    Looking for a Hip & Joint compound- in oil or liquid with these components

    We've tried various gels & tablets & powders with varying success for our cat's hip & joint stiffness. They work for a time but seem to lose their effectiveness after a while. We think they might be more effective if they are in a oil or liquid that will absorb into his system quicker. We are...

    Asking for experience of those who've reversed IBD in cats....

    Two years ago, we moved out of a house with black mold. We're wondering if some fungi from that may be remaining in his system. We're looking for internal anti-fungals- a lot of probiotics/enzymes sites claim that as something they help with. He's probably gone though at least three bouts of...

    Asking for experience of those who've reversed IBD in cats....

    For the past two years, he's eaten Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food- Chicken, Turkey. Rabbit, Duck & Goose, pretty much exclusively. (He is expensively spoiled! *L*) He's been on PrednisTab at least .5 pill daily. We often use Pet Wellness Kidney Support & Life Gold. Wysong Biotic...

    Asking for experience of those who've reversed IBD in cats....

    About three years ago, I was here when Finnigan was in distress. He's still chugging along through good times & bad. Last week he had a flare-up but seems to be recovering after pooping out a load of hairballs. He even seems more energetic than usual. He's at least 15 & jumped up on the bed...

    Cat Lip-licking, Ibd, And Update-

    We didn't give loud meowing as a symptom. We said he licks his lips when he meows. And yes, we know licking of lips means nausea. We said so in the OP. As for the sound he makes, he doesn't react like he's in pain. He doesn't move or try to get away or re-position himself. He just makes the...

    Cat Lip-licking, Ibd, And Update-

    A couple of months ago, I opened a discussion about our cat licking his lips. It's been two months and his Mom wanted me to post this detailed history & update. She wrote this via Talk-to-Text, so bear with me if I didn't get everything edited. We have had an alarming Health crisis with our...

    Cat Licking Lips, Not Just To Clean Face, But After Eating Or When Just Moving...

    He's been to the vet already, gotten a prescription diet, and his medications & supplements are all vet approved. He is a lot better and no longer vomiting every few days. It's just this behavior that is concerning us that we could be doing more for him. Thank you all.

    Cat Licking Lips, Not Just To Clean Face, But After Eating Or When Just Moving...

    We've gotten our cat on a new feeding regime that's worked as far as enabling him to eat without throwing up. We notice, however, that he is licking his lips frequently. We see that's listed as a symptom of acid reflux/GERD and are wondering what we can do or give him that will help him. He...

    Our Cat Is Vomiting Frequently- Would This Help...?

    Our cat doesn't have hairball problems as much since we brush him regularly. He does have problems vomiting in the middle of the night. The Vet thinks he has sensitive stomach. We've had good results with Pet Wellbeing products. We are looking at their Hairball Gold - Hairball Gold for Feline...

    Rebuilding Lost Muscle Mass....

    I also just noticed I originally wrote Manx & you all corrected it to Manx. That makes you all more awesome & me looking more like a doofus. :D

    Rebuilding Lost Muscle Mass....

    Thank you. Btw, a correction. My lady informed me that our boy is NOT a Maine Coon. I thought sure she told me that once. He's a basic handsome Tuxedo cat.

    Rebuilding Lost Muscle Mass....

    We had a very bad experience with a vet and don't really trust her when she says that nothing we can do can help our older cat develop more muscles. She says once it's gone, it's gone for good. How can that even be true when muscles are one of the most regenerative tissues in the body? Would a...
