To switch my stubborn Zira to wet, we would crunch up her dry food into "special dust" and sprinkle it on the wet food, she would eat it no problem. We gradually decreased the amount until she would eat it alone. Watch the chicken broth as it contains sodium. Hope she is feeling better soo .

My Rupert suffered from extreme constipation in '09 had 7 enamas and used lactulose daily until vet suggested colon surgery...I researched Miralax and started him on that. It took some adjusting, sometimes a bit more than 1/4 tsp. sometimes a bit less. But the lactulose he was on had to keep...

How lucky Peggy is to have you! Can't really help with the stump problem but as for toys look into Undercover mouse, mystery mat, or it goes by other names. It is a round mat with a feather stick that goes around in a circle at different speeds. She can sit or lay down and catch it as it comes...

Another trick is putting pill in a bit is soft cheese, cream cheese, velveeta cheese even American cheese can be formed around pill. I never have luck crushing pill into food, I use wet food with chunks or shredded meats and just cover pill a bit. Helps if cat is hungry so even hold off feeding...

My Moo hissed at Charlie after Charlie's surgery/cone/meds so think it is just strange things going on that has them at odds now. Mine are fine now and back to normal. Vet told me Ok to remove cone once stitches and scabs are gone as long as Charlie to is not constantly licking. Vet says he will...

Entry This is not a funny story but a "they pick us story". Not long after my mother in law passed I kept having a recurring dream about an orange cat not kitten named Charlie. I had the dream many times, same dream, he was in a shelter and no one was adopting him as he was not a kitten and a...

I think we all get that way when any of our babies are going through something. Charlie had his abscess 4 days before we were flying to go to NY for nieces wedding so of course I did not go, hubby was in wedding party so he went while I stayed and nursed Charlie. Some at wedding thought I was...

Glad things are going a little bit better. Yes Charlie did become depressed and layed around a lot but was also on pain meds for some days. We thought it was anal glands but turned out it was not, it was a bite on the base of the tail from rough playing with out other younger cat Moo. Apparently...

My Charlie had a abcess on tail and had to be in cone for a month. The one from vet was like yours, trouble for my poor boy so I found one on Amazon. It is a soft cone, looks like a big flower, by Sun Grow, comfy cone $12.30. It was so much better! Easier for him to sleep, walk around, I could...

A little trick we tried with our Zira who refused to switch over to wet was we put her favorite kibble/treats in the food processor and made "special dust" and sprinkled some of that on top of wet food. Little by little we just reduced amount of dust...it took some time but it worked!!

I just started using Tractor Supply 4health canned grain free cat food and my kitties are enjoying it for the most part and it does seem to fill them up more. It is also priced reasonably . Rupert who has had bathroom problems over the years one way or the other is having normal bowel movements...

So sorry that the other cone did not work out but it seems things are going ok and hopefully he will be out of cone soon. He is just so beautiful! This is my Charlie in his, they only had pink but he looked cute!

A trick we did with our Zira who loved her crunchies was to crush up some crunchies and sprinkle over/mix into a little wet food. It took a while but she finally accepted wet food. Good luck as I know what that poor pitiful "I'm starving" meow sounds like, heartbreaking.....

My Rupert does this when we go to bed, think he just does not want to be left alone. Once he finds us all is fine.

Agree with the Miralax, it was a life saver for my Rupert. Vet said mega colon after many many enemas, more fiber, lactulose, meds, vet talked about surgery to take out colon and also quality of life. I was not ready to do either without a bit of research, so I read up about Miralax and thought...

My Charlie had a abcess on tail and had to wear cone for a month. One from vet, hard plastic, was just not working so I found a soft one on Amazon by Sun Grow, comfy cone, looks like a big flower, worked out wonderful!! Soft and easier for eating, bends back, and better all the way around. Don't...
