Sure there could very well be coyotes in Canada but never heard of in my little residential town. Thanks for your concern.

No, he is very safe! I won’t even run for a quick shower while he is outside and no wolves etc here where I am. He loves it and cant wait for the first sign of Spring here to go outside since we are cooped inside with extremely cold temperatures all winter long! Problem is he is waking up at 5am...

Oh my goodness, no! First of all, we live in Northern Quebec where there are no wild animals roaming our area. I have a small enclosed backyard and he likes to hide in hedges chasing insects and frogs. On top of that, he is never left out unattended!! If he was let out without a leash and stake...

Bluepeach, I have the same problem with my cat especially during the summer months when the sun rises really early. Has anything helped? My cat is basically an indoor cat but goes out in the backyard with a leash and stake. I dont like to leave him unattended because one time he chased something...

My 7 year old part Maine Coon boy has been having these poop issues for several months now. He had some bouts of diarrhea last year and earlier this year from what i believe was drinking or playing with contaminated water after a basement flood. Metro (sometimes 2 rounds of it) seemed to clear...

Thanks for that..I guess mine looks right :-)

I got it to thicken a little more to like a gravy...no thicker, not like a paste how some have mentioned though..

Thank you, I will give it another try. The SEM was bought online, sealed and still well within expiry date so I am supposing it should be ok...

So i boiled a cup of water and while still hot mixed in a teaspoon of the slippery elm powder. Let it cool a couple of hours but it did not thicken. I put it in the fridge too but it’s still liquid. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you...will give it a try!

Thanks for your replies. That's what I've been doing...mixing it with cold water first (it still stays a liquid though) and then mix it into the food. I will try it with hot water and let it sit a bit first and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for your reply! So there is no added benefit with slippery elm made into a paste vs just sprinkled into the food?

I've been mixing about 1/8 teaspoon in my Lukas' food twice a day, for the past few days now and he has been eating it no problem. I have read that some people make a paste or boil it. Is it more effective this way or is just the same as mixing the powder with some water in his food?

Thank you both!! I also recently ordered some slippery elm powder that I read a lot of positive about for gastro issues. Any experience with this?

I found a 100% pumpkin puree (not pie filling.) I guess this is the right stuff? Do you know if it’s ok for a cat with struvites to take this?

Thanks, Furballsmom! Will check it out :-)

Hi Jem, I've never tried the pumpkin. Is there a brand you that you or somebody could recommend in Canada? I do have the the paste and have started giving it to him again this week. It recommended twice a day for the first 4 days and 3 times a week after that. I've also been grooming him every...

Thank you all for your advice! Jem, my Lukas also has/had a struvite problem and actually needed emergency surgery for it 3 years ago...that is why he was put on the UR diet. It is mainly wet food with some UR kibble during the day. Doesn't look like there is much fiber in it though?? Could this...

Hi, yes he’s been to the vet a few times over the past year and they’ve done a quick analysis of stool, put him on metro, his labs are always good so they think it may be IBD. This problem seems to come and go (some days its ok) so it’s been frustrating trying to manage. I do groom him but not...
