Electric blankets are cancer causing - Heard about this in an EMF conference put on by CA Edison and the CA health dept. in1991 where a UCLA epidemiologist spoke about electric blankets and radiant heat causing cancer. Best to use self warming or cave type of cat bed where the cat’s warm breath...

Entry The most adorable thing about Tutu is how smart she is. She even speaks English words and knows what they mean. She says “no” and shakes her paw. She says “I wan” for I want and “I dowan” for I don’t want.

Her internal Med vet wanted Tutu on Leukeran an anti cancer Med when Tutu started losing weight with the excessively high steroids she put her on and the repeat urine infections. I consulted two oncology university vets who suggested what I wanted to do made sense. I wanted to lower her steroid...

I do not have a link. I was told this in person by the head pharmacist of the only pharmacy that still carries the Cisapride product. This was at least four years ago I think as my mom has since sold her Scottsdale condo. You can check with the FDA as he told me it was pulled off market for...

Just wanted all cat owners to know that Cisapride was pulled off market for humans. Only one pharmacy in Arizona has the remaining material. A few years ago my internal medicine vet wanted my cat to use Cisapride for her constipation. When I was in Scottsdale visiting my mom at her winter...

Just wanted to warn you all that it is not just Zantac that is a problem but Ranitidine itself as per news tv stories I have seen. Try maybe Pepsid AC regular strength 1/4 pill twice a day is what my cat uses for an anti acid. Ask your vet for something else to use. One tv program interviewed...

Update: Tutu is doing much better. The prednisolone made her much worse. Cornell oncology vet and U of Wisconsin oncology vet both said it wouldn’t hurt to lower her steroid Budesonide to see if that was the problem. My internal medicine vet didn’t like my consulting other vets and suggested...

The cobalaquin is hydrolyzed chicken flavored (not with protein that hurts IBD or triad disease) so they can chew it like a treat. I give one half daily as Tutu’s B12 was stable and she is little. Tutu is a lot more stable. Tutu’s new vet gave me a choice Tylosin antibiotic for her intestines...

I myself have pernicious anemia and have injected a small amount weekly for 27 years so I surely would like to know the brand name that has no aluminum in it - I found another way to give cats B12 - it is a pill called Cobalaquin and has been tested safe for IBD cats at a Texas A&M. Tutu is on...

There is a new B12 Med not an injection and Texas AM tested it with IBD cats is safe for them. Called Cobaliquin -is chewable chicken flavored but no whole protein. I give my cat that daily. I still can’t believe she has intestinal lymphoma with her blood looking good and she only has weight...

After all these bleeding reactions after urinalysis months later it happened again and this time we caught it - it is an infection needing a different antibiotic. No more urinalysis without a weeks worth of antibiotic to follow to prevent it from occurring again. I was right all along!!!!!

Thanks me too!!! She is my heart and soul so I hope she gets better soon

My internal medicine vet is a former UC Davis professor vet. I have thought hard about what to do. Tutu’s weight has stabilized though she eats more often to maintain it. Other than the weight loss no other new symptoms. She has had IBD for all of her16 years. I have a close friend who has...

My cat is losing weight eating good with decent bloodwork considering her medical conditions but not absorbing food well. She has pancreatic lipidosis (pancreatitis) and a worsening case of inflammatory bowel disease. Also occasional inflammatory liver. She had a rare benign liver tumor...
