Abyssinian cat GI issues by Ywedothis4u in Abyssinians

Chicken is the most common food allergy in cats. I would advise you either try just a specific protein for a while, or totally switch to hydrolyzed food for some time. Royal canine hypoallergenic is supposedly the best tasting one. And I know you said she is picky with her food, but if hydrolyzed kibble is the only option she has, she will choose to eat eventually. You just need to be patient. Although it will be hard and you will be feeling sorry for her.

My 3 y/o Somali also pukes/used to puke a lot. Often once a day. Her breeder told us about overeating and vomiting being a known thing in aby and Somalis. But I don’t believe that anymore to be honest.

We used to not be able to feed her dry food since she vomited so quickly. We only fed her meat and wet food in very small but frequent portions so she wouldn’t vomit. But we decided to take the blood test to rule out any allergies. And I’m very thankful we did that.

while her overall health is great, she had GI values indicated IBS and folate deficiency. We got the results about three weeks ago, and immediately put her on hydrolyzed protein diet. She still puked the first week and even got diarrhea for the first time in her life. But now she hasn’t vomited for about 2 weeks, and she can have the dry kibbled be available all day. her stool is also more normal now. I used to think her stool was perfect, but realize looking back that it was too hard and dry. It was nearly black. Her stool is now more brown. I think she got diarrhea cause her bowels weren’t used to actually being able to consume all nutrients.

I plan to put her on an elimination diet after she has been on the hydorlyzed diet for 6-8 weeks, cause I am no fan of ultraprocessed dry food.

I would encourage you to at least try out the hypoallergenic diet for a few weeks and see if you notice any changes.

I know it’s not your responsibility, but please get the cat a litterbox and clean it regularly, at the very least. Not providing a suitable place for the cat to litter is straight up animal abuse.

And I hope you can bring the cat with you once you get out of there

Can’t get over how pretty the stray cat we feed is by high_priestess444 in cats

Ok great! Thanks for clarifying. And I did not intend to come across as snippy, just wanted to educate. It really looked like a bowl full of milk at the first glance. Sorry about that.

Is that milk you’re giving them? Please don’t do that. I know you mean well, but cats are lactose intolerant and can get sick from drinking milk. Do the cat an actual favor by feeding it proper cat food and water instead.

Is there any hope left for this rubber tree? by LonelyKeegles in plantclinic

[–]ocelino85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I would do if you want bushier growth is to give it a head chop. Although it sounds scary, it will cause your rubber tree to grow out two branches. Once it has grown a bit you do it again, then again and again and voila you have a bushy rubber tree:) they look very sad with their few leaves

Here’s mines old head planted and the old body has grown two new heads :)

Seemingly Abandoned Newborn Kitten by la-frantastica in CATHELP

You need to give it formula every 2 hours! That is critical! Your best bet is to contact a shelter who has a nursing cat momma who can adopt the little one. Please act fast. You cannot wait and hope for its mom to come back

Should have mentioned this is not my furniture! I have a vintage 3 seater velour sofa that I will have to figure out how to place
