Kitten Chow is okay if you're feeding barn cats and half of it might be eaten by raccoons and the mother is supplementing the diet with hunted prey.

Hairball diets have extra fibre which is supposed to help pull the fur through the cat's system and out the other end, the way its supposed to go. The one exception to this, and this was many years ago now, was, I believe, Nutrience, which contained a component of pineapple which was supposed to...

If you really have to, then you really have to, but if you can get something else. Nutro is good food but not expensive..??

Don't put your cat on only dry food. It is determental to his health and will likely shorten his life. The baby will get used to whatever situation it is put into as long as no fuss is made.

Spread Merlin and Quinn's food out over a large plate, cookie-sheet or slow-feeder. Feed Zena up on something, like a counter or table.

It was night and day seing the holistic veterinarian with Montgomery. The changes he recommended have made dramatic improvements to Montgomery's overall health and well-being.

Its going to be very well-cooked. Montgomery is not to have anything raw. His small intestine has enough issues with holding onto bacteria as it is and I've been well-warned to stay away from raw food with him. I understand that cats in the wild eat a wide variety of prey, but he is not a cat...

Okay, got the Alnutrin, have the freeze-dried liver. He has his own pot, spoon and grater. One pound of extra lean ground chicken is in the refrigerator for tomorrow evening.

The only thing that's wrong with Fancy Feast pates right now is that some recipes can be difficult to get. Otherwise, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Get a TLI test if you haven't done that yet.

Ice cubes in the water dish have encouraged my cats to drink well, as well as a fountain and a chill bowl, which is a huge stainless steel dish with a core that we freeze. You can also add warm water to their wet meals, and some cats will even eat their dry food with water added to it. My cats...

I don't know. I've never heard of Baycox before, and I'm in Canada, too. Fostering, I've dealt with a lot of coccidia and while it can be pretty gross, its never really been an issue to treat unless the kitten was very tiny.

Try using Heinz strained chicken to mask the taste of the medicine. Our veterinarian has typically used metronidazole to treat coccidia in kittens, but now there is conflicting research because it is apparently self-limiting. We used tylan on a particularly ill kitten a couple of years ago to...

Mary has ditched her collar a few times over the years. She's happy its gone, for sure.

I did, when I returned the food. I think she just gave up at that point. I just ordered Alnutrin and am going to make is food and see if that works better, since I can control the ingredients. Also, I hopefully won't face the ongoing supply chain issues. I can comply with the naturopath, but...
