We adopted a cat in July (Named Jigglypuff, Jiggy for short) and everything was going super well. Sassy doesn't necessarily like her, but tolerates her. Jiggy would stay away and it was great. However, for the last week or so, Jiggy has been staking Sassy, literally EVERYWHERE she goes. It's...

Hey guys, My cat Sassy-Minoue, who is almost 16 has quite a few health issues (kidney failure grade 2/4, neurological issues, heart murmur grade 3 to 5/6 depending on the day it seems, breathing issues, high blood pressure, allergies which make her very itchy at time and I'm sure I'm missing...

Hi guys, so I have a question. My friend has trazadone (50mg) for her dog and would like to give some to her cats, as they're doing a 6h drive to move back here. Now, I know that trazadone is typically used on dogs and that we don't usually use it on cats (though there has been research on the...

Hi guys, So my Fat Kitty Banjo went in for some test (blood test, urine test, cardiopet PNB and xrays) as he is scheduled to had an extensive dentistry on the 19th. Well, xrays show that he has DMC. His heart is pretty large and I'm scared. We've known since the beginning that he's had heart...

Hey guys, so my girl Sassy-Minoue is now on 1/4, twice daily as an appetite stimulant. Has anyone had luck with this? She can't take Mirtazapine because of her neurological issues. So my vet is starting her on this new med, at a very low dose, just to be sure it doesn't cause any issues. She is...

Hey guys. So I adopted a 6 year old cat with urinary issues. She had A LOT of what we thought were oxalate stones, but they're struvites crystals (which is good news in a way). So she was peeing out of the litter box when she had really bad crystals. Which was understandable as she was in...

Hey guys! I have a quick question. So we adopted a special needs cat with some pretty bad urinary issues. She has roughly 50 oxalate stones in her bladder. She is currently in pain and pees outside the litter (though she is now on pain meds). My question is, when can I transition her to raw...

Hey guys, So I adopted this new kitty, her name is Jigglypuff (Jiggy for short, though her name was Cannelle). The clinic I work for had a call that the previous owner wanted to euthanize her, as she was urinating everywhere. The cat had previous urinary issues, but the owner didn't want to...

Hey guys! So i adopted a new cat! Her name is Jigglypuff. She's beautiful and so sweet. I'm hoping that she'll fit in nicely with my other two. But for right now, my main concern is how she's feeling. She is hiding in a corner in the room and won't come out. Keep in mind, she has a whole room...

Hey guys, So I have two senior cats and I would love to change their litter, but that has failed in the past. I've tried the Blue Buffalo one and the Smart Cat. I really wish the Smart Cat one worked, but every single one of them (at the time I had 3 cats) didn't like how it felt under their...

Hey guys! So my senior cat is at stage 3 kidney failure and her neurological issues have gotten worse. Right now her food bowl is on top of a small box (about 3" high) but I ordered some real ones off Etsy that will be about 5" high. She doesn't seem to mind it at all and it's suppose to help...

Hey guys, This morning I was petting Sassy and noticed a weird bump. At first glance, i thought it was a tick (even though it isn't the season for them yet) but it isn't. The bump is reddish and a little purple. It also kind of opened or started to "explode". It doesn't look pretty and I'm...

On January 26th, we lost our beloved cat, Oscar. We found him already gone on the floor early morning. He was 17 years old. He had stage 4 kidney failure, grade 5 on 6 heart murmur, IBD and hyperthyroidism. The day before, he was doing ok. He came to cuddle and we had some nice moments. There...

Hello fellow cat lovers, It's been a while since I posted. So just a brief run down on Oscar' issues : Stage 4 Kidney Failure Currently on Cerenia, Famotidine and 60ml of sub-q fluids every other day. Yesterday we went to the vets for a little checkup and to get a cyst drained. His sub-q...

Hey guys! Poor Oscar seems to be having more difficulties with his medication. He was first put on Mirtazapine, but that caused him to be very restless and have these fits of very loud and uncomfortable meows. Today we stated him on the Cyproheptadine. I read the side effects list and it...

Hey guys! Quick question. I've been giving Oscar Cerenia and Famotidine, both at the same time. My logic is if I give it to him in a pill pocket and make him swallow the pills once, it would be less stressful than doing the same process twice. I've been doing this for weeks now and I don't see...

Hello all, My old man Oscar has been meowing loudly for a little while, but not as bad as this instance. We give him Metoclopramide in a liquid form. The first night I gave it to him, he started meowing like in the video. I called the vet and she told me it wasn't a symptom. However, I had to...

Hey guys Haven't posted here in a while since I seem to always be running around all the time haha! Anywho, I found out today that my boy Oscar' kidney failure has progressed to stage 4. He's on an anti-acid and anti vomiting medication. My vet wants us to start him on fluids every 3 days...

Banjo has been fed a raw food diet for about 9-10 months. We went to the vets since he was licking himself non stop on his remaining back leg as well as this one spot on his tummy. The vet palpitated his stomach and noticed he was sensitive in the bladder and kidneys (but no inflammation). She...

I've been feeding Banjo raw for about 7-8 months now and I've been feeding him a commercial raw. He's been having roughly 100g of raw a day. He's currently at 11.5lbs but needs to be at 10-10.5lbs. I just bought some high quality raw from a very small pet food company (the lady literally makes...
