Autumn and Diarrhea

2007-11-05 Thread Susan Ang
Hey All,

   Autumn is doing really well overall. She's been feeling so good in fact
that she's been trying to steal human food. She's tried to do this as long
as we've had her. The only difference is that she's now bigger and sneakier.
On Friday night she got into a plate and ate some pizza crust with a little
sauce on it. She also ate part of a cooling banana bread loaf on Saturday.
When I set the loaf out she was playing happily in another room - when I
turned around she was munching away~_~ The problem is that she's developed
diarrhea. She has no other symptoms. We try hard to keep her out of people
food, but if you turn your back for a second she gets into your plate.
Should I get her in to see a vet ASAP or just wait and see?  I understand
that sometimes people food upsets their stomachs. I have a soft food for
cats with intestinal troubles. Should I take away her hard food and give her
the I/D formula? She's also had terrible kitty gas.

Thanks,
~Susan A

Hi Susan,

You should talk to your vet's office to see what they think, but I don't
think you need to rush
Autumn in right away. Having dealt with diarrhea with Ember, my first
course of action would
be to rest her from food for a day or two, if possible. Make sure she
has plenty of water, of course.
After the short break, I would increase portions until normal over a few
days. If you don't want to 
give her time off of food, then you might at least take her off the hard
food for the time being, 
and then slowly reintroduce it over a week or so. You might also try
giving her some pumpkin. 
I think a teaspoon of pumpkin mixed in with wet food is what I did for
Ember when she had
bad diarrhea.

Keep in mind that this is what *I* would do. Your vet may have a better
idea of what's
best for little Autumn. I hope she starts feeling better soon.

2007-11-05 Thread Caroline Kaufmann

OH MY GOD!  This is such a similar experience to what my beloved, and late, 
Monkee did, I just had to reply!  He too got into a homemade cooling loaf of 
banana nut bread I had left out on the stove top (which he knew he wasn't 
allowed on)!!  I had put a paper towel over top of it and he totally raided it! 
 When I found it, he had shredded the paper towel and there were kitty nail 
marks and teeth marks all on the bread!  It was so funny!  Also, about the same 
time, I had left a soy cheese pizza out on the counter, cooling, with a paper 
towel on top and he raided that too!  He shredded everything again, but the 
funniest part was that his white muzzle got stained orange from the pizza sauce 
(from him sticking his face in it no doubt)!  He tried to act like he didn't do 
anything wrong, but the evidence was all over his face!  I was mad at him, but 
it was so funny and he looked too cute that I took pictures of his orange face 
with my camera phone and sent them to everyone with the title Pizza-faced 
Monkee!  He was the best and I miss him soso entertaining.  
 
Cherish these moments, even if they are semi-annoying!  
 
I did talk to my vet about Monkee's food raiding when it happened because he 
had never done it to that extent before.  At the time, we were trying to get 
him to lose some weight so he was on S/D light dry only.  The vet recc'd adding 
wet food as the new theory was that cats feel like they have eaten more if 
they get some wet food.  Now, this is in contrast to a previous theory that 
cats get filled up more on a primarily dry food diet.  I'm sure this could be 
debated on end and different vets will be on a current, different theory at any 
given time, so, you have to take it with a grain of salt and just try different 
things and use your own judgment/let YOUR cat tell you what's best in the end.  
I did start adding S/D wet to try to satiate Monkee more, but I don't know if 
it worked because I also stopped leaving things out on the counter so his food 
raiding did cease anyway!  
 
I also think that when they are having diarrhea and you can pin-point the cause 
(human food raiding), it's good to give their gut a rest and hold off on the 
dry food.  If you have I/D, I would personally feed that to get her through the 
hump.  Also, with the caveat that I AM NOT A VET and you certainly don't need 
to follow my advice, but when I had kittens with diarrhea that wasn't caused by 
a known source, to help calm their systems down, the vet said to give them 
Liquid Imodium- which I did and they were fine.  I can't remember the dose 
though.  But it's not a full cc- when in doubt, I always go with 1 cc per pound 
of body weight, or maybe even less than that.  In situations like this, you can 
always put a call into your vet and ask what they think about the food-raiding 
behavior and/or if you can give Imodium/how much, etc.  
I hope this helps,
Caroline

I think people on this site have also recc'd- for general diarrhea- in the past 
to boil a chicken and give them the chicken broth.  I have never been able to 
try it yet though, as I am a vegetarian, thus, I'm not chicken boiler!  But 
it's something else to try to keep her satiated, dehydrated and keep her 
electrolytes going.
Good luck.

Many years ago, my calico Persian Priscilla had a similar experience.  It 
turned out she had been bitten by some type of insect which caused her 
dizziness.  I can't remember what my vet prescribed--but he did know just what 
to do for her.  And she recovered and lived many more years in good health.

Sad News Something to Think About

2007-11-05 Thread Chris Behnke
Early Sunday morning, one of my fur-babies passed away from a heart
attack. There was no warning, she had never been sick a day in her
life. Chelsea was only 4 years old. The vet did an autopsy today and
confirmed that it was cardiomyopathy. Basically there was a
thickening in her heart walls and her heart failed. She went very
quickly and without pain. One minute she was walking, the next she
was gone. There was nothing I could have done. Cardiomyopathy is
something that is prevalent among Maine Coons and American Short
Haired cats and is usually found between the ages of 1 and 4 years
old. They are not a lot of symptoms and cannot always be detected
before it causes fatalities. Regular vet visits could help to detect
it early. Vets can do xrays to see the heart or listen to the heart
rate and make sure nothing is unusual. Also, never take for granted
the time you have with your animals. I loved Chelsea and she knew it.
I didn't get to say goodbye since she went so quick, but at least I
know she knew she was loved and treasured. I make it a habit to tell
all my animals that I love them everyday. 

I didn't post this for sympathy, but I wanted to share with you the
importance of regular vet checkups. Because I have so many animals, I
was told that I didn't have to do regular checkups for all of my
babies, I just needed to take them in when they were sick. I now know
better.

Thanks,

Chris

I'm so sorry - he sounds like a wonderful kitty and I know he will be 
missed.  Sleep soft sweet Morris.

I'm going to try mixing some.  I thought it should be all or nothing with the 
crystals.  And I can't afford to go all crystals.
  thanks,

  Dixie doesn't like the pearls.  They get stuck under her nails and in her 
paws.  They don't hurt but they aggravate.  She is fine with the crystals.  I 
wish she would use them without the A and H but they make a lot of noise and 
that upsets her.

mix it with the A  H scoopable and it works wonders.  I use Rubber Maid 18

  Subject: Litterboxes
  

Ok, guys, as you know, my cat population has grown to four.  With that 
comes an exponential number of litterboxes (three currently, thinking about 
upgrading to four), and well, honestly, litter is getting a bit expensive with 
all the other costs.  I'm curious about what you guys use?  Right now I use 
Tidy Cats scoopable litter, and the Tidy cats litter deodorizer, too.  I've 
also been changing the boxes out completely every week (at least every other 
week).  This gets expensive, especially considering it takes a box and a half 
to fill three boxes every week.  The problem is if I don't change the box out 
every week, it starts to smell, and one of the litterboxes is in the guestroom. 
:(  
   
  So my question is, what kind of litter do you guys use, and what protocol do 
you use to keep the odor to a minimum?  What are the differences in scoopable 
versus non-scoopable?  I'd appreciate any opinions on the matter. :)
