    Autoimmune eye issue -- Anyone with recent experience?

    My rescue is about 9 years old and has had a host of issues, but one is an eye problem that can present one day and look fine the next. I took him to a specialist and she commented that she found eosinophils. So googling I found eosinophilic keratitis. He hasn't ever presented with cornea issues...

    Entry rug (for wiping feet) and a very "special" cat

    Poor Duncan has IBD and when his belly is cramping and he is in pain he poops in a few unfortunate places. One place is on the matts I have for wiping my feet before going into the house. Sisal, rubber with pokey bits, all have been tried. I'm trying to think of something I could wash easily and...

    Ez Complete issue

    My IBD cat has been doing really well on homecooked chicken and turkey with EZ Complete added, but he's now reacting to, I think, the EZ Complete. He's had some horrible diarrhea and it goes away when I stop the EZ complete. I'm still testing my theory it is the EZ Complete. Anyway, I'm...

    Cat is eating 12 oz of chicken daily.

    My poor kitty has a history of IBD and urinary crystals. I tried special food for the crystals but it made the IBD flare. There are some ingredients in commercial food he does very badly with, I think guar gum is one, I think the stuff used to dissolve the crystals is the other one. Anyway, I...

    Ez Complete Question

    I'm starting to use this as my IBD kitty is now completely rejecting canned food and he seems to like this! However, I've lost the scoop. How much EZ Complete should I add, by measure, not weight, for an oz of food? Now, if I can get my other two cats to get with the program... Another...

    Sore Eye -- Nothing Helps Much

    So, poor Flynn is a little rescue (5 years old) that apparently had FHV seriously in the shelter. He was fine until he developed asthma a year or so ago. Now I've got him on an inhaler. But about the same time as I was treating him with steroid injections for the asthma he developed a really...

    Virus -- 3 cats lost their appetite

    I have 3 indoor cats aged 4, 5, 5 years. One day I came home to find one kitty missing from the usual parade of cats wanting dinner and quite a few spots of vomit. Okay, she clearly wasn't feeling good. She moped about for 2 days then started improving. She still is eating very little compared...

    Gravy recipe for Mr. Picky Pants?

    Eventually we'll get to a totally homemade cat food, but in the meantime my kitty with struvite crystals-- who hates everything except dry food (which he can't have) and 2 varieties of Fancy Feast, both with gravy, which isn't ideal--needs to get onto a higher protein diet. So Evo would be...

    Urinary crystals in my Ragdoll -- Omega-3 recommendations?

    My kitty gets struvite urinary crystals any time he is under stress and lately we're going through a remodel so there has been a lot of stress. The vet hasn't really had much to offer. I think adding methionine to his food is helping, but it is taking a while. I was thinking fish oil, or...
