My 15 year old cat has had 3-5 day stay overs at the emergency hospital twice the past two years for diarrhea, vomiting and no appetite. If you have access to a good emergency hospital, it might be a good idea. She will absolutely HATE the stay, but it's good for them for treatment and...
Long time no see. Giving a little bump and an update.
Q has been back in the emergency vet for a number of days now.
She stopped eating well a few months ago, so we started feeding her whatever she would eat - even if it was fancy feast gravy.
Eventually, she was refusing that too, until it...
Kitty is eating and almost done her antibiotics. Still needing to take her pain medicine but I am starting to wonder if it is her teeth bugging her more now than the pancreatitis. On the plus side, she is doing much better.
That's awesome to know about liver and eggs. Will have to keep that in...
I could try that for sure. The Honest Kitchen goats milk is ordered and gets shipped from another city, but the raw gets shipped from within the same city, is all.
Raw Goat Milk - 1L | Big Country Raw
But I know she will take the honest kitchen goats milk. Can't say the same for this one. Plus...
This is just like my cat :) Her name is Q. She often gets called Ms Q (miscue) and cue ball. It's funny how well she recognizes her single letter name - when we took her to the emergency vet, one of the ladies across the entire building said, softly, "Is Q here?" to one of her co-workers. Q...
I loved radcat! I always wondered if they could have established in Canada and avoided the drama. But it probably would've been mentally exhausting for them at that point. I'm not sure Hare Today mails to Canada but maybe somewhere carries it. Will have to look around.
I'm actually not sure if...
Thank you. I didn't realize it was notoriously high in bone. That makes me feel better that it may not be a her-problem but a them-problem and gives me hope that I can find a food that will be a good balance between her constipation versus diarrhea. Do you know the best way to compare bone...
Thank you. This is a very information dense site.
It suggests 50% of cats with pancreatitis have low calcium levels. Maybe the high bone content wouldn't be the worst thing? Aside from the constipation concern.
The diet section only suggests that cats must eat little and often--that was more or...
Hi friends,
Please bare with me.
I have a 15 year old kitty who has just had a two month long vet adventure. This is info heavy but ultimately my question is about food :)
She went to the vet in May for a UTI, where she was not eating, throwing up, vocalizing loudly at the litter box, and...
Eastern Canada or Western? The availability tends to be different.
For dry in Canada I also highly recommend orijen. Acana is a slightly lower price range that many like too. It's by a Canadian company in Alberta called Champion Petfoods. Orijen is some of the best dry kibble in the world imo...
Hi,
For ordering different types of foods in Canada, I would recommend using Homes Alive Pets. Their website is: Pet Supplies Canada | Shop Pet Products at Homesalive.ca
I'm not affiliated with them, I've just had a good experience. This way you can order a bunch of single cans to try out. They...
Thanks for the links.
I agree it's probably stress, but I may speak to the vet again anyway like mentioned, especially if anything else crops up regarding her behaviour.
It's possible she may have a health complication as well, having been overweight for so many years.
After some searching...
Hi,
Earlier in the year I took my cat to the vet on account of assumed litter trouble, but learned she just had a mouth of resorptive lesions instead. The vet booked her in to have some teeth removed, but she noted that her belly fur was completely gone and seemed concerned about it. I told her...
Thanks for the advice. An update to this.
I think the litter vocalization was a coincidence. She probably did meow because she had trouble expressing her glands, but this was likely solved before I noticed.
Took her to the vet last Tuesday. She had a mouth full of resorptive lesions and had...
It does look a bit different. The scoop recommendations are still there though.
The bag says to feed an 11lb cat with 1.25 scoops rehydrated with 0.8 scoops worth of water. It's a bit confusing the way they've laid the chart out.
So for your 10lb cat and 6lb kitten, I would say 1 scoop per...
