Hi, My story was about a cat, but you may find some of it useful. http://handicappedpet.net/helppets/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19731#p101764 My BFF was 10 years old when she dislocated her back, but I could not give her up. I am happily divorced so she slept with me, too. Even though it meant I had to...

If the poor dog has inflammatory problems, I recommend a food sensitivity test ($300), a nutriscan http://www.hemopet.org/hemolife-diagnostics/nutriscan-food-sensitivity-intolerance.html I recently adopted a cat with IBSD that was terrible. She also had a tearing eye and some thin fur spots in front...

On November 7, 2017 a veterinarian with a service called Laps of Love, came to our home and assisted with the passage of my beloved Cali Catrina, from this world to the next. Over the last few years, I have found help and support through this forum and have posted some of her story. And I would like...

My suggestion is some Chiropractic evaluation and maybe treatment (get x-ray from your vet) and use of Acupressure (see book Acu-Cat A Guide to feline Acupressure). I just lost my girl to intestinal cancer 4 years after a spinal injury that caused incontinence and constipation. I was giving her 0.5 ...

Hi, One low budget suggestion is for you to learn to do acupressure or your cat. There are u-tubes on line an one particularly good book I found Acu-Cat: A Guide to Feline Acupressure, get it cheap at Amazon.com. Also, my girl got significant help from a chiropractor. She had dislocated her back, in...

My beloved cat Cali dislocated he back and was left fecal and bladder incontinent three and a half years ago. Soon after she developed inflammatory cystitis from the brewers yeast in the supplement I gave her to help her poop. Then she developed chronic constipation. I have most recently found that ...

Another update on Calicat. To give a little background, in July 2013, Calicat dislocated her back in a fall and became bladder and fecal incontinent. Then she developed progressively more severe inflammatory cystitis. I was giving her GNC Hairball treats to help her with her BM, but they contained b...

Just to update on Calicat- She has had a great summer in terms of cystitis but developed constipation. In May, she went tail down on me and I suspect she re-injured her spine. Back to the chiropractor we went, who said she was quite out of line again. That made both her bladder and fecal incontinenc...

Just an update on another discovery. Calicat got constipated after taking her off the GNC Hairball Remedy treats and her Friskeys. So there was another trip to the vet for an enema. Poor girl! When she dislocated her back she had nerve damage that caused her both fecal and bladder incontinence. Both...

I'm not sure how much more water would help. She seems to have plenty of wee and I get her to drink more of it when she does not eat so well. But I am disgusted with the lack of research on this, both in humans (women) and in cats. I guess they make more money treating it than curing it. Here are so...

My girl has relapsed and been passing bloody clots off and on for 11 days now. The amitriptyline seem to help her with her pain, but it it really reduces inflammation, I do not know. My cat always fit the profile of a FIC cat (inside, litter box, overweight, noise sensitive, shy, dried food). As she...

I am going to discontinue this subject on this post as it started about something else. I have another thread about UTI and I am going to just continue it there

There is more to the story. Cali cat had another episode. This one was mild so I hope I am on the right track. Her odor is definitely gone and she has been an active, happy cat up to about a week ago. Then her incontinence got a little worse, she was not so active and there was blood in her urine. T...

michelleGDLCF, To answer your question: Cali was an orphaned, orphaned cat and I was low on funds so most of her life I gave her Friskeys Dried food. When I was doing a little better I fed her some of the canned stuff but she loved that dry food. She got a little fat and developed arthritics before ...
