Yeah, agreed. It's been a month or a little more of nonstop diarrhea AND we were feeding him quite a bit less than usual (most days only 3 oz of wet food compared to his 2/3 cup of usual dry). Plus it was wet food, not dry, so less carbs as well. I'm not SUPER worried, just bothered. He's always...

Honestly, I've never once went to the vet and gotten a definitive answer. Not once. And we've been to different vets. It's usually always just guesswork, which is essentially why I was trying to figure things out on my own at first. But I knew I couldn't get my hands on an anti-inflammatory for...

So we took Finlay in earlier to the vets. They did an overall exam; no fever, heart and lungs sound very good, no lumps or bumps, well-hydrated. Only thing was his intestines were liquid-filled, which he said was to be expected with the chronic diarrhea. Finlay has lost a little bit of weight...

I'm a HUGE hypochondriac with myself and with my cats, so I'm literally just a huge ball of anxiety and super shaky as we speak. Sorry for spam posting.

As far as giardia goes, all of my cats are indoor (we have 13) and all of them but Finlay are having normal poos. They all share the litter boxes so I'd imagine at least one other would be having issues. I've been really intently watching them when they go in the litter box, every single one of...

So we got an appointment for Finlay tomorrow afternoon. We waited a little longer than planned because his poo began looking more pudding-like with a slight formation starting. So we figured mixing an expensive grain-free wet food with a cheap, non-grain-free wet food with a 1/2 teaspoon of...

I'm glad our situations are similar. Makes it easier to pinpoint issues. I hate to be a pest, but can you show me the exact canned food you're feeding Buzz? The stuff we have is like $13 for 12 3-oz. cans and is grain free. The third ingredient after water and turkey is indeed chicken. I wonder...

Thank you for the attached image. Definitely helps. But yes that does sound a lot like Finlay's case. I checked his poo early on this morning when he woke me from near sleep with the loudness of it. I don't see any blood in it, which I guess is a good sign. Last time when Theo (and actually...

Okay, interesting. Do you recall what your cat's bowels looked like? Again, Finlay's are light brown in colour, pretty much entirely liquid, and very loud coming out. Just really gassy and airy sounding. Can you give me a brand that you would use with the psyllium powder? I looked it up and saw...

We plan on it. We are just very low on money. Like very low at the moment. And when we took Theo it was over 300. Which is about 1/3 of what we have right now because of unexpected expenses. We will have 300 taken out for cat food within the next week as well, so it is very tight at the moment...

I would also like to ask if the pumpkin could be causing more harm than good or if I should continue giving him pumpkin as well? Could the grain free variety of foods we are feeding him be irritating his stomach possibly? Would a cheaper food be better? I've read many things online saying dry...

Hi again. So last time I posted about my one year old cat Theo having diarrhea. This was in the beginning of September. He went to the vet and was put on a GI Anti-inflammatory of sorts that helped solidify his poo and was on antibiotics. His stool, blood and urine were tested and all came back...

You're exactly right, but even just 12 years ago, when I got my two oldest cats (I'm 24 now) my mom insisted on declawing them because she didn't want them ruining her furniture. I dunno, I guess being ignorant to what it does to them is acceptable, but then just being selfish about belongings...

My parents had one or two cats when I was born, so I definitely grew up on them. I haven't gone a day without having a cat in the house. There are a lot of regrets I have from childhood though, like things my mom and dad had done, such as declawing our cats or just straight up getting rid of...
