    Hydrolyzed protein cat treat alternative to Royal Canin and Hill's

    Finnegan is 13 1/2 and has been on Royal Canin Ultamino cat food for the last three years. He gets pancreatitis and it seems like hydrolyzed protein is the only thing that keeps him healthy. Royal Canin's Hydrolyzed Protein Feline treats and Hill's Hypo treats have been out of stock for almost a...

    Cat cone/overgrooming

    This cone worked really well for us. Our cat doesn't like it, but he will use the litterbox, eat, etc. When he sleeps it's like a pillow. We've had a suitical too and it paralyzed him. :)

    IBD and Pancreatitis Foods

    The only food that has worked with my IBD kitty who gets pancreatitis yearly has been Royal Canin Ultamino. I was very anti-dry food his whole life but this has worked well the last 3 or four years.

    Stairs after surgical livery biopsy

    Our little boy had a full surgical livery biopsy and is back home today. The vet said that he should be fine going up and down our stairs, but when I had my female cat spayed I was told she should avoid them. My gut says we need to block the stairs. Thoughts?

    Went to the vet today for our 6 month senior visit.............................I'm a wreck.

    Any time that something happens to our boys I do the same thing--just sit and watch them. Stay in the same room just to be with them. Etc etc. If it's lymphoma I learned a lot from the Feline Lymphoma Support Group and Feline Lymphoma Worldwide Facebook groups. Thinking of you--I know how...

    The mystery of my 12 year old female with chronic vomiting and hairballs who now has pancreatitis

    Our 12 year old kitty gets pancreatitis at least once a year for the last four years. Thankfully now we recognize the signs so he isn’t critical by the time we take him to the vet. We feed him Royal Canin Ultamino, and it’s been the best for him. It has hydrolized protein. This latest...

    Pet insurance

    I have Embrace for 12 years and they have been amazing. We have two cats with IBD, and one of them was just diagnosed with small to intermediate cell lymphoma in his liver. We have spent $5k on them in the last 10 days (two hospitalizations and a biopsy) and it was 90% covered. There was never a...

    New self cleaning litter box with app feature

    Unfortunately it doesn't do that through the app. Usually when mine gets stuck, it's because it came off balance and I have to shake a little and it works again. I have done the circuit board replacement on our LRII and it was really easy if you still decide to do it.

    New self cleaning litter box with app feature

    We have the wifi one and I love it. I like knowing when it's stuck right away or full so I can fix it. Our LR2 had a nice, long life of over 10 years so I'm looking forward to this one lasting just as long.

    High Calcium Levels

    We're in the same situation. The ionized calcium came back high. The x-ray came back with something unidentified in his stomach (he fasted, but I guess he was still digesting?) and poop in his intestines that looked hard. We were afraid he was constipated, so we gave him pumpkin and he was...

    High Calcium Levels

    We are in the same situation—took cats in for their routine blood work and Thorin (11y/o male) has calcium at 11.8. Our vet says that 10.8 is normal. One of his anal glands might be impacted, but the vet is concerned it is a tumor. They are doing the same ionized calcium test on Saturday along...

    Friend of Ferals Award Badge - Apply Here

    My neighborhood has a ton of feral cats. The first one we started feeding was Heathclif. He was afraid of me at first but I slowly worked up to petting him. It took 3 years for us to catch him to get neutered! Now we have my neighbor’s cat who had kittens 8 weeks ago and is pregnant again. The...
