Thank you for your responses! Tabbytom, That thread was helpful! My boy sits his fuzzy butt all the way down when he tinkles and he also makes large clumps. I’m guessing the clumping can’t keep up with him and the fact that he sits flat isn’t helping!! He’s a good water drinker and goes a few...

Hello :-). I have a very big long haired fluffy male cat who to the best of my recollection (he’s almost 5) has always gotten urine on his back legs/backside area after urinating in the litterpan. I’ve assumed this is normal as he’s had his urine tested in the past (for other reasons) and has...

I tried, and am planning on trying again...but she just won't eat anything that's supposedly good for her :( She has become very picky on top of it all, and I go through so many cans of food hoping I've finally picked a winner. My vet seems to think the the steroids would take of any issues...

Hey Cara80! I'm happy to hear that Buddy is doing well. I know I've been MIA, but I've been having a rough summer all around. I wanted to update you on Sweetie. Well, she is still with us, but I am still having issues with her. Less than a week ago, I thought I would be saying goodbye, but...

So update on Sweetie.... She was hanging in there, but lately she hasn't wanted to eat much of anything. She is on 10mg of prednisilone daily as well as an entire 16mg pill of Cerenia. I know that dose is high, but it is the only thing that is preventing her from vomiting daily. If I even cut...

My kitty, Sweetie, has either IBD or cancer :( The problem is that I haven't been able to get her vomiting under control unless she is on Cerenia and even then a full tablet has to be given daily. She started out on 2.5mg of prednisolone for a week ( did nothing ) , then upped her dose to 5mg...

Buddy sounds like he's in good shape overall! I'm taking what you said as a good sign. Maybe it is just IBD! I hope so!! Unfortunately, things aren't looking as good for Sweetie :( Yesterday she threw up blood with blood clots mixed in. She is now on Sucralfate. Sucralfate coats the...

@Cara80 , how are things going with your kitty? Sweetie has been doing better since I upped her steroids to 5mg a day. Luckily, I haven't had to give her a food stimulant either! She will at least eat one small can a day, sometimes about 2. Her poop is softer now with the Mirilax as well...

Unfortunately, my kitty is still not doing so great :( We upped her steroid dose to 5mg 1x a day. Maybe it will start to kick in? I don't know :( Wonder how high we can go...what if it's just not the right dosage? Also, I wonder about starting Luekaran? Where does that fit in? Is the...

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner! It's been a busy weekend. Unfortunately, Sweetie's appetite hasn't improved on her own and even with the Entyce she is eating less :( Entyce definitely has a certain amount of time where the hunger kicks in, but it doesn't seem to build up with daily...

It is a lot to deal with, for sure! I just started the prednisolone today. I asked for it in pill form because Sweetie gets way too stressed when anything is squirted into her mouth, and besides that she is a pro at turning her head so as part of the liquid usually escapes onto me!!! Is your...

Cara80, thank you for the update! Yes, I have decided to treat with steroids. With everything that is going on with her, I really don't have too much time to waste. We are seeing the vet tomorrow to begin treatment. She seemed a bit better yesterday afternoon until she threw up :( I thought...

Cara80, sorry to hear about your situation. It is so very frustrating and sad! I think I will go ahead as well with the steroids. It does seem like an awful lot to put such a senior kitty through. My main goal is to have her feeling good again, if only for a short time. :( The doctor...

I would really appreciate any help!!! My poor almost 18 year old kitty has a myriad of issues. She has CKD as well as hyperthyroidism. Her thyroid has been difficult to get control of, started using the gel in ears for a year or more, and then switched to pills...apparently she has trouble...

My dear cat Boots is in crisis at the moment, and it's been touch and go. His numbers have improved with fluids but he is still miserable. We think it could be because of his feline herpes. His head has also started to drop which she thinks is due to low potassium. If it's not one thing ...
