Good Lord!I know this is NOT what you want to hear. But if I were you I would not rush into anything, but I would start looking for a place to move. I know you've spent tons to get your house the way you wanted, etc... but still I would start looking.You know I just moved this summer. It
Hi. Lucy had loose stool/diarrhea for about 2 months, which mostly
cleared up when she went on 10 mg/day of prednisone, then cleared up entirely
when she went to a raw turkey diet. I slowly tapered her off the pred
over a few weeks. When she had been off the pred for a week she
stopped
Thank you everyone for your well wishes. I've conquered the anemia, had the hysterectomy, am halfway moved in, and hopefully will get the thyroid going. You just all know how it is when you have a zoo to take care of. Between work and just basic care of my guys it's a lot of work. I'm either

Dry food can, but does not always, increase the risk of urinary tract
problems (the grain in it raises the ph, as does having more concentrated urine
from no water content in the food, and the acidifiers they put in to try to
reverse this sometimes cause the opposite problem of oxylate
Tonya, I really know what you mean. I have a bunch of health problems
myself (endometriosis, polycystic ovaries syndrome, gastritis, depression, had
anemia last year which I hope is better...). I seem to only be able to
medicate myself properly and get myself to the doctor when the animals
That is FANTASTIC news! I've been waiting to respond to your post Hideyo about how mad you are about this whole situation. I feel like you do, and I don't want to egg you on to cut off your nose to spite your face. (I do this from time to time myself.) I know Michelle is right about being calm and
Just to be clear, I am not very good at staying calm myself and do feel
quite angry about what people have been putting Hideyo and other rescuers
through. But as a lawyer I know I have to evaluate all the options in
terms of chances of success and amounts of risk, and that is alI I was
What are you feeding him? When I tube fed it was a/d which is very rich. Any way you can 'bland down' his diet?What about kaopectate or something for the diarrhea. Maybe ask vet about something like that?Thinking of you both. tBelinda Sauro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bailey is not doing
Tad,I'm so sorry. Bless you for taking in those poor cats from Angel Wings. I'm certain they know how blessed they were to get to live out the remainder of their lives with you and Marie. It is so sad, but there is a good side to this as only you can know from having opened your home and your
I would keep her on the 2.5 for at least 2 weeks and see what happens. I don't think that dosage is high enough to do as much harm as not eating, and the vomiting, etc If she does well for 2 to even 3 weeks on 2.5, then I would taper her to 2 and give it another 3 weeks at least before
Yes, my doctors always chide me because my cats go to every specialist there is. By the time I make it to the doctor for myself I always know what they're talking about because I've dealt with it with one of my cats. lol. They don't find this as amusing as I do. I was talking to the endocrin.
I was certainly not being critical! I get myself into trouble all the time because I'm too overzealous. It's good to fight for what you believe in. But you're more effective if you can do it with a cool head. It is VERY hard for me to keep a cool head. That's certainly not an advantage by any
Dry food is mostly fillers and carbohydrates which cats don't need
and don't process well. Because it is made up of so much fillers it is
essentially not very nutritional and mostly empty calories. I can tell
you for a fact all of my cats that prefer dry are overweight, and the
only way I
Hi Michelle, My 19 yr old Inky is on pred for possible IBD..My vet wanted me to start him at 10mg a day for 3 weeks then taper to 5mg for another 3 wks...but I have started him on 5mg a day...He was vomiting and had the bouts of runny stool and straining...He hasn't seen the vet though as he has
Hi Michelle, I mix the lysine in Bandy's food. Right now he is eating fancy feast salmon or some other fishy flavor or Salmon Science Diet..I top it with low sodium tuna since Little Rascal eats with him and has a heart condtion...I have to keep it low sodium because of Lil Rascal..and he eats
Hi Tonya,
Yes I have changed his diet to ID it is for sensitive tummies and so
far so good, no diarrhea since Thursday night. Now if his bottom will
heal and he wouls perk up a bit. We went to the vet and they couldn't
get any blood from his legs, so they had to use his jugular. My vet
My vet told me that the original thinking
of dry food is changing. Before it was recommended to only feed dry food. Now they are finding out that cats do become
obese or have chronic constipation. Not
to mention that dry food is harder to digest and can slow the metabolism.

Yes, I know-- I know more about cancer than my two friends who have it
do. Fortunately none of my cats have endometriosis though!

I have no idea about putting lysine in the water. It seems like they might
be able to taste it, as it does have a taste.

Actually a veterinary oncologist told us to use that on our dog Nubi when
she was raw from diarrhea and anal gland tumors, and it did help.

I'm assuming ID has rice in it already. Rice is the only thing I can think of when it comes to 'bland' food for diarrhea purposes. Maybe ask the vet about mushing up more rice and mixing with the ID to make it blander till the diarrhea stops?I'm making wildguesses here. I really have no clue.
I would just think an ointment would work better than a cream. The ointment is what blocks the diarrhea from getting to the skin to irritate it more. Cream is not 'waterproof' as such.Also, I don't know what you're washing him with when he has these accidents, but I would use NO soap at all. I
