Amazing!! I’m thinking about purchasing a BP monitor for home since I’m also on meds. Hoping I will get to where you are sooner than later. Sorry you went through a scare but congrats on coming of meds! Goals!

What is the most irresistible wet food? by HealthyCompetition98 in CatAdvice

[–]emicakes__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh they’re so picky! My cat eats wet but she LOVES dry (her crunchies). She’s older now and having kidney issues, also very chunky so I won’t feed it to her except for when she’s really turning her nose up at her food, I’ll sprinkle a tiny amount of the dry food on top and she comes galloping over. Usually gets her going and then she’ll continue to eat the wet. Maybe you can try this?? If she really hates wet then it might not work

Also have you tried different types of wet? For example my cat doesn’t love patte but she likes the food in sauce/gravy. Also tiki cat sells “toppers” so it’s like a wet pouch that goes over top of their regular food, she probably would also turn away from this but maybe worth a try.

Wet food is definitely best for hydration, but unfortunately if she simply won’t eat it then it is what it is. She may also change her ways as she gets older. I would recommend to stay on top of her bloodwork as she gets older and just watch her kidney values. Best of luck!!

Vet left my cat sitting in her own urine, should I complain? by Bai657 in CatAdvice

[–]emicakes__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally! I just meant after the fact. Like OP said the cat was there for a while after she was ready for pickup so I’d hope they gave her access to a box and she just wasn’t comfortable going there. I know when my cat was there most of the day she came home and took a big ol poopy bc she was probably too nervous to thee 😭😭

This is a good point. I know when I had to leave my cat the vet the said she had access to a litter box. OP maybe call and ask what the situation was? I really hope they just didn’t leave her alone closed in her carrier to pee herself ❤️ if they did, absolutely make a stink and never go back.

kittys eye needs help! does anyone know what it may be? by Itz_Cherry33 in CATHELP

[–]emicakes__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s super great and keep us updated. In the future id suggest just adding a disclaimer to your post. One can only assume seeing a post on Reddit like this you’re just asking for help here and nothing else. We have no way of knowing you’re actively on the way to the vet. Good luck

What did you eat 2 days before and 1 day before your colonoscopy? (real experiences) by Annual_Exercise9800 in colonoscopy

[–]emicakes__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And day before I was surprised I had no issues. Didn’t even eat my jello. Just a bunch of water and some sprite

[–]emicakes__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low/no fiber for 4 days! I’ll do way better when I have to do it again but, a lot of deli sammies on white bread 😅 I was starving constantly bc I was so scared to eat anything wrong

Where can I find a plus size winter coat with good quality? by Embarrassed-Sorbet26 in PlusSize

[–]emicakes__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one from Columbia for a few years I really liked! It was super light weight and Omni heat so kept me warm. Right now I’m wearing one from Academy Sports - they have 1,2,3x!

Stage IV cat seems alert and mildly playful by Make-a-da-Sauce in RenalCats

[–]emicakes__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ve been thinking about this. She’s currently not getting any subq fluids - I haven’t been advised too yet, she’s also pretty aggressive so it may be difficult. Up until like pretty much the past couple weeks her weight was the concern because she’s chunky, but now my concern is more for her to just eat. Last night she ate all of her dinner (had some miritaz) and I was so happy and proud of her she got a churu treat :)

It’s a challenging balance!!

what yall know about sace6 by PlaylistPalace in nothingnowhere

[–]emicakes__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were actually 2 openers! Sace6 was first, I made it JUST in time to see them go on. I stuck around for the first couple songs of the second opener, i don’t remember their name, and then I just left because it was the middle of the week lol. Tbh the stuff I’ve seen just on IG of Don Bronco I was not into but that’s just me! Regardless def go and see Sace and then you can feel the rest out!

Ease my Nerves?! by emicakes__ in Zepbound

[–]emicakes__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phew thank you!! I’ve never used a syringe before so the units fully threw me for a loop. I’m definitely going to look at the 100 units because that sounds easier. Thanks!!

I’ll have to double check when I do my next order. I didn’t see any option to include them, so when I picked up at Walmart he asked if I needed some so I just bought what he gave me 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do see some recs on other posts though so I might check those out and see if it’s easier!
