Wow this is amazing!! Great idea to track weight loss for Leo

Wow thanks for showing the photos. gives me hope. Yes I did enlist my vet's help. He said "cut his food portion in half". Not very helpful. But I also had an online appointment with another vet and they said they will give me a more accurate calorie intake info for Leo's weight loss. We have...

Hi there, I know this is a decade old post but do you have any more updates about Mickey? My cat Leo is very big himself and I am concerned. I want to see some progress in his weight loss. I've been strict but he has not shed the pounds yet.

How is she doing now? The "funny" walk you mention, it's quite similar to something my cat Lily did, weeks before she passed away from an underlying heart issue. I don't want to scare you, but I think the vet should perhaps run tests. Let us know how she is.

Bird, I'm sorry I lost this thread for a while. I couldn't bring myself to think about Lily's passing away for the longest time and recently started thinking about her again. How did Mojo's treatment turn out? I'm hoping to hear all is well with her, even though I'm responding 2 years later. I'm...

Bird, thank you so much for sharing your story. It is almost identical to what we went through with Lily except yours had a much happier ending. I am so happy that your Mojo was able to recover in whatever way possible. Now I really wish I had pushed for treatment. And this is exactly what I...

yes the steroid shot cleared it up with a day or two I believe. the sore on your cats mouth looks exactly the same as it did on my lily

Thank you so much for sharing your story. This really helped. I have spoken to a colleague and they had also lost a 4 year young cat to thrombus. I keep having flashbacks of her last months and weeks and wonder to myself what kind of oversight may have caused this pain. She was cuddlier than...

Thank you friend. I was able to see my Lily when it was time for her to go, they let me in for that part. She was in clear distress despite being given pain meds. Yes you are right, I should put it down in writing and ask the ER vet for more information. I was given an option to do an autopsy...

I woke up as usual on Feb 2nd, got ready, and went downstairs to say hi to my cats. They were both in the kitchen looking out the backyard door, a very typical scene in the morning. Lily greeted me with her sweet meows and let me pet her and I left. Later in the afternoon I get a call from...

Hi Jen thanks for the advice. Yes my cats are on mainly wet food. They get Wellness chicken or salmon 3x a day and the dry food is there for snacking. They are given water bowls and a water fountain to drink from. My cat has not show any signs of pain or discomfort. I am all about precaution...

Hi Margaret, My cats get wet food 3x a day and they have large water bowls and water fountain at their disposal. I do see her drink water usually. Can someone tell me how a cat will act if in pain? She is not acting any different so I am a bit confused. I have wasted a lot of money before...

Hi can you please let me know if you have an update about your cat from the vet? My 2 year olf female cat is doing the same. I have noticed she pees very little and frequently but not throughout the day, only at night. She does not seem to show other symptoms of illness. She seems to have...

UPDATE - for anyone who experiences this in the future - my cat bump was diagnosed as an "indolent ulcer". most likely from an environmental allergy. it could be a food allergy but the vet thought its unlikely for a 10 month old cat as food allergy tends to develop over time (and I do feed her...

Hi, what kind of treatment was Mr. Kitty given? My cat's tiny bump went away, and then it returned on the same side but upper part of the mouth after a particularly stressful weekend for her when some people stayed over. Taking her to the vet in 2 days
