    Metacam and possible blockage

    Spencer ended up having emergency surgery on Monday, our vet didn't think he would live if she didn't She was looking for a blockage, but found severe pancreatitis and sepsis. She put him on three different types of antibiotics, and Gabapentin. Brought him home Wednesday, he was eating good...

    Metacam and possible blockage

    Took Spencer to ER late last night. After 3 hours of waiting the vet there disagreed with my vet about the blood tests. She felt it was leaning towards bone marrow cancer, but wanted to keep him and do extensive tests for a couple of days, totaling almost four thousand dollars. He was so...

    Metacam and possible blockage

    Spencer was given Metacam awhile ago because he has bad arthritis from walking bad because he only has three legs. The ER is about an hour and a half away, which I can do but wish my vet would at least take calls about questions. Spencer is acting so listless and hiding, so I'm guessing hes in...

    Metacam and possible blockage

    Our cat hasn't eaten in four days, I took him to the vet yesterday and he had extensive bloodwork. Some of his counts were low, but the vet didn't seem to concerned, and one was really low and the vet couldn't figure out why. He prescribed Clindamycin and Metacam, and said if he hasn't eaten...

    maggie101, Its almost $60 from Amazon, and I hate to get stuck with it if he refuses to eat it, but will probably have to order a case.

    Is This Food Good For A Cat With Ibd

    So If I was to buy frozen hamburgers, nothing added, I could just thaw one out, break it in very tiny pieces, and let Harley eat it, raw? Also, where do you buy Rawz cat food from, I looked up on Chewy and the don't have it, and PetSmart also doesn't have it? I could order a case from Amazon...

    Is This Food Good For A Cat With Ibd

    Maybe I will skip the vets brand, and just do the Rawz, I hate to keep switching. If Harley is anything like my other cat I had with IBD, he will try everything once or twice, and then quit eating it. The only thing he would eat was boiled chicken, which wasn't good, but at least he ate it. I...

    Is This Food Good For A Cat With Ibd

    Daftcat75, your post about making meat stock makes sense, it is doable but will take awhile, so I gave my husband that job. Harley is his cat. Is Rawz food what it sounds like, raw meat? Harley has no teeth, so if it is I don't think he could swallow raw meat. He definitely is not liking the...

    Is This Food Good For A Cat With Ibd

    What does the ultrasound do, show problems with the intestines? This vet and another one we had for another cat never recommended an ultrasound, but it definitely sounds like a good idea to me. The steroids will probably be the next thing the vet will try, although I hate to start them. I'm...

    Is This Food Good For A Cat With Ibd

    Harley occasionally throws up, but mostly hair balls. His major problem is diarrhea, and he has lost about two pounds. Hes been on Natural Balance canned for about two years, doesn't particularly like it, but will eat it. Now, hes not eating much of it at all. I'm wondering if he had food...

    Is This Food Good For A Cat With Ibd

    hasn't recommended a food to try yet because he hasn't officially diagnosed him with IBD, but I'm pretty sure it is.

    Is This Food Good For A Cat With Ibd

    Harley has had all the symptoms of IBD for awhile, and is now on his second type of antibiotics to see if it will help. He was on Albon and probiotics for a week, which didn't help, and is now taking Metronidazole, which also doesn't seem to be helping. We had another cat that had IBD really...

    Dasuquin Joint Supplement

    We tried one brand, and he wouldn't eat the food we put it on. Our vet recommended DVM Feline joint gel, no chicken in it. He was eating it mixed in with his food, now he refuses. Cats definitely don't make things easy for their owners

    Accommodating A 3-legged Cat

    kittyluv, the bulk sounds like it would be safer because there is less flavoring, etc. added like there is in the pills. I'm going to give it a try, and if bad boy decides not to eat his food when I mix it in it, I can always use it for myself. Thank you
