So we have to give one of our cats an antibiotic twice a day, immediately followed by 5 Ml of water, syringed into his mouth, for a month. Yesterday after subjecting him to this treatment, I commented to my husband " I think Binx is mad at me". Husband said he does not think cats get mad like...

Hi, I have been trying to find out if Fancy Feast Gourmet Naturals has an acceptable phosphorus level..does anyone know? I have both the tuna and turkey formulas...I scanned Tanya's list and did not see this food here, When I googled, I found the following: "The most important nutritional...

Hi, Cat parents. So Binx - who had an intermittant "honking" cough - is being treated for mycoplasma felis. Treatment is 5 ml of doxycycline followed by 5 ccs of water. He takes the antibiotic just fine - syringed in to to "pocket" of his cheek - but he HATES the water and fights it. Guys, I...

Yes, he loves it. Here are the first line main ingredients: Water, Meat By-products, Liver, Rice, Powdered Cellulose, Salmon, Chicken Fat . On line, though, it says the main flavor is salmon. In any case I would like to find a non prescription diet that is similar. I am also considering...

Please, I know you folks here are not vets, I would just like some hypotheses. My cat Binx has an infrequent "honking cough". About once a month. I do not believe it is asthma, and neither do several vets who have examined him. I would like to say that I had a cat with really bad asthma...

I have three cats, 15, 5 and 3. The 15 year old is on a prescription diet but the other 2 dont need to be. I would like recommendations for high quality CANNED cat food, preferable a chicken or turkey formula (fish might be OK too, as long as it is not just fish.) Please do not suggest raw...

Binx was given a prescription for Panacure on the off chance he might have lungworm (honking cough, but its not asthma, and he checks out perfectly ok on all labs, physical exam and radiographs). So Panacure is administered 3 doses for three days in food; off a week; then three more doses in...

One of my cats has a BAD habit. Usually some time between 4-5AM (sometimes earlier), he starts to act up. He will do one or several of the following: make restless "chirping" sounds; jump up on the night table next to my bed and look for something to knock off; or jump on on my dresser and...

So I ordered Weruva WX and my cats like it - the chicken in broth formula. It is low in phosphorus which is good for Mittens with the slightly elevated SDMA, but I think the other cats can eat it also. Question: what are some good DRY formulas for me to look at, that I can feed all the cats...

Hello cat parents. Mittens is 16 and her SDMA is slightly elevated. BUN and Creatinine are not. We are trying to keep her healthy. She was on KD early support (canned) but seems to have lost interest in it. I wonder if any of you have recommendations. My vet is good with taking her off the...

Hi, cat parents and cat experts. My three are ages 5, 3 and 16. They were on prescription diets but my vet says its ok to feed regular. Please do not suggest raw, I am not doing that. I need recommendations for high quality food that comes canned and also dry. Currently they are on ID. My...

Hi, folks. I have posted before about this but hope for something new. My cat mittens (14) has chronic hairballs. I have tried everything; miralax, metameucil, egg yolk lecithin, pumpkin, slippery elm, probiotics and other specific hairball supplements. The only thing that help is keeping...

My cat Binx eats canned food in the morning but will not eat it for his second meal. He will only eat dry food for the second meal. Has anyone ever heard of this kind of peculiarity??

Mittens is 12 and we are watching her kidneys.. BUN and Creatinine are normal, but once or twice, here SDMA was elevated one point. We just keep an eye on this. In the meantime, she is very petite - about 7.5 lbs - and is not a good drinker either. So no matter how good the KD might be for...

Hi, Cat Moms and Dads. I adopted Binx a year ago. He had a bit of GI upset so the vet suggested ID. He has been on ID ever since. My issue: he eats the canned ID in the AM but will not eat canned in the PM. He wants the dry ID crunchies. I have read several places that the worst canned...

So I have Yuki, who is three and MIttens who is 13 - and Binx, the new member, who is 2. We got Binx partly because Yuki (male, neutered) was going after Mittens (neutered Female); this started shortly after we got Yuki, when he was about 5 months old. I hoped he would outgrow this, but he did...

Hi, cat parents. My 14 year old long haired girl has chronic hairballs. She has had a many a work up, including ultrasounds, and they show nothing. She currently takes 1/4 tsp miralax, proviable, and 1/8 tsp psyllium...and still throws hairballs. No she does not otherwise vomit. Please...

There are probably many posts about this question...but what is the best water for cats? I myself drink Core water but that would be pricey to give to my cats. I have been giving them distilled water in the belief - probably mistaken - that it would reduce the possibiity of stones or urinary...

Hello. Today my cat Binx started holding his ear slightly out to the side. He is not tilting his head and seems otherwise himself; no balance or appetite issues. Earlier today I noticed him scratching the ear a bit. He will not let me near it to look at it. Does this warrant a trip to the vet?

Hi, cat parents. I have cat who is probably just over a year old. He is in very good health. But. I notice that if I leave anything wet on the floor - bath mat, wet towel - he will pee on it. I have not had him to the vet because I doubt he is ill, his spirits are good, is using his litter...
