I purchased mine at Petco and thought it still was expensive. Also, Feliway comfort zone diffuser did not work for me with my cats. Good Luck!

Ok! Thanks! I will ask the vet. about Revolution. :clap:

If I just administered Advantage last night to my cats and they are still scratching today is it safe to give them another flea medication? My vet. recommends Cheristan or Activyl - neither of which I know anything about.

So I bought the meat grinder Dr. Pierson recommended and I spent pretty much all day this past Sunday making the cat food from turkey thighs.  Since this is my first time using Dr. Pierson's recipe I have questions for those who have experience using her cat food recipe.  My biggest question has...

For  a cat who has been idiopathic hypercalcemic should I remove 50% of the turkey thigh bones, instead of 25%, prior to making Dr. Pierson's cat food recipe?  Also, is there any way to check with Dr. Pierson regarding her recipe to make sure that the vitamin slurry is based on 3 pounds of...

Thank you mshauer for the quick response.  Is there any way I could get a definite answer to my question, from Dr. Pierson, prior to my using her recipe?  Thanks again!

Update on my idiopathic hypercalcemic cat. I ended up not purchasing the recipe from UC Davis Vet. School due to my cat no longer being hypercalcemic and the recipe they were proposing to formulate for me would be low in protein and have rice in it. Thus, I have decided to buy a meat grinder...

My IBD cat has been doing well on Fancy Feast Classic Turkey and Giblets and Fancy Feast Classic Chopped Grill. He also enjoys Tiki Cat Puka Puka Luau chicken consume without the egg. He has pancreatitis and is now 14 yrs. old. Recently, I took him off of Denamarin and put him on a probiotic...

My 14 year old male cat was on prednisolone for years for IBD until he became diabetic. Fortunately, when he was slowly weaned off of the Prednisolone he was no longer diabetic and never received insulin. He was on metronidazole and Pepcid and Denamarin for a long time. Within the past...

Thanks for the suggestions regarding contacting Dr. Peterson and or Dr. Pierson for a recipe. Since my cat now has a normal Ionized calcium level and I have already paid in advance for the UC Davis home prepared recipe - I am wondering how frequently Idiopathic Hypercalcemia re-occurs and if I...

Feeling mixed emotions today. My cat's Ionized calcium level is at 1.30 which is in the normal range and cause for celebration. My cat is now being weaned off the Salix and subcutaneous fluids that he has been on for over two months. However, the expensive recipe for a home prepared diet that...

Thank you for sharing the informative web links. While I had already seen the articles you sent - it was good to re-read and review them again. I sure hope I can get my cat's Idiopathic Hypercalcemia under control with a special diet. I feel guilty about holding off on starting him on...

Thanks! I hope to get a low calcium recipe from the University of Davis' Nutrition Dept. within 1-2 weeks.

Not yet. Apparently, it takes one to two weeks to receive a specially formulated diet. I have been holding off on giving my cat Prednisolone and Alendronate. However, now that I convinced my cat's primary care vet. to reduce the amount of Salix he gets I may have to put him on Prednisolone if...

Just a follow up regarding my contacting a vet. nutritionist. Individualized recipes for a cat are expensive but in my case appear to be necessary since no commercially available canned cat foods are low in calcium.
