Hey, I haven't been here in a while. I got a new puppy in April. He is a long hair chihuahua named Augie Doggie. He has befriended Balki. My other 3 cats are ignored by Augie & the cats couldn't care less about him. But Augie & Balki play all day. I can tell they are playing because Balki keeps...
Hi,
Lately, I have been finding heavy (calcium deposits) around the sink nozzle. It looks like snow accumulation! I have to clean the deposits every week. We have told the apartment complex, but they aren't very responsive. We are moving out soon because of the rude staff here! We don't feel...
Do Siamese stay active most of their lives? I have a flame point & he is 1yrs old now. My other 3 cats grew out of their super duper wild kitten stage by his age, but not Balki! But I'm loving his goofy personality though, so I'm actually hoping he doesn't grow out of it! He is always bouncing...
I waited patienly for Balki to behave for this photo session. So once he adjusted to his bandana, I present to you, Balki now 1 yrs old & looking like a sharp dressed man!
I work at an animal hospital. I have learned how to tune out emotions for the most part during euthanasias, I stay strong, focused, & professional for the clients. Sometimes though, I have one that really tugs at my heart. Maybe a regular client, that I have become friendly with & even a bit...
Peanut has IBD & does well on a low fat, moderate fiber diet. He does well on SD hairball control light. But, he only eats it after I beg him & follow him around. I was thinking about Wellness light, any other suggestions? I can try Hills W/D again, but I don't like the fact that it's chemically...
Balki has had chronic eye infections since he was a tiny kitten. He is 10 months old now. Medicines don't work. He goes in and out of the infections, usually kicking it on his own.
Of course the vet is highly suspicious of herpies & did a viral absorption test yesterday.
I'm interested to...
I work for a vet who recommends feeding soley dry food, stating canned food can adhere to the teeth increasing tarter etc. I've been doing research, and have been wondering about the recommendations of feeding more canned than dry. The reasons I've read being, in nature the diet consists of...
My 4 cats love it! They eat it both the canned and dry better than any food I've ever given them! Peanut, who has chronic diarrhea, now has perfectly formed and small oderless stools! Normally, he doesn't have much of an appetite, and is underweight. Now, he BEGS, which he has never done. AND...
My Balki appears to have mild chronic herpies, although he never had this confirmed. He gets mild conjunctivitis every now and again to which doesn't respond to various eye medications. In fact, the medications just seem to make his eyes more red, irritated and increases the discharge. The vet...
Just curious. I'm considering changing over completely to Innova or Wellness, and was wondering since these foods have no preservatives, how long would they keep if kept in an airtight container?
Thanks!
My guys are real fussy when it comes to canned food. I want to start making it a part of all of my cat's diet.
Also, I want to feed canned food since my Peanut has been put on Buspar for anxiety/ behavioral issues. If you want further explanation on Peanut let me know.
Anyway, I can give the...
For those of you following Peanut's story, he is feeling much better! He has gained weight, is eating normally in fact with an increased appetite, drinking plenty of water, using litterbox great, normal activity, BUT, he is very jealous over my kitten, Balki!
Peanut has always been a grumbly...
There is this tabby cat who comes to feed on my deck. He has been around for about 2 months. He is very afraid of people, but slowly over time, he will at least eat in front of me, but I can't touch him.
Well, today I opened the deck door to give him some canned food. The moment I opened the...
My peanut developed conjuntivitis about 1 month ago. Was treated w/ Neo/poly/dex. Cleared up, then re-occured. Treated w/ Terramycin. Developed an eye ulcer. Used the Terramycin 3X daily. Eyes are clear presently. My concern is is sharp decrease in appetite, large weight loss, constant growling...
I have 4 cats. 3 adults, and 1 kitten. About a year ago, I was told all the adults were slightly fat. I put them on diet food, but continued to feed free choice. They were loosing weight fine, but because one cat is a nibbler, and one cat likes to be a piggy, etc. one of the cat's actually...
