Have you tried feeding wet food to them? Wet food, particularly pates, are typically much lower in carbs for your diabetic cat, would be easy on your toothless guy, and also come in limited ingredient varieties. You mentioned you feed twice per day, so I take this to mean you don't have...

I'm not sure there is such a thing as low carb prescription food. It seems those prescription foods are full of carbs. You didn't mention why you need hydrolyzed food, or why you want it to be a prescription food. Do you also have a cat with food sensitivities? VTW, I have heard that if you...

I'm so, so sorry to be reading this about Ruby. What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful girl.

Both my boys are 15+ and I serve them 4 meals a day. One of them never cleans his bowl, and the other seldom does, no matter what food I feed. It's depressing, but I do it because they need to eat and if I don't, then I find little stomach acid throw-ups around the house. If you aren't having...

I would say this probably is not going to be enough food. There are a lot of variables here. How much does your cat weigh currently? Do you want him to lose weight? What is the make up of that Royal Canin pouch? (calories, protein, fat, etc) I would NOT say that every cat needs at least...

It sounds like he is on the correct medications for this issue, but you can't go wrong by adding in some Omega 3, and Vitamin B can help with appetite, if he's low on that Vitamin. Personally, I think probiotics are a good thing, though I don't think everyone agrees with that. Adding...

I feed one of my cats these as his "2nd breakfast". My other cat hates them. But I digress. I agree with you that this seems like a good trade off to get your cat to finish off her RX food without causing more issues. And I'm not sure I would even call them empty calories. They even have...

If you just want to feed them an hour earlier, that shouldn't present a problem. If they don't seem to be hungry yet, try moving it back in smaller increments, say 15 minutes the first few days, then 30 minutes for a couple days, then 45 minutes, and voila, and hour. I don't feed my cats at...

Unfortunately, I had to go with a dry food for the high fiber because both my cats are so darned picky and I wanted to put both of them on the high fiber food just in case the other cat started having issued too, which thankfully he didn't. Here is the food I finally found: None of the other...

With my cat who had C. Perf, we didn't even bother with antibiotics (even though the Vet did recommend them). We went straight for the S. Boulardi with MOS, AND the highest fiber food I could find. My cat did NOT like the S. Boulardi with MOS, so it was hit or miss getting that into him, so my...

That IS happy news!!!!!!!!!!!!

great news!

Have you tried putting soft claws on her so she can't hurt herself as badly? Sorry if this was already asked.

Well, I don't see anything with the Purina food that discusses Urinary health. Maybe I am missing it? The Iams definitely is for urinary health, but isn't for senior cats. I have two 15 year old cats and feed them Adult food, not senior food. Is there some reason you need to feed them Senior...

I am responding to your question about miracle supplements for kidney disease, which seems to have disappeared :dunno:. Sadly, there is no cure for kidney disease. Here is a wonderful website all about kidney disease in cats. Tanya's Comprehensive Guide to Feline Chronic Kidney Disease -...

We do have a sub-forum for raw and homemade food here: Raw & Home-Cooked Cat Food. Many people use a supplement like EZ Complete to add to their homemade foods (either raw or cooked) to make them 100% nutritionally complete, while others add in all the vitamins, calcium, eggs, and organ meats...

From his pictures, he doesn't look overweight to me. I had a kitten who WAS overweight because he ate everything in sight, including his brothers food, and at one year he weighed 16 pounds. Our Vet said he needed to lose 4 pounds, but he is now 15 years old and his "good" weight is just around...

First Mate is also a decent dry food. It contains brown rice and some berries, but other than that, nothing "weird".

To the original poster, Dasuquin is a stronger version of Cosequin, but I would discuss with your Vet using it with Solensia. I have no idea at all whether using it in tandem would be helpful, but possibly. And as stated above, heat is always helpful. I have also heard of people getting...

I did a search under "palladia" here on this site and got pages and pages of threads mentioning palladia, so I know many people have either thought about using it or have actually used it, but really, there is no way of knowing whether or not it bought anyone extra time, because there is no way...
