Hi, I have 2 cats (Sam and Lee) and I was wondering of anyone had any tips on monitoring how much water a cat drinks. Sam had a recent health scare (Hepatic Lipidosis) and I'm under the impression he's drinking more water than he used to. His last blood tests (in August) were completely fine so...

Hi Sorry for the late reply Sam is doing ok :) his last blood work was completely normal and he's eating fine on his own <3 Thank you to everyone who offered advice and cared about Sam.

Update about Sam: He started eating on his own. He needs a little encouraging but will occasionally get up and eat on his own. He even begged for some ice cream I was eating near him last week. At the last vet appointment (on the 17th), his liver values had improved a lot and he no longer has...

We got an appetite stimulant from the vet and sam is eating a little bit ❤ I wish he knew so many people were trying to help him. I'll move out once I graduate and get my own place and the cats are coming with me. For now I'll try to keep the peace with my sister and focus on keeping sam happy...

The heart to heart with my sister ended in a fight with no results. She doesn't think the dog is the cause of this since our other cat is fine and Sam doesn't look visibly scared or stressed. We've been keeping Sam away from other pets in my room and he seems to like it there. I'll ask the vet...

When I picked Sam up form the vet (he stayed there for two days to be force fed) he was using the litter box they gave him as bed and purring. The nurse said he was the sweetest cat ever and everyone at the clinic loved Sam <3

The puppy is a mixed breed and will be a small dog. The training classes would be awesome but there aren't any in my area (small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean). We don't have a lot of resources for animals. What bothers me the most is the fact that my sister works 9 hours a day and...

I read that article and I think this could have been avoided if my sister had done a bit of research before bringing a dog into our home. By the time I got home, the puppy had met the cats already. Ofc she means no harm, but all she wants to do is bite everything that moves. I don't know how to...

I left music on for him (one of those long youtube videos with music for cats) all afternoon. I'll keep it going to see if it helps him. He's currently staying in my room with no other pets. We are working on getting a fan that isn't too loud. I'll definitely ask the vet about those, thank you...

It's ultimately my sister's dog cause she pays for her food and vet bills. My sister wanted to be our dog but I don't have the time of patience to clean after her and raise her. I got enough on my plate as a student who works and I know nothing about dogs (we've only had cats before). I know...

We did that. He's been staying in my room away from the dog and our other cat (so we can control who eats what). We got him new bowls too but he seems to prefer eating off the floor. He'll come out a few times a day of his own will to hang out with the other cat but seems to prefer being in my...

I'd give the puppy back 100% but she's not mine to give away. My sister adopted her while I was away at college and didn't tell me to "surprise me". I love all animals but I don't have the patience to raise a puppy. I manage to syringe feed Sam this morning, got 7x6cc in him. Will do it again...

I'm worried cause Sam was the kind of cat who would eat anything. No food was safe near him. And now he won't even eat tuna. Can stress really do this to a cat? I can't lose Sam. I lost a 15yo cat not long ago (I'm 23 and it's been so hard getting used to not having her around).

He'll pick at the food when I bring it near him. And will sometimes walk to his bowl, smell it or lick it and walk away. The frustrating thing is he ate by himself while at the vet. I saw him eat out of the nurse's hand when I picked him up. I don't know why he won't eat at home

Thanks. I've heard of music for cats but didn't know if it worked. I'll give it a try for sure

I'll call the vet as soon as they open monday morning. The thing is I can't afford to have him committed again. His last vet bill was over 300€

Thank you, I'll try those

He doesn't like the dog, but his behaviour looks normal aside from the not eating. I hope it isn't cause there's no way around the dog.

Hi, I have a 5yo cat named Sam. Sam used to be overweight and lost weight rapidly. He also seemed to be eating less. I took him to the vet who ran labs, and says Sam's liver is in bad shape. He stayed at the vet for 2 days to be force fed and when I picked him up they said he was ok and eating...
