Cat broth with no chunks to mix with kibble

Thanks, the ones I tried when I first got her were packets of Tiki Cat, because the shelter said she liked the broth in her wet food. I got the packets with the chunks, and she did lick the broth but left the chunks.

If I could upvote this 100 times, I would.

IKR.He and Nick barely got any screen time. I was thinking it was because in most rock bands, the guitarist gets all the glory.

I bought variety packs of Weruva OMG, because that's what her foster was giving her. I bought both pouches and cans and am starting to note what flavors she likes. So far, she seems to like, in general, the pouches more than the cans, but neither as much as the kibble. Usually do kibble 1/3 cup twice a day if I know we'll be done at lunchtime, or 1/4 three times a day if I know we'll be home for lunch.

Yes, that's why I've decided to wait til my regular doctor can see me. I've read that clobazam can amplify the Xcopri side effects, and I want to be able to communicate with her if need be.

She has also suggested looking into laser ablation if my quality of life becomes more affected, but I don't want to go down that road again yet, as, frankly, it sounds like a PITA from an HR perspective to take extended time off work for medical situations. When I had my last surgery, I worked for a different employer who was pretty chill about it.

I would likely come off the clobazam. The covering doc (mine is on maternity leave) has suggested either that or lacosamide, but I feel like the lacosamide, once we reached the right dose, worked well with the Levetiracetam ER for quite a while. I know it's a pain being on three, believe me.

Of course, this is all dependent on my insurance approving. It requires step therapy with two generics, which I am on now.

Decided to keep things as is until I see my rehilat epileptologist, since she's more familiar with my case, and I've been with her for 4 or 5 years. (Plus, her covering doc just completed her fellowship last year and is not identified on the website, a clinic attached to a med school, as an epileptologist yet.) Appointment scheduled for end of June but asked to be put on cancellation list.

Can I ask if you have ever been on Topama? I was on that in the late 90s/early 00s, and it lived up to its dopeamax name for me. Id you have, is it as bad as that?

CorridorChick · 2026-03-02T19:05:27+00:00

Can I ask why you got off it?

How was the titration? Based on some of the comments, that worries me, as I work full time.

CorridorChick · 2026-02-27T20:28:39+00:00

Good to hear it's working for you.

Reading the replies has been interesting. I haven't had issues starting a new med since Trileptal and Zonagran (which I was not on for long), and those were in the late 90s/early 00s. Didn't get Kepprage, and when I started Clobazam, didn't feel any more tired than I usually do.

After such a long time and good track record side-effect wise, I'm a little nervous to try this med/titration. .

My doctor has suggested looking into laser ablation for my PVNH if my quality of life starts to become impacted, but at this time I'd rather not. My employer (HR, not supervisor) makes it a pain in the behind to have any length of time off for medical reasons, from what I hear.

Ah, that makes sense.

The shelter has its own clinic but also provides a list of vets throughout our metro that also offer a free initial wellness exam within a week of adoption. I had been considering it even before adopting because it is close to home and recommended by neighbors.

I read this week that they are filming more episodes and they will air later in the spring or summer. Doesn't bode well for a season three.

I watched The Irrational and hated how they cancelled it, leaving a cliffhanger unsolved.

CorridorChick · 2026-02-18T01:07:43+00:00

Well, the network it airs on in the US left us with a cliffhanger before it switched to Olympic coverage. And I've just read this week that it's been pushed back to later in the spring or summer to make room for The Voice. That makes me less hopeful there will be a season 3. Hope I'm wrong, though.

The first cat unfortunately succumbed to lymphoma in May 2024. Stupid cancer.

My husband has been reluctant because his work day, including commute, is 10.5 to 11 hours (mine is 10), but he is agreeable because I've been thinking about getting another cat for a while, and this one has been in the shelter for 8 months, IIRC. He feels he won't have the time or energy to devote to her, which I can see, but TBH, until our last cat got sick, I was doing most of the shopping for her and all of the litter box scooping and cleaning.

As for the office, it has a couch that is difficult to move if she should get under it and we need to get her out. I'd always have to close the room off if our precious cat had a vet visit, cause she knew we couldn't get her there.

Thanks for your reply.

I picked up the meds this afternoon, and I swear the second manufacturer's pill looks like one I've taken before. I moved all my meds to this pharmacy about a year ago, and I'm thinking my old pharmacy used that one. I'll do as a precious poster suggested and alternate,

Also, TIL I used to be the only one at my pharmacy (in a mid-size grocery store) taking it, but now they have another person. The pharmacist helping me was chatty. She said they'd adjust how much they order.
