hi -- what are you feeding him? He should be on all canned for maximum protein, to keep up his strength. Cats cannot properly digest the carbs in dry food,...
yes, keep giving her whatever she wants, keep that Fancy Feast out all the time. It's easier to stop her from losing so much than to try to put on weight...
Shelly, Since there's a slight chance of stomach upset, you could introduce it slowly. The normal dose is 30mg daily. I did have a vet who recommended 120mg...
Susan, I never heard that heart disease would cause changes in the lungs. Maybe someone else knows better, but that just doesn't sound right to me. As ...
I did forget to mention one thing. If you start giving CoQ10 and later decide to discontinue it, you'll need to wean your cat off of it slowly. A sudden drop...
