Hi Judith and Ruby. Ruby sounds gorgeous! A torbie white longhair is likely to be a pedigree background as they are rare in domestics. This increases her...
Hiya I can not recommend cardiostrength highly enough. My four heart cases all take it and all have outlived their diagnosis and I put that down to a brilliant...
Hi I thoroughly agree with Carol! If it is a thrombosis, then immediate heparin/painkiller can be given. Also massage may help. If the kitty is in pain, then...
Hello Jaime and Maia I`m sorry to hear Maia is unwell. If she is coughing she may have fluid on the lungs and need something to help that which will also make...
Hi Jaime, A happy New year to you! Welcome to the group! How old is Maia? A lot of people here supplement their cats diet with things such as Coenzyme Q10,...
Hi All, I haven't been posting much because the past five days have been a whirlwind of panic. I posted last 2 days before she was at the Vet - we took her...
Hi Trish; ... From: "onewildpinkrose" <onewildpinkrose@...> ... When we brought Pepper, (http://pat-fearlessfosdick.blogspot.com/), home to deal with his...
Prednisolone is preferred over prednisone for cats. Prednisone has to be converted by the liver to prednisolone and this conversion for cats is not always...
I think the reason Trish, and all of us, are afraid of giving the Prednisone or Prednisolone (and other steroids) is because of the possibility of it causing...
Personally, if it were my cat I would stop the Pred - it does nothing to help, just covers up symptoms. My cat is highly allergic to it and gets very sick...
I would like to hear more from you guys on Cardiostrength?? There are a few ingredients in it that are toxic to cats. I decided not to give it. Can anyone...
Boy Faye... I could have written this myself! After so many years of my animals being sick and ME being the one to practically diagnose and find treatments...
hi Faye, Here's the list of ingredients from the Vetri-Science website. Active Ingredients Per Capsule: L-Carnitine HCl.............................250 mg ...
Ruby thanks you for the compliment. Truth is she's too adorable for words. Doubt she has much pedigreed in her as you can find any color combination you can...
My sincere apologies - the product I was refereing to is Standard Process Feline Cardiac Support: The toxic ingredients are alfalfa, kelp. I also question...
I looked up all the ingredients as much as I could find and here's some info. Personally, I don't like this supplement... too many ingredients and no...
Figures there'd be one link that didn't go in right. Here's the link to the Cardiotrophin. http://tinyurl.com/3d5645 Carol and Snowball and the gang...
Hi - I saw your post - I just wanted to jump in and reassure you. Here in the UK there is a truly wonderful feline specialist - over the years I got to...
Hi Faye; ... From: "Elegantzebra" <elegantzebra@...> ... I must presume, here, that you have never had to follow a specific "protocol" set up by the...
Hi everyone, I apologize in advance if this seems like a silly question, but I'm wondering if it's safe to give my cat, Merlin, catnip. He has hypertrophic...
Hi Linda, Catnip can have a sedative, calming effect. After the initial "high" that the kitty's brain experiences, afterwards they can become sleepy and calm....
Hi I have the most wonderful vet and cardiologist so I reckon I`m very lucky. My cardiologist adores cats and dogs and I've seen the way she interacts with ...
I've continued to give Max catnip on a regular basis with no problems, but there were mixed opinions on this site when I asked the question; it may be up to...
Hi all, we are hard at work trying to treat Griffin's IBD and elevated liver ALT and possible pancreatitis. He has had the fpli which was negative, but I am...
hi Amanda, The reason the Mirtazapine is only given every 72 hours is that it has a long half life and it takes that long for it to clear out of the liver. I...
Hi Everyone, Well, the good news is that i think we have found a new vet for Mr. Data...she does home visits which helps a lot with data's stress levels which...
Hi Dawn, Your current treatment list does not mention Sub-Q fluids. Has your vet discussed the benefits of daily fluids, even at this stage? You wouldn't want...
Hi Vicki, Right now his vet does not want to start him on sub-q fluids quite yet as he is actually doing quite well with hydration. But we are keeping a close...
