Thanks so much for the information, I'll discuss that with my vet. Not sure why they didn't know that or specify

Coincidentally after I posted my comment, my vet contacted me to tell me grain free diets is linked to cardio myopathy in dogs and they are also concerned about cats per the FDA. They recommended I do not buy grain free food for my cat so that problem is solved. Sounds like hill's science diet...

This thread is over a year old, but hoping someone can answer. I'm feeling like Core Wellness is the best food for my cat however somehow this marketing has managed to lay a guilt trip on all who feed their cat something else; hence you must pay about $2 for a 3oz can (or more) to be a good...

*Probably not too healthy to dwell on this too much. I try to think about my pets life and avoid the negative.

Wow, again I felt the same; I was so beside myself with grief I couldn't think straight about aftercare. Had I still lived on Catalina we have a pet cemetery there; here in Phoenix didn't notice a pet cemetery and the only options the vet hospital mentioned were cremation OR cremation and...

Did you see what abby2932 wrote? When people have to put their pets to sleep, they fall into one of the two camps of guilt: - They made the decision too soon & have regrets for not doing more or trying harder - They made the decision too late & regret that they made their pets suffer in their...

That's amazing, we have a few things in common. I also have another cat, he is 18 and has never had a personality though we still love him. He sleeps in his hiding spot 24/7, had him since shortly after birth but the complete opposite of our character Seth. He always preferred to be fed and...

Thank you for your words; all so relatable. It helps to know others had the same second thoughts.

Those words, it has gone quiet are so heartbreaking. Mine never left my side, in fact I had to put a chair at my desk so Seth could sit on it. I had said there is now an empty chair in every room.

I am so sorry for your loss; I am still in pain over losing Seth, I know how inconsolable it can be when losing a pet that we know depends on us to take care of them. Try not to do what I have been doing by dwelling on what I could have done different. There are no words to make it better but...

I took Seth in when his personality changed, had some vomiting and he lost interest in his favorite foods. His lymphocytes were 38,000 indicating a huge infection somewhere. He was also febrile. They gave him an antibiotic shot but a few days later was told the pathologist said his blood work...

Rest in Peace Seth, Oct 4, 2004 - July 10, 2018

Thanks, but in the end, nothing seemed to work. They ended up putting him to sleep because he stopped eating and drinking. He just didn't seem that frail or ready to go yet, guess I'll live with that decision for a long time. I took him in to the vet, they gave him a steroid injection they said...
