I want to feed my cats more canned food (without grains) but I find that the premium ones (Wellness, etc) contain "cranberry" etc..for "urinary tract health."...
Hi again... This is my second post today...sorry for asking so many questions in one morning! My vet came over to see Max here at home. This is the first time...
Hey all, My Alec is doing really well with keeping fluids from backing up in his lungs but I am afraid it (lasix)is causing him to be constipated. When he...
Betty, I didn't know any better in the beginning and just gave Pepper everything (she is also 15 pounds). Fortunately it didn't bother her although sometimes...

Leah, First, make sure he's drinking enough water. If you feed him dry food, that's probably a big part of the problem. Cats get a large percentage of their...
hi! i have been looking for home oxygen in case my cat needs it. i have been looking and im getting a bit confused there are concentrators and tanks. can...
... But there is absolutely no reason to feed any cat a "prescription" diet, which are uniformly of poor nutritional quality. This is doubly true for...
Leah, My Lillie had a consipation issue that really went too far (we almost lost her), so now her specialist writes me an Rx for Lactulose and we get it filled...
I don't know what to say. I never posted to this group, I just always silently lurked. And now...my Boogie is gone and I don't really know who to talk to. No...
I am extremely sorry about Boogie and feel for you, but one thing you cannot and should not do is beat yourself up. Boogie would not be anymore alive or happy...
Tinytim, who has a clubfoot, is a grade 1. Cameron is a grade 2. We go back to the vet in 10 days for another listen and booster shots for the distemper. Poor...
Hi All, I am the very lucky Mum to Rupert, whom I found ~ 11 years ago in Toronto. After moving to Michigan 9 years ago, we were fortunate to find a wonderful...

Hi Leah, I am a new member here (just bumped over from the CRF group, although my little Rupert has had HCM for three years!). One of the things that works...
MJ, Hi & welcome to the group. Sorry to hear that your kitty is sick, but it sounds like he's in good hands! I can't comment on the CRF but a lot of the cats...
My vet recommended fish oil capsule. Full of omega 3s and vitamin E. Sim will take it some times. He has been generally constipated all his life for some...
Hi, What cute kittens! Yes, I would start supplementing. The supplements recommended on this group would help improve the health of any cat. They are good...
Hi Katy! Thank you for the nice welcome message! Too funny about the kitty signatures! And yes, my family and friends are getting used to me doing it. In...
I 100% agree. There is nothing that can be gained by looking back on what was. Look towards what will be. Remember that you still have 6 wonderful babies...
Thank you Sue...they are all really sweeties although Dexter is my favorite - he has a Maine Coonish personality. I have a couple more supplement questions. I...
Lisa, I never heard of TMG and would love to hear what other people have to say. I was feeding Missing Link but someone here (Rosemary or Lisa?) mentioned that...
Mj, Welcome to the group, though I'm sorry you had to join us! Rupert is a very lucky boy to have such a devoted mama! It sounds like he's doing well and this...
Sue (and Lisa), It wasn't me ... Rosemary's the nutrional guru :) Baby Boy gets DMG (dimethylglycine) and TMG (trimethylglycine) -- they are different, aside...
Carmen, I am so, so sorry to hear about Boogie :( I am also so sad for you that you had to go through this! You did the best you could for him, and the others...
Lisa, Interesting.... What form do you use and how much? I'm current giving Pepper .5 ml twice daily of the liquid DMG from US Animal Nutritionals. Where do...
Sue, your girl is beautiful! I always said the only way I'd get another cat was if a Maine Coon rescue fell in my lap like my last guy - he was such a love....
