Goodness, I didn't post this to be a flamefest, just that there was an alternative out there that was coming out this month that some people may want to ask their vets about, and my vet was excited about it and told me about it, since I had 2 HT cats who didn't do well on the meds, and who were...

My vet was excited about this new option for hyperthyroid kitties, and she told me about since we lost 2 of our elderly girls to it. It's made by Hill's, and apparently is quite promising from what she said. I know I'm not here much anymore (life has gotten so busy! and our other 2 girls are...

I stumbled across this while using the "Dog Food Advisor" website, and boy, I wish I had had this when I was looking for a cat food: " Mike Sagman June 23, 2011 at 6:16 pm Hi Michaela… Not sure why your package is showing canola. I believe Merrick removed canola and added chicken fat to its...

I was wondering too. Our Bird had idiopathic cystitis (hope I spelled that right), and taking Cosequin twice a day soothed it enough that she quit peeing all over the house. I just mixed it in some canned catfood, and she loved it. We were also at the end of our rope with her.

Well, now I know why he wasn't so hot on feeding... he came down with a stuffy nose last night. Took him to the vet today and he's on Clavamox for a week . The syringe feeding continues...if you happen to read this and would, please say a prayer for little Burt . 20 cc's seems to be all he...

Okay, I got in 20cc's, let him play (he's definitely perking up -*zingy!!*), he peed, he pooped, he got his rear end washed , I got 4 more cc's in him, and he was ready to sleep, so I quit. He's curled up on his "hot hands" pillow, he's got a little water and a little canned food...finally, bed...

Okay, just to make sure I'm doing this right (according to the kitten rescue link here) Bert (13.5 ounces) should be eating 26 cc's of formula 4 times a day? *looks at kitten, looks at how much 26 ounces in and wonders how it will fit*. It's been a while , any help would be appreciated to make...

Add me to the group. Butterbean has early renal disease (diagnosed today). I am having a horrible time finding a fish free (no fish of any kind), renal friendly diet. Royal Canin used to make one, but they changed it. Any suggestions for a food that would work would be appreciated. .

I'm so sorry! You did do the right thing. It's taken me a bit to settle down after having to make that decision for Bird, but I've accepted that yes, I did the best thing for her, as much as I hate it. I pray that you get the same peace about Maverick very soon .

Thank you for the support, everyone . This has not been easy. Two cats in one year, first her "foster" baby Meggie, and now Bird...*sigh*

Our 16 year old calico, Tweety "Bird", had to be put down Monday. We don't know what happened, as all her blood work and her x-ray came back fine- it was like something went wrong in her brain. She couldn't keep her body temp regulated, nor her hydration, despite fluids. Bird was my one cat who...

I am so sorry!

Yeah, that makes the Felidae with the .10 look pretty good...guess it's back to Felidae Chicken and Rice *crosses fingers*.

Judging by the size of the sifting grate in mine, and the last (and only, lol) bag of Feline Pine I got a few years ago, I would have thought that the Feline Pine would be too big, but maybe the pellets are smaller now (that was my problem with it, it didn't "cover" well, peew), or the Swheat...

I got my response, and it's a bit above the recommended .085 ideal Sharky told me a while back. Oh well... "Hello, Please know that the Green Pea & Duck Dry Formula has an average magnesium of .14%. Have a great day! Sincerely, Kristi Choy, B.S. Animal Nutrition Natural Balance Pet...

Thanks so much for responding! I found 2 websites that said it was .10, so that would be the same as all the others I've looked at . I am waiting on the company email to give me the official word, but I may just have to try Felidae again, now that she's on the Cosamin DS, and see how it goes...

Thanks- I have emailed them, but no answer as of yet. I was hoping maybe someone could put up a pic of the label :P . I'm getting desperate for a new food! Dang Nutro, why'd they have to go and add fish oil?

Hi! I am on a seemingly perpetual search for a dry, fish (any and everything fish) free, UTI friendly cat food. It's starting to look like price doesn't matter either *sigh*. I have found that California Natural and Kirkland Signature both have Magnesium levels of .10, same as the Felidae I was...

Plus, even if they did kill the snake, I don't think you can really blame them too much...they probably spend a lot of time crawling around in dark, enclosed places like that, and with a 6 foot snake coming to visit, I imagine it's freak out and kill first and ask questions later... Just sayin'...

I have one "bottle baby" who is now 10 years old, and she loves to give "kisses" on the nose, and wherever else she can get to, lol. If she's really sappy, it turns into a full blown washing, and you'd better sit still! Butterbean will give a me a face washing first thing in the morning (on my...
