    hair loss and pigment change

    Originally the vet thought the pain meds had damaged Bob's kidneys. That was when his feet cracked, dried and peeled off. Since I read about CRF I can see that it is not a contagious disease but a problem with kidney failure. The pain medicine is Metacam. He took 0.3 ml every 24 hours for...

    hair loss and pigment change

    I looked up CRF and I don't think it sounds like what he has. I think I will give him a bit more time and if any other symptom pops up take him back to the vet.

    hair loss and pigment change

    I think I need to search out crf. I don't even know if it is contagious. Thank you, mews2much.

    hair loss and pigment change

    So, no one must have any clues. I was hoping this has happened with one of you before.

    hair loss and pigment change

    My cat, Bob, got injured a couple months ago. He was on the counter with the kittens and one of them pushed him off. He pulled a ligament in his shoulder. I took him immediately to the vet and he put him on a pain medication after doing x-rays to be sure there was no break. The pain meds...

    Thank you! Samuel has recently started vomiting fresh food right after he eats. I will try elevating his bowl.

    long term loose stool

    I am using FloraMore. My vet seemed thrilled with that brand but I will check out the ingredients. Samuel is on day two without his diarrhea pill (Centrine). I will see how the day progresses. He is also now on only 3 food ingredients. . . . . peas, duck and chicken.

    long term loose stool

    I searched it out and it is probiotics. My cats already take probiotics. I may wait a while before I give a different kind a shot.

    long term loose stool

    My Samuel has had diarrhea for one year and 4 months. We have tried everything. We are just now switching his food to Natural Balance green pea and duck formula. We are not quite completely changed over yet, but his diarrhea is much better. I think this food looks promising. There is no...

    Probiotics?

    I use FloraMore for both me and the cats. I sprinkle the capsule over their wet food and mix it in. It tastes like cream and they love it. I split one capsule between the two of them, but the vet says they can each take whole one if I like. It is a people probiotic and the vet has approved...

    Royal Canin Green Peas Duck Formula

    Thank you all. I checked out the Natural Balance and as soon as my vet lets me, will try that one. He really thinks the issue is stress related, but wants to rule out food allergies first. He put both cats on Amitriptyline, too. We are only a couple days into that and I don't know how long...

    Royal Canin Green Peas Duck Formula

    My vet has put my cats on this formula. Does anyone know why it is only by prescription? It is a long ride to this vet's office. Do you all have another suggestion for food after we get Samuel's diarrhea problem figured out?

    Communicable diseases

    OK. . . . . . I went to the other thread and I think this article is on "Tritrichomonas foetus infection in cats" Since I just sent a fecal sample to Ohio State and they did an extended list of tests on Samuel, I think that one was ruled out. I am back to food allergies . . . . . . . . maybe.

    Communicable diseases

    I got the tests back from Ohio State. He has no communicable diseases. I am trying the FloraMore. My vet said that if the FloraMore doesn't work, I need to start looking for a different food in case he has a food allergy. That task looks very frustrating to me. I tried Felidae a long time...

    Communicable diseases

    I am going to try the Flora More on him. I still haven't heard from Ohio State. We sent in the sample a week ago.
