Yes those are the painkiller (left) and antibiotic (right). They are justified and should be given. You may want to add a tiny pinch of fiber to her food from now on, and extra water, to help her stool pass more easily. I am glad they gave her a painkiller, most vets here wouldn't think it...

Never heard of a hemorrhoid in a cat in 30+ years of feline practice. Definitely get her in tomorrow. She may need enema, manual feces removal, definitely fluids. How old is she? What does she eat? Any history of digestive problems? Do you know how to give fluids at home? I know you're far...

Well finally Richard and I agree on something, lol! ;-)

All of the above... but why I say they like it (only half joking) is that so many cats do it so consistently they *must* like it--but probably because it makes them feel so much better. Why did they feel the need in the first place? There we look to an energetic imbalance. That's where things...

You can always try meat baby food, there's usually beef, ham or veal as options. One thing to know about Fancy Feast (or any food with this ingredient), if it says "meat by-products," that can include meat from cows, pigs, sheep and/or goats. The proportion of each can vary from 0 to 100%. If...

Kittens don't generally put on fat, that doesn't happen until after spaying or >1 - 2 years of age. Mostly I recommend feed them as much as they will eat. Unless you feed a lot of carbs she will not get fat. And that's fine. She will eventually develop a little fat pad on her belly but do not...

Raw food shouldn't be left out for more than 30 minutes, max. If she hasn't eaten it, put it away and try again in a few hours or at the next mealtime. Raw meat contains bacteria that, at room temperature, multiply every 20 minutes, making it dangerous to consume if it's been sitting for too...

I know this has been a struggle. Have you tried feeding her other things besides the raw recently? Maybe add a topper? Is there something she likes better? I've had good luck with sprinkling Wysong DentaTreat on food. How many calories per gram are in the food you're using? (This info is...

I recommend this: Making Cat Food This is the recipe, but I highly recommend reading the rest of Dr. Pierson's info for all the how's and why's of making the food.

Some easy possibilities include flower essences, EFT, and Tellington TTouch. Things like WEBB, acupuncture, and chiropractic can be useful if there are physical imbalances. There are many calming herbs, but for a dog like Bhakti, you want to address the root of the problem, not just band-aid...

You still need to ask them, since we do not have a complete readout of what exactly how much of each nutrient is in it, what is missing, etc. When I was working with a formulator, the list of ingredients and nutrients ran to 11 pages of Excel workbook. Change one tiny thing, and changes cascaded...

As a backup Halo Ear Wash is okay, though I dilute it with water by 50% because the witch hazel can sting a bit.

Don't know if you remember, but Tonya was a vet school classmate of mine and was one of the four from our class who attended your weekend seminar in 1993, our Junior year!

I think yes, as well, but new info is coming all the time and I'm keeping a close eye on it!

Caution: do not use flower essences directly on the sores, they contain alcohol. Use on the paws, top of head, just get them into her energy body.

Hi Louise, well (of course) it depends. Here's what I can find in my research: You're right, it's not really a vaccine, and wouldn't carry the side effects of traditional vaccines, especially the adjuvanted ones. Adverse effects tend to be local and mild (injection site pain, redness...

I just posted our newsletter tonight. https://littlebigcat.substack.com/p/january-2025 One correction: I only gave Massachusetts, New York, and Maryland credit for having passed declaw bans. Virginia passed one, but it is so weak, watered down, and full of loopholes it doesn't count and I'm...

Just get the stool re-checked in a few weeks. It may take more than one treatment. But we definitely want those bad guys outta there!

The SP tablets are not particularly large but I guess it depends on your definition! They are pressed tablets, uncoated, and can readily be crushed. Of course, since boswellia, ginger and turmeric are all herbs, the same precautions apply. They are great for pain, but you don't take painkillers...

Remind me how old they are now? For nutritional joint support, like Omega-3 oil, hyaluronic acid or glucosamine, those can (and should) be given constantly and forever. Just having had my old arthritic joints x-rayed yesterday, it was a sharp reminder that they do not get better with time, and...
