    Infection and dental work

    Thank you so much for your response, Dr. Jeff. Morticia is not on any medications. Her remedy of choice has been arsenicum album. So you think the antibiotic (amoxi drop) before the dental work is ok? Or is it necessary? Vet wanted her to take it before the procedure. And I get your...

    Bird flu?

    I know this was discussed earlier this year, but it’s come up in the news again so was wondering if I should be concerned about the raw food my cat eats. She eats a frozen chicken preparation made by a local (San Francisco) pet store. And a local raw frozen turkey product from another company...

    Cat having trouble peeing - HELP

    Dr. Jean, you're absolutely right, it IS dog food. https://marinraw.com/collections/individual-ingredients The store has one blend for cats. I was so happy to find a raw pet food store near me here in northern CA using locally sourced meats, so I just went with it, with the help of the store...

    Cat having trouble peeing - HELP

    Thank you, Dr. Jean, for all this great info! The vet didn't do blood or urine that visit. Do you think this kidney stone could have been caused by eating salmon and dried shrimp treats? Or eating dried treats in general, like chicken hearts? These have been her daily treats. Do you think...

    Cat having trouble peeing - HELP

    Dr. Jeff, it resolved. 🤞 I will get that Urinary Gold just to have on hand. And I'll make broth from some chicken legs I got her (that she didn't know quite what to do with!). In re: your last email and Dr. Pitcairn's discussion of mindset -- I feel that, once again, she was picking up stress...

    Cat having trouble peeing - HELP

    Thanks for your response, Dr. Jeff. 🙏 No recent pancreatitis episodes. She got the ARS this morning. Then I took her to the vet to see if maybe he could diagnose or take blood. Her bladder was empty by the time we got there and I couldn't leave her for hours to wait. He said it's either a UTI...

    Cat having trouble peeing - HELP

    Note: She just ate some food. Her beef+tripe mix with added VitC, taurine and feline beast gut soothe. But she is still making repeated trips to the litter. Sometimes actually peeing a bit. And thinking back, the beginnings of this might have started a few weeks ago when I noticed her taking a...

    Vegan food for cats

    Thank you again, Dr. Jeff. I got some chicken necks so will experiment. About adding tofu to her raw meat mix, I kind of use it as a filler to stretch out the mix. So was wondering if that was OK nutritionally. 😺
