Thanks so much for your help!!!

This is my Mom's cat, Sasha. I was wondering what type of tabby she is? Mom adopted her at our local animal shelter. They said she was a brown and white tabby, DSH. But She isn't brown in color at all.

This is my Mom's cat Sheba. The vet says she is a calico. But she also has stripes on some of her color patches. Is she a caliby?

Our vet told us to give moms cat, Sheba, laxatone every day. She was having bloody stools before. But no more blood now because of the laxatone. The problem is Sheba wont take it in food or in a dish by itself or on our fingers or on a spoon. So we have to put it on the inside roof of her mouth...

Gabapentin is a medication used i humans also. In animals it is used for nerve disorders and seizure disorders. It can make your kitty tired which is a normal side effect of this medication.

My moms cat Sheba has hyperthesia and is on gabapentin for it. It works well for her. They can gain weight on it. But we feel its worth it. It takes a while to build a theraputic level in the blood before you notice a difference. But it really helps Sheba.

We have been using a vaporizer. It works great for Sheba. Her fur is softer, less itching, and she has no problem with the vaporizer. No white dust. Sheba is doing great!!!

Thanks everyone for your help.

Will do 😸👍

Mom said perfect we will get a filter pitcher first thing tomorrow 😁👍 Thanks for your help!!!

Great idea. I will run that by my mom right now. Thanks.

My mom just bought a honeywell coolmist ultrasonic 1 gallon no filter humidifier for her cat Sheba. Sheba gets itchy so we are hoping it will help her itches and the dry air in the apartment. Mom used it last night and woke up with white dust on things from using the tap water. Its mineral...

Also sometimes it can be that their anal glands need expressed at the vet.

Our vet told us that cats sometimes pull out fur when they are in physical pain. For my moms cat she pulls out fur when she has nerve impulses that are called hyperthesia. So she is on gabapentin for that. But every once in a while she still does it. But a lot less often and a lot less pulled...
