@FeralHearts I MAY have stress ate some Old Dutch salt and vinegar chips and vegan cupcakes! I will either sleep deep tonight too or be all jumpy. He's doing better and better as time goes on though, it's so heartening to see.
Thanks @betsygee - I really wasn't expecting this, Timothy had no issues with solensia. Timothy's 15 in October, Neb's (our dog) technical 15th birthday is April 18th so they're a similar age but a 15 year old husky mix is probably older in human years than a 15 year old cat, so who knows how...
@FeralHearts Yes I think Southbrook is near the airport. It's on Niagara Stone Road near it, anyways. We like it.
Well - our old dog Nebbers had his first shot of librela (the dog version of solensia) Saturday and he had a scary what we think is adverse reaction. Had to rush him to the vet...
House prices in Toronto are still ridiculous, but I think it's spread all over the place. Even really far north (and I do mean really far north, like Lake Superior) has hugely jumped in price. We are club members at a winery in NOTL (Southbrook), so we go out there sort-of regularly (though...
Has she ever been to the vet, have you ever been able to catch her? They might have some ideas about something that could help.
With my learning-to-trust strays and semi-ferals, sometimes it was a matter of being sneaky and even getting them shut in a room (hopefully without a lot of hiding...
Oh wow and here I thought I paid the most! I hope if you keep Charlie on it you see a difference.
Today would've been Timothy's third dose but we cancelled. They say 60 days and that's when you should see a difference. Timothy has good days, bad days, he had good days, bad days before. He...
Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!
Got more litter and dog food today (along with some turkey bone broth for dogs - Timothy is also a fan) and got a cardboard scratcher.
Timothy was an early (if brief) adopter, but guess who was just using it - Cordelia!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness!
Thank you so...
@Margot Lane while my husband was out running errands I suggested he get one and he huffily informed me 'We just got two scratching posts' honestly that man sometimes! Heh. I'll just have to go myself!
We have those toys with balls around the outside and cardboard scratchers on the inside. She ignores those. Do you think a larger cardboard scratcher would help? She was on the headboard last night and I had to say 'Cordelia!' as she was starting to scratch it. Someone has shoved the post in...
Well, I never saw her scratching on the one turned on it's side - but my husband seems to have developed an unreasonable dislike of these scratching posts, and today insisted it be place upright again as 'it's a tripping hazard' (it's not in a path we use to walk about, but sigh). I did see her...
@Mac and Cats that's fantastic you can't feel your boy's spine anymore!!!!! I have a smile on my face now.
(We have to feed Cordelia on the counter - Timothy's not confident jumping up there - or he'd take her food. But since we cut back what we feed her too, she's not leaving food in the bowl)
Oh I didn't realise that - that's really good to know. I'm definitely going to raise the possibility with them. Geez, now I'm second guessing how quickly he lost the lb he gained from October-February 1st (he lost .8lbs in February - we were trying to get the weight off, but yeah). We've...
Thanks @Mac and Cats - the vet said it didn't need to be done, "unless we wanted to get curious" (but that they don't think it's necessary for now). We'll hold off. I think Luc, our dog, had a ECG but I don't remember now. Vet stuff in Toronto is expensive! Ah well. Something to save our...
It's possible I've approached things wrong in the past, but as a renter I have a history of lots of moves (though we've been in our current place for 8 years and have no plans to move).
We've always just safely put the cats in their own space (either at the old/new place), and then move...
Timothy had his last annual in October 2022. No signs of a murmur then.
He had his first shot of solensia February 1st. I can't remember if they listened to his heart then, I don't think so, we were there to get his eyes looked at - he's got some colour changes that need to be monitored, I...
