    Prednisone and Supplements?

    Haven't been on the forums in awhile and unfortunately am back now in hopes of some advice. I will of course ask my vet for his opinion tomorrow as well, just wanted some viewpoints from you guys here. Yesterday I took my cat Gizmo in for what was supposed to be a routine check up, only to find...

    Neutered Male Cat Mounting Behavior

    So. Gizmo was neutered at 10 weeks old and he's 2 years old now. I introduced a 7 month old kitten Stevie back in December who had been very recently spayed, though she did go through one heat cycle before her previous owner had her spayed. For all intents and purposes, they got along very...

    Anybody Else Have A Scarfer?

    Without the barf that usually follows! Gizmo is a raw/canned fed boy who can polish off a meal in as little as 30 seconds. One time I placed his dish down, turned away briefly to look at my phone, and when I turned back he was already finished and looking around his bowl for any scraps he may...

    Raw Food And Stool Production

    Long story short, Gizmo has always had digestive issues since he was adopted at 10 weeks old. As of December '17, I've been able to keep it under control with a primarily raw fed diet, lower fat proteins, and meals spaced out AT LEAST 5 hours apart. He can have a little bit of canned food which...

    Potential Scratched Eye?

    It's been nearly two months since I added a new cat to the family. They enjoy rough play and plenty of bunny kicks but they do still need to be separated when Gizmo, the bigger of the two, starts to think he can continuously pin Stevie down so I do try to always monitor their play time. Tonight...

    How Many Ounces To Feed?

    I've been preparing my boy homemade raw with Alnutrin for about a month now and am still in the learning process of how much to give him. With raw fed cats, does the 20-25 calories per pound still apply? Gizmo is a healthy 13lbs so he would need 260 calories a day, correct? My raw recipe comes...

    New Kitten Gave Resident Cat A Uri For Christmas

    We adopted a 6 month old kitten from a co-worker who became extremely allergic to her cats and had to find them new homes. I've been extremely lucky in introducing Stevie to my resident cat Gizmo, as it's only been a week and they're happily playing and observing each other under my supervision...

    Alnutrin Help

    I've just purchased my very first grinder online (!!!) and a couple bags of Alnutrin with eggshell calcium. What I intend to do is to buy meat in bulk plus the chicken livers that Alnutrin calls for and then of course follow the directions on their site, portion it out, and freeze. I realize...

    High Fiber Cat Food

    A bit of background: I first got Gizmo when he was 10 weeks old from a shelter. He's always had soft loose stool that would be mucus-y for 4-5 days and then firm back up to being about 80% normal. With my vet's recommendation we treated it as a food allergy and he went on Hill's I/D food but...

    GI Issues and Thickening Agents

    A bit of background: I adopted Gizmo when he was just under 3 months from an animal shelter a town over. Admittedly I hadn't asked them hardly any questions about him aside from when he was due for his next round of vaccinations and I went off on my way. Initially, they had him on Hill's Ideal...
