That's the one thing I was afraid of, salt isn't high on the ingredient list, but it's definitely there. Thanks everyone, I'll put some thought into it all. He eats the one can that the vet allows him, with no problem. He's 17 lbs and I've been told he needs to lose at least 2 maybe 3 ... So...

This may be a dumb question... but what are the pluses and minuses of feeding your can canned chicken? You know the stuff, comes from the supermarket right next to the canned tuna. Very few ingredients, decent quality meat (at least it tastes good to me) and low carbs / low calories. On the...

I know this is a little older... but I buy it by the gallon and take close to 14 days to use it all. Tastes great, never changes a bit Also... is it really Monday already? Clearly I need the LARGER coffee mug today! Morning all ☕☕

Ice Coffee! That's what I need! Thanks for the reminder :) Stay cool!

Thanks for these, I just finished reading... I had been told a lot of this and it really amounts to a very scary "We have no idea what causes enough stress to cause a urinary blockage". I was told having new cats in the house could cause it, and being alone in the house could cause it. I was...

Totally seconding a couple things from here... I live in a small place with one cat, and thought I could get away with one litter box... don't try it. Get a second one and watch them, you're probably going to have to move them around. If your little one is peeing outside the box and it's in a...

I've thought about boarding, that's not a bad option. But Milo is new to me, only a couple months, so I don't have a regular vet that knows him. In fact because of the nature of what's been happening, the people that have seen him the most are the ER vets, and that's not an option... I suppose...

I had one vet say the same thing, that in 30 years she had never heard of stress causing that... it's all really confusing. Thanks for the advice, he's met them a couple times, but I was thinking a few visits in the nest couple weeks could be arranged :)

Thanks, anything to look at helps! I was actually thinking this through and I may be able to get my family to come part of the time, so I can mix it up a little, get him more interaction, and have them double-check the house for me at the same time.

This may not be the right forum, I'm not sure, so please forgive me if it's not... I've recently been through a lot with my cat, he went through a urinary blockage that was very stressful for both of us, lots of late night trips and watching & waiting... and no answers. The vets have no idea...

I've had to give my cat meds for the past 3 weeks or so, and I can tell as someone else that's new to this, it's no fun. He started out with pills, and as he got feeling better, the pills got harder and harder. I had asked the vet and they recommended a local compound-pharmacy that can make the...

Something to think about, because you mentioned he may not be drinking enough... I've been through a bit over the last few weeks and trying to get Milo to drink more. From what I'm told, if they are eating a primarily canned-food diet, they are getting a lot of water already. You can (and I do)...

I feel for ya! I get them too, fortunately not very often. For me it's ibuprofen, heat pack, glass of water, back to bed... usually I can face the world again in an hour or so. Hope you're feeling better!

I had a friend who would say "I drink coffee stronger than your feelings, so be careful" ... now I strive for that ;) Good morning y'all :)

Or "stress related urinary blockage" ... which you DO NOT want. :(
