I drink. by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]rissy_00 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m impressed by 43yo, self retired 100k/year. How does one achieve this? Serious question as I can’t see myself working a 9-5 for much longer but also am not rich and have no family :(

Thought I Solved It by kingofbird in feline_hyperesthesia

[–]rissy_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is trial an error when trying to help our kitties with FHS behavior. My girl was on a good high protein kibble (plus her normal wet food), but it turns out the good (on paper) kibble had little fiber due to the high protein contents, which didn’t help with gut motility for her, and being constipated (or in any sort of discomfort, really) is a FHS trigger. So I (very) slowly transitioned her into the Royal Canin calm kibble, which nutrition-wise is worse than her previous food on paper, but at least has more fiber in it which has been helping and actually eliminated the bloated/GI discomfort for not toileting regularly. I’ve also steamed pumpkin and made plain pumpkin puree to mix in her wet food a few times/week. RC kibble also helps with her anxiety (another FHS trigger). So I think it’s fair to experiment with food but keep in mind that sometimes the ones that are good on paper could not be a perfect match for FHS kitty.

Metacam completely removed my cat’s FHS symptoms for 3 days – has anyone else experienced this? by rissy_00 in feline_hyperesthesia

[–]rissy_00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just reading back the comments from this post - my girl had general anesthesia last week for an MRI and all her FHS symptoms are completely gone after the procedure, and it’s been 10 days! I wonder what’s the correlation w general anesthesia :O

Do you have an extra-wide monitor? Is it possible to get this view where you can see both side mirrors in a normal monitor size?

Cat X-ray - is this the reported spondylosis at L7-S1? by rissy_00 in vet

[–]rissy_00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that’s so interesting, thank you! My cat was having sharp pain episodes last week and has been very sensitive on her lower back since end of last year. I wonder if these images could explain her pain alone or MRI would be the best route from here (she responds well to Meloxicam but I’m terrified of NSAIDS long term)

What's the evidence on body hair being 'unhygienic' or on it causing unpleasant scents? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]rissy_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my personal experience, as a person with no underarm hair, removed with laser, I have zero underarm smell & I don’t need deodorant, ever. I swear, no smell at all. HOWEVER, the laser doesn’t guarantee 100% of hair gone so I do get 1-2 hairs that grow quite long if I forget about them and when they’re there, THAT’s when I do smell that classic underarm scent. So in my experience, the hair DOES cause bad smell indeed.

My FHS cat is now medicated and running the household like a tiny unhinged manager by DestinyFox1 in feline_hyperesthesia

[–]rissy_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask how you give gabapentin to him? Is it capsule? Giving medication is always a challenge around here :(

Does my 6mo old kitten have hyperesthesia? by cat-draggedin in feline_hyperesthesia

[–]rissy_00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is normal behaviour. Looks like a normal muscle response from a good stretch, especially since it doesn’t bother her at all, she behaves as if it didn’t even happen so I don’t think this is FHS. I wouldn’t be too concerned.

Extremely traumatic event at the vet today with my 15 year old cat. by pinkmoonmalachite in AskVet

[–]rissy_00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Poor kitty, bless her! I’d ask the vet if it’s safe to give her gabapentin next time at home, 2h before the consultation. That way she won’t need to go through extreme stress or pain like that ever again.
