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

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...

First of all, I have an appointment with the vet for Thursday at 11am. That's the earliest they could get me in. I adopted Liam a few months ago (I know he's chubby. He's on a diet.) and I've recently noticed he does this wheezing thing that kind of sounds like a hairball but nothing comes up...

Hi. Liam has really loose, sticky stools and his foster mom says he's always had them. She was giving him fancy feast, which he loves, but I've switched him to Hill's Science Biome, which seems to have fixed the issue. Trouble is, he hates it. (He's also a little chubby, but I don't want him to...

My new boy Clarence is a grazer. He has a cleft palate so I have to add water to his food and mix it up and it takes him the day to eat it all. I give him a can in the morning and one at night. I'm also giving him lots of Churus and kitten food to fatten him up. For now, he is isolated with his...

I’ve read the massive thread about ringworm here and posted one of my questions in it, but I think it’s too old. Searching other threads for answers too but I still have a few. I’m trying to limit my scope to the Cat Site article and threads here. There is so much info out there! A lot of it...

Hi. I just adopted a cat with some interesting issues. I got him last night and his name is Clarence. First vet visit is tomorrow morning and we see a surgeon on June 1st. He has a 1 cm hole in the roof of his mouth and is chronically congested. Snorts all the time. I feel like he's struggling...

I’m thinking about adopting a cat that “has a hole in the roof of his mouth.” I haven’t seen it and they don’t call it a cleft palate but that’s what it sounds like. A vet tried to close it up, but it opened up again. He eats with encouragement but snorts a lot. Anyone have any experience with...

Oliver was 12 and had lymphoma. It came on so suddenly. He was deteriorating fast and chemo was only making it worse. I’ve had him since he was a kitten. They found him wobbling around the streets with his mama. He had mild CH but never let that hold him back. Animal Control was going to...

Hi all. Timothy takes his hyper thyroid meds via a cream on his ear. Transdermal med. I'm noticing the inside of his ear is getting a little crusty. What's the best way to clean that? He's pretty skittish so I have to be sneaky about it, so any tips on that front are appreciated, too. Thanks!

I need to get insurance for Benjamin before he’s too old. He’s four. Embrace looks pretty good but looking for advice and experience of other cat owners. I just spent $6k on care for Oliver and really wishing I had bought insurance.

Hi all. My mom's cat has a severe skin allergy that is just awful. He's pulling fur, scratching, generally unhappy. This morning, the vet gave us lots of meds and instructed us to bathe him very three days with some medicated shampoo. She gave us some tips, but I was wondering if the cat experts...

The little stinker in my pic, Oliver, has decided he doesn't like his Hills Digestive food anymore. He went a few days without eating anything but treats, so I looked on here and someone recommended Hill's Prescription Diet a/d Urgent Care, so I called my vet and picked up a few cans. He's...

Last July, I adopted a 17 year old cat who found herself in the shelter after her owner died. I knew we didn't have long, but I thought we'd have more than 8 months. She had bone spurs in her spine and bad arthritis. (As a side note, monthly Selensia injections really helped her. Recommend. Also...

Hi! I have three cats: Timothy, Benjamin, and Oliver. My vet suggested I use Aquadent mouthwash for their teeth. I measured it out and put it in ONE of their two water bowls Friday night. (I just did one because I wanted to see if they'd drink it. If they didn't, they'd be without water and I...

My cat has had diarrhea on and off for a few months. Over the past few weeks, it's become constant, so I took him to the vet. She thinks he has a food allergy. She put him on Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets HA Hydrolyzed Dry Cat Food and prescribed Pro Pectalin Gel until stool becomes solid...

My cat Timothy started having sneezing fits last night. Kept waking me up since he sleeps on the pillow next to me. He sneezed all day today, too. (I work from home.) No nasal or eye discharge. I called the vet to ask if I could try Benadryl and he said it’s okay to give him 25mg since he’s 20...

I adopted a cat on Sept 10 and when I picked him up they said, “he’s sick, but we will send you home with antibiotics.” Seven days later he’s still blowing bloody snot so I took him to the vet. They put him on stronger antibiotic. Vet also said he needs at least three teeth pulled (the gums are...

A little over a month ago, I adopted a new cat. He's five and just the nicest cat ever. I have one resident cat, Oliver, who is very docile and has mild Cerebellar hyperplasia, so he's a little wobbly, but gets around fine. (Just mentioning in case this new cat senses he's different and that's...
