Had no clue where to start. So helpful and easy to follow. Thanks so much.

Didn’t realize that it’s been so long since I updated. Things are better, but not totally. Over the past 3+ weeks, I’ve given him S. Boulardii every day - ½ capsule, twice daily. That’s helped somewhat. His stools got firmer and somewhat formed. They went from pancake batter to formed, but very...

Thank you! I did a lot or research switching his food around with the diabetes, but never heard of Rawz or Mouser. Doing a quick search, there’s a shop not too far from my house (we’re in New Jersey) that carries Rawz pates. I’ll stop by in the morning and pick up a few to see if my fussy boy...

Our vet said that the first vet ran a comprehensive PCR, more than they usually test for... according to her. I have the report and they tested for 22 parasites, all not detected. She definitely recommended starting the Metro and definitely as a shot in the dark (my words not hers). She said...

Thank you both. Appreciate the suggestions. I just started a spreadsheet to keep track of all of the ingredients, not just the protein. I try not to give him anything with agar-agar, but because I keep him restricted due to his diabetes, I sometimes let him cheat with something really tasty if...

Hi, my boy is 12 years old and except for diabetes in remission and 2 pounds overweight, he’s healthy as far as we know. He takes Jackson Galaxy Complete Cat Probiotics every other day and 1-TDC every other day for his oral health (he had 11 teeth removed last year due to resorption and started...

I tried wetting the freeze dried chicken treats just enough to soften. He doesn’t want anything to do with them! He’s alway been a very picky eater. Likes his food, but doesn’t like anything different. Anything new and he’ll let it sit there all day until dinner time. I’ll try wetting his...

His surgery was done at dental only specialty practice (they are on the AVDC website). We're lucky enough to live in an area where there are several practices within a 45 minute drive. We were in luck, scheduling wasn't a problem. He was at his regular vet for an annual (diabetes in remission -...

He does have a follow-up appointment scheduled for October 4, two weeks and a few days after his surgery. I am giving him Gabapentin, so hopefully he doesn't have pain. He does seem to be a bit better each day, his personally almost back to normal - he's following me around everywhere, even...

I thought about doing this, but thought that they would still be too course. They weren’t! Probably the best thing he’s eaten since surgery. Thanks! He seems to be doing better, no more hiding or weird behavior. Purring and for the most part, following me around. He is on gababentin for any...

Happy for the input. It’s so frustrating to not know how to comfort him. Good news - he seems to be better this morning. Jumping on the bed, purring some and following me around a bit. Certainly not 100%, but better than yesterday. Still doesn’t have his full appetite back, but he is eating. He...

I thought that he’s in pain makes me sick to my stomach. Will check again with the vet. Thank you.

Thanks so much for the response. Will try to look closer at his mouth. He won’t eat the food with his final Onsior and I won’t force him. Happily, right now he’s in one of his favorite chairs sleeping (not hiding!) - I‘ll try to get a look when he gets up.

Hi all, My 11 year old cat finally had some long overdue dental work done. This would have been done sooner, but he had difficulties with diabletes that we seem to have in remission. We delayed treatment because of his vets concerns over infection. Turns out he needed some teeth removed due to...

We have a former feral who we cared, for while he was outside for 4+ years, when he finally decided it was time to become an indoor kitty only. He's been in the house for almost 5 years. And everything has been great. He's skittish around everyone except for me and my husband. With us he's a...
