I am wondering if 'Stool Softener' would be better than Miralax? Miralax might be too harsh.  And those Stool Softener tiny gell caps would be easier to give him a dose on his paw. Just stick a needle in a gell cap and squeeze out a drop or two onto his paw--like you would use hair ball remedy. ...

Instead of using poisons, go with what Klutcheta said:  Diatomaceous Earth-FOOD GRADE.  Put it in an empty spice jar that has small holes on one side and sprinkle it on your dog or cat.  It DOES work. Look it up on the internet and plenty to read.  I even saw it in a Tractor Supply flyer. It's...

Thank you for your painstaking description of what your poor Simba has gone through!  In reading all the other stories I feel bad for the cat's suffering.  I always wonder why nobody has tried something natural instead of these chemicals, even though in some cats, there are no bad reactions. ...

Me again...........tuna juice and tuna pieces. My pickiest little girl will not eat anything but dry food until I gave her tuna juice (make sure you buy the tuna in spring water, not the oil)

Try Bonito Fish Flakes. I found them on ebay and they are pure, dehydrated fish flakes, no refrigeration needed.  Did you try a little milk sprinkled on the wet food? Also, cat nip. 

We had that problem with our orange female years ago. Solved it quickly and permanently with a little spray bottle.  After she was done and out of the box for a while, of course (not while she's in the box), we waited a few minutes and if she didn't clean her bottom within about 10 minutes, we...

I just want to throw this out there about Herpes affecting the eyes.  Do a search on this site about Lysine. I also have had long-lasting problems with a rescue (and he looks very much like your Zebb) that had ongoing Stomatitis, Upper Respiratory problems (TWO antibiotics) and 2 different kinds...

Our vet told us that canned pumpkin or yogurt with the cultures in it are a fine probiotic. Since I can't give my cats that eat dry food the pumpkin (no cat likes it alone), I can give it to the 2 that eat wet food, mixing it in. But I'd never get through a can before it went bad, so I  just go...

Haze N Blaze: Remove his teeth? That's the last remedy for Stomatitis.  But your vet said Stomatitis '...it's a possibility but since the vomiting stopped after switching him back to the hydrolized, wallet-stripping prescription canned food, he hasn't vomited.'  With that statement, it sounds...

I am so sorry to hear about your little guys. I've been trying to read all through the posts and probably haven't uncovered all of them, but I do have something to add, which I'm hoping it could lead you down another avenue to check. Someone mentioned 'Stomatitis.'  Stomatitis is nasty and...

Could that be severe Stomatitis? But it looks like the lips are affected, so I'm not sure. Definitely something to go to the vet about!

I just want to pop in here and ask if the vet checked her teeth?  Has the vet checked for Stomatitis in her mouth?  With a cat her age, she might have bad tooth/teeth or that painful Stomatitis.  I had never even heard about Stomatitis until my rescued kitten was throwing up any and all dry cat...

There have been a lot of good suggestions, but I just want to add one that I didn't see.  Is your mother in good health? Or is she suffering something that the cat can smell?

I had to reply to this. Leather is not something cats want to claw.  It's too smooth. They like carpet, wood with bark, sisal rope on a clawing post, but not smooth leather. The problem is going to come from the hind claws punching holes when they do their dig-outs playing or launching...

We only had that problem once where our young  female would not clean her bum. Hubby would take a spray bottle with water and spray it, which made her want to clean it.  A couple of times doing that and she took over the job with no spraying anymore.  She just passed away 2 years ago at 10 years...

I had the same situation, almost, and Feliway totally aggravated it to the point of me rushing my 12 year old male to the vets because I thought he had something caught in his throat and was having trouble breathing.  We had a 10 year old little girl that had kidney failure and we had to put her...

No question about it, a wet cat IS a grumpy cat
