6726276 tn?1421126668 How many times per week can Kitty have People Tuna with extra water added. I heard cats aren't supposed to have too much tuna. I'd like to supplement her dry kibble,hunted kills, with some tuna. I've never purchased wet canned food. When I foster groups of kittens & moms, I make a special wet food from a mix the stores sell here,in Costa Rica, for Menudo Soup. Plus dry kibble. Plus lots of available water. Thank you.
Avatar n tn I've also known of cats who scratch too much with absolutely no skin problems. It's kindda rare but it does happen. OCD in dogs is a bit more comon I believe. Hopefully, your cat has a skin condition which can easily be treated. OCD is much more treaky. One of the magazines I get on my email has this article which I hope you'll find interesting in case the vet tells you she has absolutely no skin conditions but her condition is behavioral. Here is the article.

1979418 tn?1432135441 No talking sensse into her, so she decides they can live in her mini van... she diappears again, drives to my sister in law work where two cats apparently jump out the window, so we are down to 9 cats in the cat van parade.... She ends up back at my aunts and spends the night there, cats int he van and I am able to arrange with animal control to investigate. But, they get there and can't seize the cats cause its on private property.

That should illustrate for you how rare it is. And, the numbers continue to decrease. Obviously, it goes without saying that drinking to excess to the point of blackouts is VERY unwise, for a whole host of reasons.
1017158 tn?1257730640 ) most women have a higher risk of getting toxo from gardening than they do from their cats. Most toxo cases in the US come from eating undercooked meat rather than cats. As long as your litter box is scooped daily, you can markedly decrease the potential for transmission of toxoplasmosis to you. The parasite needs 24+ hours to become infective after being passed in the cats' stool. Cats can get toxoplasmosis from hunting wild animals or from digging in gardens and soil.
Avatar n tn m noticing that there is some kitty litter stuck in the wounds. Can this cause any kind of infection? Do I still need to take him to the Vet? Thanking you in advance for your time!
Avatar f tn when we stress, it lets off a chemical in our body that gets released into our hormones that delays the period.
6726276 tn?1421126668 That's what I love about cats. Akira is definitely a lap cat and a cuddle buddy. I took some cute pictures with the new camera phone that I haven't been able to figure out how to download to the computer yet, but one of the pictures shows Akira in her basket reaching out with her paw telling me she wants me to pet her. My previous cat was affectionate with me, but she was painfully shy and was never one to be a lap cat. So, they definitely have different personalities.
Avatar f tn t the problem, as with people, cats too gain weight when they consume a diet high in carbs and dry food is loaded in carbs...grains even potatoes anything for FILLERS. they are getting more fillers than actual protien. Its not going to be easy but I do suggest you get all your cats not only Spencer on a canned food diet. feed 2-3x's day....cats in general do not consume more than what they need, and canned food cats are rarely overweight.
Avatar n tn seems like my cats in pain when she comes in heat, she looks like a rabbit when she props herself, and every touch she acts like that, sometimes when she's touched i wonder if it feels to her like a thousand needles tips....but this last time she was in heat it seems like its wearing her out..she looks like she hasn't slept...and starting to act as if shes out of it..she EVEN act as if she like my energetic grandsons (1,4, &7) lol...
514428 tn?1287598456 well when in doubt call the doctor that is what i do i have also had decrease movements in the past few days but she is stillmoving just not like she was before and now her movements are hurting me which is nothin i had before with my other too. Most likely ur baby lac of movement is due to the running out of room that is what my doctor told me. Most likely if the movement is decrease they will have u come in for a non stress test to make sure things are ok.
Avatar f tn do start a flea treatment program with your cats....I do use Advantage drops monthly for my dog and did for my cat. Humans can carry in fleas...if you it is dry and humid, or really wet outside they will attach and come on in...they are small enough to come through screens and cracks in the door....if you have adjacent neighbors who have cats or dogs that roam outside, or friends who visit who have animals, use Advantage or a like product monthly....better safe than sorry.
1626256 tn?1299951359 anyone who abandons animals ( we adopt make commitment) deserves Hell. my opinion. but people change and cats change too. and they do know love and fear. I know you didn't say you were getting rid of cat but just my feeling. now if you can give cat extra hugs and reassurance (also make sure cat is fixed( 4 million killed ,murdered in pounds etc each year) but cat will calm down if you quit talking to us about this and talk to your cat.
Avatar m tn I would find ways to decrease his stress. Try putting him in a room with his litter box and food. A smaller space will help him feel more secure and allow him to adapt slowly. I would let him stay there for at least a month, if not longer. This is the best thing for him. He's a senior and his stress level needs to come down before it affects his immune system and makes him sick.
Avatar f tn The next day my brother found a homeless kitten trapped in the woods behind our house in a storm and I took it in also.. now they are walking On my furniture and have ruined my office chair in my bedroom. I am very stressed and start cramping when I get so aggravated and don't know what to do.. my furniture is new and I can't afford to buy more.. what was I thinking, what's wrong with my head...
Avatar f tn it all depends on how u deal with stress. When you are stressed out, your body pumps out different hormones-obviously the stress hormones that increase heart rate n things like that. Some stress is normal. N if u can cope with them, your body's stress hormones level out but if you're constantly stressed, u can be affecting the baby. I remember learning in school that too much stress during pregnancy can be associated with low birth weight and/or premature birth.
731561 tn?1263318595 Why do you have a defibrillator? Many people with heart failure have one put in. Your doctor would be the only person that can tell you if you have heart failure. S/he can do the proper tests to see what condition your heart is in. Being tired and forgetful can be caused by so many things such as thyroid problems, stress, heart, etc. If you haven't been to the cardiologist recently, it may be a time for a check up again.
Avatar m tn if you are going to go for it then now might be the right time to do that as Pegasys works better for younger people as well produces less side effects on young patients. On the other hand it sometimes can have substantial side effects so you would have to be under a close care of a good experienced doctor...
740516 tn?1360942486 I was wondering cats could do that because I know the hormone ( ocitocine)for is produced at the brain level not ovaries and stimulated by sucking - at least its the way it works with humanes. But maybe cats are different, I dont know...
