    Diagnosed with Hodgkin's-like lymphoma

    thank you I’ll read those. Time seems to go slowly at night. I see! I will be talking to my regular vet and I’ll ask about all this. I will get a referral to multiple places. Apparently UC Davis isn’t accepting many patients but we can try!

    Diagnosed with Hodgkin's-like lymphoma

    Thank you, I did look through those. Yes the regular vet looked at the sample of the lymph node. It was sent to a specialist, which is how they got the diagnosis. An internal med vet is just the regular vet right? I'm looking into some studies that are ongoing at UC Davis, I have a few phone...

    Diagnosed with Hodgkin's-like lymphoma

    It's been a while since I've been here. My dear Chloe has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's-like lymphoma . I've never experienced this before since Chloe is my first pet. I'm also having a hard time finding information about it, it seems like it's not a common form of cancer. Has anyone had...

    Thoughts on Dr. Pierson?

    Dr Pierson got me into being more cognizant of food choices but I have definitely moved on. Dr. Becker? Absolute quack. I used to follow her many years ago but now it's just too cringe. On another note: a broken clock is right twice a day. Sorry about your cat, hopefully he feels better.

    No dice on high quality foods

    Oh my god!!!! Rad Cat! My cat absolutely loved that brand of foods over all the other raw foods. I wonder why. RadCat looked really fresh and Chloe would gobble it up. The next thing she liked was the primal nuggets/prontos. Radcat was amazing though.

    No dice on high quality foods

    Hello everyone! Chloe the cat has been eating dry food, which has been working well to get her off of the Friskies. My mom came up with a great plan to start reducing the cat's breakfast little by little to induce more hunger. At first Chloe the cat would sit in front of the bowl, tilt her head...

    No dice on high quality foods

    She will not eat anything I've tried. She is loving Purina Pro Plan dry food and Friskies pate. She was very thin, ribcage was very distinct even with a winter coat. We could feel every single vertebra with barely any contact. Now we can feel her spine but we cannot easily feel each vertebra...

    No dice on high quality foods

    Hello everyone, sorry i've been away! I've been trying various things and it isn't working. She has a clean bill of health and has been healthy. Excellent litterbox habits, soft and shiny fur with a spunky attitude like always. The only thing we've had success with is switching her from fish...

    No dice on high quality foods

    Hello! I have tried mixing foods into the Friskies and as of now she refuses to eat it. I have tried mixing 1/4 teaspoon of the Honest Kitchen mixture, along with some other canned foods. When she smells a different food, she will turn her nose up at it. Another thing that started up recently...

    No dice on high quality foods

    I got my cat as a 7 week old (too early). From 7 weeks old and up to now (almost 9 years old now), she has been on very high-quality foods. She grew up on a raw diet. We have tried: Raw diet: Frankenprey, alnutrin mix, Primal, Kiwi, RadCat Wet foods (canned/freeze dried): Primal, Stella and...

    Portioning raw food

    It's just whole ground rabbit, does that need supplementing? Last time I checked I dont think it was necessary (at least I hope it isnt!) I think I'll just stick with portioning it out by week because I dont really feel comfortable thawing out the whole thing every day.

    Portioning raw food

    So I finally found a guy that grinds rabbits whole with everything but fur! He sells them in 2 lbs packages. How do you guys portion out the meals? Do you guys thaw one day at a time or a few days at a time? Is it safe to thaw all the food I buy for the sake of portioning them?

    Dubia Roaches, crickets

    I know people that breed Dubia roaches for their reptiles. Of course sometimes there are a few that escape their bin. My friend's cats just wait around the roach bin and gobble them up. Is that ok for them? The roaches are usually fed some veggies, fruits and organic cereals.

    Cat won't eat certain meats

    My brother decided to buy Weruva (he believes cats should eat many flavors/types of food as long as it's high quality). She enjoys eating the chicken flavors and the Honest Kitchen is chicken too. But she wont touch raw chicken. Maybe I should try different parts of chicken... I'm thinking about...

    Cat won't eat certain meats

    I'm trying to switch Chloe back to a raw diet or at least half and half with the Honest Kitchen. She simply refuses to eat chicken and cornish hen. The only meat I've had success is her eating beef. Has anyone else had trouble convincing a cat to eat a certain meat? I read that beef shouldn't be...
