Hi there, everyone. So, my 18 year old boy cracked a tooth and most, but not all, of it has come out. Due to his advanced age, the vet decided it would be best to not do surgery. Basically, we are waiting for either the nerve to die or the remainder of the tooth to come out on its own. A...

Hi there! Long time, no post. My 12 year old cat, Oliver, is having issues. I have about 2 weeks until the next vet appointment, and I am looking for anything: ideas or past experience. Trying not to worry, as that won't help him. I had thought for quite awhile he felt too thin when I would...

Hello, A few months ago I had to have my 13 year old female put down due to an inoperable tumor. Since her death, my oldest male, Zephyr who is also 13, has started acting aggressive toward the other two cats in the house. Before this point, Zephyr has always been the top male cat who didn't...

 Simple question: how much time do you give them to eat before taking away the food?  My cats don't  free feed, but if there is food remaining on the plate when it's time to go to work, I'll leave it there. They seem to finish it in a couple of hours most days. I do the same with their evening...

Does anyone here know how much a bacterial infection and stress could possibly raise blood sugar? Also, once the infection is treated, how long before the sugar starts dropping, and how long before it hits a stable number? The situation: my girl, Ivanna, had a severe ear infection that showed...

Hello! My girl cat, Ivanna, was diagnosed with a severe ear infection last Friday. It wasn't obvious before then, and the vet said that it was probably building up down below before finally bursting out that day. The only sign was a couple of days before she started yelling when I pilled her. I...

I have been on a journey to be able to feed all 4 of my cats affordably, and preferably the same thing. The two problem children: a male cat who absolutely needs wet food due to urinary problems, and a girl with food sensitivities (probably chicken-which is in everything ) So, today I thought...

Okay, so one of my recent posts here was about trying to find an alternative to the Hill's Prescription c/d, as it makes my cat stinky beyond words. It seems like the biggest answer for urinary problems is wet food, wet food, and more wet food. While I don't know if the prescription canned...

 About 7 years ago my cat, Zephyr, had a urinary blockage. The vet at the time had him put on Hill's S/D, and then said just to supplement his diet with it from time to time afterward. Recently Zephyr had a relapse. The new vet switched him over to Hill's C/D and said to keep him on it...

Hi there! Short story to set everything up: I got my lovely girl cat from the shelter overflow at my local Petsmart. She was freshly spayed and had a cute little pink belly. It wasn't until over a year later that I realized she had food allergies. I knew she groomed a whole lot more than my...
