    Gastritis and Enteritis in 12 week only kitten

    Thank you! We are definitely stopping the temptations. Right now he is eating Purina proplan EN which the vet prescribed him. We are only giving him a spoonful at a time every few hours. He hasn't vomited since getting back from the vet and finally had a solid bowel movement so hopefully he is...

    Gastritis and Enteritis in 12 week only kitten

    They didn't do any tests other than an x-ray. Tuesday is the earliest that he can be seen at his regular vet office. They did give him fluids and sent him home with metronidazole and prescription food, and told us not to give him food or water until tonight. I am not with him right now as I am...

    Gastritis and Enteritis in 12 week only kitten

    Hi all, My 12 week only kitten Bruce was just diagnosed with gastritis and enteritis after a couple of days of vomiting after eating and diarrhea. He lost almost a full pound in less than a week, I feel so bad for him. Does anyone have experience with it? I am not sure what could have caused...

    New 9 week old kitten

    Thank you for your reply! I have read about introductions a bit, but was concerned because he will be so young that he will be isolated. I use ground walnut litter so it is natural and not clay based if that makes a difference, but can get pellet litter like yesterday's news if necessary...

    New 9 week old kitten

    Hello, Looking for some tips and advice. I got a call from our local shelter that two 9 week old male kittens were brought in and I am planning on taking one home Saturday. I have one cat currently who is a female just under 2 years old and spayed. She was 5 months old when I got her and I have...

    How on Earth do cat owners sleep?!

    I am beyond exhausted, and at the end of my rope! My cat simply does not let us sleep at night. She is 1.5 years old. We both work full time and always have a vigourous play session with her before bed until she is tired. On days off we play with her and let her outside on a leash which she...

    Transition From Kitten Food To Cat

    Thanks for your response! If my math is correct I think I'm giving her just over 200 calories a day, I feed Nutro brand varieties for wet and dry. She is so fluffy it's hard to tell her shape exactly lol but she's very active still, she just turned one last month :)

    Transition From Kitten Food To Cat

    Hi all! I just wanted to confirm if I am feeding my cat too much or an appropriate amount. She's moving from kitten to adult now so I'm switching her to adult food instead of kitten food, and thinking of limiting her dry food a bit more rather than free feeding. Right now I feed a perfect...

    Interactive Feeder

    Oh good I'm glad it's working for you! My cat is really active and loves to play hunt. She eats mostly wet food but I thought for her dry which I leave out overnight and while I'm at work, instead of a bowl she might enjoy "hunting" for her food

    Substitute For Nutro Max Cat?

    Thank you for the link, lots of very interesting information there. I don't feed her grain free, Nutro Max has wheat in it, and she doesn't seem to have any sensitivities *knock on wood! Looks like a lot of pates were suggested on that thread which unfortunately she won't eat. I'm looking for a...

    What Dry Food Do You Feed Your Cats?

    I feed Nulo turkey and duck dry food, just as a supplement to wet. I leave out 1/4 cup per day that she can pick on while I'm at work or sleeping.

    Substitute For Nutro Max Cat?

    Hi all! So apparently Nutro brand is discontinuing their Max Cat line of wet food, and will only be making their perfect portions line. I just switched my cat over to wet (I leave some dry out but very little), and of course this was the only brand she really enjoyed and I could feel comfortable...

    Feeding Amounts

    Thank you for your advice everyone! It's hard to keep up with her favorites she seems to change her mind quite frequently lol! So I rotate a few that have been hits, depends on what she is in the mind for I guess. She usually just picks at her food and rarely eats a large amount at once anyway...

    Feeding Amounts

    Hi all! I have a seven month old kitten. I free feed her 1/2 cup of blue buffalo kitten dry food per day, and give one small can of wet food at night (various brands). She rarely finished the wet food unless it's her current favorite, all are kitten formulas. She was spayed at 2 months old from...

    Itchy Ears

    She does get into the hay quite a bit, try as I might to keep her out, but wasn't sure if like people that could be an allergen or not to cats.

    Itchy Ears

    Thanks so much for your advice! I cleaned her ears and there wasn't any build up in them but I'll keep an eye on it. I will certainly talk to the vet about potential food allergies, all of her gastro symptoms cleared up after first the giardia was cleared and then after switching her off of the...
