He’s got kidney issues and thyroid issues but both are well managed. He’s lost a lot of weight and he’s fragile so he gets to...

    How Long After Antibiotics Is Diarrhea Normal?

    My recent experience with this plant based probiotic and enzymes has been amazing. My boy had a few weeks of diarrhea every day, almost 7 times a day! It wasn’t good. A holistic vet recommended I try this probiotic and over night, after the first dose, his diarrhea stopped. 1/4 teaspoon once a...

    Aggressive Episodes Getting Worse

    Yikes! I’m so sorry this happens! I know you must be feeling freaked out and disheartened at the same time. Neutering usually calms down some of the aggression but not always, it really depends on the cat. This guy sounds like he’s got some high anxiety happening. Talk to your vet and explain...

    Senior Cat Losing Weight

    A holistic vet said that it’s a malabsorption issue that will be remedied with a plant based probiotic and enzymes. I bought what she recommended and after the first night his diarrhea stopped! He’s back to pooping once a day and it’s mostly formed poo!

    I will definitely call and ask the vet about this. I looked up the common symptoms online and he’s got many of them.

    Senior Cat Losing Weight

    I’m so sorry you lost your baby, it’s so heartbreaking. Thank you for your advice though! The vet gave him his first B12 shot 2 days ago and it’ll likely be a regular thing. As for the thyroid medication, it must be doing something still because his thyroid levels are in a good place.

    Senior Cat Losing Weight

    Thank you! Though he was eating organic, plain pumpkin before and my vet suggested to keep it out for now because his poo was the exact color of the pumpkin. Still looking like soft serve. Once I took it out, his poo turned the color of peanut butter which actually is close to the color of his...

    Swollen Bottom Lip?

    My boy had this issue a few times. The first time was due to feline acne, which was treated at the vet. The second flare up was due to getting food on his chin. He needs to eat from a ceramic plate instead of a bowl. Maybe ceramic will help instead of steel? Make sure you clean it after every meal.

    Raw Food Causing Constipation?

    Kasper seems to be feeling much better and he's gotten very picky on his food now that he has so many options lol! I am keeping some Merrick's senior kibble out for him for about an hour during the day, just to get in a little fiber to help him out in the litter box. Once I figure out how to get...

    Raw Food Causing Constipation?

    I'm actually trying to get his weight back up, right now he's 8.3 pounds. He used to be 10 pounds until the hyperthyroidism kicked in and he had to be on meds, then his kidneys acted up because of the medication. He lost some weight and a lot of muscle mass. His fur got really bad too with lots...

    Raw Food Causing Constipation?

    The raw food is from Rad Cat and I have both chicken and beef. He liked the beef for a little while and now he's rejecting it and I'm not sure why. Since this diet change, he has suddenly gotten very picky when he wasn't before. I haven't used lactulose but I will ask my vet about it, thanks!

    I add water to his meals to make them soupy as he seems to like it that way. He also drinks water throughout the day too. He seems to be well hydrated. Thank you!:hugs:
