    Cat Backed Up - Hypoallergenic probiotics?

    Hi there, My cat has always had a sensitive stomach/problems with shaking her ears, which has been traced to food allergies. I switched her over to a chicken-free/grain free diet, and since putting her on Koha's single meat wet food 3 months ago, stomach noises/loose BM's haven't been an...

    Head shaking and ear infections

    Hi, When we first adopted out 2.5 year old cat from a shelter in June, the vet checked her over before we brought her home.

    As I have suspected that our cat has food allergies, I have recently switched her over to a grain free dry food by PC called Nutrition First (in Canada), which contains no by-products/chicken or poultry. The ingredient list seems very clean, and this is a much more affordable option for us...

    Atopica - How Long Does It Take For It To Start Working?

    Hi, I posted a few days ago about my cat, who has been put on atopica after a 2 week dose of prednisol for what the vet has figured is rodent ulcer + allergies. She is thinking these allergies are environmental as she is not having any GI problems, but I have switched her to a hypo diet/limited...

    Eosinophilic Granuloma (rodent Ulcer)? Need Help.

    Hi all, I am hoping that someone might have some suggestions or be able to share their experience with me. We adopted a cat in July from the shelter. She had just had most of her teeth removed due to an infection (they found her wandering around the woods several weeks before). Her mouth...
