    Thank you, both! I had successfully trimmed all her nails (except those dew claws) in one setting! I will go slow and let her feel that she's in control :)

    Kitten constipated?

    Yes - she is. We add a pinch of fiber detox (Hope left her a brand new jar) in her food and I think it's helping. Thanks, Dr. Jeff!

    Kitten constipated?

    o_O I read your articles elsewhere that you use vaseline! Thank you. We're seeing a pattern now - she goes every other day. I also learned from your article to try putting out two litter boxes which we did and guess what?! she pees in one and poops in the other! That's so interesting....Thanks...

    Kitten constipated?

    On Sunday night around 10pm, Hope was showing intense discomfort and distress (i.e., panting and trembling) - we found a great emergency hospital nearby. They took x-rays and ultrasound as well as bloodwork and determined that she’s primed for surgery to have the uterus removed. The surgeon just...

    Pyometra

    I love your practical experience and "big mouth" :) <---both are very valuable. I love getting advice from the amazing vets here but advice from pet guardians is just as valuable and helpful. I agree - I feel she will not need all of those Rxs. I also have CBD with some THC which she's been on...

    Pyometra

    Thank you, @GinnyW and @Dr. Jeff - We're scheduled for surgery this coming Monday by our original local vet. I have Arnica 10M ready - how often and when would you suggest I dose her? Dr. Gordon is familiar with Arnica and he will give Hope Arnica right before the surgery.

    Pyometra

    @Dr. Jeff @Dr. Sara @Dr. Christina @Dr. Jean Hofve - We brought our senior girl to a new vet today (because the local vet we usually go to was closed) because she has abdominal distention and large amount of blood discharging. The new vet mentioned a few things which I would like your opinions...

    Earthing mats and ionbox for cats

    Hi All, I was wondering if a cat is being kept indoors at all times, would the cat miss out on the benefits of grounding/earthing? Would it be a good idea to place an earthing mat in its cage? Has anyone here tried that? Additionally, would it be okay to use the ionbox on a kitten? I have a...

    Hope was so kind and patience with the kitten until the kitten scratched her tail :confused: - now she's afraid of the kitten most of the time!

    Non-toxic cat litter and kitten food recommendations

    Thank you, @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff - She's quite a handful (no pun intended :cat2:) - We switched her from canned food (Ziwi Peak) to frozen raw food (Quest - it came highly recommended: Raw Cat Food Archives). We will add frozen raw by Viva and SmallBatch in her rotation. She also gets raw...
