    4 year old domestic shorthair sitting with shoulders back a lot.

    My 4 year old black domestic shorthair, Meemo, just had a really bad upper respiratory infection two weeks ago. He has recovered but now he is sitting seemingly uncomfortably at times with his paws up at his chest and shoulders up and back and breathing seems to be quick and shallow. I'm...

    How To Get My Cat To Eat Enough For Insulin?? Food/treat Issues

    It may be 20 cal per pound for indoor cat, but still 10-20 cal for some treats until I can eat him off them. I watched my cameras all day while working..he has not touched the Nutro dry food

    How To Get My Cat To Eat Enough For Insulin?? Food/treat Issues

    Also to an earlier post, I have to disagree respectfully that one Temptations treat is equivalent to a frosting covered sugar cookie for a human. Temptation treats are 2 cal per treat.

    I’m terrified of low blood sugar with Tigger while I’m gone...he’s on the lowest dose although I guess half a unit is actually a lower dose but I’m not changing anything without vet knowledge!!

    I have tried the tiki with sardines and one with mackerel...lead balloons...I just don’t think my babies will ever go for their ancestral food from the wild...they are suburban Americanized junk food eaters, although I tried to find good dry food not like meow mix garbage :(. Once they’ve...

    I did read something that after insulin started appetite will decrease as they don't feel compelled to eat for sugar or something like that? OH also, The doctor did say Purina has a 10% carb dry food. Purina DM. AND Dr Elseys (love their litter) just came out with a food "Clean Protein"...
