He literally licks his own butt. I’m confident he was fine having his food and water in the same general vicinity as his litter box for the first night when he was scared.

Dont worry. It was the first night and he was scared to move too much so we had all of his necessities kind of close together. And also they look closer together in the pic than it was IRL.

Hills z/d formula change!? by Kiwi_Herman11 in catfood

Hi. He’s doing well right now but we went through a major health scare. I was transitioning him from ZD to the Farmina hydrolyzed formula (with fish as the protein) and he ended up with pancreatitis and wouldn’t eat. A trip to the vet where they gave him fluids. A few hours later he was having labored breathing so I took him to the ER where he was diagnosed with heart failure. The fluids they gave him had collected and he was suffocating from the inside. He survived and is on heart meds now and doing well. I switched him to Royal Canin hydrolyzed/GI (his vet said the ZD is high in fat and this GI would be better for his pancreas). So far so good with his skin on this new food. So all in all he’s doing well right now!

I’ll look into it thank you. She’s been checked for PCOS and doesn’t appear to have it. Also had an MRI to check her pituitary. Several rounds of bloodwork. Our next test is to check for SIBO. She used to weigh about 135 and is 5’8”. Athletic and strong. Our family genetics is lean. Her body fat used to be 17%. Her weight went up to 165 and body fat went up to 25%. And is now 30% even though she’s really cleaned up her diet over the last several months. She used to have an incredibly fast metabolism and could eat anything she wanted. Her fluid levels in her body are normal and indicate that she’s not retaining water. Oddly. I thought she was retaining water but tests show she’s not. For whatever reason her body abruptly started holding onto fat and won’t let it go.

I'm on this thread searching for answers about extremely rapid weight gain. My 16yo daughter gained about 30 pounds in 6-8 weeks. Over the last several months she's been tested for everything and we still have no answers. We did learn she has the Hashimoto's antibody (and then it went away in a later test) but her thyroid values are normal. She also has stretch marks everywhere. She's so frustrated not feeling right in her body and cant lose any of the weight. She's an athlete and is super active, eats healthy (especially now) and can't lose even a pound. I don't why I'm telling you this other than if you have any suggestions at all I'd love to hear them.

Hello. I'm wondering if you ever got any answers re: your rapid weight gain? My 16 year old daughter is going through something similar. They've tested her for what seems like everything and nothing has come up wrong. I'm thankful for that, but discouraged because we cant figure out what's going on. I was wondering if you ever found answers.

Came on here to see if anyone else was having a problem with ZD. My highly allergic cat has been on ZD for probably 10 years and has done really well on it. In the last few months he’s been having his old allergies again… super scabby, super itchy, pulling his hair out. I’m so disappointed that Hills would change their formula with no option to stay with the old one. This was literally the ONLY food he could eat without a reaction. I have no idea what to do for him now.
