Hi guys! I have a silly, paranoid question. I'm taking care of a cat that is positive to feline leukemia. She had some stomach issues and I started giving her some cbd oil (did wonders for her), which I "borrowed" from my own cat. Anyway, while giving the sick kitty the oil, I touched her gums...

Hi guys! I have a kitty with a number of issues :) She had a perineal hernia fixed a few months ago, and her bowels aren't looking great - they are too wide and it's very hard for her to pass stool, so we're probably looking at megacolon. Anyways, she's been getting lactulose for quite a while...

Hi all! I have a possibly stupid question :) I know that dried egg yolk powder is supposed to be great for hairball issues and I'm wondering if adding some cooked egg yolk to my kitty's diet will have the same effect? In other words, does the powder need to be dried? I can't order the dried egg...

Hello all! My kitty was just diagnosed with a perineal hernia and issues similar to megacolon - they are not sure which came first, but her colon definitely fills up with too much stool that she isn't able to pass, so it's not clear whether this happens because of the hernia, or if megacolon...

Hello lovely cat lovers! I posted in this forum many times and you have always been more than helpful :) I have a very special kitty, with s very special set of problems and I have exhausted all the commercial options I have. First of all, I'm in Serbia (central Europe) and I have a limited...

Hi! I already posted about my kitty and her many bowel issues :) Long story short, she has lazy bowels and the muscles around her anus are a bit weak, so poop often gets stuck there and produces all kinds of painful problems. She was on lactulose for a few months, but Miralax finally arrived...

Hello! I have a kitty with stomach issues (constipation, lazy bowels, a slight widening of the colon at the very end) and I'm on a quest to find a way for her to live a normal life, without constant vet visits etc. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with a drug that could replace cisapride...

Hello to all wonderful cat lovers! I've been having numerous issues with my dearest kitty and I'm looking for suggestions. I searched the forum and didn't really find the answer to my question, but if there is one and I missed it, please share it with me :) Anyway, my kitty has trouble with...

Hi all. I read a number of posts and articles about the valerian root and I was wondering if you have any tips on how exactly to give it to the kitty? She has problems with anxiety and overgrooming and the vet suggested I try catnip. Unfortunately, she ignored it completely (the dried kind) and...

Hdllo cat lovers! I once again turn to you for help with my extra special and extra sensitive kitty. The issue is this: I need to find her a food that won't provoke her food allergies, but that is also rich in fibre. A couple of years ago, I started her on hypoallergenic food, as she is allergic...

I have a very stressed kitty and the vet recommended I use catnip to calm her down and "even her out", so to say. She's been having stomach issues and is now mostly afraid of me (frequent vet visits, laxatives, poop that won't come all the way out so I need to "help", etc) and seems to be wary...

First of all, let me start by saying that I know exactly why she is refusing to use the litter (but that doesn't really help). My kitty's been having stomach issues for almost two months, she has a low level of thyroid hormone, and her bowels aren't working properly. During the time she's been...

So this is obviously another flea question :) my kitty has skin issues, she's itchy, has food allergies etc. Anyway, she is a house cat, so I was a bit surprised this spring when I realized she had fleas. Since then, she gets regular treatments, I have cleaned the house with all sorts of...

Hi all! I can't really explain what she does well, so I'm adding a video. If I had to explain, I'd say that she tries to take a kibble in her mouth but something bothers her and she "retreats". She has been eating this food for a while now and she loves it. She also had no problem wolfing down a...

Hello! I'm posting again about a less-than-common issue my kitty has :) During this past month, she had frequent constipation, so the vet decided to check her thyroid and the blood test showed her T3 levels are low ( other hormone levels are fine). She is taking meds now and I'm hoping for the...

I've had my kitty on Acana Ranchlands for almost a week (she has allergies and this is the only food I can buy in my country that doesn't contain chicken, eggs or potatoes) and since then she has been pooping 2 or 3 times a day. She was previously on Hills d/d and pooped once a day (I wasn't...

Hello again to everyone :) I'm posting another question about cat food and allergies, hoping someone had a similar experience (I read the post about Orijen in detail, so I gather that it is a good quality food). I have a very allergic cat - chicken, grain, potatoes... - and a very limited number...

My kitty and I have been battling itchy skin for years now. Food allergies and probably something in her environment. Last month, I realized she has fleas - since she is an indoor cat, I didn't use anything to protect her, as this is only the second time we had this problem (first time, she was...

Hello! I have a kitty with multiple issues, most of them being connected to the skin. She has food allergies and is prone to over grooming  due to anxiety, and today I've realized that she also managed to find fleas in the apartment. (I've treated both her and the apartment with appropriate...

I'm aware that there are several threads here about the topic - I've read them - but my question is this. My kitty is suffering from all sorts of allergies - so far, I know it's chicken, grain, probably pork and probably a few things from the environment. So far, her food allergies died down...
