    Unbearable Decision to put our sweet girl down

    Thank you all. A week has past already, I can't believe it. I find myself doing the little things like making sure the door is shut or the dog gate is open for her to get through. Today would have been her 16th birthday. We talked about this day with my 5yr old for weeks. The only good thing out...

    Unbearable Decision to put our sweet girl down

    Thank you so much. I am still struggling. I imagine it will take time. I've never had a pet for so long.

    Unbearable Decision to put our sweet girl down

    Thank you for your kind words. I too even second guessed the growth surgery last fall afterwards. She had broken a leg when she was 1 and fell from our loft apartment and had a pin put in (now I sound like a terrible parent) so maybe she did have more brittle bones. If she had been younger I...

    Unbearable Decision to put our sweet girl down

    Yesterday our sweet Oreo shattered her femur. We think that our 6mo old puppy, who never bothers or jumps on the cat really, had jumped up on the window on her bed and hit her just right with his paw. We didn't see it happen, so we can't be sure. Oreo would turn 16yrs old next week. She was...

    How to switch up wet food

    Oh my gosh...my cat gobbled up the Tiki Cat for the first week. Now we're on day 2 of Tiki Cat only...and she's decided she doesn't want it anymore...and refusing the eat it but now gobbling up the FF I put down. Is she being finicky? Of course this is after I got a sweet deal for like 50 cents...

    How to switch up wet food

    She had vomited on FF a couple timed after being on it for over a month, you are right maybe one of the flavors didn't agree. The weird poo accident happened last week, she had a meow cry, and I went to find she had yellow softer poop in the box and then had poop outside the box, like she...

    How to switch up wet food

    So our 15yr old cat has been eating dry all her life. In the past when we tried to switch to wet, we tried a couple brands and she'd vomit. She had surgery in Sept and unexpectedly had a tooth out, so we fed her Fancy Feast as she couldn't eat the kibble. She does like 4 varieties, and has...

    Can UTIs cause pooping issues?

    Thanks! Yes, cats are strange creatures...too smart!!! Lol! The strange meows always stop once I come in the room...so I would hope if it was really painful...they would be continuing? Will keep an eye it! I think she heard us talking about a 2nd dog and this is her way of stopping it 🤪

    Can UTIs cause pooping issues?

    Here's Oreo :) Will keep you posted. Her poop from today looks better/darker. Maybe a food variety didn't agree with her? Maybe her weird meows are her getting old and crazy lol. I have a dog with IBD...so I'm used to inconclusive things, weird poos and vomiting unfortunately with her! Oreo has...

    Can UTIs cause pooping issues?

    So we went to the vet today. They were unable to get a urine sample, but she said last time that she only had bacteria in her urine (not the blood cells you'd usually aee with an infection) and since she was going to get antibiotics for the tooth removal anyway, that's why they used Covenia to...

    Can UTIs cause pooping issues?

    We did do a fecal sample back then too...I will have to ask what all they looked for but it did come back clean. The growth was on her on back and was completely benign, yay for that! The strange meowing is usually downstairs where her litter box is. I've seen her strange meowing down there...

    Can UTIs cause pooping issues?

    Our 15yr old cat recently had a growth removed and a tooth extracted, and it was discovered she had a UTI too. They gave her the shot of antibiotics...its been about 2mo and now she is making weird meows and I went downstairs and there was a small pile of poo outside the box, and a small bit...

    How To Mix In New Flavors?

    We're new to the wet food game. Our cat had an unexpected tooth extraction while she went in for something else...so we switched pretty abruptly because she wouldn't eat wet kibble. So, we are feeding FF Classic Chicken Pate and she gets a little bit of kibble overnight for our sanity. She is...

    Potty Accidents After Surgery - Please Tell Me Will Return To Normal!

    We did get a new litter box that is like half the size of her current one...it was the smallest we could find (like 4 or 5 inches?)...so that is an idea to craft something up even smaller. I will see how she goes with the soft cone on.

    Potty Accidents After Surgery - Please Tell Me Will Return To Normal!

    Oreo (15yrs) had surgery on Wednesday last week to remove 3 growths on her back, and ended up needing a tooth removed. She pooped and peed in the litterbox right when we got home just fine, and pee a couple times after. Friday night she peed all over the towel she was laying on. I feel like the...

    How Long To Give Pain Meds After Surgery/bowel Movements Returning To Normal

    We will see how she does today without them. Of course our vet isn't open on Saturdays to ask them! And, once we took the bodysuit off, she pooped! I really think it was too restrictive and she kept getting her foot stuck in it...so we made something out of a baby onsie that just slides on her...

    How Long To Give Pain Meds After Surgery/bowel Movements Returning To Normal

    Hey guys. Sorry I have 100 questions! Oreo had surgery Wed for a couple small growth removals, and we found out she had an absorptive lesion and had to remove a tooth also. They said to give the oral pain meds as needed 8-12hrs. She seemed to be doing good today, we just gave her a dose, and its...
