When I was a kid back in the 60s, giving your cat a bowl of milk was de rigeur... very accepted and most everyone did it.   I remember spending many times watching the cats of my childhood happily lap up a full bowl of milk and walk away satisfied.  Giving them water was unheard of.   They never...

Right now I have my cats on Holistic Select canned.   I would like them to have some raw in their diet because their are nutrients that canned cannot provide. So maybe one week a month I wanted to feed Rad Cat since that is what I could afford.     My concerns are twofold.   Are their tolerance...

Well I have been on this project today to find a different canned food than the Wellness chicken or turkey for my cats.   It has to be the large 13 oz cans, minimum fruit/veggie fillers, in fact minimum everything except meat and the required vitamins.   So all I could come up with that was...

A family posted some cards on the street of a missing cat many months ago. Twice this month a cat that looks similar to the one in the card showed up on my back patio. My 2 cats start hissing at him when they see him. Anyway I called the number on the card and sent a photo to the people...

I guess cats don`t sweat - at least the way we do.   But would their bodies be losing fluids at a faster clip in order to regulate body temp on hot days.  And if so .... to take this one step further .... how about if they are running a fever - would it be wise to adjust the volume of subQ upward?

Dr. Kris,  certainly this is a lowest priority question so only respond if you have a moment and the inclination at the end of the session. For starters your enthusiasm for what you do is quite evident - you have definitely found your calling in life.    I just find myself curious about the...

As my newbie mind recalls there are 3 different kinds of fluids.  The one I have heard of is Lactated Ringers (is that a brand name?)  What are the other 2 and when are they called for? Thanks!

Dear Dr. Kris, Assuming we have a cat with strong genes who luckily inherited 2 strong and healthy kidneys, what do you think the impact would be -over time- of a daily diet consisting of the following ingredients that were taken from the AAFCO approved label of one of the most popular brands...

Dr. Kris, In your esteemed view, are we not seeing more kidney-related disease than ever before in cats at levels that are quite alarming, especially given that many of these chronic ailments are appearing in cats who should still be in the prime of life 7-12 years old?    If you believe this...

I have tried those virbac cylinders and they seem kind of good.  I was wondering if anyone tried PlaqueOff made from seaweed.  Seems almost to good to be true

Can the folks with experience using pred please give me some advice with it. I understand it acts as a diuretic.   With a cat that is not drinking on their own do you syringe water with the pred or give subqs?  It is important to avoid dehydration and I am afraid that prednisone will make...

I want to discuss why a cat would not eat (or eats very little) though it goes to the bowl.   This means the cat has an appetite but for some reason does not chow down normally.    I am not talking about a cat that totally has NO appetite.  I am not talking about a cat being plainly finicky. My...

The woman that holds the record for the oldest known living cat at 29 when asked what her secret was she said aloe vera juice.   I have used it for myself and cats without a problem.  Of course I get the preservative free one from GNC. The healing properties of aloe is well documented.   I have...

I would love to hear from anyone that has a cat or cats that has been on raw the entire cats life.   Minimal or no exposure to commercial food ever with the exception of commercial raw with no fruit/vegetable fillers - such as RadCat. Thanks
