    stomatitis syrup from dallas texas

    With all due respect, this vet who refused is wonderful and wants to help and I am not even defending him since I don't use him for that cat's care.  But he is not someone who as you imply is not interested in helping!!   I would say that this is a very unfair characterization.  He has what he...

    stomatitis syrup from dallas texas

    Since this is a "secret" syrup, and our vet must sign the do not disclose, what are the legal ramifications for use of this "recipe" on a cat. Say the cat has problems.  Who is considered liable? I ask because my local vet refuses to use it due to the grey areas. Thanks.

    Hesitant to use topical flea chemicals for cats, becoming conservative on this

    I will be arrogant LOL and say that I have the "best" solution and method which is as follows:  We feed a 100% raw ground diet based on Lisa Pierson DVM catinfo.org and we just mix in a great deal of water to each cat's serving when it is time for them to eat this hamburger- like, nutritionally...

    I feel sad reading at how people feed dry food instead of canned, or better yet, raw.  They say my cat is fine - and then, oops!  At age 13, 14, 15, the cat develops kidney disease (irreversible), diabetes or urinary tract disease, IBD and they wonder why.  There is so much rationalizing and...

    I worry about any medication that a cat has to be on for the rest of their lives.  Wonder what the potential side effects are.

    What does "dental" mean ?  Are you saying your cat had dental cleaning? Or something else.   Thanks.
