He has now been home a week and is settling in well. He was initially very afraid of the dogs but has quickly learned that they won't hurt him. Cat to cat intros will come later. He loves his cat fountain and drinks well. He is not too excited about dry cat kibble, so I'll probably just take...

I will definitely be keeping him on what he is on temporarily as I plan to also get some advice from my vet before doing any switches. Right now, he is hiding under the bed, so not sure on his real water intake yet as he is obviously still settling in.

Long time since my last post and my entire cat lineup has unfortunately changed. I just adopted a cat on a prescription food for a prior blockage. He has not had a blockage in at least three years and is five years old. I hate Hills and Royal Canin on principal as the prescription pet food...

After the ultrasound it's looking like it'll be some form of the beginning of IBD. So now on to research treating that. Last night we switched appetite stimulants and so he ate half his kibble and half of a tasty can of wet food. I have some kitten food for him to to get a few more calories and...

Currently he is only willing to eat 10 or twelve kibbles once or twice a day. My best quess is that I switched proteins a week ago to rabbit from turkey and the rabbit didn't agree with him. So hes not enough food, but something. Tried wet food and baby food heated up and room temp without...

Yes. They gave us rc gastro. He is not really very into wet food, but will generally eat it. He turns his nose up at most runny food, but did have a few bites this morning. Nothing more.

I don't think he's actually having any nausea in any case. He's only thrown up once in the whole time. He is interested in food, but only eats a few bites. I will try the baby food.

Yes. Teeth are all apparently normal.

Sorry posted too soon. Normal kibble, different kibble, freeze dried, normal canned, rc canned food, boiled chicken, and even goats milk. He shows interest in food, but only eats a few bits at most. He also will not eat any treats. I don't know where to go from here! Any suggestions would be...

Back after a long time away to ask for help. My oldest cat Carrot, stopped eating Sunday night. I was able to get him into the vet today. They ran bloods which came back normal, did x-rays which showed inflammation but no blockage. Got cerenia and an appetite stimulant. I have tried feeding him...

I really wish people would stop buying into designer breeds. Make sure they keep it trimmed super short. A sheepadoodle doesn't have hair like a poodle or like a sheep dog, it is impossible to brush out, ties up every tiny piece of dirt imaginable, and causes horrible and painful mats that cause...

I almost spit out my drink when you said "i know its early" - Been done with my christmas shopping for two weeks.

I have a cat that was rehomed 3 times before we took him. He regularly peed everywhere to the point where I had to eventually keep him in a crate when unsupervised just to keep my house from becoming a disaster zone. My vet recommended prozac even though my cat is the most chill cat in the...

I was thinking about this today since my black cat was repeatedly crossing under a ladder on Friday 13th. What does that equal? LOL

Most breeders like to find new homes for their dogs themselves. They usually have a list of homes that are looking for older dogs/dogs that aren't little tiny puppies. So they tend to ask their dogs come back to them so they know they're putting these dogs in a new and better situation. Goal...

Just to add to the thought process. I have a cat who had a peeing problem due to stress. I was at my wits end (he literally lived in a cage when unsupervised for several months). He's been on prozac since July and everything has been so much better. It took a while to start chilling him out, but...

When my uncle was little, he had very few verbal skills. He would say one word over and over for a long period of time, then switch to a knew word. My grandma was so worried about it, sure he had learning differences or something. Apparently he was just striving for mastery of language before...

Good plan. A dog with a job is always more manageable.

How has everything been going?

I have had a crazy year. In May, my husband left me at random and ran away to California. He has depression and anxiety and decided the responsibility of me, the cats, and the dog were just too much for him to handle. We tried to make stuff work, or rather I did, while we sold the house. I moved...
