I tried searching for this question in various ways and didn't find a thread. Maybe I was looking up the wrong words. How often do you change the water in your water fountain? Do you fully clean it every time you change the water? Do you only clean it sometimes and change the water more often...

Hi, Our cat Molly, who is about 14 years old, has been getting monthly Solensia injections for about a year. She has very bad arthritis. She also gets Gabapentin twice a day and hyperthryoid meds. Recently, I noticed her ankle joints were crazy swollen. I took her to the vet where they had...

I have posted about my sweet Orange before. He was "diagnosed" back in March of 2023 with possible IBD or possible SCL. The ultrasound doctor (forgive my lack of correct medical terminology) said it was "consistent with IBD" but that we couldn't rule out SCL without a biopsy. We chose not to do...

Hi, I feel kind of stupid for posting this because I've dealt with cat acne with various cats over the years. With this particular cat, we've dealt with cat acne with her a bit over the years and she hasn't had any issues since I switched to stainless steel plates a few years ago. Usually...

Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong forum and feel free to move it. Just wanted to let everyone know that Chewy is now available in Canada. I was just on the website and saw a new pull down tab that said USA. I clicked and lo and behold, you can now order from Chewy if you are in Canada...

I've been trying to figure out how to more accurately cut a few of my cat's pills in quarters because pill cutters never work for me (I've tried many). I've actually given up on using pill cutters all together because even when I'm only cutting them in half, it's not accurate and half the time...

It has been many decades since I have had a kitten, so forgive me for my ignorance. We (unintentionally) adopted a small kitten last year in September. He's now about a year old and he is fully integrated into our house. We love him. He's funny and sweet and a little purr machine. He plays fetch...

Hi, Happy Friday. Our gal, Molly has had about 4 (maybe it's been 5?) Solensia injections. The first 3 months, it was amazing! She was more active and getting up in her old spots she liked to bird watch from, but the past couple weeks she seems to be back to the state she was before the...

Hi. Our 13 year old Tuxedo lady is overweight. She weighs a whopping 11.60 pounds, which I know does not seem like a lot, but it is quite a lot for her. She should weigh around 8-9 pounds. She has very bad arthritis and is on Solensia (it has helped) and Gabapentin twice daily. She is also on...

Hi, I know we talk a lot about chronic kidney disease along with protein and phosphorus amounts here for cats who won't eat the prescription renal food. As we all know, it can be extremely overwhelming when your cat is diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and even more so when your precious...

Hi! I had my husband take two videos of me pilling our two cats for a friend who just recently has to start pilling his cat and he and his cat are not great at it. I thought I would post this in case it helps anyone in the future. My apologies because I think I say a swear word at one point...

Hi, I'm going to apologize in advance if this is a long winded post. I did try to look this up via the search, but didn't quite find the answer I was looking for. Here's the situation: We took our sweet old lady (13 or 14), Molly, in for her monthly Solensia injection (her 3rd one) on...

Hi, I'm wondering if I am going about this the wrong way. Here's the situation: We have a now 10 month old kitten, who we have had since he was 4 months. He loves to chase and surprise pounce the elders (13 and 15), which they obviously do not care for. He often does behave himself and...

Our little tuxedo lady has really bad dandruff. She is 13, hyperthyroid, beginning CKD and bad arthritis. She takes methimazole twice daily, along with Gabapentin twice a day. She is on the Solensia injection monthly, which has helped her tremendously. I think because of the arthritis and the...

Costco has not had much wet cat food for the entire pandemic. I know they stopped carrying Friskies and Fancy Feast for a long time. Just wanted to let people know that I just spotted a 24 pack for $28.99 at my local Costco in the PNW. Not sure how long they will have it or if this means they...

I didn't find a similar thread like this, so I apologize if it already exists! I know, I know. We don't have "favorites". Neither do I. ;) But some touch our hearts a little differently. Here's my sweet Bubby that we lost in November of 2021 from kidney disease. He was 18. I found him when he...

Just wanted to give an update to my last post, in case this helps anyone in the future. I spoke with our regular vet and she said that even though kidney levels are down, he still is considered to have CKD since he previously had levels at "beginning stages". It's a lot of overwhelming stuff...

Hi, I apologize in advance as this is probably a very long post. First some history before I get into my question: We have lost 3 cats in an 18 month span during the pandemic (lymphoma, CKD and then another confirmed gastro disease (I can't remember the name) that has only been recently...
