Great thread, and supportive. I have lost 136 lbs. no surgery or anything. Old fashioned way. Was it easy ? no. Worth it ? YES .. I am no longer diabetic, off all my old meds ; My BMI dropped from 46 to 26 ! I use my OLD tricks; track what I eat; drink WATER. Move more. dont obsess over the...
you gave your fur baby love, attention, medical care and comfort to the end. I am so sorry for your loss. I had a friend who had something very similar happen to her cat. He had JUST been cleared by a vet ; middle of night he howled, she got up to see why, and picked him up as he drew his last...
Peanut has sensitivities to some food, litter and had a reaction to flea med ! what I find works best ... look for food with MINIMAL ingredients. the less fillers, the better. Its probably something IN the food (etc.) that's triggering the issue, but it would take much $$ to find out what it is...
I have to agree with this post , 100% ! Peanut loves this ! she has cat tree, toys , floppy fish, interactive birds, mice..name it. . put on CATFLIX, or BIRDER KING.. bam ! she's content for hours ! :happycat: I have watched her to see what she prefers ..LOL .she LOVES mice and birds; finds...
Good morning ! I discovered Peanut is allergic to litter ! she was at a shelter for 3 months and they never noticed ? if not, they didn't mention it. :mad2: anyway, I noticed she would bolt from her box ..sneeze. started scratching, and worse of all she would dig her ears and flip her head like...
aw, you are most welcome ! if you notice the quote I put on Bellas picture .. it says " I saw that you were perfect , and so I loved you. then I saw you were not perfect, so I loved you even more " .. I'm sure you can relate ! feel free to borrow it !! :) I went thru similar feelings when...
aw, Misa ... beautiful girl ! with one eye or two ! I understand your bitterness , but please dont beat yourself up . You did the best you could with what knowledge you had; Misa will adapt to life with one eye. Kitties are a marvel at adapting to stuff like that !! and after all... better to be...
a quick note ... a saddle thrombus is also caused by a blood clot, but it is fatal. if it isn't 99 % of the time the best option is to end the suffering as it so horribly painful for them and the outcome is not good. I have lost 2 cats to it. wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. The chance of...
I have to say.. I have used both Chewy and Amazon for my pets. The one advantage Amazon has is .. faster delivery . I'm a prime member ,and stuff gets her FAST . Chewy is usually ok with food, but anything non food can take MUCH LONGER. I ordered an orthopedic bed for one cat I had. it took...
aw, what a tough spot to be in ! Grey is blessed to have such a loving family willing to go the extra mile for her ..yay ! :cheerleader:If she is showing improvement , and trying to recover ... and you are willing to put forth the effort to help her with her special needs right now, then I say ...
aw, poor baby !this was my kitty Bella .:redheartpump: She had the herpes eye virus her whole life. it was passed to her by her mom in the birth canal. Stress and illness would cause it flare up, but Lysine powder added to her food everyday kept it bay 99 % of the time. It worked well for her ...
I have read about other kitties whose tummies did not agree with FF for some reason ? Peanut wont eat it, but she is fussy overall. My Bella ate it just fine, but she would eat anything ... FF seems to not agree with alot of kitties. my friends kitty always vomited on Salmon flavor .My kitties...
Hi and welcome ! poor kitty canned ;pumpkin can help. they usually like it ! make sure its plain, not spiced up for pies.
they can also have miralax in small doses, but I would do that as a last resort and would check with a vet. are you able to get a water fountain ? a lot of kitties are drawn...
Have you had kitty checked for diabetes ? extreme hunger can be a symptom of illness. ( extreme thirst , urination, hunger ..) can be something else going on. the overgrooming can be a sign of stress. maybe some bloodwork might show you something .. ?
aw, reading all the kind responses makes my heart glad. Yes, terrible accidents happen, and death can result. The fact that you are sad means you are loving to start with. That is a GOOD thing !! Kittens are little rascals that dont understand danger , and I know of many stories that end sadly...
