    Kidney disease low phosphorus

    I honestly could be bad at searching, but I’m on my cell and I’m having problems finding it if anyone could point me in the direction. I’m trying to figure out phosphorus content for a cat with kidney disease. What’s a good percent to stay under (as fed and as dry matter) and how do you...

    Gma’s cat, just want opinion/ I’m curious

    Gma’s cat is a smaller sized cat (when she first got him from the shelter, he looked like an American shorthair but his legs were shorter) but is overweight at 19-20 pounds and has type 2 diabetes (he has had no signs of weight loss, has been that weight for about three years now). He has to...

    Pioneer Pet vs Drinkwell Water Fountain

    I’m looking at both the pioneer pet teardrop and the drinkwell 360. The pioneer comes in either 60 oz or 96 oz while the drinkwell is a gallon. Both are stainless steel. I’ve had a pioneer in the past, but not the teardrop. Has anyone had it, or the drinkwell? Thoughts?

    Getting Apixaban (eliquis)

    minus goodrx and the vet themselves, does anyone know where I might be able to get it for a decent price? So far the cheapest I’ve found is $110. Edit: that $110 is for 15 pills, which will need split into quarters to last a month.

    Cat Has Neurological (maybe?) Issues After Chf

    Kaylee has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Detail of every wrong can be given if asked. So Thursday night (4/4) mom called and said Kaylee looked sick and was coughing. I met her at the local vet, where chest X-rays showed fluid in her lungs. Her respitory rate was high, but she’s always had a...

    Were Bottle Feeding Guidelines Different In ‘08??

    Okay so here’s the explanation. I’ve been bored and binge watching Animal Planet shows, including Animal Cops. In the one episode a mama kitten was rescued and gave birth. The mom was too weak so they had to bottle feed. They stated a few times they were feeding every four hours. NONE of the...

    Leukaemia/fiv Testing Question

    Feel free to move because I wasn’t sure if this could go with my other post about the cat. The vet I see actually works for an animal hospital so there are two other vets that work there. I normally ask for the one, but sometimes he isn’t in when I need to get a cat in, so I get one of the...

    Natural Help For A Cat With Separation Anxiety

    So after Kaylee and Artie's fight that ended in blood, Artie is currently locked in my bedroom (the only place I CAN lock a cat up long enough for a truce period). While my room is only nine foot by nine foot, it has the most cat shelves and tunnels on the walls. It is also filled with...

    Okocat Litter

    I know there are opinions on this litter but a lot of them are old, so I figured I’d input my share and maybe see if anyone changed their mind. I’ve been trying to find a non-clay litter and - honestly - the only reason I bought okocat was because there was a $5 off coupon on the box (okay and...

    Artie And Kaylee’s Fighting Ended In Bloodshed

    This is me mostly stresing so this could probably go in the casual forums - I’m sorry I’m not the best judge. So those who don’t know my situation I explain most of it in my thread here: Female Cat Spraying On Everything - At Wits End (long Story Involved). Short version: cats where used to...

    Friend Ask: Is There A Thing As Non-aggressive Jealousy?

    My friend keeps on complaining about this and I don’t have a good answer so I figured I’d swing it by you guys. She has three cats, not related, whom are about four/five years old - one male, two females. A local shelter needed room so she offered to foster these three that got along the most...

    Store Bought Or Homemade Raw For Ibd Cat

    I'm still trying to find another vet, but thanks to a few people on here, I suspect that my cat has IBD. I'm still experimenting with canned and dry, but I've been thinking about raw. I am friends with a farmer, so I can get beef, chicken, and pork from her, or would it be easier to get...

    Non-cat Cat Litter Problems

    Soooo I have two cats whom are elevator butt pee'ers. I use large storage totes that have very high walls, so peeing outside the box isn't an issue. My issue is I find the urine (and it's smell) sticks to the sides of the tote and I have to scrub the box multiple times a month, which is so...

    Hyperthyroidism? Maybe? Could Use Your Opinion.

    First off, I know you guys aren’t vets. The cat I’m about to talk about has been to the vet recently, and will go back, it’s just some of you have been cat owners longer so you guys have more experience than me. Second, sorry another long post. Artemis is female, spayed, and (exact date...

    Why Would You Do That!?

    (Please delete/move if necessary) Took one of my cats to the vets today because she kept on vomiting. But that’s not the whole point of this story. At the end of the visit the receptionist was making small talk by asking what was wrong with my cat. I told her what was going on and on a side...
