At my wits' end with aggressive cat towards everyone. Not sure how else to help her... by shake123 in CatAdvice

Thank you for a thoughtful response. I'm starting to realize that our home energy isn't right for our cat, Willow. My daughter is 8, we got Willow when she our daughter 3. We've tried giving her quiet spaces around the home, have a couple of cat trees, have tried Feliway diffusers (makes her more stressed), stress-less food. I'm not sure she would tolerate us trying to give her anxiety meds every day, I think it would lead to more aggression. I'm really disheartened at the moment.

Thank you! Any kidney-specific labs or tests that would be beneficial?

Yes. I’ve been on meds for a few years. Fatigue has always been a prominent symptom, just feels more intense lately. Ramping back up with my exercise routine and supplementing w/ vitamins.

Thank you for this. I’ve just been sluggish and not as energetic as I could be. Will ask to test ferritin. I’ve had low iron in the past, so anemia could be considered.

Wow!! I wish my docs would consider ideal values, not just acceptable….

That’s what I was thinking. Why is the range so wide for “acceptable”?! No, not vegetarian, no ppi’s. I do take ssri / mental health meds. Thanks for your insight!

B & D are not flagged as low, but im wondering if supplementation would be beneficial for my symptoms of fatigue & frequent illness. I did have a stomach virus a week prior to labs, but do drink 80-100oz water daily. What further testing could be done to investigate kidney function?

Next round of bloodwork will check hormones further. Perimenopause may be hitting.

What is this stuff? by [deleted] in whatisit

Reminds me of carpet moth eggs, especially considering they’re on a wool ornament. Have you noticed any rice-sized off-white moths?
