Hello everyone! A little over a week ago I noticed that my cat has some swelling on his gums. I don’t know if it’s been there for a longer period of time, so I can’t tell. I also don’t know if he had his tooth there before or if he lost it and it could be caused by him losing his tooth. I was...

Hello everyone! The only reason I am writing this is needing reassurance, really. My heart cat, Simba, will turn 7 in June. He is a healthy and happy cat. A few days ago I noticed this (picture attached) and objectively it looks like he had lost his front tooth and it caused a little bit of...

Hello everyone! My cat just got into the garbage and ate some mouldy food. It was some week old soup. There isn’t a lot of mould but there is some. He ate approximately 2 table spoons or so I can’t tell for sure. It happened like 20 minutes ago and for now he acts fine. I can’t take him to the...

Hello there. Almost two weeks ago I noticed two scabs on one of my cats’ head. They weren’t puncture wounds, they weren’t open wounds at all, just small scabs. They didn’t look like a bite or any kind of puncture wound at all. I do believe that at first there was one scab, then the other one...

Hello guys! I have four cats. They have never been vaccinated even though they are allowed outdoors. Now I want to vaccinate all of them but I have serious concerns about FISS development. I know about non-adjuvanted vaccines but in Ukraine we don’t have any non-adjuvanted rabies vaccines. So...

Hi guys! So I noticed today that one of my cat’s have these wounds on his head. They seem to be shaped differently and honestly it just looks like he scratched them himself, considering he has flea allergy and it could be affecting him now. I do think I saw one wound a few days ago and then the...

Hi! My healthy 2.5 years old female cat is having diarrhea all of a sudden. It’s currently 11 am and she had diarrhea 4 times since 6 am. What’s weird is that it’s really really small amounts, it’s watery and sometimes has mucus in it but it’s really a few drops so not much. The poop looks...

My cat Waffle is young and healthy female cat. She is 2 and a half years old. She has her phosphorus elevated a bit though and we can’t really figure out why. Blood tests are all normal, renal markers are all within the normal range except for phosphorus. I feed her homemade raw diet if it...

I’ve read a bunch or articles about that but I still can’t understand one thing, which may be essential. For example, you should add 3g of eggshell powder to every 1 pound of boneless meat. What exactly is considered boneless meat? Just chicken thighs (for example) or is it chicken thighs +...

Hi there! So, my oldest cat got diagnosed with early stage of CKD a month ago. Yesterday we were at the vets to check her kidney values to see, if it’s increasing, or dropping or staying the same after medication and diet changes. Luckily, they have dropped a little bit, which is a good sign...

My cat is 11.5 or 12.5 years old. She is healthy and happy and has no signs of any illness. We did her annual checkup and found that all her kidney values are increased. Her creatinine is 184.2 (70-165), her urea is 17.5 (5.4-12.1) and her phosphorus is 1.6 (0.9-1.5). My vet told me it’s stage 2...

My senior kitty was diagnosed with stage 2 CKD today. I’m beyond devastated. I know that cats with CKD may live long and happy lives but I’m just so hurt that my baby isn’t fine. Literally crying right now. I feed my cats homemade raw food. I don’t want to feed her dry food or prescription...

Hi there! I’m going to the vets with my kitty in a few days for her annual check-up. We are going to do heart and abdominal ultrasounds, also blood tests. Sodium and potassium are not the part of regular blood tests, I’m wondering if I should ask my vet to check this levels? My cat is 11 or 12...

So, I fed my cats using their lick mats, then I left two of them in the room with it and went to my cabinet to work. Two hours later I came back to them and found lick mats on the floor with some parts missing. These pieces are nowhere to be found, so I'm pretty sure they ate them. Here's the...

Hi there guys! I’ve been feeding my cats raw food since June ‘22. They eat home cooked raw food (already full of moisture + mixed with additional water) and then I add water to their bowls every time they eat to make it soupy and be sure they get all the moisture they need. That’s why my cats...

Hi there! So, a little backstory here. I’ve been feeding my cats home cooked raw food since June 2022. They ate chicken based food all this time, cause I couldn’t find any other meat in our town. I know, how important rotation is. A week ago I decided to go to another town and buy meat for...

Hi there! Recently both of my 2 year old cats had their blood checked and both of them had a little bit elevated creatinine level. On the IRIS scale it is already stage 2 CKD. Me and my vet are very confused because of these results. But we think that raw food can be the one to blame (I switched...
