For the past few months, Tiki has been having random bouts of diarrhea (on our carpet unfortunately) with some blood. After bloodwork and an ultrasound, the doctor said it is Inflammatory Bowel Disease. He has been on antibiotic (I forget the name...metro-something or other) for 6 weeks now. We...

Hi all! This was my thread a couple weeks ago regarding my poor kitty's diarrhea problems: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...highlight=tiki The vet did some bloodwork and she said everything was perfect. She suggested trying to switch his food from Nutro Max to Royal Canin Sensitive...

Thanks for all of your advice! The vet called and his bloodwork came back perfect! I spoke to her about the Nutro food and she suggested not feeding him that brand anymore. I read some horror stories online about Nutro, and am definitely switching him to another brand!! In 3 weeks I have to...

Kat - yes, his food was recalled. This started a week before the recall announcement. But, we had been feeding him the same bag of food for like 5 months prior to that! Seems like a big coincidence that he just started getting sick the week before the recall. Anyways, we changed his food. The...

Tiki is 3 years old. He eats NutroMax dry food. I checked the fiber and it says 3%. Is that good or bad?? We have an appt tomorrow night at the vet! I was also thinking IBS or IBD. The vet says the next step is a blood test...I really hope it is nothing serious!!!

For about a month and a half, Tiki has been having problems with his stomach. He will cry and cry for a few minutes and then poop on the floor. It is very loose stools and has some drops of red blood, which I assume is blood from straining. About month ago we saw the vet. The stool sample...

Yes, I was chalking that up to kitten behavior the last time. And he was OK for a while...now it is starting again. As far as my husband's allergies, he is 100% fine. No allergies whatsoever. I think he became immune to Tiki! So, he does interact with him...but now not so much, because of the...

Oops, just saw the post above that is helpful for me!!

My husband is fed up! Tiki is 3 years old. He has always done the "normal" cat biting...when he is being petted, he will sometimes bite after a while to signal he is DONE with the petting, lol. But he has some aggression with my husband that is not normal. He will jump up and bite his...

I am worried. He grabbed it off the table, and ate half of it! It is one of those fat rubberbands. Will he be OK? Should I call the vet?? Thanks!

Tiki is my one year old SIberian kittie. He plays around and bites a bit...and when we are petting him and he gets annoyed he will bite to let us know to leave him alone. First of all, is this normal?? Lately though, when my husband is just sitting there not even paying attention or petting...

His breath has been nasty lately! His teeth look fine...no tartar, etc. Just bad breath. Any treats that will give him fresh breath? Thanks!

We are going to my husbands parents house and were thinking of taking Tiki for the ride. Is it a bad idea? Will he be real confused? We have a travel litter box we can bring....do you think he will use it?? Anyone have experience with this? Thanks so much!!

Yes, he is scratching by his food bowl! Thats funny! I have never seen that before! OK, I will just keep an eye on him now....thanks for the reassurance!

Tiki is 4 months old and has had his first two sets of shots previously with the woman we bought him from. We took him for his check up last night. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring his shot records with me...so the vet gave him a distemper (just in case....even though I told her he had two...

Right now Tiki uses Swheat Scoop, and he likes it...but I am thnking of tryng WBCL. I like the texture of SS and am wondering if WBCL is similar? Or is it pellet type litter? Thanks!

My husband is having a slight reaction to our new kitten...he is getting hives on a very localized section of his neck. Same spot each time. We got a Siberian kitten, which is supposed to have less of the protein in their dander that causes allergies, so I was hoping my husband would be 100% OK...

Does anyone else do this? Tiki has had a little bit of diarrhea and I like to wipe his bottom when he is done. Are baby wipes safe for this?? I have just been using a wet paper towel and it is not doing the trick....THanks!

I get to take my new kittie home on Friday. I am so excited but so nervous about getting him all the right supplies! I actually bought Swheat Scoop ADN Feline Pine....which does everyone prefer? Or is there another litter that blows these two out of the water?? Thanks!

I have never owned a cat and am picking our new kitten up next Saturday. I need to get all of the kittie necessities. I know the basics...litter box, scratching post, toys, etc...but can someone tell me some of the things that I might not think of at first?? Any recommendations for types of...
