Cat with chronic constipation

November 20th, 2011

Hello
I adopted “Buddy” from the SPCA about ten years ago and I cannot remember a time when he was not constipated.

His stool is like little round stones and he has always had a little bit of blood on his bum.

I bought him a water fountain, and with encouragement he is drinking a lot more water.
He has been on a dry cat food from the vet, good stuff, about $80 for a very large bag that lasts for more than a year as now he is eating mostly wet cat food.

Problem, he eats a lot of ” Whiska’s Treats”, which I fear is not helping with the problem. How do I stop him from eating so many of them?

I also have him eat wet catfood and a lot of his meals are with gravy from Fancy Feast.

How can I help him get over this chronic constipation that I know is causing him a lot of pain?

Thank you in advance for your help.

What do I feed a cat that has a sensitive stomach?

November 14th, 2011

I have an older cat, shes 12, who has a very  touchy stomach.  She’s been this way since she was a kitten.  If she eats too much or something disagreeable, she barfs it all back up.  She’s also very picky so the prescription foods she has available she won’t eat.

Any suggestions?

My cat is always licking herself. What can I do to get her to stop????

November 11th, 2011

My cat seems to spend almost every waking moment licking herself.  Her fur is damp and sometimes she licks so much she creates a bald spot.  She also throws up more than average.  I think it is a bad habit.  What can I do to get her to stop?

How do I get my cat to eat canned food instead of dry?

November 9th, 2011

I’ve been told that dry cat food is bad for my cats health and that concerns me.  Problem: my cat loves dry cat food and will only eat a small amount of  the wet food I give to her.

Before I gave her dry food in the morning and wet and dry at night, but now I’m just giving her canned food and she’ll only take a bite or two, then walk away and refuse to eat any more.  Then she follows me around meowing and looking really sad and upset.

I get concerned that she’ll starve to death so I’ve been giving her a little dry later in the morning and she just dives in and eats every little bit.

I really want to make the switch but I’m not quite sure how to do it.  HELP!

8 year old dog having trouble walking

October 15th, 2011

We have an 8 year old dalmatian/pit bull mix who is having trouble walking with his back legs, especially his right hind leg.  He has episodes where he shakes.  He has been diagnosed with arthritis where his spine meets his tail from an episode of the same problem he had in May, now he has it again.  We have been giving him chondroitin and carprfofen which seems to help.  He has days where he seems almost ok, then days like today where we can’t get him in the car to go to he vet. We don’t know what to do.  Is a house call warranted, and if so, how much would it be?

 

Could these be tick eggs?

October 10th, 2011

Its been raining a lot this year and its created a big tick problem.  I have a puppy that goes out and comes back with some every time which I pick off immediately.  I have treated them and have been removing as many as i can.  He just came in with something on his head that looked like dirt but when I brushed it off, it was stuck to him.  Are these tick eggs? I treated him for ticks and Im unsure what to do.  Should I wash him, let the medication work or what?  What do tick eggs look like?

My dog won’t come to me since I started dating

October 3rd, 2011

I’ve lived alone for most of my adult life.  Recently I started dating a very nice man and I have hopes this might be the one but recently my dog is acting strange.  He used to follow me wherever I was.  Now he keeps his distance and gives me hurt looks.

I try and include him in our outings but he just hangs back.  I think he’s jealous and I don’t know how to fix it.

Any suggestions?

Dogs scratching even though no fleas

September 2nd, 2011

I have 2 dogs that are scratching themselves raw.  I checked for fleas and they had a couple so I got rid of them by using Frontline.

They don’t have fleas but they keep scratching and it is driving me crazy.  They are both doing it.  Could it be a reaction to the flea meds?  What else could it be?

I think my cat dislocated her leg and can’t go to the bathroom

July 21st, 2011

my cat is apx 14-17 yrs old.  i think she has dislocated her back leg (from the hip).  she is not able to walk, or stand, but the foot is fine and she can move it.  however, now she is not going to the bathroom either.  no pee or poo since yesterday. i believe she is in a ton of pain.  can you please tell me how much a visit like this would cost?  can anything be done for her without a traumatizing visit to a vet hospital?
