So help me, if I gave another fur shot this morning.... *sigh*

Willie is otherwise back to his usual self. LB action looking a bit more normal, breffis eaten with gusto and he's having a bath now. Far more ambition than I've had this morning! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Our thoughts are with Claudia and Rocket, Jan and Sara, Amy and Zen and Roni and Moonie this week.

Fur shots. Frustrating beyond belief. Hope at least some got into Willie :?

Have a great day.
 
Re: 8/1 Willie AMPS 146

I hope no fur shot....his AMPS is much better today.

Christie: how much OmegaVia do you give Willie a day? I'm assuming not as much as you take. The Omega3 I give Gracie now is formulated by a local vet for pets and it has her getting 40mg of EFA/day and I don't remember the amount of DHA but it's less. The thing that bothers me is I do believe it has fillers. Did Dr. Lisa give you an amount/lb?

Thank you!!! Have a great day.

Nice AMPS, but Oh No! not another furshot! ohmygod_smile There seems to be an epidemic going on. But sometimes we just worry that it happened again, so paws crossed.
 
Re: 8/1 Willie AMPS 146

Marjorie-- Willie's food recipe calls for 14 fish oil pills per batch, and Dr. Lisa didn't specify any particular kind/strength of fish oil. I called and asked if I needed to reduce that number if I was using a pharmaceutical grade fish oil, and she said no. A batch of food is designed to last approximately nine days, so that would work out to a capsule and a half a day. That was taking into account his skin needs and using the oil as a fat source as well.

In contrast, I typically take 5 a day to help alleviate inflammation (and get all those heart health benefits as well!).

One thing you could do would be to email the nutritionist, Vin, who runs the OmegaVia blog. He's a really nice guy and I know he did a blog post on pets once, though it focused more on dogs than cats (as he's a dog lover).

Posting some more general fish oil info in Loose Lips for everyone (yes, it is one of my soapboxes!)!

Hi Christie & Willie,
So sorry about the FUR shot, but maybe it wasn't one! Furshotitis is sweeping the board :lol:
Interesting about the fish oil and I'm looking forward to reading about it on Loose Lips.

Willie, don't let the fur shot cramp your style. Rusty came down from his and so will you.
Have a good one, guys,

Ella & Rusty

Hey Willie: lots of grillin' to do today at Angel's OTJ party. See ya later!
Rusty
 
So, at least this morning wasn't a total fur shot. Got a massage right after shot time, which helped with the tension that had been building up in my back and neck.

Willie has been Senor Sassypants tonight. He's cross at me right now b/c I won't let him outside.

It is almost 10:30 and I'm going to bed. No outside time tonight.
What do you MEAN no outside time?!?
Dude, it's late. Mama is tired. We'll go outside tomorrow.
[walks towards door in a dramatic huff] But I want to go outside right NOWWWWWWWWW!
Seriously, kid. Not happening.
Fine. But I'm going to yell at you one more dramatic TIIIIIIIMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE. [exits kitchen in another dramatic huff]

And for anyone who doesn't think cats know exactly what we're saying to them....

Willie came up on the couch and dragged his butt today, which he's never done before (not sure who jinxed us on this one today, but I will find you!! :lol: :lol: :lol: ). I hollered at him, and he then pouted on the back of the couch for half an hour so, after which time, the following ensued:

You were a naughty kitty earlier. We don't drag our butts on the sofa. That is not cool.
Wink.
Don't you wink at me, Mister!!
Wink.
Really?!?! You think I'm just going to let you wink at me like that?!?
Wink.
Oh, I bet you think you're real funny right now.
Wink.
Okay, Enough with the winking!!!!
Wink.

And the Dubster has never been a winking kind of cat. Rhymes with hiss and vinegar this boy is tonight!!

One last thing... since we're back on raw, his poops are much smaller, as to be expected. I am contemplating adding Miralax to help keep things moving for him... just wondered what others were doing for dose/frequency. Thanks!!

G'night all!
 
I LOVE the verbetim dialogue between you and Willie. I, too, know for a fact that our kitties know exactly what we're saying....and laugh at us quite frequently when they choose to ignore us. They're like nasty little middle-schoolers!!! :lol: :lol:
 
Moonie's on Miralax for 2 yrs now & poops like a Champ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
No really!! Try it! 1/8th tsp in the food--works like a charm--Hugs from Us!! Ni Ni!
 
Hahaha! I can totally see that happening! Cats really tell it like it is -- in their own cat way.

Serves you right for not letting him outside! Hahahaha!
