I tried a probiotic called Visbiome with my cats and once they had been on it for a couple weeks or so it seemed like there was a sudden and noticeable sharp drop off in diarrhea and vomiting. At times I did think the Visbiome might have taken things too far in the other direction and led to...

yeah in light of the update that Olga threw up, the vet has advised me to just administer the new anti-nausea for now when I pick it up in about a half hour and to hold off on re-administering the sulfacrate for the time being.

I actually got word from home that Olga just threw up, which shouldn’t be happening if she’s still inside the 24hr window since she received the Cerenia last night. So that’s worrying. I’m going to try and get back in touch with my vet and relay this info to her

Its the pill form of Cerenia. Olga did get an injectable Cerenia dose once but it’s generally the pills because I typically keep a supply of them on hand. I just spoke to my vet and she is going to look in to other anti-nausea options So far all I’ve found is 20mg omeprazole but since I was...

dosing her with anything that needs to be ingested orally is going to cause problems regardless right now I think, just because she’s not eating pill pockets right now and so pretty much any oral meds are going to have to be forced…which I hate doing. And since I’ve already got *other* stuff...

Yes, without going into too much detail, I’m not a guy who cries easily and this situation with Olga has devastated me and left me a total wreck. I have broken down in tears on the phone with the vet or in the vets office multiple times in the past ten days. I had her and her brother Boris...

thanks for the links! I have a printout with her kidney info on it but I’m at work and don’t have it handy. As far as other issues that might be contributing to the lack of appetite, She has been prone to to IBD in the recent past, which I had gotten under control with a probiotic called...

Infrequent poster here but I need help. I should warn that I’m a complete wreck from trying to handle this and this post may not be the most complete or well articulated. I’ll answer any questions I can to help fill in any blanks I may leave below I just lost one of my cats this past Christmas...

I'm in the US, Maine specifically. I guess, yes, technically I was looking at Hemp CBD oil but Im not super knowledge on the plants themselves and didn't realize hemp didn't have any THC content. I just figured it was related to marijuana and perhaps had some amount of THC in it too. I had hemp...

I'm considering trying CBD oil for one of my cats in hopes it might alleviate some persistent behavioral issues which are getting severely out of hand. However I see that there seems to be dozens of different brands of this for pets and naturally they all have conflicting customer reviews, some...

So I've been on this site for a while but am an infrequent poster...most of the posts I *have*made though have been about Boris... Boris is a neutered male, about 14 pounds and he is now nearly 8 years old.  He has been on Amitriptyline for several years after it was prescribed to him by the...

Thanks for the quick reply.  That makes me feel better as I may have to deploy the baby food tonite. 

I just wanted to check if Beechnut baby food is okay to give to my cats when they are reluctant to eat for whatever reason or need something easily digestible.  I checked the ingredients on the "chicken and chicken broth" flavor and only those items were listed, no onion powder or anything like...

A fenced in outdoor area would be great but unfortunately I'm in an apartment complex. I suppose I could chance the leash walks again to see how he handles it but I don't want to "get his hopes up" so to speak, only to have to stop again when his old behaviors resurface.

A few years back I used to take my cats outside on leashed walks. Both enjoyed this very much but I ended up stopping the practice because my male cat throws a fit once he comes back in the house, howling and trying to get back out by tearing at the windows and door for hours afterwards. Once he...

Here's a question I've had for awhile. I've heard that antifreeze is attractive to cats because of it's sweet taste, thus leading them to drink it and get poisoned. However I have also read that cats in general are unable to taste sweetness because they lost the ability through a genetic...

I have two siblings, Boris and Olga. Both are large cats, Boris weighs 15 pounds and his sister actually outweighs him at 16 pounds. Neither are overly fat but are just large cats for the most part. Boris' dominance over his sister is totally undisputed. I have to monitor them during feeding...

We had two sisters - Maddie and Smoke -when I was young who used to team up on the nieghboor's big dog. he was actually a pretty placid dalmation/english sheepdog cross named Bill that would come over to our house because my stepmother would feed him treats. well our two cats really took offense...

could the absence of your ex be causing frustration or despair which manifests as aggression? i've noticed that with cats, many different feelings, anger, boredom, hunger etc...have a tendency to manifest as aggression. if she was used to living with the both of you maybe the fact that one of...

That actually isn't the window he yowls in. it's a different one upstairs. this behavior only manifests itself in one downstairs window. This has been going on for months. I think it just stems from a desire to be outdoors mostly, we spent over an hour outside today with him on his harness, he...
