    Natural Instinct wet food

    Has anyone had any experience with Natural Instinct wet food and constipation. Moe has been taking laxatone for a long time for his IBD, but I've had to double it lately, and that sometimes isn't enough. The natural instincts is newer to his diet, so I'm wondering if there is a possible...

    Prednisolone Pen

    Does anyone have any experience using the transdermal pen to administer prednisolone? My cat has IBD and needs this med. I have been having the pred compounded to a liquid to administer, but my cat is getting more and more sensitive about this. The pen would be easier on him, but I am...

    New Issue - Seizures

    Hello fellow cat lovers. So my Moe is 8 years old, and dx'd with IBD that could lead into cancer (vet has him on cancer med too). Moe also has a pinched gall bladder - something that he was likely born with. So I have caught Moe seizing twice now - once quite a while ago after giving him the...

    Itchy Ear Question

    So my male cat suddenly has an itchy ear. I feel so bad for him because he is miserable. No discharge or gunk or mites. All I can see is that the skin is scaly at the base inside the ear, and the vet said this was from itching. She said she thought it was an allergic reaction, and this could...

    When To Apply New Flea Med After 1st Had To Be Washed Off

    I have a new cat from a shelter that brought fleas into the house. I applied Vectra to her in the morning and went to work. When I came home she was acting weird. She was jumpy and very reactive. She wouldn't let me near her, and I think the application site was sore (bc of how she was...

    Cat Licking Material And Wood

    My sweet Moe has had an issue for a long time, and I was wondering if any of the cat experts on this site may be able to enlighten me. Moe has been licking weird things for many years. It is occasional, so it is not a significant issue or one that I think may be severe pica. I used to catch...

    New Cat More Fearful Of Me After 2 Weeks

    I have a new 1 year old cat in the home. She is a sweet girl, and was more affectionate when I first brought her home. The rescue that I got her from thought she would be a good match for me (I have a 7yo boy who is very passive). I have her in her own safe room. As soon as she left the crate...

    Adding New Cat To Home

    I want to adopt a companion cat for my 8 yo male. He is very laid back and sleeps a lot (like cats do - but he seems to really sleep). He was raised with another cat (who passed away a year ago) and I think he would like a catmate. I don't have expectations that if I add a cat it is going to...

    Vectra Reaction

    Hello. I got a new cat that had fleas. The cat was treated and got a skin condition from it, and has been scratching a lot. I have an appointment set up with a vet to assess what is going on. When making the appointment at the vets, I was told that a topical wouldn't be a bad idea, in case...

    New Cat Mean To Resident Cat

    I could really use some advice. I had a 17 yo cat who passed away a year ago. This left me with a boy cat who is now 8yo. Moe has inflammatory bowel and is on meds. Since he got along so well with the previous cat, I went to a shelter and adopted a female cat, spayed 7 years old. She was a...
