Name: Pittypat   Age: 2

My new cat from hell To get the cats "together" I have kept Pittypat in another room, that after a few weeks has 3 child guard safety gates mounted on top of each other to allow her a view of things going on, yet keeping Frankly safe. We alternate who has roaming privileges, each has their own toys. I have continue to feed the cats their evening wet food within sight of each other (although Pittypat eats so fast I had to add dry food in it to slow her down); I use hormone diffusers in the house, add herbal drops ...

Name: Piglet   Age: 10

Shedding and Urinary Problems Darcy at the Olympia Mud Bay store was very knowledgable and helpful! She was well educated on all the different food types and brands offered at Mud Bay and how each could be helpful for certain issues. She directed me to AvoDerm Indoor Hairball Formula. AvoDerm's formula was safe on her Ph levels and dramatically improved her shedding problems. Darcy also informed me that cats that don't usually drink water out of bowl, should get some hydration through their food, and the canned formula is a... Read More

Name: Gizmo   Age: 2

Journey to Urinary Health... Gizmo was first switched to Wysong's Uretic diet with Beef Stew canned food added in. This did wonders for her. The diet helped treat her current conditions. She had previously been on a horrendously expensive vet prescribed diet that had little to no effect on her situation. Once her current infection was cleaned up I focused on her wet food and supplimented it with Wysong's Biotic PH- formula. I also used a glucose formula for a month to help give her the extra nutrients needed to repair her ... Read More

Name: Leo   Age: 11+

Allergic to Fleas My vet and I tried all kinds of steroids, etc. to help his fur return to no use. Revolution did not work on Leo. I switched to Advantage Multi and decided to put 99% Aloe Vera gel on his almost furless body. Everytime Leo walked by me I was putting more Aloe Vera on him. He growled and hissed at me, but since I drink Aloe Vera Juice everday for the last nine years since I was diagnosed with Chrons and it has saved my life, I knew that this would help his skin heal, plus keep any fleas off and w...

Name: Hans   Age: 10

Happy Ending Staff helped us understand the types of litter and box styles available, and while Hans persisted in marking and urinating indoors, we did find a litter that our other cats really like and we like because of the great odor control and controlled tracking (Cat Country). Since we noticed that Hans liked to claw his Phoenix upright wooden post almost every time he passed, we purchased another to place in front of the area he tended to mark thinking we could deflect his urine making behavior awa...

Name: C. Cooper   Age: 22

Cat Acne My cats health was as important to me as was mine. One day he came home all torn up. Something had slashed him all over. He had been gone for three days, and I was worried sick about him. I scooped him up and took him to the nearest vet and thank goodness he was saved. Needless to say he became an indoor only kitty on his return from a week in the hospital. So grateful for being able to share my life with C. Cooper. C. is for Cat of course. Read More

Name: Del   Age: 8

Cat Acne The veterinarian told us that the acne would most likely clear up with time, but after reading up a bit more we realized that there were a few things that we could change to help this dermatological dilemma. As it turns out, the oils and fats from kibble and wet food tend to cling to the surfaces of plastic dishes and bowls. Del was rubbing his chin in all of that, which is why he was suffering from "cat acne". After switching to ceramic food dishes, the problem cleared up right away. Read More

Name: Paka   Age: 6.5

Paka bounces back from jaundice When Paka, a 6 ½ year old Tabby, started turning down tuna fish, treats, and his nightly “kitty massages” Todd, his human, suspected that he wasn’t feeling well. Paka’s playful personality had disappeared, his eating and litter box habits were off routine, and he was sleeping quite a bit more than usual. Worried that these changes in habits were a sign of ill health, Todd decided to take Paka to the veterinarian. Upon examination, Paka was diagnosed with jaundice, a yellowish pigmentation o...
