You weren't making assumptions, you were offering helpful most appreciated advice, which if possible would have saved me thousands. One cat going daily to the vet, the other on an as needed basis, financially I was wiped out. The fluids, many meds administered was quite an expense but well...

all my adopted cats (except for 2) were taken off the streets, Trained to be indoor exclusively, taught socialization skills, introduced to good food, etc, after awhile as with every cat---I got to live with them. When you first spotted the cat and she started coming around, that's when you...

Problem is I have severe crippled hands with limited mobility, no problem using my finger tips to type but I can't get a good grip on things, nor hold a pen to write comfortably. All those I know who had to administer the fluids were able to do it without any difficulty, they would send photos...

I can imagine what you're experiencing. I had 2 cats with a fatal disease at the same time. One was kidney failure, the other liver disease. Joey had kidney failure was taken daily to the vet for subq liquids. I had all meds compounded at a local pharmacy to be given all at once. Trying to cut...

The B12 was liquid, the tech inserted it into the port without any difficulty. That's wonderful you are able to administer the fluids. I had to take Joey on a daily basis for 2 yrs.

I understand how difficult this is for you, I suffered I think more than my 2 cats knowing one had kidney disease, IBD, the other liver problems and both had other things going on. Getting them to eat is the most important and it cost me a tremendous amount of money. Nulo is good food I think...

That's good news, the thing about prednisone is once it's stopped it leaves the body which is good, not like more potent steroids that stay in the system. My joey initially had to be on a more powerful one but only 5 or 6 injections, maybe 7 w/o reviewing his records I don't recall but he was on...

Thank you, my cats are young right now they don't have any health issues, however, should something develop I will keep your suggestion in mind.

Wish you luck, do hope you have success finding the right food and a food they will eat. Because your cat as IBD may I ask if he/she is on medication to help with elimination.

My Joey had kidney disease and IBD, he was on medication for both conditions. Royal Canin S for the kidney problems can only be purchased from a vet unless with a script from the vet you can check prices elsewhere. the Royal Canin comes in varies varieties. Wellnes Raw Rev is what I gave him...

Weruva is made in a human grade facility. I just looked at the ingredients on 3 cans of food, one is Wellness Gravies Tuna, Weruva chicken and beef in hydrating puree and American Journey and I don't see xanthan gum unless it's listed under different names, like guar gum? American Jouney is...

I am only familiar with Wellness that's the only one I tried in raw but if Merrick has raw, that's an excellent company, the food is made on their premises so quality control is outstanding. Also made my Merrick I think it's back country, I buy it in small cans and pouches. Sorry, I know the...

Wellness has raw in different flavors. Everything depends on a cat's likes and dislikes, we cat people know it takes quite a bit of money, time and patience until we find a food our cats will eat. Having shared my home with cats for at least 50 yrs I always tried premium brands. I am also a...

Two yrs ago I decided to try a different brand of dry for the new adopted cats. Prior cats were fed Wellness, Merrick, Nulo. On Chewy's site I came across a brand I never heard of, it had brave reviews, excellent pure ingredients is offered grain free or low grain. I also contacted the...

I don't think any cat likes his mouth forced open to administer pill. Even though meds were administered through a syringe or injector, Joey's mouth had to be forced open. If you can medicate your cat that's wonderful. Have you tried some boiled white meat chicken or chicken broth. If he's not...

how's the cat doing. Is he still on Cerenia

Hi, I just came across an article I researched for my Joey. Maybe it might be of help/interest to you. The site is vetmed.tamu.edu/gilab/research/cobalamin-information. It contains importance of B12. Cobalamin is the med name for B12

You can get meds from Chewy but need a script from the vet. I bought the probiotic I mentioned from Amazon, without a script. There's also another online site that's more reasonable but a script is needed from the vet. Can't think of the name. But if nausea, which an animal can't tell us, is...

Glad you're starting the martazipine, I would also give the Cerenia with it for a few days. I hope it's not lymphoma. Let me mention something else that might help. All throughout Joey intestinal lymph nodes initially began to swell and that interfered with his eating. I didn't want...
