    Cat needs to gain weight. What to feed?

    My only tip (besides trial and error) is to check reviews online and check out the vet's website (if they have one) and see what sort of services they provide (nutritional counseling? Ultrasound and xray?). Also peek at what products they sell, are they in contract with certain food/med...

    Cat needs to gain weight. What to feed?

    that's good. Maybe try a different vet. There's no way for them to know it's allergies without an allergen test or trial and error with diet. It is a poor decision for your vet to simply dismiss it to allergies. My cat has been experiencing weight loss and my last vet did not care/worry enough...

    cat not eating after finishing metro / flagyl

    yes, her name is Spot, but we call her Kitty. She's about 8 and I've had her for 4 years. She was doing well but her appetite started to taper off again, I mixed in some of the Hills c/d and that night she wouldn't eat until I plopped her in the litter box and she did a big poo with lots of gas...

    Saccharomyces Boulardii use for diarrhea and GI disease (incl IBD)

    what is a good starting dose of Nexabiotic for a cat with a stool like the consistency of "sludge" ? Should I do an emergency diarrhea stop with Jarrow or a maintenance dose of Jarrow or Nexabiotic? She has had loose stool for weeks now. Flagyl is not helping. She also had a shot of Convenia for...

    Saccharomyces Boulardii use for diarrhea and GI disease (incl IBD)

    Hello, I'm sorry I can't answer the question above but I also have a question. My cat is on flagyl for stress colitis and I am scrambling to find an appropriate probiotic. Of course the vet recommends garbage Forti-flora. If I give my cat the Boulardii do I also need to give her a more...

    cat not eating after finishing metro / flagyl

    I forgot to mention the vet gave her an appetite stimulant so she was very happy to eat tonight! she loves the chicken baby food and actually had a bite from all the dishes i made for her earlier, the canned, the raw, the kibble. I hope she keeps this up tomorrow.

    cat not eating after finishing metro / flagyl

    Thanks for replies. She is actually still on Zylkene. It's OTC but it was recommended. Took her to vet today along with urine sample and fecal, she has a UTI and was given a shot of Convenia and another round of Metronidazole. I have tried warming up her food and that seems to help but...

    cat not eating after finishing metro / flagyl

    I can try taking it off but I think the side effects of seresto are usually skin related and I feel like she would have been sick from it earlier? We began seresto only after she was already acting ill and was prescribed the Metro/flagyl. Do i need to syringe feed if she's only eaten a small...

    Zylkene..

    my cat has been on Zylkene for 2 weeks now. I'm also having a difficult time telling if she isn't feeling well or if her lethargy and laziness is an effect zyklene. She was put on it along with Flagyl because she was having stress colitis with extreme irritability and bloody stools and not...

    Sudden Switch to Raw

    She has been eating strictly Rad Cat for at least 10 days. Today was her last flagyl pill, I will watch her over the weekend to see what happens stool wise because I've read flagyl can be rough on cats. I have not been giving her probiotics, I need to pick some up. Definitely on my mind. Do...

    Sudden Switch to Raw

    Hello, This is my first post here. My 8 year old cat was recently ill and was not terribly interested in food. Long story short my vet is treating it as stress colitis and she is on metronidazole/flagyl and hydrolyzed milk protein as a natural calming aid. The reason I am posting this...
