How are you doing, @LisaArk ? Holidays are especially tough while grieving.

Dr. Jeff. How many of the arnica tablets will I give daily? Yes, I have been trying to give him human meat. But, for example, he attacked the chicken yesterday afternoon but was a lot less enthusiastic about it today. Same with the sardines and mackerel. He was attacking them the night before...

Thank you, Dr. Jeff. I am familiar with Boiron, although I've never used their products. I ordered this morning from Amazon. Strange, I had looked for it there initially but that one did not come up. Thank you for the link! Any advice on encouraging/supporting good appetite post-op? Bach has...

Hi Dr. Jeff, The arnica arrived this afternoon. Just wanted to make sure this one is acceptable and not harmful. Thanks!

Hi Dr. Jeff, I sent you an update during Monday's Zoom talk but not sure if you saw it. The surgery went well. The CBD was very dilated, as the stone had migrated into the duodenal papilla but the gallbladder looked normal. Biopsies of the liver and duodenum were collected. Intra/ post- op was...

Lisa, I'm very sorry. Just now seeing your update, as Bach was discharged on Monday. What a fortunate kitty Punk was to have been cared for so well by you! Do you have any favorite photos you can share (if you feel up to it)?

I'm sorry Punk's not having a great day. Sounds like he's a fighter, though. I'll send positive thoughts your way. Glad you like Bach's name. That was his name in the Facebook post I saw about 4 orange cats on the rescue only list at one of the L.A. City shelters in January 2011. I am not sure...

My cat, Bach, is scheduled for a cholecystectomy with biopsies tomorrow. To answer the above questions, he is a 14 year old, neutered DSH. He was a 16 lb kitty down to 10 something pounds now. Behavior is normal, energy is normal for him, appetite is good, mood seems pretty normal. He's been on...

Hi @LisaArk , I have been following Punkin's story for the past couple of weeks. I also have a presumed IBD kitty, Bach, with gallstones and stones in the common bile duct so your story caught my attention and I decided to join. Hope Punk is doing well today.
