Thanks. I think you guys are right. I hate feeding her kibble, but that's the one piece of her diet that I really know specifics on. I'll buy a small bag of that kibble and hope that I can use that and some of the classic Fancy Feast to get her used to her new home.

We're hoping to adopt a cat from a rescue today. She had to have surgery on a broken leg a while ago and has been staying with a foster for a few months. I know that the foster has been feeding her Pro Plan Savor Chicken & Rice kibble and Fancy Feast/other canned. It sounds as if there might be...

Abby is 2 years old. She has had a variety of issues, including suspected IBD (or food allergies, at a minimum). We took her into the vet about a month ago b/c she suddenly seemed to have no energy. Vet did bloodwork and said that she had never seen a living cat with that degree of anemia. Her...

This sounds a lot like my cat when we first got her. She was about 6 months old, loved food, played like crazy, had plenty of energy and had the stinkiest gas and loosest stool imaginable. We tried all sorts of things. The poor baby was racing to the litter box so often it was sad. One vet gave...

She’s only 2 years old. I don’t know if she’s been tested for anemia. I think I need to get a copy of the blood work. If it was done in April, will those results be much use now?

She had bloodwork done a few months ago when all of this got started. I really don't remember what the results were. Elevated white cells, maybe? We haven't had any done since then, though. The vet has been giving her b12 shots every once in a while. They started doing them when I read about...

I posted a few months ago about my cat, Abby. She was going through a really rough spell and the vet sent us to an internal medicine doc who thought it was most likely FIP. Other possibility was IBD but internal med vet really thought FIP was likely. The good news is that Abby is still with us...

Thought I would post some of the updates here, too. They're from a thread I started in the nutrition forum. From Wednesday 4/11: I posted a while ago about my kitty, Abby. She's been having loose stools, vomiting hairballs, and diarrhea for a few weeks. It would get better and worse. The vet...

I think they jumped to FIP b/c of the fever, globulin levels, and enlarged lymph nodes, but I'm not sure. They did a needle aspiration of the lymph nodes while she was still sedated. It'll take a while for those results to come back. They did say that it was possible, not definite, although they...

Well, the internal medicine vet office called today and said they could see her this morning. When they did an ultrasound they found enlarged lymph nodes. The blood work done yesterday came back with three different values that indicated a lot of inflammation. Her temp has been 103.7 yesterday...

I posted a while ago about my kitty, Abby. She's been having loose stools, vomiting hairballs, and diarrhea for a few weeks. It would get better and worse. The vet thought that her Primal freeze-dried venison might be giving her problems and we started looking for other food options. It seems...

We switched her back to the primal venison yesterday. In the morning, she ate most of the food I gave her. She didn't finish it all at one time. She took breaks and finally finished what she ate about 2-3 hours after I put the food down. I found another hairball yesterday afternoon. I think I...

The good news is that Abby seems to be acting more and more like her normal self every day. I really think the metronidazole took a lot out of her. The bad news is that she threw up 3x yesterday afternoon. Hairball came up the first time and then mainly liquid for the next 2. She was still...

Correction: she’s definitely gassy. Oh, my. Let’s hope that it’s feom the kangaroo and it’ll settle down soon!

Interesting about the agar agar, duckpond. I’ll try to avoid it (along with carrageenan). Of course, I say that now after I got back from the store! I swear that I forget about half of the things I’m either lookin to find or trying to avoid when I look at labels. I’m guessing I should do a lot...
