Hi folks, it has been some time since I posted! Unfortunately we're having some issues with our newest family member Julian. To give some background, we adopted Julian in May of last year. He's about two years old now, and is very vocal/active but is a sweetheart. He has a great appetite and...

Hi all, I just wanted to post to get some thoughts and opinions on what to do here. We live in a small city which can have an animal issue at times. In the past, I'd set up housing in the winter for the local few (and I mean few, one or two) strays that I had historically seen in our area...

Hi all! So I've always guessed Sadie was a Torbie. Mostly because of the classic tabby forehead M. But I never knew there were different patterns of tabby! Just being ficescious, but what are your thoughts? Part of me wonders if this is classic, or ticked? P.S. her coat is darker in some areas...

One thing I've noticed about each cat family member we've had, there's a time and a place for cuddles, or what we call in our house "love fest.". Some cuddle more than others, and some It's a rare occasion. It's usually brief if it's during the day, because of course they have other important...

Hi all, While I've integrated new cats into the household in the past, this is the first time with a resident lady cat. Julian (new boy) and Sadie (resident lady) get along pretty well. While they don't sleep with each other, they'll sleep near each other each together and hang out in the same...

Hi all, After a very rought first part of the year in losing two brothers within one month, we finally made the decision to adopt again. Introducing Julian! A very calm sweet boy... But he still loves to play. Integration with the princess of the house Sadie is going well. The expected sniffs...

Hi folks, It's been a while since I've posted, it's been a few months after my two older cats passed and adjusting to the new home life. Now that I actually have time to focus on my baby girl Sadie, I'm trying to be proactive in her care. She has been on steroids for IMHA, and also has very mild...

It has been a difficult few months. After Nico passed last month, we noticed Casper was feeling ill. Then he became jaundice. We tried everything under the sun, but ultimately at age 18 we found out he had gone into liver failure. He was the last of our original three cats, and I truly believe...

Hi all, I didn't think I'd be on again so quickly after Nico passed last month, but here we are. Casper started to seem sick about two weeks after Nico passed away, and I thought he simply took it s little hard. This happened before 6 years ago when he lost his brother Sonny - he has feline...

I'm posting this now, because I don't think I can write after this afternoon. Nico has had a long, hard journey these past few years. From diabetes, to high blood pressure, to reoccurring UTIs, and finally severe IBD. This weekend, we noticed a change... It was like something shut off. Nico...

Hi all, Nico has had almost constant diarrhea since his bad UTI late October. He was on cephalosporin and then Baytril for 10 days, which cured his UTI but sadly ruined his GI tract. I've been trying everything.... S. Boulardii, Proviable, Hills Biome food, sub-q fluids, B12. He's also on...

Hi everyone! To put it bluntly (like my title lol) it's been a rough month. Work is stressful, family is crazy, I almost had sepsis (that led to an emergency surgery but I'm better now!) And a month long drawn out health battle with Nico. Third UTI in October, heavy duty antibiotics that caused...

Hi folks, Nico and I made our third trip to the vet clinic today. Long story short, the Baytril for his bad UTI destroyed his GI tract. The vet said he has nothing left, no good or bad bacteria and he was shedding the flora or lining of his stomach and intestines. This poor guy has had such a...

Hi all! I'm back, it has been a little while. I posted back in July when Nico had a pancreatitis flare up. I think he's had another, as he's seemed off since Tuesday. Just for reference, here's my previous post. https://thecatsite.com/threads/suggestions-for-pancreatitis.446529/ I have...

Hi all! So, I wanted to get thoughts on a few different B12 supplements. For the past year, I've been giving Zobaline to both my anemic/IBD kitty and my diabetic kitty. However in talking with the vet, she mentioned less expensive formulas. The one she mentioned was Nutramax Cobalequin. I know...

Hi all! I know this a subject that consistently pops up around here, but I wanted to see if I could Garner some suggestions for pancreatitis and what worked/didn't work for your furries. Nico is a diabetic, with HBP (though we'll controlled on a low dose of Amlodipine). Last week he threw up a...

Hi folks, I've been talking with Nico's vet, as he seems to have recurring UTI's ( he has diabetes so this is more common for him.) I was reading that cranberry or D-mannose is a good supplement to add to his diet to help prevent him from getting them in the future, but I'm not sure if there's a...

Hi all, Nico my diabetic cat with HBP suddenly seemed I'll this morning. This guy is usually a trooper, DM is well controlled, he's on half a unit of ProZinc and HBP also well controlled with Amlodipine. But this morning he got sick, and I noticed him going to the litter box to pee but not much...

Hello folks, I'm sorry I'm a little delayed at introductions, I came a little hot out of the gate with a sick cat. But we're better, so onto introductions! I'm Bella, cat mom to three very interesting furry kids. Casper, aka Mr. Meowgy (he is part Siamese so VERY vocal) is our oldest at 17, but...

Hi all! So two weeks ago, Sadie the torbie was very sick. She hates to throw up (diva that she is) so when she irritated her GI by eating a piece of plastic, the vomiting was followed by a hunger strike, then assisted feeding and subQ fluids for almost a week. It's been a slow road of recovery...
