The vet also put him on Pepcid (or generic famotidine) to help with stomach acid and appetite stimulate. The doses changed as his stage increased. Later on he was also on Mirtazapine to help with his vomiting. You could ask your vet if that would help your cat and what dosage to give.

Tanya's Comprehensive Guide to Feline Chronic Kidney Disease - Everything You Need to Know to Help Your Cat Tanya's ckd webpage was recommend to me from people here years back when my rescue boy was diagnosed with ckd. He also would not eat any of the Rx foods. He tried all of them out there. I...

I ordered a bottle of Nutri-Vet Antimicrobial Wound Spray and have used it on her twice a day for a week and half or so now. The first couple of days I was able to spray it on the sores, but then she got really mad and I had to switch to using a cotton ball instead. It's helped the original spot...

That sounds like generic Neosporin, which is what I have from Walgreens. She can lick the neck area. And rub off the eye/ear, chin and back of head areas and lick that. That's exactly what she's done with the other 2 balms. I also thought aloe vera wasn't safe for cats, but the hot spot...

I was also going to suggest Da Bird. Young kitties and old kitties love it.

No. Regular nylon safety release collars like they always wear. It's from a 3-pack set from a brand I've bought before with no issue and the boys are wearing the other 2 collars with no issues.

I've left the collar off, but she keeps scratching and licking the spots she can reach. And maybe I escalated the problem trying to treat it.

@di and bob all 3 cats have breakaway collars from the same set. The boys haven't had an issue. Usually her collars loosen instead of tighten after wearing for awhile. They're indoor only. What human antibiotic salve would you suggest? I only have Neosporin at the moment and I don't think that's...

I’m looking for suggestions for cat safe products or methods to heal scabs and sores on my cat’s neck and chin. A couple weeks ago, I noticed her collar had tightened so I took it off to loosen it and saw 2 sores on the left side where the collar had rubbed it raw. I feel really bad about that...

I tried to trim my 2 senior cats nails when they were kittens and it basically traumatized all parties. I gave up and their nails haven't really been a problem. Fast forward to Dec. 2019 and I adopted a young stray cat with dragon claws. I had them trimmed at the vet at his initial visit and at...

@Carter1992, here's an example of furniture anchors, but I'm sure you can find something at any hardware store. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LB6VG77/?tag=thecatsite I have a few cat trees. None are achored. The tallest and oldest is 69" with a 24x24" round base and weighs 40 lbs from Trixie...

@FeebysOwner, these soft chews don't crumble easily. She made me think she loved the original flavor so I made the mistake of ordering a 120 day supply to save on the cost per soft chew and only one compounding fee versus one every 30 days. It saved me around $60. The feeding schedule is a 3oz...

She had another follow up at the end of August. The methimazole was helping, but they upped the dose to a 10mg chew split twice a day. I figured out the "seafood" flavor was the "fish" samples and she started happily eating her medicine again. But that only lasted a month. Now it's hit or miss...

She was begging for the original chews! I don't think she would eat baby food. A few years ago I tried to give my former male baby food meats when he was declining due to ckd (and probably cancer) and not eating. He wouldn't eat it and neither would she or the other male. The only other thing I...

On Monday (2 days ago) the vet had me bring my girl back to recheck the T4 after 10 days. They decided to double the dose to 5mg twice a day. At first she liked the chews, but now she doesn't. I had the original 5 chews, then another 5 from the vet in fish flavor. She finished those Monday so...
