My apologies for not updating everyone sooner regarding Kaylanee. I’ve had a lot going on with work, the cats I’m fostering, my car and trying to find a back up sitter for my other two cats as I’m leaving August 21 for NH for 9 days. So Kaylanee’s vet appointment went reasonably well. She saw one of the newer recently graduated vet school vets, so I was glad about that because sometimes they are more open minded and aware of the latest options, not that all the vets at my vet aren’t but while I like her regular vet a lot Dr. Stack is a little old school sometimes.

She gobbles down the Purina pro plan hairball wet and seems content to eat the Purina sensitive skin and stomach dry. I went with the later vs., royal Canon ID digestive care, which she has eaten too because insurance won’t cover it because they’ll say it’s pre-existing, related to her IBS and I’m still working to pay down my care credit card from
Vet bills it’s looking better but there is still a way to go. It is was rather comical the first day I gave her all the meds. It was obvious the prednisone pre existing side effect of increased hunger, was affecti […] View
