This thread has been so helpful to me--my 1-year-old is in her first few days of Prednisone after having constant, stinky diarrhea for most of her 12 months. My 5 year old is almost 2/3 through his course after licking most of his belly fur off... I've also been in your shoes with kitties who...

It sounds like you already know the answer :)

They will be healthier together than they would be separated, eating the best food Do what gives them and you the most joy

WAY. TOO. MUCH.

My cats all like this stuff. We've tried beef and chicken. Unfortunately, one appears to have a beef allergy and the other, a chicken issue. But this was in my rotation for a bit and no complaints (other than the poops due to the protein sensitivities)

I don't know your story, but simultaneously, I know your story. We all do in our own ways. My heart aches for you because I've been there. All I have to say is the one thing that helped me to know when it was time, which is that it's better to let go a moment too soon and always yearn for that...

Yes, as hard as it can be to wait, that's about all you can do other than what you've already done. This past July, I rescued an adult male who had been in an abusive situation. It took about two months for him to come out of hiding on my ceiling beams (I live in a loft--with 20-ft. ceilings)...

Thank you so much! I literally just got Leo's diagnosis and prescriptions yesterday, so I haven't really had a chance to research options yet. I really appreciate knowing another legitimate source.

Oh, well then I can help take that off of your plate! I haven't yet shopped around, but my vet took it upon himself to give me the website of a reliable Canadian pharmacy where you can get Flovent for a third of the price in the US (assuming that's where you're located)...

here's the thing: Ireland IS STILL SUCH A HEALTHY CAT. And so is my Leo. This is not a death sentence--it's a chronic, manageable condition, just as it is in people. And since it seems to arise from allergies in cats, it occurs to me that our cats are really no sicker than a child with a...

Agreed--i freaked out when I noticed my 6 month old panting after rambunctious play sessions, but my vet told me it's totally normal in kittens.

Thank you for your timely post. My rescue cat, Leo (in the picture) was just diagnosed today. I'll be following this!

Yep, that's exactly why I linked the two. I'm sorry I was unclear. I'm a bit delirious from working like a madwoman the last few weeks :) They gave a second round of the dewormer (I am to give the second dose in a few weeks). We will then have a follow-up appointment, which they are going...

nope, not at all, at least in our case. I gave her half a packet for maybe 2-3 days and it made all the difference. she's been fine ever since

I think upper respiratory. my cats are just recovering from the same thing. The coughing makes you think it's a hairball, but my boy also had laryngitis and was sneezing as well. He's not eating because he has a sore throat. One thing that I figured out was that he would drink the water from...

If all labs come back normal, try some Fortiflora. That worked wonders when I first adopted my baby at 16 weeks old (someone abandoned her at the pound). When I first brought her home, it took a week or two for her to get used to new food and to learn how to properly clean herself, which my...

After losing my beloved, 17-year-old cat, Moe Moe in July, I've adopted a beautiful little baby girl named Fiona (Fifi). She's now about 5 months old, and as of 3 weeks ago, she weighed 5.25 lbs, so was given the all-clear for her spay. A pre-op blood test caused the whole thing to be...

I hate to be indelicate, but I have to ask: how does he poop??

Thank you all so much for your wonderful feedback and advice!! I will report back!!

omg!  I'm so sorry for you and your poor little guy!
