    Lucky's Bumps

    She couldn't diagnose without doing a biopsy - probably part of the $450. I had hoped someone here might have had experience with bumps like this.

    Lucky's Bumps

    Can anyone tell me what's going on with Lucky? He started getting bumps on his body several years ago, and some have gotten quite large. I asked the vet about them; she seemed unconcerned but offered to remove them for $450. 🙄 I'm concerned they might burst or one of the other cats might stick a...

    Trying to figure out a schedule to feed my 3 cats

    Budget for microchip feeders. They are pricey but really make feeding specialty diets easy. The feeder is closed until activated by a tag on the cat's collar when the cat goes to eat. We got one for Midget to keep Louie from gobbling up her food. In the meantime, can you keep them in separate...

    Cat started prednisolone and vomiting has gotten worse. Any advice is appreciated

    Possibly the steroid pill upset her stomach? I have an older cat with the same issue. She gets dexamethasone injections every 4 days, and Cerenia every couple of days. The Cerenia tablets are off-label for cats, but they improve her quality of life. I feed her Tiki cat velvet mousse cat food...

    12-year old cat won't eat, blood work / ultrasound w/ biopsy done - all normal

    Sorry your baby isn't feeling well. I just wanted to ask about an appetite stimulant. We have used Mirtazapine topical on fur babies who are having appetite issues. Two of our sensitive-tummy kitties take Cerenia. We dealt with pancreatitis a few years ago with Bubba. He was given antinausea...

    Drooping tail, painful backside

    Midget gets an irritated bottom and will creep around with her tail clamped down. Are you able to look at Bella for irritation? We have to sponge-bathe Midget's rear and occasionally apply antibiotic ointment. If Bella has clogged glands, you may be able to express them yourself. I imagine there...

    Dry Food - if so terrible, why do vets suggest it?

    Hi, Chloenola. I'm so sorry your kitty is having issues. I'm not a vet, but I'll share some things I learned with my cats. We had a sugar kitty who was difficult to transition to wet food. We eventually got him there, but it took a while. We did things like put some kibble under the wet food...

    The cost of my rescues food is gone crazy, any suggestions?

    I recommend a switch to Fancy Feast pate or Friskies pate. They are soy, starch, gluten, and grain free. We had a sugar kitty, and we went through a crash course on how most foods are unhealthy for cats. Surprisingly, Friskies pate was one of the canned foods "approved" by several feline...
