    Weird Piece In Cat Food

    The first three ingredients are turkey, chicken, and liver. Wow, so maybe pieces of hard bone are getting through processing. I wonder how much of that he's eaten. Last week he had a bad cycle of vomiting after eating for several days. I will be interested to hear what the company has to...

    Weird Piece In Cat Food

    I saw the Muse recall, but this was in Crave. Pierre has been eating it since his dental and really likes it. It's protein based, but I don't think they include bones. I like it because it comes in smaller twin packs so I don't have to refrigerate and that goes over better with Pierre. I...

    Weird Piece In Cat Food

    I should also add that this was in canned food, not dry.

    Weird Piece In Cat Food

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to attach a photo here so hopefully it works. I found this weird piece of something as I was dishing up Pierre's food this morning. It almost looks like a pebble and it's very hard. What's strange is I had found something similar a while ago in a totally different...

    Constipation/vomiting/miralax

    Right now he's not interested in eating anything. I think his tummy is still upset. He did eat a normal amount during the day and kept it down so I'm hoping soon he'll want to eat his bedtime meal. I am not going to try the miralax tonight, I'd like to see if he vomits without it like you...

    Constipation/vomiting/miralax

    Hi all, My poor Pierre has had a rough few weeks. He had dental extractions about six weeks ago and seemed to have finally recovered from the procedure and medications. Here is some background: He has been on 1/4 tsp twice a day of Miralax for about five weeks with success helping the...

    Prednisolone

    I followed the vet's taper instructions exactly, and my home vet also knows about it and didn't make any changes. Maybe because the primary dose was only 3 days? He got his last taper dose on Monday night (so 4 days ago). As of now, he is doing great! He's been eating better and on the...

    Recovery After Dental Extractions

    Hi everyone, As I've talked about in a couple of threads, my boy Pierre (14yo) had 4 dental extractions one week ago today. He's had a rough recovery including an ER visit for an enema and a visit from our home vet today. He is basically on the upswing from what I see in his behavior and from...

    Prednisolone

    I had the home vet out today just for a check up on Pierre. His energy came back yesterday and he's acting way more normal. However he still seems to have nasal congestion and some runny eye, as well as head shaking like something is in his ear. The vet thinks he's having a flare up of herpes...

    Prednisolone

    This morning he left his second post enema gift for me in the litter box. I have never seen so much in my life! He seemed alert otherwise and ate breakfast but was hiding when I left so I think it's taking a lot out of him. I've also noticed some head shaking, like they do when something is in...

    Post-dental Behavior

    Yes, please let us know! My boy had Event 2 overnight post enema. Can't believe he could even hold so much!

    Prednisolone

    Thanks everyone for the input and support today! I'm going to bed soon, hoping for a quiet night because I have a big day at work tomorrow. I sent all the info plus my questions to my regular vet and asked if they have time to see him on Tuesday. I hope it works out, they know him the best.

    Prednisolone

    Thank you for the pep talk. It's been a long week and I'm just anxious to finally have my boy back.

    Prednisolone

    I sent an email to my primary vet to see if they think the whole 5 day course of lactulose is appropriate. I wish it wasn't Sunday so I could talk to them before I start it, but a couple of doses will probably be okay for him. I also asked if they can come by on Tuesday to check on him (they...

    Post-dental Behavior

    I don't have any input on the limping, but how is his pooping? My 14yo male had 4 teeth extracted last Tuesday. He was returning to normal on Friday but became lethargic over the weekend just as you described. He would eat food in bed but not go to the bowl. He would play but only if I...
