They just seem really similar in purpose so how do you choose?

I have a kitty with chronic diarrhea. I am trying him out on rabbit for a while to see if that helps (per vet). I am wondering about the differences between these Hill’s foods, though: Food Sensitivities Digestive Biome

Forgot to say Liam is losing weight and although he doesn’t like his inhaler, with treats we are getting it done!

They took a culture and we will see if we can treat it somehow with meds. It’s basically chronic congestion. He snorts and sniffles a lot and in between he does this cute little pigeon coo. When he wants food, it’s a raspy demanding MEOW! He’s a little character! Lol. I feel relieved that I...

Okay. I don't even know where to begin about yesterday's scope with Clarence. In a nutshell....there is no hole in the roof of his mouth. It's an indentation. A depression. And his nasal cavity is completely covered with scar tissue. No wonder he can't breathe!!!! The surgeon said he wasn't...

Which arm and hammer brand do you use?

Thanks everyone. I should take a video of his breathing. It’s definitely labored and with the congestion he just walks around snorting, trying to breathe. He’s so loving though and just wants to snuggle. He will also chase a string toy so that’s good. I wish they could answer when we ask “are...

I found success with the microchip feeders, but they are not cheap. I had a grazer, though, and that was the only way to make sure he was eating.

Hi all. Clarence goes for a scope on Monday morning. I decided to go for that because his breathing is so labored and one nostril is always blocked. It makes me wonder if there is something obstructing his nose. My goal is to get the full picture and go from there. I'm not looking at surgery at...

Hello all. Well, we're getting there! I stopped the pill this week and started the inhaler fulltime on Tuesday. So far, so good. He's starting to get squirmy, so I've been giving treats (which I have to watch because I need him to lose weight.) It must be working because no wheezing attacks this...

It's not really a stage. It's a number that predicts renal failure. It's not definite. I wish I could remember the name of it.

His T4 was fine. Everything was fine, really. Just that one number that sort of "predicts" that he could have renal failure in the next two years. I guess he's high risk. I got the KD, but I'm going to return it based on what you said. The first cats I ever had ate KD for the last few years of...

Hi. My cat Timothy has lost a pound since April. He's on thyroid medication so I thought maybe it was that and his meds need adjustment. His bloodwork is normal except for onset of kidney disease. (He said something about renal failure within two years. He's 15.) He is suggesting an abdominal...

Thanks! I put some Churu on the mask and he licked it off. He is very food motivated. I figure I'll just keep doing that. Do you push the inhaler when it's on his face? I saw a lady on youtube put her hand up against the mask to block it, spray it, then put it on the cat's face. Does that work...

Liam has taken two pills a day for a week and only had one little asthma attack the second day. Yesterday we reduced it to once a day (morning) and he had a small one last night. I just ordered an AeroKat chamber and the vet is leaving me a script for Fluticasone. Is that what everyone else is...

I adopted a cat that came from a foster home using Pretty Litter. I use Tidy Cat Lightweight. Now he has asthma. Is it the litter?? (He also needs to lose weight and we are working on that.) If the litter is aggravating it, I guess I need to change, but to what? I also have a rescue cat that was...

Vet is on board with trying inhaler! I’m so glad. I don’t like arguing with doctors and switching is even more stressful.

Heard from my old vet. Reaching out to current to let them know I want to try inhaler after this 2 weeks is up. From vet: “Hi, so the general protocol for asthma in cats is 2 weeks of oral steroids to build up steady state in their system while getting them started on the inhaler within the...

He also needs to lose weight. I would imagine that has to help. I’ll call the vet tomorrow and I just emailed my old vet that left the practice.
