that's amazing! so happy to hear this story :) sounds like your Mousse is a true fighter

We always see the same vet, though there are 4 in the practice where we go. The 4th just started recently, and we did see her a few times. If our regular vet isn't there, we will book with the new one, because she used to work in the ER at the emergency vet office that we have gone to. The...

Hi Mcqueen. I don't post or even login often, but I saw your thread and wanted to give our experience. It's kind of long, so I apologize. My beloved Biscuit who will be 11 in December, has had very few issues until she started having random petit mal seizures (2-3 a year) starting a couple of...

Thanks for the responses @mrsgreenjeens & @Kflowers I have not tried Krill Oil. I havent tried anything other than the Dausaquin, because that's what the vet gave us and I was trusting her judgement. The high fiber diet wasn't our idea, that vet put them on it but I suppose we'll switch them...

I found out a few months back that my boy has arthritis that has caused significant muscle wasting in his back legs. I could tell he'd been in pain for a while but I was trying not to overreact because we'd just gone through a whole ordeal with our other cat and her seizures and...

@Antonio65 I am so sorry to hear that your baby passed a year after the treatment. I hope it was a happy year filled with mostly good days and beautiful memories :hearthrob: Biscuit's ALTs have been all over the place with no explanation until the T4 test, and the specialist said it is not...

Update: Took her to the specialist yesterday for evaluation and I-131 treatment. I asked them to run another blood test and they said her T4 was now 8.0 (up from 6.9 just two Saturdays ago). They also did a new echo. The one she had done 6 weeks ago was completely normal but I told them I...

thanks for that link @Jem ! I've only skimmed through this, but... it looks like Fancy Feast Naturals actually has some of the highest protein % with no carbs, lower calories than I'd expect from them. Phosphorous seems kind of high which I dont think is good, but for just once a day... that...

My male cat is the same way. He didn't always necessarily try to be aggressive but I think he always took it too far. We put him on Prozac a couple of years ago and it has helped him a lot. He was FEARLESS has a little kitten but over the years he got really bad anxiety and he is scared of...

Definitely agree with making your own scratcher out of carpet. My dad made a tree type one when we were kids for our cats and it worked well (it was a different type of carpet than what was in the house though so I guess as to try to deter them from using all carpet the same). Also, maybe...

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good high protein wet food? Since she is still overweight I don't want her to necessarily GAIN weight, but I want to make sure she isn't losing muscle. She seems like she is getting smaller yet staying the same size all at the same time. And since her liver...

I definitely second this I got my second one when he was actually only maybe 3-4 weeks old, someone in my building found him in the woods all alone when walking his dog. He was so tiny that had to be bottle fed and no one would take him. By the time a rescue would take him, I had fallen in...

The soft poops could be because of a change in the food if he was eating something different at the shelter than you are feeding at home. If that's the case, it should resolve soon. I imagine he is needy because you have shown him love and given him a home and he is reciprocating that love to...

It's not so much that I HATE kids. I just don't want any....and I generally prefer they not be around especially if they are crying or whining. I like kids who are basically small adults. And I don't get it. I don't really think all babies are cute. I don't get "baby smell" or "puppy...

I am so glad he is able to see again!! Not that it matters, but I would guess that his retinas probably did not detach, and just that the pressure in his eyes was just so extreme that it caused temporary blindness, which can happen with hypertension and glaucoma. At least with humans, in cases...
