    Extreme redirected agression towards me. Help!

    Yeah, she's ok now. Just a little loopy but interested in what I'm doing and friendly. I know I screwed things up the first time...I was so taken by surprise. But this time I think my going out where she couldn't see me for a while helped break the stalking/hostage cycle early on. I tried to...

    Extreme redirected agression towards me. Help!

    When it first happened, i called the vets office once I could get to my phone and they suggested feliway but this feels like gettin' the big guns type of situation. I read somewhere a cat had to take prozac for a while to desensitize with some behavioral 'therapy'. Long ago, my dog with kennel...

    Extreme redirected agression towards me. Help!

    My cat Pixie, a spayed 6 year old I've rescued when she was 4 weeks old, has never done this up until three weeks ago when one day I noticed she was agitated while looking outside. I noticed a cat on my balcony that I hadn't seen in two years, Oreo, so I put my cat in the bathroom so I could...

    Lack Of Vitality A Week After Full Dental Extraction

    Oh my....I didn't know I had replies! The vet who did the surgery suggested not giving him the morphine last night, and he did seem more alert. All in all, he ate well yesterday, with me bringing him food to bed a couple times. This morning, I gave his cyproheptadine around 9, but he still...

    Lack Of Vitality A Week After Full Dental Extraction

    He had been on doxycycline a week prior to the surgery and he seemed fine. He had buprenorphine for two days after surgery, and didn't do better the 4 days after before he was put on it again so I'm confused. I don't really have a reason to think he might have renal issues other than the look on...

    Lack Of Vitality A Week After Full Dental Extraction

    My cat is almost 7 years old, FIV +, weighs 13lb, and had a bad case of stomatitis. He's eating Natural Balance limited ingredients venison due to allergies to poultry and fish. A week ago yesterday, he had all his teeth pulled out. The pre-op exam and blood test looked fine, surgery went well...

    I let feral Minou inside. Need cat language translation!

    Minou update! We are all doing well. Both him and Pixie have been living freely in the house for 3 months now. No more doors. Pixie often meows softly and hisses at him and slaps him when he comes back in from outside (bully), but ever the good cat he is, he just sits there and waits for her to...

    I let feral Minou inside. Need cat language translation!

    Hi ! Minou is doing well. He is a bit nutty and very vocal today and yesterday, probably cause i left them for 24 hours to go to my sister's for Xmas. It seems to have affected him most. He was dandruffy and very affectionate when i came home. He is currently playing whack a paw with Pixie under...

    I let feral Minou inside. Need cat language translation!

    Thank you, at to all that agree with youb :) I am a spinster, so i have lots of free time to fuss about cats :D Today was not as good, as i ended up on Minou's side of the screen door, and Pixie would not take the treats i gave her through the holes, and she kept hissing at him and even growled...

    Anyone have experience with Hill's Z\d hydrolyzed protein?

    Minou was on Z/d for just a few days, and after having to take him to the vet to get subcutaneous fluids cause the poopin had gotten worse, the vet suggested tuna and rice for 3 months. That got old quick for him and his stool smelled 10x worse than the usual foul smell, so i put him on turkey...

    Hello, people who read this. I have just introduced Minou and Pixie.

    My vet suggested rice and tuna for 3 months. So many questions...

    Wow, that's one massive post! I do not wish to feed raw or homemade. Not that i don't believe in the benefits, but because i feel it would take away some of my freedom to be able to leave them alone at home for more than 12 hours. It doesn't happen often, but it happens. I'm game at doing...

    Nope, puree. I already pureed a whole turkey for him and put portions in the freezer.  Ungrateful little beast he is!

    Thanks again for the links. I already had the first one in my bookmarks. It was suggested i buy certain brands on Amazon, and i'm sure they are good products. But i wanted something NOW for Minou, and did not seem to find what i needed at both the health stores near-ish my place. I was not in...
