Hey all - I'm back with another senior cat with multiple chronic conditions. :( Partially posting to see if anyone has any insight I haven't thought of, and partially to see if anyone else is as frustrated as I am with the overall healthcare system and how rudimentary our understanding of these...

Thanks in advance for reading this 🙏 I hope all of you & your babies are doing well. I posted here awhile back when my other cat was dying of gastrointestinal lymphoma -- the support I got from you all here was invaluable and I'm grateful this community exists. We have a 16-year-old cat, Jelly...

Hey everyone -- I've mentioned this in the past, but my baby girl Cephas, 14 years old, has developed an overgrooming problem since around August 2021. I've tried / am trying just about everything to try and figure out the root of this issue and every time I think something is working, she...

Has anyone ever seen stool that was very dark, almost black, but NOT tarry and otherwise seeming normal? About 2 months ago, I switched my cat to RAWZ rabbit pates doing an elimination diet for food allergies (manifested in overgrooming / itchiness). Prior to this, she ate Sheba and Weruva...

In the ongoing saga of my 14-year-old baby, Max, currently working through large cell gastrointestinal lymphoma -- the latest issue we've been dealing with as of the last 1-2 days is that he has lost strength in his back legs and can no longer squat to poop. I believe this is pain issue, which...

Hey everyone! I have a cat who was recently diagnosed with large cell gastrointestinal lymphoma and is just starting chemotherapy. If anyone would like to see more details about that journey, here's my other thread on it. As often seems to be the case, his chemo appointments are a 30-60 minute...

Hey everyone -- so after almost a year of managing IBD, my cat, Max, 14 years old, was just diagnosed with probable large cell lymphoma (waiting on cytology report, but it's almost guaranteed that's what he has). If anyone would like to see the progression of what happened leading up to this...

Hey everyone :) I’ve been posting here for a bit already regarding my boy, Max, and his IBD/suspected lymphoma. It has been really heartbreaking - and this community has been so incredibly supportive that I thought I’d take some time to introduce them here & discuss something happy for once...

Does anyone have any tips for helping a cat adjust to a recovery onesie? I have a cat who’s been overgrooming (belly, legs, feet, and under the tail) - I think due to a food allergy that was triggered a couple months ago. I’m still confirming that and experimenting with eliminating different...

Hi everyone - since mentioning this on another cat IBD thread, I've been looking into this more. When my IBD cat, Max, had his most recent flareup, I did read all about Animal Biome and the work they're doing and how many people seem to have had good results with it. But ultimately kind of...

Hey everyone -- for anyone that has dealt with either food allergies (i.e., itchy skin) or IBD, I'm wondering if you all can share your experiences of how long it took your cats' symptoms to resolve after finally finding a food that didn't trigger them? My 13-year-old was diagnosed with IBD...

Hi everyone! Not sure if this is the right place but just let me know if I should repost it somewhere else -- Does anyone have any advice for finding a reliable vet nutritionist, preferably in the NYC area? I have 13-year-old that was diagnosed with IBD earlier this year, and his sister, also...
