    Treating IBD in cat with heart condition who's allergic to poultry, already on raw, and has eaten the usual recommended novel proteins for years?

    I've already read through the two awesome resources that are frequently posted here in regards to treating IBD, but the gist of them are basically get your cat on a raw food with a novel protein. The problem is that my cat is allergic to poultry and has eaten things like rabbit, venison, and...

    Is it possible for a cat to have parasites without diarrhea? Do parasites always show up on a fecal test?

    Just got blood work done, and my cat's protein is low. He seems to have lost some muscle mass over the past six months. I'm waiting on my vet to get back to me with next steps. She thinks it might be liver or gastro related. However, based on my googling, it seems like parasites might also be an...

    Throwing up once a night between 3AM - 6AM

    To preface, I do have a vet appointment lined up, but I wanted to see if anyone else had experience with this instead of going into the appointment blind. My 10(ish)-year-old cat has been throwing up almost every night in the early hours of the morning. He does have some history with this...

    CBD Oil and Going Under Anesthesia

    Does anyone have any experience with their cat being on CBD oil and then undergoing anesthesia? My 9(ish)-year-old tabby has been on PetReleaf's CBD oil for about 4 years now. He takes 0.5ml/day for what my previous vet called "localized seizures." He needs his teeth cleaned, and my new vet...

    Just need a little support. Cat sick for first time in the 8 years I've had him.

    My 9-year-old orange boy started sneezing a lot about four days ago. Congestion, runny nose, watery eyes, just pitiful looking. Took him to the vet Saturday, and they said all signs point to a viral infection. He doesn't have a fever and his appetite is normal, but he's been unusually snuggly...

    Alternatives to the pill form of Benedryl (diphenhydramine)?

    Pilling my cat has been a traumatizing nightmare to both of us. His vet prescribed him Benadryl to calm the scratching he’s been doing after having been (presumably) bitten by something last time he was outside a few weeks ago. I’ve gotten two hard-won doses in him, but this morning I could...

    Cat scratching ears and face. Think it's a reaction to a bug bite gotten outside. Best way to stop itching?

    I took my cat outside in the backyard last week -- leashed and supervised -- and since then he's been scratching at his ears and face a lot. He just scratched a tiny sore around his eyebrow area today, but otherwise his skin is fine. Just much more scratching than normal. I took him to the vet...

    healthy cat pooping outside the litter box

    tl;dl: My cat has been pooping outside of the litter box after a short bout of constipation. His health is fine, as are his current bowel movements. I've tried adding more boxes, new box locations, and cat attract litter all to no avail. How can I redirect his behavior so that he begins to use...

    Moving cross country with an anxious, carsick cat

    In two months I'm going to be moving from North Carolina to Colorado. I will be driving my car there with a friend. The schedule should be to drive nine hours the first two days and six hours the third day, stopping at pet-friendly hotels for the two nights. I have one orange tabby and he's...

    Constant morning meowing? Here's what worked for me

    I've had my furbaby for almost three years now. Two months ago he began waking me up anywhere from 4:30-6 in the morning meowing. Continuously. He would go on for an hour or two. It seemed to coincide with us starting to take him outside (in a fenced backyard, leashed, and supervised). We put a...
