I am so sorry! Sending you a hug! I am going thru an abdominal tumor diagnosis for my girl as well. I went to my local specialty pet store and bought some freeze dried white fish toppers and have been crumbling that into wet food to entice her to eat. It’s such a difficult time and I...
Just wanted to post an update so far everything is as normal as we can make it for her. She is still interested in eating and drinking and we are spending as much time with her as we can. I have been doing some extra special things with her like special window time to watch birds though she...
It could be so many things - an allergy to food or a filler in the food. You could do a food trial where you just try a hydrolyzed diet and see if that makes any difference. I also was trying something called ultra oil skin and coat - if your cat would be OK with it in the wet food you could...
I spoke to the vet. I re confirmed and she said the tumor is quite large, aprox size of my fist, and it's central abdomen amoungst her intestines but not in the intestines if that makes sense. She said it's fiberous and likely has adhesions. She said I could seek out a surgery consult at the...
my last cat lived to be 23. I fed her dry food for the majority of her life, I just didn't know any better. She was diagnosed with CKD when she turned 16 and with a kidney supplement and sub q fluids later on into the CKD diagnosis she made it to 23. She was tired the day she passed, and I...
Hi Everyone
My girl is aprox 16 years old. She is a well managed diabetic. She has been loosing weight recently and when I took her in 2 months ago for a full check up and blood work they said she was in the early stages of kidney disease. I have had a previous cat with CKD and they started...
I have multiples around the house. Not sure if they help or not. We never open windows, no candles, cleaning chemicals only use steam mop for wood floors
Hi!
Gosh, I'm researching like crazy. My cat also has severe allergies - hers were determined to be environmental. What test did you do for the food allergy? My derm told me the food test isn't that reliable for cats and somewhat uncomfortable because they have to put some kind of string in...
I just picked thru the stuff I have thawed so I can take pictures on the next batch. They are small pieces but some were sharp and pointed and it kinda scared me.
I have never come across this with the raw I have purchased from her to date. I did text to let her know and I'll probably gather...
Hi everyone! My kitty has severe allergies. We went thru the entire process over 2 years ago. We tried the easy simple stuff first, regular claratin, regular zyrtec, steroids and when all of those weren't strong enough we had to pursue an animal dermatologist. We went ahead with the allergy...
I purchase my raw from my local pet store - she has it made up by a local butcher. Recently she changed to a different butcher and I have been finding sharp small pieces of bone. I now have to go thru it all with my fingers first before serving. I have alerted her as well and told her he...
Hi everyone!
My local pet store just started carrying a brand of raw cat food by the company Lotus - she says it's very similar to rad cat - wondering if anyone has tried it yet?
@BlackCatOp yes I have both sets of blood work. The vet mentioned some scary things it could be but my mind was racing and I had nothing to write what she was saying on. No idea of the atopica could cause this but she seemed pretty concerned.
Hi everyone! We went to the vet today and did a x ray. The vet said there is shading in her right lung very similar to something she had about two years ago when they suspected she has asthma. We had to see an internal medicine specialist who suggested we first try a z pack from a compounding...
My cat has severe allergies as well. I had to take her to an animal dermatologist. Your cat needs help! It's horrible to be itchy and causing sores and stuff. Please talk to your vet about allergy testing as well as atopica for cats. I use the dog version for my cat because that comes in a...
