    Major arthritis in my elderly cat. Any advice would be welcome.

    Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm assuming that he's still in pain just because he tried to get up about 30 mins ago and was still very crouched at the back and wobbly/slow when trying to walk. I put him in his tray and he managed to do a poo which was good and I've been taking bowls of sandwich...

    Major arthritis in my elderly cat. Any advice would be welcome.

    Thank you, he has steps already up to his radiator bed which is where he's spending 99% of his time at the moment. I've been taking bowls of chicken and tuna sandwich paste to him in his bed so he doesn't have to move and I have his lower half covered with a blanket. He's just sitting there all...

    Major arthritis in my elderly cat. Any advice would be welcome.

    Hello, my Siamese is nearly 15 years old and has arthritis in his lower spine and back legs. He'd been stiff for a while and unable to jump on things anymore so he started a course of Loxicom (daily) which initially seemed to help but in the last week, he's been wobbly and finding it harder to...

    In desperate need of an IBD diet.

    Thank you everyone who replied, I'm currently reading through the linked items. I appreciate it. Thank you, I’ve ordered the S Boulardii tablets. Do you know how much of one capsule I should give him per day? As I assume the instructions of 2 are for humans and not cats.

    In desperate need of an IBD diet.

    Hi, I live in the UK. My elderly Siamese cat (he's 14 and a half) has been vaguely diagnosed with IBD, I say vaguely because after £4,000 worth of tests and having him be overnight at the pet hospital for 3 nights, they still couldn't give me a definite answer. They told me that his comstant...

    Bum Scooting

    He did have his glands drained at the vet but she said there wasn't much there, I'm not sure how much grass he eats but he's not outside for very long so I can't imagine that it's much.

    Bum Scooting

    Hello, I had my 4 year old Siamese cat die suddenly last year from stage 4 cancer and the only symptoms up until the week of his death were very hard stools and bum scooting across the floor. I now have another Siamese cat aged 1 who is also scooting and I'm worried. The vet insists that my 4...

    Weeping Eye

    One of mine had very weepy and gooey eyes, the vet recommended eye drops (literally the ones designed for humans) twice a day and it pretty much instantly stopped the problem!

    Constant Diarrhoea From Both Of My Cats

    I thought I'd bump this with an update. So, the hypoallergenic for didn't work, they were on it for 6 weeks with no change. I put them both back on normal food but cut 'gravy' food out of their diet so they're only on jelly now and Vinny's (the kitten) stools have gone back to normal! Frankie's...

    Very Soft Poo

    That's great news! Weirdly enough, we're having better poo here too.... I've taken both of mine off gravy food and have switched totally to jelly as I read somewhere that gravy food can be too rich for some cats and in the last week or so, despite a couple of slightly softer poo's, what I've...

    Very Soft Poo

    My 2 cats are having the same issue, one of them is 6 months old and the other is 12 and it's been going on for a few months now. I've had fecal analysis that came back negative, one has been tested for tritrichomonas foetus and also giardia too and nothing! I even had them ultrasound scanned...

    Constant Diarrhoea From Both Of My Cats

    Edit: Neither of them are behaving weird, ill or even lethargic; they're both as perky as always.

    Constant Diarrhoea From Both Of My Cats

    I have 2 Siamese cats, one is 5 months old and the other is 12 and they have both had pretty much constant running diarrhoea for at least a month and a half now. The younger one has had it for longer, possibly since we got him at 3 months old and the older one has developed it more recently. I...

    Aha yes, his ears have always been so cute! This is a picture of him from when he was about 2 months old before his ears popped up, he looked like a Gremlin for ages!
