Ok, I should have done that before posting, I checked my preferences and saw that all push notifications had been disabled. I didn't do that, and as a matter of fact I used to receive them until a few days ago. So, somehow the system randomly turns this option off. Thanks, and apologies for my...

In the last few days I noticed that I am not receiving any push notifications for threads that I follow or that I started. So it happens that I miss the replies, unless I check the website and see the red label top right. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Thank everyone for your replies. Ok, I have understood that cleaning under the gum line is important and this can't be done with a simple touch of a finger. As a matter of fact, the dentist acknowledged that there was some tartar, and that a cleaning would be necessary in the future, but she...

Ok, I understand that, I know that some cats do not cope well with handling, being poked and manipulated, so I understand that many cat owners would find it hard or ever dangerous to undergo certain procedures at home. In my case, I'm talking about cats which allow me to do just anything to...

Did anybody of you go down this road for basic cleaning of you cats' teeth? My cat Freya had a good amount of tartar and placque on her teeth. I took an appointment with the dentist and see if she needed a dental cleaning. The dentist looked in her mouth, saw the tartar on her teeth, mainly the...

Are your other cats fully vaxed and up-to-date with the boosters? If so, the risk for your other cats of catching the same disease should be minimal. As far as I know, once a cat has a viral infection, it will be a carrier of the virus regardless of the symptoms and the vaccines done afterwards.

Did your vet told you what the cause behind this stomatitis may be? Could it be his teeth? Or an underlying condition, like a calicivirus? I have a yard cat who went through this, the poor girl had to be seen by the vets for nearly 10 months, with regular shots of antibiotics and steroids...

No more progress since last week. I think we have reached the best result we could achieve. I believe it's pointless to keep chasing more weight loss On the other hand, Freya, who is following the same diet, is increasing her weight, though she didn't eat at all yesterday.

Apparently this time it happened without any external triggering factor. She was acting as usual in the previous days and hours, everything looked normal to me. Then, I think between breakfast and lunch she licked her leg and produced the damage as in the last photo. I'm bandaging her leg...

It happened again, and this time Giada, my cat, wasn't even touched by a vet or a needle. Today at noon I found out this This is her right front leg, inner side. I'm rather sure she was fine yesterday. So, it might happen at any moment, even without external factors! Now I have to wrap and...

Ok, because I heard some people say that they give this Hydracare to their cats to help them stay hydrated, none of them mentioned kidney/urinary issues.

Just out of curiosity. Why should someone give their cats Hydracare to increase the daily water intake rather than just giving plain water? As far as I have understood, Hydracare is just lots of water (94.5%) with little proteins and fats (3.5%). So, it doesn't seem to add anything special to...

Amazing shots, @Norachan ! What camera do you use, if I can ask you?

For my cats I buy Orijen dry food (5.4 kg packs at around €65 each on average), which is grain free. I'm happy with it. It's expensive enough, I hope it won't get any more costly here in Europe.

A couple of years ago, at the local shelter I had a cat with FCV and FIV, he was also a senior cat. His mouth was so red and his tongue was so swollen and peeled that the poor cat couldn't eat at all. The treatment was antibiotics and a natural anti inflammatory and pain killer (CBD drops), and...

I used the sachets form, powder, but I live in Italy so things might be different. Anyway, I believe that powder or capsule or tablet, it doesn't change the effect. Other members of the forum had positive experiences before.

A week later. Giada lost 20 more grams, but I think it's because this last week she ate a lower calories wet food. Anyway, we went beyond the threshold of 300 grams lost total (305 grams).

In my rather long experience with cats, I used tons of Fortiflora which never gave the least result. I'm not saying that it doesn't work, I'm just saying that personally I wouldn't consider it my first choice. Probably others will same the same, but you could try S. Boulardii instead. I fixed a...

Did your vet run any fecal tests on Loki's poop? Did your vet mention an ultrasound scan?

1. Four times a day. Every 4 to 7 hours. 2. Morning, between 7:30 and 8. Around noon (4 hours later). Evening between 7:30 and 8. Night, at 11. 3. Morning and evening, wet food. Noon and night dry food. 4. Wet food 45 grams per meal. Dry food 14 grams per meal. Total 190 kcal per day.
