Hi @Dr. Jean Hofve @Dr. Jeff, What are your thoughts about stainless steel litter boxes? I've read that the surfaces of these litter boxes are non-porous which eliminates odor retention and stains, they're more hygienic also. I'm not sure how kittens/cats feel about the light-reflective nature...

Hello @Dr. Jeff, Our kitten didn't finish her breakfast and only ate 1/2 of her lunch. Then I just found some very loose stool in her litter box. Based on our journal entries, there wasn't any drastic change to her diet recently - in fact, she only likes rabbit and pork and sometimes we would...

Hi @Dr. Jean Hofve - So the company I reached out to never responded again to my additional question...oh well. I found these organic wheat litters that I believe can be used for kitties: Organic Wheat Straw Litter | Blue Mountain Hay [can also be found on Amazon: Amazon.com] --> we placed an...

I agree but I wanted further clarification on that...To me, their response was a bit vague...and they do not have certification. :) :cat2:

@Dr. Jean Hofve - This is the response I got from them today: Our Organic Soy Litter is made from 100% natural soybeans, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cat litters. It's designed with your pet's health and the environment in mind. What does "Organic" mean in our product...

really?! o_O

@Dr. Jean Hofve - I found this organic tofu cat litter - what do you think? Organic Soy Cat Litter Bag I have reached out to this company re their sourcing and organic certification - per the agent, the raw materials are from the US and they ship the materials to China to get them made into...

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 :)

Hi @Dr. Jean Hofve and @Dr. Jeff, All of us at home are getting beauty marks on our arms and legs that are graciously marked by our kitten...she has long and sharp nails! What is the best way to trim a kitten's nails? We'd like to start trimming her nails at home and getting her used to this...

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!

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...

Hi @Dr. Jeff and @Dr. Jean Hofve The kitten we recently rescued (she's about six weeks old now) does not defecate every day. Her BEAM is excellent. She's on a raw food diet with raw goat milk and structured water in the food. Some of the raw blends have veggies in them but some don't - we...

Thanks LilF - I don't think my heart will ever be healed.

Hi @Dr. Jeff - will this be ok to use on a kitten?

Her heart crashed. We lost our girl.

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...

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...

These will be prescribed for Hope for post op Hope will need pain medication, anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory medication. Gabapentin Galliprant Ondansetron Any alternatives for these Rx?

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.
