I Try To Feed My Cats Tuna/seafood Flavored Wet Foods As Sparingly As Possible, But…
I try to feed my cats tuna/seafood flavored wet foods as sparingly as possible, but Sebastian is becoming picky to the point where he will only eat his dry food (Nutro high-protein) or tuna (Blue Buffalo gourmet) or a now discontinued shrimp/chicken/duck combo (Wellness). He will eat some chicken canned foods from those brands, but not always and not much of it. Is it unhealthy for him to have tuna about 4 times a week? He gets 1 3oz can a day, split into 2 servings and about 1/4c of dry food.
I’ve tried mixing a small amount of other food in with the tuna but then he refuses to eat any of it.

Couple Weeks Ago JD Came With Swelling Above His Eye; Figured It Was A Sting…
Couple weeks ago JD came with swelling above his eye; figured it was a sting so treated with Benadryl. It went away. Now, two weeks later, almost,the same area above the same eye swollen again just like last time.

Dawn Ferara, DVM It is possible that he got stung in the same general area, however, I am concerned about the lump reoccurring in the same area. I would recommend getting the swelling examined by a vet because it is better to be safe than sorry.

Jana Post author I know, right? So weird. It’s coming down again. If it was below the eye I’d suspect a tooth. But this is above the eye brow … I’d also expect infection from a foreign body or something like that last longer than that without some targeted treatment as Benadryl doesn’t treat infections. I bet it will be gone before the day is over today. So it’s just strange. What other types of swelling would Benadryl treat for good? (I wouldn’t assume one day of Benadryl would treat anything for two weeks)

At first we thought it was food stuck in his ear so tried to comb it out last night. Today he’s been scratching his ear. It’s become worse and become a scab/sore.

Natasha Clarke Try mixing about a teaspoon and a half of salt with a bowl of warm water and wash it with that. Salt water works miracles☺️

Dawn Ferara, DVM At 10 weeks old he should be seeing his vet about every 3 weeks for vaccinations etc, so I would make sure to show this to your vet during his next appt. However, if the area gets worse I would schedule an appointment sooner.
Good Luck

julie brader Hello Bettye, there are a few foods you can use to wean the puppies.
A lot of people use baby rice but mix it with goats milk, dogs cannot digest cows milk.
You don’t say what breed the puppies are but for my Cocker Spaniel puppies I used to give then a walnut size ball of raw minced steak once s day.
Do some research on the internet and you’ll find lots of advice on what to feed puppies of your breed/size. Good luck!

Dawn Ferara, DVM I would get a good quality puppy kibble and soften it with the puppy milk. Good Luck

Autumn Hello.
I apologize for the response being so late, but we hope everything was able to be diagnosed and treated. Sounds like this could’ve been an allergy to something or a possible flare up causing hot spots.
Please let us know if there is anymore questions/concerns we may be able to help with

Autumn Hello.
This sounds like an abscess of some sort. Does she go outside? Get into fights with any other animals?
We hope everything was able to be resolved.
I was taught, too many years ago, that a seafood heavy diet it not good for male cats. Can cause kidney problems. I have four male cats and I take it very easy on the seafood. Asher is very picky, but when he gets hungry enough he will eat. We’ve had several stand-off’s over canned food. I give him 20 minutes to start eating a new food. Then I take it away and put it out again at the next feeding time. I leave dry food out all the time. Canned is once a day at 8 p.m. He constantly tries to convince me that he’s starving at 7 p.m. and the new food is no good. He’ll even knock the dish on the floor. So far he’s letting me win.
