no improvement before we finally caved in and gave her the metro. We've continued the supportive and nausea meds but really...

It's funny I JUST purchased this 30 minutes ago :yess: Not quite sure what's going on with our cat. She's being treated for small cell lymphoma, but this particular episode can be a pancreatitis flare up. Her fPLI test was 50 and the range is from 0-3.5. Yikes. I was looking up supportive meds...

I have! She doesn't like it at all :( But she's liked nutritional yeast in the past as a topper, maybe I can try that.

Thank you for the recommendations! Will go pick up these options and present them to her highness :)

Our cat is dealing with a lot of health issues including CKD, pancreatitis and intestinal small cell lymphoma. She is currently recovering from a bout of diarrhea and the medication prescribed for that has caused inappetence. Mirataz and cyproheptadine have not worked in getting her to eat. The...

Hi @Baldwinc610 We had a similar situation with our cat. Here's my prior thread. She had this hard black scabby like spot that grew wider on her nose. She also had another spot that looked like dirt, similar to your picture above. We wiped it with apple cider vinegar and it fell off but kept...

@FeebysOwner @LTS3 @verna davies @TardisDance Thank you all!! I will get right on putting together a sampler of these foods for my cat, and I'll also get a hold of the EZ Complete supplement. I have asked the vet to check her teeth, I bring it up every time we're there. Which has been at...

It's a long story but our 13 yo cat was diagnosed with early kidney disease and the vet made us switch her to a prescription diet, which ended up doing more harm than good. She ate it for a few weeks but eventually got sick of it. As it turns out, she should not have been put on the CKD diet in...

@mrsgreenjeens I believe the Cerenia burns for some cats when administered subQ, which might be why she reacted that way. She was eating great until last night, and now I fear there's been a dip in her appetite again. Hoping it's just a phase and she eats more again. Will put out a sampler for...

We've tried everything. She's now refusing even plain treats because she suspects that there's meds hidden inside. The option that's worked best for us is using a liquid form of the med and using a syringe to push it in her mouth. It takes us a couple of tries but we're able to make sure that...

Turns out the Mirtazapine was not great for our cat. She had really strange behavior 36-48 hours after giving her the Mirt., even on a small dose. Her first dose was uneventful, but after the second and third dose she had bouts of extreme lethargy followed by extreme restlessness and...
