I have been giving her dental treats that are heavy on chlorophyll. I googled chlorophyll and animals black tongue. It turns out it can cause it. I'm going to stop giving them to her for now and see if it improves. She's not having any problem symptoms. Just her tongue.
Has anyone's cat's tongue ever turned black? Autumn's has. It's not black spots. It's like when we eat a grape lollipop only darker. She gets no people food. Her cat food is dry Merrick.
Holly was raised mainly on dry. I started her on canned only and her very mild gingivitis has turned into worse. Autumn developed it on a canned only diet too. I used to think that dry food didn't do teeth any good but canned leaves a film which does contribute to gingivitis and tarter. As far...
I'm switching both of my girls to Merrick. It's expensive but not as bad as others. The dry limited ingredient chicken has no fish. I'm changing over from canned Friskies. Kitten Autumn has changed over completely and seven year old Holly I'm SO looking forward to seeing off Friskies entirely...
She's better but she's changed her food preference from cheap Friskies pate to pricey Merrick dry. I guess that's for the best. I was worrying about the quality and Purina lying to me anyway. She's a good water drinker so she's plenty hydrated. They get bottled. Thanks for responding.
Autumn has been on an antibiotic since the day after she had her teeth cleaned on the seventh. In the past few days her stools have been whitish/grey and today she started vomiting. The vet said for me to stop the medication. Has anyone else experienced this?
I watch them closely when they eat and don't free feed. Autumn got sick a while back and she can only handle low fat now. Holly does need to lose two pounds. They get no people food and 1-3 grain free dental treats a day.
I'm so sorry. When Dobie died Tiki was devastated. She stopped eating and drinking and wouldn't leave my room. They have emotions like we do. Tiki made it ok. A vet recommended I give her Fancy Feast ocean whitefish and tuna. She said it was aromatic and nutritious. It worked. Tiki passed at 16...
I'm feeding my girls canned Friskies pate. Autumn has to eat the Indoor line (no gravy). Holly the regular pate,also no gravy. My question is how much fat, percentage wise should a cat get a day? Regular Friskies pate is around 4-5% a can. The Indoor line is 3%.
It feels kind of strange asking this but it's starting to concern me. One year old Autumn sometimes chews on the front of my window AC. Either where the air goes in or where it comes out. This morning she did it and right afterwards threw up a little. Has anyone else ever had this issue?
I didn't know if this should be here or under behavior. One year old Autumn couldn't care less about eating canned food anymore and I'm worried. The dry she eats is healthy grain free and she's a good drinker. When she does eat her dry she wants to play with it. I've tried different kinds of...
