Great picture Helen. Looks like he enjoyed that!

Sorry Julie, I've only just caught up on this. Poor Barney. I use Miralax for Fluffy when she needs a little help. The dosage I give is one eighth of a teaspoon. It can be increased to a quarter of a teaspoon if needed. It is tasteless and Barney shouldn't notice it. Have a look at this link. Scroll...

Thanks Helen. Will have a read of it.

I use Bezo Pet for Fluffy. I get it from Animed which seems to be the cheapest at around £11.99 for 70g tube. The vet tried to sell it me for £20!

What a lovely old boy!! He must feel so much better now that he's all cleaned up. He was probably so grateful for being helped. No wonder he purred when being dried. I look forward to hearing how he progresses.

Jess is lovely. She looks quite timid even on the photo. Poor little girl. You will work wonders with her. You will be able to transform her into an affectionate and confident girl. Looking forward to seeing a pic of Talouse. The number of girls is increasing! Wonder what the boys think of that!

Helen you definitely made the right decision about Baxter. The look on Basil's face proves it :D As others have said, your gang have to come first. When you think of what Basil has been through, he deserves to feel happy and confident in his own home. The constant stress could have brought on more c...

Mark, I'm glad that Laz seems a bit more lively and with it. I remember a few years ago when I first joined CC, (after Fluffy's diagnosis of CKD), that you said it was more important to treat the cat, not the numbers. I think that Laz is demonstrating this to be very true. His behaviour is what you ...

That's great news Sue. What a relief after such a worrying time. Fusses to Willow and hope she continues to improve.

Hi Mark. Just catching up with this. I'm relieved you got the dosage sorted out. Wonder where your vet got the info from.

Fluffy is about 3.6kg (possibly slightly more now) and my vet said to measure up to the 4kg mark. Hope you see some improvement in Laz.

Kay I've been thinking of you all day. I'm relieved that your lovely Trigger didn't struggle. It's a little less traumatic if it can be peaceful. Sleep well much loved boy Xx

So sorry to hear this Kay. Will be thinking of you and Trigger tomorrow afternoon. Please give him a gentle cuddle from me.

Thinking of you Helen!! Thanks for telling us more about Minnie. What a wonderful character she was! I had to smile at her dashing across the room on her back legs to have a good whack at the boys. She had a very happy life with you. I'm glad she enjoyed her new garden and had a chance to get out an...

Oh Helen. Sending you a big hug. So sorry. I remember that picture of Minnie and also the little video you recently posted of her. She definitely looked a lot younger than her years. You gave her the best life possible.

Sleep well much loved Minnie Xx

Helen I'm so sorry to hear that Minnie has deteriorated so much. Thinking of you Xx

Helen I'm so pleased that Basil seems brighter today. Must have been such a worry for you but at least now he is in the best place and getting the right treatment. Your vet sounds great. Makes all the difference to find a vet you can trust. Hope Basil is happy to see you. Had to smile at Daz. Never ...

Sleep well sweet Shelly.

Sending hugs to you Diana xx

Oh Diana. I am so terribly sorry. This is the kindest thing you can do now for your lovely girl. You know her best. You have been with her on this journey. She knows she is loved and adored. You have done all that you can possibly do for her. We are all with you and will have you and Shelly in our t...

Awww he's lovely. Yes Baxter is a great name. Poor boy has been through so much already. It's very positive that he's had a mini explore so far today and that he responds to your affection.

What a great update

Definitely sounds like Teasel has turned a corner. I'm so pleased for you. She knows she can trust you now that you've held her and let her go. What a sweet little girl she is. Will be interesting to see what the future holds for you both.

Hi Mark I have also been thinking about Laz and wondering how he's doing. It's great news that he's had a good day today. I am now learning this with Fluffy, that when they have several health issues, it really can be a roller coaster of a ride. Fluffy is on Semintra for her kidney disease and the s...

Well done Helen and Daz. I remember how worried you were and what you were going through at the time. As Sarah says, your experience helped many of us on here and taught us a lot about the potential dangers of cystitis. One thing I remember from your posts was your frustration (after all your effort...

Julie I'm so very sorry to hear this. Looks like Molly just couldn't regain her strength. You did all you possibly could. Thinking of you x x

I'm glad you found out why she's been so inconsistent. Who'd have thought it was as simple as that!

Onwards and upwards now for the lovely Teasel

Awww poor man!! Sounds like he's been in a bad way. We'll let him off with the inconsistencies then. No wonder he's been a bit confused. Best to keep your eye on him though all the same

Helen the building work sounds exciting. Will you post some pics when it's finished? Would love to see what the stove looks like. Yes it's best to wait til all that is done and dusted (sorry couldn't resist) :) Teasel is fine for now in her place of safety and enjoying a little bit of sunshine. She'...

Mark I had forgotten that about the testing on rats. Just doesn't make sense to me.

It's good news about Semintra then

I also saw some Gourmet Gold Senior in Jollys recently.

It's so good to hear that Laz has been a bit perkier this afternoon. Wanting to go out is a positive step forward after he's been out of sorts for so long. It can be unsettling when your vet is inconsistent and forgets having already given him a scan! It really is a juggling act when you have a cat ...

That's the understanding I had about the protein issue. I've found that website to be invaluable and I've learnt so much from it. It's a wealth of information. Don't know what I would have done without it. LK advised me to get my vet to check their ingredients etc. I took a tray in with me (he alrea...

Awwww!! He's adorable Thanks Helen.
