Good, glad he's eating better! He may have been fighting a bug along with the stress of moving. Getting a vet check is wise.

It may be wise to treat this as a total "new cat" situation since it is all new for him. The whole house may be too much for him. Try creating a base camp and introducing everything gradually: Base Camp -- How to Prepare for your New Cat | Little Big Cat - Dr. Jean Hofve Maybe try canned food...

All great suggestions, I would emphasize flower essences and EFT - simple and effective! Also add Play Therapy... anywhere a cat hunts becomes her safe territory. Here's all about it: Play Therapy | Little Big Cat - Dr. Jean Hofve

FF is a good transition food as Dr. Christina mentioned. It is not clean though, so moving to a better food would be your goal. I wonder if any of the frozen (e.g., Smalls) or freeze-dried raw diets (e.g., Stella & Chewy's, I know the other docs have their faves) would work for her. Those are...

If the food is complete and balanced according to normal standards then NO supplements are needed. Adding extra vitamins or minerals will absolutely undo that balance and can lead to toxicity. Products like Instinct and Alnutrin are meant to be added to plain meat and should NOT be used with a...

Great, will check it out when I have good internet in a few days.. Thanks!

Whatever is your preference… intuition, pendulum, finger ring technique, sway test…take your pick! Lots of info online!

The principles behind keeping her in one room are best explained here: Base Camp -- How to Prepare for your New Cat | Little Big Cat - Dr. Jean Hofve For flower essences, I would look here: Stress and see which one best fits her personality and the situation. Or, you can call the company and...

Agree with Dr. Jeff that susceptibility plays a huge role. However, the virus from the food and from the cat were an exact match, so that particular cat had that particular strain and according to necropsy that was the proximate cause of death. Why that individual cat was so susceptible, while...

The company would be best able to advise you what is missing that needs to be supplemented, if anything.

Hi, here is some info on traveling with your cat. (It needs a little updating but it's got your basics.) When moving, start flower essences well before the moving date--at least 2 weeks, even better at the same time you are packing boxes. How to Travel with Your Cat | Little Big Cat - Dr. Jean...

You're so right about the selling aspect. This is a great example. Dr. Andrew Jones is very well known. He was a practicing veterinarian in Canada. He was repeatedly warned and fined by the Veterinary Board for making claims prohibited by professional ethics, and other violations. He ultimately...

Oh, no, that's so sad but he had such a great life right to the last possible minute... you gave him so much love and care! Sending hugs!!

There are always stories of amazing cures for just about anything if you look for them. We don't know what other factors were operating in those cases, including the genetics of the cancer, the history, prior health, and genetics of the patient, and other treatments that may have been tried...

Glad Punk is feeling sparkier! To answer your question though, fenbendazole has been able to kill some types of cancer cells in petri dishes, but that rarely translates to real life. There is no evidence that it is useful for cancer in pets. The anti-parasitic dose (50-100 mg/kg) might kill a...

Hi Cayla! I agree with Dr. Jeff, if she's not eating what you're offering, give her something else. As much as you want her on all raw, she may not be ready for it. A kitten must eat, and eat well, for best health. At this moment, it matters much less what she eats, than that she regains her...

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that! Gosh he did so well for so long. What a trooper! Even though he is full of fluid, he could still be thirsty because that fluid isn't in his bloodstream. The thirst mechanisms would still operate as usual. Probably he is a bit dehydrated from losing so much...

I don't use krill oil, so am not familiar with dosing. It's my understanding that different brands may be diluted with different oils, which would change the EPA/DHA concentration. Sooo.... it depends.

Full is okay, as long as it's not hard. Give more vaseline to help it get out. Inert, safe, will "grease the skids" so to speak. (You may also be feeling bladder which is balloon shaped and not a concern). Bile duct is way the front end, up under the liver and stomach, nothing to do with poop at...

Or maybe that's the spleen. Weird picture, lol! But it's the dark brown thing with intestines behind it!
