The topic: Cat food

----------------------------------------------

We’ve been feeding Felidae for a while now.  Last month, when I opened a can from a new case of the pink label food, I noticed chunks of carrots.  Hmmm.  They used to really like this flavor, more than the yellow label food.  Not anymore.  They scarfed down the yellow label and ate the pink label, but there was a substantial amount left over the next morning.  Felidae had obviously changed the formula.

Last month we started KittyMeeze on Wellness.  At first we got the little cans, three ounces?.  That wasn’t enough, so I got the next size up, six ounces or thereabouts.  It was nice because there were eight different flavors of the Wellness.  And the label stated “no grain”, which is a good thing.  Cats are carnivores, not grainivores. 

And the inside cats went nuts when we opened a can of the Wellness for KittyMeeze.  So, I decided to start feeding the Wellness to the inside cats.  When I went shopping Monday, I got a case of Felidae (yellow label), told the store owner that we’d get one more case of Felidae, because it will be free.  And that we were switching to the Wellness.  He warned me that Wellness has no free offers, but I don’t care, if it’s better for the cats, I’m all for it.  At this point, we’ll still be feeding the Felidae dry, but that might change in the future.

I really like the variety and I’m sure the cats will too.

The topic: l-Lysine

----------------------------------------------
Remember my wondering about powdered l-Lysine, which would make it easier for me to give to the cats? Well, I did a search and came across some made just for pets! VET Solutions Viralys (L-Lysine) Powder, 600 grams And they like it! I add it to their food at night!

We found nothing on our walk this morning

The topic: Lisa’s recheck

----------------------------------------------

It was on Monday and I’m just now posting about it.

The vet was pleased with how well she’s doing. He had me look in her mouth, while he held it open.  She did lose a lot of teeth!  And where the teeth used to be, it was bright red.  He said this was good, the redness was localized, not streaming down into her throat like when she was first taken in. He feels that she’ll do well with a course of prednisone and he believes that will resolve the problem once and for all.  In some cats, it never goes away, but he thinks Lisa can beat this.

She’d gained 14 ounces since the surgery, that’s almost a pound in ten days!  She’s sure feeling better.

I take her back in on the 17th for another recheck, to see if the prednisone is holding off the immune system (which is what stomatitis is, an immune system gone out of control).
