    so, my tom has IBD.  it was a STRUGGLE to find something that worked with his system – if he’s eating something that doesn’t cooperate with his gut, he has house-clearing BMs and if left to run its course, ends up with a lot of bloody stool.

    it may honestly require a food change, and you may have to feed them separately.  i’d get him checked for any possible health problems – you never really know when something is just a little off with cats, since they never show it.  then i’d look into possible food changes.

    what do you feed now?

    This is a great example of how every person and animal have unique systems, especially digestive systems. some can be sensitive to one food and not another. The holistic approach is to see the stinky stool as one of the early warning signs of internal imbalance (see more at http://christinachambreau.com/learn-more/free-articles/early-warning-signs-of-ill-health). if any of the following suggestions helps, but you have to continue using them, you need to seek out the help of an integrative veterinarian. You can find links to all the organizations on my site under links. 

    1. Get a stool checked for parasites
    2. Add a really good probiotic (I love Mitomax – see it at my site or go to PetsMaxCity.com) and try that for 2 weeks. 
    3. If still stinky, see if he will eat raw meat (chicken, turkey, beef, etc). If he will, start feeding that with the probiotic mixed in. Then read some of the books that teach you how to feed a raw meat diet (Dr. Becker’s guide to real food for healthy dogs and cats, or anitra Frazier’s Natural Cat) so you can balance it. 
    4. do not let either cat eat dry food as it can cause some health issues, especially for the kidneys. 
    5. Learn Reiki and offer that every day.
    If you want to learn more about these approaches with personal coaching for your cat, email me for an appointment (HealthyAnimals@aol.com)

How do I stop my male cat from playing in the water dish? He has the floor all wet all the time. I put water in his dish then empty it as soon as he’s done drinking but I would rather leave water in the dish.,

    ^^ was going to suggest a fountain.

    also, i don’t know if this came to mind Dr. M, but my queen started playing in her water more and more near the end of her life. she was an old street moggy who had detached retinas and had difficulty seeing some things. she’d play in the water first to make sure it was there, THEN she’d drink.

    Put a plastic tray under the water dish so that you don’t have to worry about the water splash?

    to add: once he’s been seen by your vet (ASAP, please – UTIs can be deadly if a blockage happens!), retrain him to the litterbox. put him in a bathroom with the litterbox (and food and water, of course!), and ensure he’s using it regularly for about a week before you let him back out into the rest of the house.

I Have A Dalmatian Who Has Been Limping On His Front Left Paw For About…

I have a dalmatian who has been limping on his front left paw for about 2 weeks, he still plays and runs, but I noticed he limps and when he’s at a resting point he favors it. How can I know if its just growing pains or something more?

    i gather this is a puppy?  has he been seen by a vet for this yet?

  2. Alexis E

    He is 11 months old and he has not yet seen a vet yet, considering that I was trying to wait and see if it is growing pains.

    i’d get him in. better to be safe than sorry, you know? i don’t think i’d have pushed it more than a few days of consistent limping.

She Has Not Been Able To Jump On The Couch For A Few Days…

She has not been able to jump on the couch for a few days now. She has always slept in bed with me or my younger sisters but now she won’t even get down to pee. (she went in the bed for the 1st time since she was a puppy that was too small to get down.) My dogs are very close to me, and they are my closest friends. I am scared that she is developing arthritis and that I will not be able to afford much help for her if that is the case. I can give her away to someone that can afford frequent visits to the vet even though it would break my heart to pieces.. if I give her away, I would almost have to find a home that would take her daughter too. They could not live apart, it would only make them miserable. I don’t want to give them up at all. The only reason I’d consider it, is because I love her so much that I would rather her live a longer life without me than a shorter life with me. She does not deserve to suffer just because I am too selfish to give her away bc it would hurt me so bad. I love her so much that I would let her (and her daughter) go in order for her to receive the proper care if she is developing arthritis. I am just afraid that she would never be happy without me and my family. I would die inside, but I want her to be okay.

    Thank you, I usually do overreact to anything to do with their health. Her baby is hypoglycemic and the vet I took her to was so uneducated that I knew more than he did about he condition, unfortunately. I know I can pay for one visit at least, but if it is serious im scared it may get too costly. I go crazy when there is something wrong. I’ve never given a thought to giving them away before.
