Re: Safety collars

Hi

I only ever use Kittycollars, I have the first line of our address and my mobile phone number on Barneys collar, think for about £10.00, excellent service from them.........

Re: BUTCHERS CLASSIC TINNED FOOD ? HOW GOOD IS IT PLEASE ?

That is so helpful, thank you so much Crewella, especially as Barney is just recovering from a bout of cystitis... I have always mixed in plenty of warm water with Barneys food, even though I feed him wet food, he laps up the water happily when mixed with the food and the link you provided gives a f...

Re: cat colds- harpies

Thanks Jill... I always remember my mom and dads old cat, Sadie, she got a terrible cold, after getting herself lost in a really bad spell of winter weather many years ago, when I was young. Dad took her to the vets and the vet immediately said it would be best to put her to sleep. Dad wanted to tak...

Re: BUTCHERS CLASSIC TINNED FOOD ? HOW GOOD IS IT PLEASE ?

Hi Julie,

I am not too sure, but if I give my fella any form of fish at all, he has dreadful sickness and vomits his entire stomach contents within minutes of eating it....strangely enough, he is just recovering from a bout of cystitis ! :cry:

I stick to chicken now !

Re: Milla might have developed some sort of cystitis

Goodness Joe, you are up against it there, I don't envy you ! It appears that dry food can be a culprit at times, when it comes to cystitis and wet foor and more liquid intake should be encouraged. I mix Barneys wet food with warm water, so its almost soup like, but he loves it. Take a look at the i...

This sort of problem can develop into something more serious unless diagnosed correctly. My fella had blood in his wat...

Re: VIBES FOR BARNEY PLEASE - RETURN VET TRIP TONIGHT !

He certainly doesn't look his age, lucky fella :D Since his bladder problem, he does appear to be a little less 'manic' in that he hasn't had his usual mad dash around the house at all, but that may be because he is out and about more often and I am overthinking it . I must try to get a picture of t...

Well, it's the return trip this evening, to decide whether Barney needs the bladder scan or not...he seems to be passing water very well now and the last 24 hours have seen a good improvement.. However, the decision will be in the hands of the vet, so I am feeling extremely anxious at the moment...i...
