Looks like Trix MAY be starting to work this dose a bit. We'll see...

Petey ate a decent breakfast this morning. I think the cerenia made him feel funky last night. Either that, or it was post-vetty stress (I know I had a boatload of that!)...he wasn't quite himself I'm just so emotionally exhausted with all that has been going on here. I wonder about his thyroid and kidneys, but I also do wonder if there's something about this latest food he's been eating. I think his two brothers/littermates also look a bit thinner and are being more finnicky/barfy. It's a huge problem, though...all three have the same sensitivities (can't digest chicken, grains, or fish), won't eat canned, won't eat the limited ingredient diets. I've found exactly TWO foods that fit the bill...Blue Basics Grain-Free Turkey (their current diet), and Wellness Core Grain-Free Turkey and Duck (their former diet). They were doing OK on the Wellness, but then my vet told me she's seen a dramatic increase of cats developing urinary crystals on Wellness. So, I tried a CA Natural food...that was an absolute litter box disaster. Then I found this Blue Basics. It is dramatically improved the litter box...but DH and I both think (but aren't positive) that it was after we started this food (back in October-ish) that the foamy barfy thing started increasing. It's hard to tell for sure, though...so many cats, so many health issues....

Anyway, because the blood draw was last evening, we probably won't have his results back until later tomorrow...

I'm sorry I've been borrowing Trix's condo so much for my civvies...but not many people understand how much my cats mean to my the way my LL peeps do.

Have a great day, everyone!

Hi Amy, sending tons of healing vines and prayers for Petey today, as well as his siblings with all their food sensitivities. You've had more than your share lately. I hope the Labs come thru today possible to show what's going on with Petey. The waiting is torture I know. I remember your Vet's concern with the Wellness and crystals. Sending comfort vines and hugs for you.

Hi Amy,
Sending lots of vines to Petey. What a conundrum with regard to the foods issue. You might try By Nature Turkey and Turkey Liver. It's not on Dr. Lisa's list because they would not provide her with some of the data she requested, but the food is grain-free and all meat and I believe it is about 2% carbs. Stu liked it a lot. Rusty will eat it, but prefers Wellness. By Nature also has an "organics" line of Turkey and Turkey Liver, but the texture is "fluffy" and Stu would not eat it.

Nice start to the day for Trixie.

Hang in there, Amy!

Hugs,
Ella & Rusty

Lookin' good for Trix.

Petey ate a good few rounds this morning, but he's not having anything to do with that pill pocket pepcid. Hopefully having food in his belly will help. He's not himself, though...much quieter than usual...I'm wondering if that's from the cerenia. I read that lethargy is a side effect.

Zen, however, barfed again. He barfed right before we left for the vet with Petey last night. He seems fine, though. This is par for the course, with these guys and their food issues. I can't stand it.

I am going to try a food experiment with them I think...switching them completely back to the Wellness Core to see if that clears up some of these issues. I know things are never going to be perfect with them...they're just too sensitive. Maybe this is the best we're going to get.... :YMSIGH:

Damn, sorry about all these food issues, hope you can get them resolved, or stabilized at least :-|
Nice cycle for Miss Trixie :smile:

Oh my, Amy, I had no idea you had such special needs furbabies. How stressful that must be. Sending tons of vines for Petey and his brothers, and anxiously awaiting BW results with you.
 
Re: 1/3 Trixie AMPS 199 +3.5 134 +6 106

Amy, that's great to heat Petey is eating some and dang those pill pockets. They are too smart. Good luck with the food experiment.
 
Re: 1/3 Trixie AMPS 199 +3.5 134 +6 106

Morning guys so sorry for all you are going through with your furbabies!!! ((Amy)) Hugs!!!! Nice to see Trixie doing well on this dose. Hope the bloodwork comes back good. Good luck with the food experiment! Hope you have a good day!
 
Re: 1/3 Trixie AMPS 199 +3.5 134 +6 106

It's good to see Trixie is doing good. I hope the food experiment helps your other kitties. Sending prayers for Petey to feel better and you to get good lab results.

Trix is flat as can be, civvies are doing fine tonight, and beans are just tuckered out. No word on Petey's BW...probably tomorrow. I really am suspcious of the fuds...I love my babies, but I'm jealous of all those people with carefree kitties.....

((((Amy)))) You've certainly got a lot to deal with. I thought having one picky eater was a challenge. And you've got 3? Yikes. Sometimes it's just too much. I totally understand.

Amy

Sorry to be late and sending you and DH some comfort vines. It's so hard sometimes when it seems like it's always something with a multi cat household. We empathize. I hope you get the diet issues sorted out and Peteys be comes back normal.

Trix is looking very nice today!
