BEAM score? Behavior - Cappuccine has been trying more to avoid feedings. After all the feedings today, so far, she just wanted to sleep. She got up occasionally and changed positions or areas in the room. Energy - Very low Appetite - There was one time today when she was looking for food, but...

Hello, Ok, I get it. :) So, We reduced the cerenia to a little less than 3/4. Meaning that we gave her a less than 3/4 dosage. Original dosage was 0.33mg. Cappuccine has been grinding her teeth and licking, more so than she did before. What can you make of this? Should we give her the rest of...

Hmmm...I guess this is an acronym I don't know. ?

Ok, wonderful about CS. I am always a bit hesitant to alter "the plan". I am praying to the angel of peace for more self-confidence. Her teeth grinding was yesterday. We lowered the dosage by 1/4 today only, so far. I am hoping it works out that this does not.open a window for her to vomit. I...

Thank you for all this!!! I am finally feeling as if I know something. Cappuccine had another bowel movement. Larger than the last one! Same texture and color--medium brown. Maybe a bit less soft. But, with positive comes not so positive: During the 2nd and 3rd feedings, she was grinding her...

You, too!!! It was moist, medium brown in color. Then, there was a very small harder one on the floor, unfortunately. Ok, thank you. I will begin the celery water tomorrow. 1cc to start. She is very sensitive. We didn't do anything differently. She may have had a reiki session yesterday, but...

Thank you for all your answers, which are, as always, most helpful. The vet said Monday that, while Cappuccine is at home, she doesn't want us to give her electrolytes because of the potential to cause high potassium levels. Maybe this has something to do with the potassium in her food or...

Thank you very much, Dr Jeff for your compassion. I asked you a bunch of questions today. Here is a new situation: Cappuccine's vet wants to give her an enema and Miralax again if the xray shows a full intestine. I believe that this is what caused her downward spiral because they did not...

Dear Dr Jeff, I agree completely...I find that my mind takes over when I am faced with this situation. Panic mode sets in, and it is consuming. How did you and your wife manage to stay grounded? I have practices, but they are not consistent enough: meditation, Wim Hof method breathing...

Thank you. The problem has progressed into a 50/50 survival problem. Hepatic lipidosis. We had a feeding tube inserted, and while at the vet, she was eating quite a bit. We brought her home, but we have been having trouble feeding her nearly enough without her vomiting. They want to put her on...

Thank you for this. I will try it. I am also getting conflicting advice: Is it ok to give syringes of water to her? She vomited and she had also been on Miralax. Would there be harm in giving water in a syringe to her? She just vomited a hairball, and with it some liquid that was brownish. She...

Thank you for your response. She had been eating Instinct Rabbit (one protein) and Open Farm Beef. She will not eat anything now. And, earlier today, she had a bowel movement, then urinated, and it looked yellow/green. Then, she kept going to the litter box trying to urinate again with no luck...

Hello, My cat, Cappuccine (almost 10 y o, himalayan mix, less than 8 lbs) was constipated after slowing down eating, vomiting three days in a row. Didn't poop since Friday July 21. Gave her lots of water and 1/2 tsp coco oil per day. Vet on Monday. X-ray showed impacted poop. Gave her enema and...

I am sorry! I didn't answer your other questions: Her diet is Instinct Rabbit one protein, Honest Kitchen salmon and cod. I give her Nzymes granules and ION Intelligence Gut Support for Pets, as well as 1/4 tsp of coconut oil (cold pressed, organic, nonhydrogenated...). I give her several drops...

so

She will be about 10 years old in August.

Hello, Thank you for your comments and all the information. When the vet saw her in Feb or March, she said that Cappuccine had some plaque or tartar. I don't remember which. She said that Cappuccine would need cleaning in the near future. I look at her gums, and they are pale pink, so I don't...

Hello, I wasn't sure where to post this, so I will start here. I am challenged to find an alternative to having my cat (Cappuccine) put under anesthesia for a teeth cleaning. She has had medical challenges in the past--liver congestion, kidney/pancreas--most likely from vaccinations. I spent a...
