Hi are there any other selected proteins besides rabbit, duck and venison? Trixie has recently started meds for small cell lymphoma and has become picky with these proteins and does not want them anymore but will eat regular proteins that she Should
Thank you for submitting your question regarding Trixie. You will want to feed a prescription diet as over-the-counter formulas are notoriously contaminated with protein sources not listed on the label. If you are having trouble finding a palatable protein, then I would recommend feeding a hydrolyzed diet. The protein sources in these prescription diets are hydrolyzed or chopped into tiny pieces do the body's immune system cannot recognize them. This is ideal for a patient with IBD. I find Royal Canin Veterinary Diets Ultamino very palatable to cats. Another option would Purina Proplan Veterinary Diets HA. I hope this information helps!

My cat has been drinking more water lately and she has been soaking the bottom of the litter box with pee which is unusual for her. She is 11. Is this something to worry about?
I would recomend a vet check up for Trixie. Increase in water consumption and urination can potentially be signs of diabetes or kidney disease. The vet may recommend doing a urinalysis and or bloodwork. Good luck. I hope all is well for Trixie.

Trixie is my indoor cat but I have an outoor cat that has recently come into the picture and my vet believes he is the reason for trixies off behavior and lack of appetite. Trixie has been examined and had bloodwork and nothing irregular found medica
The multi cat diffuser may give you slightly better results but they both will likely help. The diffusers are nice because it’s a constant infusion of the pheromone that occurs even when you are not home. Other things that can help Trixie to feel more calm are to provide climbing opportunities that satisfy her natural instincts. A tall cat tree or shelves mounted to the wall with a bed on top can help some cats feel more secure. Set aside 30 minutes a day for vigorous play as tiring her out may result in less anxiety. Royal Canin also makes a diet called Calm that affects the serotonin levels in the brain and some cats do very well on this diet. If she continues not to do well, medications may help. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!

Trix just started treatment for small cell lymphoma(Leukeran & prednisolone).Since treatment & in the weeks b4 her diagnosis, she became very picky about food, no longer wanting her Rx novel protein foods. I’ve tried several other Rx digestive and GI
Hello sorry to hear about Trixie. If her small cell lymphoma is in her intestines, it’s likely that her IBD has become the lymphoma. There’s a few studies describing this process. However, given that she is being treated with pred, this will often also suppress any flare ups of IBD. Often as pets begin to respond to treatment they may regain their normal appetite, and occasionally we can make use of appetite stimulants to achieve this sooner. Given that she has been on a novel protein diet, it is likely best to continue this same food, but if she is not eating anything other than fancy feast this may also be acceptable for now. I would recommend speaking with your veterinarian about Trixies diet to determine if you need to worry about feeding her something other than fancy feast or if she needs appetite stimulants to go back to eating her regular diet. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hi! We have this cat room (pictures attached) because they don't get along with Pharah. Is the cat room okay? We can't really afford any cat "furniture" right now or the doggy gates so we have a long chair in front. Dog doesn't go there and cats can
Hi, in terms of cat furniture don’t worry cats don’t need anything particularly fancy. They enjoy sitting on a shelf as in the picture and look outside the window. You would add some cardboard boxes that can also work as cratching posts and a couple of pillow on the bookshelf. I think the feeding area would better be moved, because being right in front of the windows is exposed, they can see/be seen and could spot something that might upset them. It is also advisable to keep feeding areas away from their litter tray and perhaps moving it would help increasing this distance. Are there only two cats in the room ? If so also consider the number of litter trays. I mo not sure how many you have at present, and if things work out well I probably would suggest not to change them. You can find lots of ideas in building/creating cat furniture from ikea furniture if you fancy a change in the future. Also cats will need to be active and interact with you so make sure you consider this in your rou
