Hi F Owner and thanks. Her phosphorus is 4.9 on a scale of 2.6 - 6.0 mg/dl. I will check both wet and dry labels for phosphorus. I see I have some reading to do.

10 y/o Kyra got her bloodwork few days ago. Liver enzymes normal. Kidney enzymes were high BUN55 (up from 37, 6 months ago)....Creatinine 2.0 (up from 1.7). Vet recommends dry food with about 15% protein. Can't find on my online search. Current dry is Ziwi Peak lamb.....38% protein. This...

Thanks....we will gnaw on your advice for awhile .....and no collar for Kyra.

Kyra is about 8 y/o a stray that adopted us 6 years ago and is now an indoor cat. In August/September she was scratching neck and shoulder areas quite a bit 10-20 times/day for just a few seconds each time. She is a Norwegian Forest Cat, probably.... and has thick fur. Went to vet in early...

Offer of $4200 was tendered. Cat thought about it for a moment and said "OK". Case closed......

Heard back from SIL........They offered $2500. Cat said "no deal"....so counter offer of $4200 was sent back.

Heard back. They sent in vet bills for close to $ 5,000. Denied so now there are lawyers involved.

Heard back from up north.......pea is a dried split pea. Hard. SIL took a video with sound and showed it bouncing off counter top..... and sent it off to mfr. They wrote back to file a complaint.

Hi Fur...... She and hubs took video of hard pea and sent to to mfr. They wrote back promptly...... indicating they are looking into it. Don't think it was on the floor. I'll get back with more info as it become available to me. She did see peas in this variety previously and picked them...

Hi, all has been well with the cat who adopted us about 5-6 years ago. My stepdaughter 300 miles away has been feeding her 12 y/o female....Instinct, as per the title of this thread. 5 days ago...lots of throwing up and visits to the vet....to no avail. Yesterday after x-rays and...

Hi Feeby.......asked our vet about this and he replied "Elevated cholesterol has no significance in cats so don't worry and glucose elevation of 160 is just stress so nothing to change in the diet or lifestyle." Vet is old timer and respected around town....so this will do for now. Thank you...

5 y/o female had first teeth cleaning yesterday. All was well. Vet did a CBC beforehand. Values seem to be OK...except glucose (160) and cholesterol (377) which were high. Have not yet discussed with Vet but....any comments on these two values ? Thought there could be a way to relate Kyra's...

Update a year later.....Kyra has a favorite barrel chair in the living room that she uses.  Also likes to lounge under a LR table.  She has been very good about not clawing anything in the LR or elsewhere.  DW laid out a sheet at the entrance to the LR and Kyra spends a lot of time on that. ...

OK, we are back from the vet.  Abrasion of eye from running into something was the diagnosis.  Not a scratch or anything serious.  Eye drops for a week, 3x a day (Tobramycin).  Vet used green dye and fluorescent light to look.  Dew claw scratch pretty much ruled out.  URI symptoms are both eyes...

Not a DE-claw....just a single DEW-claw.  (If it ever comes to that.)   I have not had much experience with cats and really don't know if the eye boo-boo was from a dew claw or .................?? Not yet discussed with vet.
