I just finished up my last bag and opened up a new one that was delivered mid November. Same issue: lighter color, slightly smaller kibbles, different smell. Expiration date is Feb 2023. Cats are turning up their nose to it, and it’s made one of my kitties vomit 3 times since opening last night...

Hey guys! Thanks for the responses. I was actually able to get her seen Sunday morning. They did a stain and confirmed no scratch. I was sent home with antibiotic ointment. By Monday morning, she was already looking much better. The person who is staying in my apartment to watch the cats has...

Hey all. Just wanted some opinions. Came home from work, and Minnow's right eye is pink and squinty. I made a vet appointment for Monday morning, but I am also flying out Monday afternoon for a memorial service. I have people who will be watching the cats. How worried do you think I should be?

Back from the vet. No bacteria or crystals in the urine. I ordered some cbd oil and treats a few days ago. Waiting for that to come in and will see if that helps. Meanwhile, doctor has given him an antibiotic and steroid tablets for the next few weeks.

Sorry. When I mean pre-mixed I mostly meant whole chicken or whole rabbit frozen (like from hare-today). I will be exploring the different types of raw and what he'll tolerate. I'm definitely looking forward to food that doesn't have a ton of additives. He has actually seen 3 separate vets...

Honestly, I'm not positive what the cause is point blank. The dermatologist allergy test was just another thing to try. It just sucks that everything I try has to be done one at a time, or else I won't know what fixed it if I find it. It very well could be stress, but I don't know what could be...

Thank you! I think I'm gonna try and transition them to scheduled meal times then. Once I've got them used to meal times, well go all wet (they get wet at night currently and have free grazing on kibble). Then I'll start really introducing the raw. I'll try feeding Dante some bits during this...

For store bought meat, I would be feeding him this uncooked? My main concern is a feeding schedule. I work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week, so am out of the house for a minimum of 12 hours on those days. If he goes onto a feeding schedule, the other one will need to also.

I've tried to feed him commercial raw (frozen and freeze dried) and he's turned up his nose at both. He's a very picky eater, but I'll try again. Part of the issue is that I've got 2 cats now, and I'm not sure I could afford to feed both raw

Hey all. So I'm still having issues with dante and his itchiness. He has had hotspots on his lower belly for years now, only intermittently going away after steroid injections. For a while now, we've been trying to find the actual cause, but have had little success. Here's a very basic rundown...

My friend adopted a stray cat I brought in from outside. She was estimated to be just shy of a year old, but we can't really know for sure. She was already a very friendly cat, so getting used to humans was easier for her. We got her spayed right away. I'm not sure if you have the option, but...

They're both adorable! I agree with what others have said. Hissing, swatting, and growling are all normal ways they communicate with each other. Ears forward when close and backing off when the other hisses is really good! It sounds like they're both on a quick path to living peacefully with...

If she vomited up the ribbon and seems okay, you're probably in the clear. The image of the ribbon looks like it's in bile. She probably didn't have anything else in her stomach when she vomited. Just a word of advise for the future. If your kitty ever does accidentally eat a ribbon again, and...

I think only time will help in the long run, but for managing the anxiety, here's some things that helped me. 1. If you feel you need to cry, do it. Releasing some of that pent up stress can be cathartic 2. For some reason, sipping ice water helps me calm down a little. Something about the slow...

We're not annoyed at all! We love being kept up to date! Love to know what has happened. :cheerleader: I'm so glad that she seems to have made such a quick and neat recovery. She has such a wonderful and kind person taking care of her! Hope to see more threads from you in the future as she grows
