    Elevated Calcium, Retest, Parathyroid Or Lymphoma?

    I finally got Winter an x-ray, his heart was enlarged so I went through the process of getting him a echocardiogram done, he's been diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy... I did things not in proper order, I suppose, though and finally got blood work done per request of the veterinarian...

    Fiv-positive Cat Immunity Support Without Lysine?

    Lysine is touted as "immunity support" which is why I figured it was "immunity boosting", I was wrong I guess in thinking that. However, lysine on various sites for FIV does not mention solely and only herpes but that lysine helps secondary infections in general. I don't even know with 100%...

    Fiv-positive Cat Immunity Support Without Lysine?

    Someone in a cat health group on Facebook mentioned lysine not working or being effective. I researched on my own and found the study they're probably thinking of when they say that about lysine. My mom's cat has FIV, none of mine do but I've bought lysine before for her to give him, after the...

    Sniffing Earwax, Biting Ears And Sniffing Armpits, Then Love Biting Arm

    Haha, yeah, I only tell Winter to stop when the sniffing ears turns into biting. He bites my ears really hard but only does "love bites" on my arm which aren't nearly as bad/painful. Winter is definitely weird too!

    Sniffing Earwax, Biting Ears And Sniffing Armpits, Then Love Biting Arm

    My Winter is the weirdest cat I have ever come across, grew up with cats and none were like him whatsoever. He sleeps on me, so sometimes I awaken to my ears being heavily sniffed and then bit, as if he is in love with the smell of earwax. Then, I live alone and don't always go out, so when I...

    From No Meow To Meowing

    Also, I was reminiscing/thinking back and my ex was staying with me at the time we found him, that's when he did the no sound meow. It was only after my ex left a year or so later when he, Winter, began meowing with sound. Possibly coincidental but it seems strange IMO. I think it's having more...

    From No Meow To Meowing

    I used to talk to him the whole year or so that he didn't make a sound at all though, I always talk to my cats. I just find it strange that all of a sudden one day he started actually making a sound. And, yeah, now a days he usually wants something, yes, even if it's just attention. It just...

    From No Meow To Meowing

    Just curious, when I first found my Winter as a stray, he had no meow. He'd open his mouth to meow and no sound would come out but I could tell he was trying! He was roughly 9 months at the time (2012). It took nearly a year from then before suddenly he started actually meowing and sound...

    Question: X-ray Sedation For Chronic Vomiting + Heart Murmur (long Post)

    I meant I'm looking at higher protein lower carb dry grain free compared to the current dry grain free I feed now. I may be able to get away with smaller bags of dry too which will cost less too.

    Question: X-ray Sedation For Chronic Vomiting + Heart Murmur (long Post)

    Yes Friskies seems best price wise and some months I could offer other brands with different proteins as a treat. And, I'm looking at different high protein lower carb grain free options compared to the grain free I'm currently doing. And, not sure what companies to look into for financing...

    Question: X-ray Sedation For Chronic Vomiting + Heart Murmur (long Post)

    The quote also included abdominal ultrasound too though but I also want eventually a heart ultrasound done too which they didn't quote a price for.

    Question: X-ray Sedation For Chronic Vomiting + Heart Murmur (long Post)

    Fancy Feast based on calories my cats need at $0.60 on Chewy or like $0.65 in stores is kind of out of my budget with as many cans I'd need. My 20 lb not fat cat needs average 400 calories based on 20 calories per lb of body weight, he'd need 4 cans of FF Classic Chicken at 98 kcal. The other...

    Question: X-ray Sedation For Chronic Vomiting + Heart Murmur (long Post)

    Our Friskies state "meat by product" and or "poultry by product" in the one's I'm buying so that'd be animal parts and pieces. In "the wild" a cat would eat most of an animal that they were consuming.

    Question: X-ray Sedation For Chronic Vomiting + Heart Murmur (long Post)

    His vomit isn't half digested, it's completely undigested. I'm researching motility issues now. Mine eats grain free and still vomits. I've tried 4 different grain free brands and one LID (limited ingredient). Friskies is low end but is all I can afford doing only wet. I read on one website...

    Feeding Variety/rotation Of Dry Food

    My cats have snubbed some dry food brands before, causing me to have to go to the store (before I discovered Chewy too) and buy a bag of old and waste the other. They never snub wet unless it's beef and some fish, some fish gets vomited by my one, I stay away from all fish foods now. I've tried...

    Feeding Variety/rotation Of Dry Food

    It's possible I could do a soley wet diet using Friskies canned but there's a chance my cats might not eat it portioned out if there are refrigerated leftovers (microwaved, on the counter to warm or warmed in a baggy). I'm going to attempt warming on the counter as they refuse it microwaved...

    Question: X-ray Sedation For Chronic Vomiting + Heart Murmur (long Post)

    I'm going to switch to a wet only diet as a precaution since he doesn't vomit that (although he has vomited fish flavors and beef but if I stay away from those he doesn't), because a website says this about IBD "Some cats with inflammatory bowel disease seem to tolerate canned wet food better...

    Question: X-ray Sedation For Chronic Vomiting + Heart Murmur (long Post)

    Doing more research because he only throws up dry food (not always though) but does not vomit wet unless he eats too much (ie when I used to not seperate and he'd eat the other cats portions, now I separate), small portions don't get vomited at all. I could possibly do an all Friskies wet diet...

    Question: X-ray Sedation For Chronic Vomiting + Heart Murmur (long Post)

    Here's to hoping! I'd die without my Winter. I love all of my cats but don't think it'd be easy to ever find another like him. He spends all day on me/in my lap laying in my arms like a baby when not playing, follows me from room to room, sleeps on me at night and can play fetch (I haven't in a...

    Question: X-ray Sedation For Chronic Vomiting + Heart Murmur (long Post)

    It's already scheduled. My vet has an online appointment form. They have you choose 3 best dates. I did February 8th, 14th and 21st. They picked February 14th. I'm praying it's not a mass or something requiring surgery, as I definitely cannot afford that. Would take me 1-2 yrs to save for such a...
