Litter definitely can irritate cats and humans lungs!! If she likes clay, I highly recommend Dr. Elsey's Kitten Attract. It isn't just for kittens, I think they should change the name. It is unscented and has the least amount of dust in a clay litter of all that I've tried, and I've tried...
Dry food is loaded with carbs. Can you get him off dry food completely and I'm a grain and carageenen free or raw diet? I've read of cats reversing diabetes when fed a raw diet.
My heart aches for you. :( I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It's never easy losing a furbaby. It sounds like you are giving her good care and love. She's very fortunate to have such a caring mom to love and take care of her. I wish there was something that I could say or do to make it...
Me either. In my opinion, Wellness is a middle of the line food. They had a recall a little over seven years ago if I remember correctly. I'm thinking they didn't have enough thiamine in some of their food. It was around the right they were sold to Wellpet. I stopped feeding the food. I'm...
@dorimon I forgot to add that there are some Wellness products that are carageenen free slowly making it into the market. They have a new Core canned food that has gravy that is carageenen free. They have it available on Chewy.com now. I tried it. My cats like it ok but it is long slices of...
The manager of my local pet store told me first. She says their Wellness rep told them to tell their Crazy Cat Lady, meaning me, that they are taking it out. She said they are changing the labels and everything. She said they will slowly be rolling it out over the next few months. I then...
Congrats on getting the refund! Hopefully your experience will prevent others from ever having to go through anything similar with that awful vet practice.
I just wanted to explain some things about raw, in case you aren't aware. Some brands of raw are treated with a process called HPP, high...
Thanks. I'll try mixing them like you suggested. I did put some of the chub in the freezer. I'll get some of the carageenen free Wellness when it becomes available and try mixing that too. Thanks!
After reading this, I wanted to tell you about a situation I had with one of my cats. She was diagnosed with colitis. She had bloody diahrea. I tried several rounds of antibiotics, which they did nothing to help. I have a great vet, but I decided to take matters into my own hands. My cat was...
I'm so sorry. My dear Kitty had mammary cancer that eventually came back to her lungs. I know the anguish you are going through.
We didn't have the option for any meds. We were given the option of a lung tap. I agreed, but in hindsight I wish I wouldn't have done it. She slept for three days...
Definitely take her to the vet.
What are you feeding her? Is the canned food that you got her grain and carageenen free? Both can cause digestive upset. Did you switch foods slowly? If not, that can contribute to it too.
Don't punish her if she get sick. That will just stress her out and more...
I'm sorry but I haven't followed his whole story and read all of the pages.
I have fed my cats Nature's Variety for years and haven't experienced issues as a result of the clay. You said in your one post that he'll only eat the Instinct. Have you tried adding water or pumpkin to it? Have you...
There could be quite a few possibilities. It would be good to have a visit to the vet since it could be so many different things.
What type of cat litter are you using? If it is dusty, that could be contributing to it. If you are using corn litter, cats can have reactions to that too. Do you use...
