    Bladder Cancer

    Well, so far Mr. Topaz seems to be doing ok & still eating good, thank GOD. I'm trying him on some PetAlive C-Caps & Energy Tonic which is for cats with cancer. Plus, I just ordered some homeopathic remedies which had some really great reviews to hopefully buy him some more time in comfort...

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    Well, update on my Nicky boy. The vet gave me some metronidazole for vomiting plus some samples of a gastroenteritis food to try. Well, never gave him the meds as once I starting giving him the gastric sample foods as a snack, no more vomiting issues. Thank GOD. Well, for whatever reason, I...

    Bladder Cancer

    To my sorrow when I went to the vet yesterday to have Mr. Topaz rechecked for a UA issue he had. When they expressed his bladder, they discovered a mass & after x-rays & ultrasound, they are pretty sure it is bladder cancer & my heart is just broken. He's over 15 yrs old now & I had no idea that...

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    Will try out the Pure bite treats as you guys recommended once I get a diagnosis for my boy today. I did start using a probiotics in his food which is suppose to help with vomiting & or diarrhea.

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    I heard of Dr. Elsey's kitty litter but did not know there was a food option. Will have to check that out so thank you. Yes, I heard of Pure Bites & may try that as well for a snack. Well, hoping for the best today when I take him in to get checked out.

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    Thank you. After the vet visit today & hopefully they won't find anything seriously wrong with my sweet boy. I may try another dry food for him to snack on. Yesterday, when he was pestering me for a snack, I gave him a spoonful of Wellness grain free Signature Select instead & that seemed to...

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    Thanks for all the info & guess I will find out tomorrow when I go in, what's going on. I prefer wet food as well & they get mostly that but they do like a few dry kibbles thru out the day, like a snack & I've never had an issue with giving them this snack except here lately, only with Nicky. He...

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    I never give the amount of food that is listed on the can or bag as I split 1 can of Royal Canin SO wet food into 5 portions which they get in the am & pm.

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    I do have raised bowls for the cats dry food & it doesn't matter if its only a few bites thru out the day, he will still upchuck it.

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    Yes, I will be taking Nicky into the vet tomorrow to get checked out. As far as what to feed him, since he has had a lot of UA issues in the past, my vet recommended the Royal Canin SO Urinary food & that is what I feed all 5 cats. But I will discuss this with him tomorrow & since he only vomits...

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    Your right about not giving him any dry food but he will drive you crazy as he wants it so bad & will keep pestering you into the room where the dry food is kept & than of course, the other 4 cats come running as they want some, too. And yes, it comes back in kibble shaped pieces with some...

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    His gums look fine & we have 5 cats that eat this food but they only get a few bites & it would be hard to water down just a couple of kibbles & especially since they all eat the dry in the same room.

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    No, Nicky only vomits up the dry food not the wet. I'm not a big fan of Hills Science Diet & my cats are not too crazy about it either but they do like the Royal Canin SO food & have been on it for a very long time. No, the dry only comes in one flavor & like I said, he's use to eating it &...

    Vomiting Up Dry Food

    My Siamese, Nicky, who is 11 1/2 yrs old, here lately has been vomiting up his dry food. My cats eat the Royal Canin Urinary SO wet & dry food as they have had UA issues in the past & this food seems to agree with them & prevents some UA issues. I normally feed the 1/4 can in the am & 1/4 can in...

    Anyone with a hyperthyroid cat on methimazole?

    My sweet Rachel that you see in the picture was on Tapazole for many years & lived to be 23 yrs old. I've been down this road several times before with 2 other cats & I did go the radioactive iodine treatment for them which was not cheap but I read that was the best treatment of choice...

    Trying To Rescue Feral Moms & Kittens

    Once you trap them do you just keep them in the cat trap over night?? What if they have to go potty or want food & water & they are just in the cat trap??? I've never used a cat trap before so not really sure how this works. Also, don't really have time to just sit & watch plus if they see me...

    Trying To Rescue Feral Moms & Kittens

    Well, the good news is that I use to work for a vet for 40 yrs so I get a 50% discount which helps tremendously. I have rescued stray cats before & either kept them or found them homes so I know that they can be socialized given patience & time. I know the kitties will not be a problem once I...

    Regarding clipping nails

    Thanks for all the advice but Raven is a wild child & as I mentioned before, he runs if I even get too close to him. The only time I can actually touch him is when he's getting ready to eat his dinner & than I try to pick him up first & love up on him before I let him eat his food. I normally...
