My cat This may sound not so right. Vet visits are costing hundreds of dollars now for a visit, any treatment can hit $700plus into thousands. I cant afford to rely on a Vet any longer for pet health issues but forced to become more self reliant on my pet care issues. I can afford once or...

Have bought Tiki mousse before about 3 years ago. Because of the pandemic cat food out of stock issues and it is not sold locally, i have forgot about the mousse product. Going to guess 12 in a box is no longer about $12. When i had the mousse before, i had 3 cats...one of whom thew it up...

Looking for an acceptable food paste or gel? for a cat. If your familiar with cat lax gel for hairballs, something like that but a food gel. Over the counter preferred or Vet prescription one. My cat , 11yo., for 9 years, always has choice of fresh dry and fresh cat food (usually fancy feast...

Good to know. I am on a track but slow track to move to people food for my dog and cat. Goes with out saying, there is an education to learn what people food is good and not harmful. Had a cat that loved brocolli but at the time, i did not know if it was harmless or not.etc. Today's pet food is...

Good to hear you recommend DogFoodDS website. i am a frequent reader of the site for about a year--glad to read your recommendation of the stie. Will update my dog,Pom, a tad later. Thanks for asking. Recently had my 19 yo cat put over the bridge, my 9 year old cat developed a mystery...

Just an update I am at a standstill---if that is correct word. About 7 weeks now going like this: My cat is still eating only about 15-30 seconds. Stops. Often tries to bury the food. Often i find her laying flat down crouched forward, jaws flat on the floor----sort of like when dogs will lay...

She's still eating a tad then stops. Plenty of energy. BUT for the 2nd time in 2 weeks , she threw up a hairball-----in 9 years i cant recall her throwing up a hairball. Shorthair hair cat.

Short story to the above: She is not starving but consistently hungry around the clock due to only being able to eat 10-20 seconds at a time. My significant other who handles the litter box, she says the litter box 'shows' she is eating. To find out why she is only eating 5-20 seconds at a time...

RE: From paper plates to McNuggets to baby food...everything in between i have tried. Going to bring her to the vet again next week and at least ask for more tests. Yes, the meds were to possibly target an unseen cause. Going to re try giving her a regiment of the pills During her 9 years, i had...

She has been laying like this alot lately. In Dog language i believe that means they may miss/waiting for someone to come home.. 3 months ago, She did lose her companion cat of 8 years. I dont believe it is an emotional stance for her but absolutely a 'key' to what is going on.

from VCA (TRUNCATED): " What are the clinical signs of pancreatitis and how is it diagnosed? The most common clinical signs include nausea, vomiting, fever, lethargy, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. If the attack is severe, acute shock or death may occur. How is pancreatitis...

I had it soooo easy giving pills to my other cat (passed at 18)with hyperthyroidism,2x a day for 6 years. Cat would go to the counter 2x a day at routine pill time,waiting for the pill. This cat is an extreme struggle as many/most people with cats would know. Going to try the crushed pill to a...

RE She is no longer throwing up. The baby food, she should took 2 licks then stopped. Still have more on standy Have not picked up nuggets, yet. Salmon is her favorite food favorite...bought some human salmon--no bones BUT double checked. Real strong sense of salmon, she ate the most at one...

Friday morning,first minute the vet opened,they were able to see her--although they were very busy. Her Blood work came back normal. Not lumps or anything could be seen in throat area. So unknown exactly what is causing her not to eat more than 2 or 3 licks of food at at time,,,,still drinking...
