Tonight something inexplicable happened at our house. My black half
meezer Andre was sharpening his claws at the cat scratcher when my
brother's always sweet German Shepherd walked by. She's been around
Andre a lot but suddenly she attacked and seemed to be biting him. I

Yes. Lactulose is a prescription med you can get from
vet. However, since it's been 3 days or more now, w/ no BM, I would ask vet
about possiby an x-ray(after manually paplpitating abdomen), just to rule out
any type of blockage.
Unfortunately, I have seen cats come in w/
blockages.

Hey Patti - think you're going to need more luck finding a home with
the 4 dogs, than the 5 cats. Maybe a good rental house prospect will
turn up. But I'm keeping Felix in my prayers - wow, 19 years,
awesome.
Best of luck,

My FeLV kitties don't get conventional treats as such. They're crazy
about the Wellness dry food, so I regard that as their treat, which they
get in the evening.
So their routine consists of wet food (Petguard) in the morning and
evening, and then a few hours after they've eaten their wet food,
Felix is in my thoughts, I am glad he is well, please keep us informed ;-))

No, it wasn't the yellow lab that attacked the kitty, it was a black

Well I'm at the end of my bag of Science Diet CD/S.
So it's time to buy more food. Here's my dilemma. Brissle is my FeLV+ female.
Her FeLV- brother Squermie has urine crystal issues. They are both 8 years old.
Squermie was about 2 when he had his urine crystals episode. It was really bad.
My Smoky had a horrible interstitial cystitis episode at the beginning of January and while there were no signs of either type of crystals, my vet put him on Waltham's Royal Canin S/O diet and it's fine for my other kitty to eat as well. They both like it and there haven't been another outbreak,

Brownie's visit with the opthamologist went very well; I learned some new things and now have to make some decisions.

Hi Del,
I've never used the gelcaps; I only ever used the tablets. I'd guess that the other ingredients are probably just some kind of binders or fillers, but like you, I be reluctant to use it without knowing for sure that it was OK.

Brownie is such a wonder! He ADORES his fluffy little bed and his FOOD bowl! He senses the vibration when I walk into the room and within the last month or so he's decided he wants to be petted before he eats! He's the happiest cat you can imagine; just purrs and purrs when he's petted

I agree Gloria. I had a Pitt who lived to be 13 yrs old and never bit anyone or hurt any of my cats. I did have a hound that I couldn't trust at all with my kitties.

After Killian had urine crystals our vet recommended HIll's Prescription Diet CD/S. You can only buy it at the vet's office - $25 for 10 pounds. But ever since Killian has been eating it, which is about 3 years now she has not had any reoccurences. Don't know if it has any byproducts though.

Tad, I'm sorry to hear about Baby. I remember when you got Momma and
her, and the story of her poor brother. I've kept you and those angel in
my thoughts and prayers and so hoped they were doing well. It makes it
that much tougher when they finally start to trust you, and she was a
cuddler
Thankyou Nina for the kind words..
Momma is doing quit well...The kitten was always wabbly on her feet and
held her head at an angle all the time so she had some problems...But I
had just started to believe that she might make it for a while...
She knew that I was trying to make her better
