We have an 8 yr cat with a urinary infection and is on Clavimox and Prescription Diet CD food—he does not like the food and he doesn't eat, any suggestions. Does can food have any connection to the urinary bacterial infection and if not by can't he have a small amount of can food once a day? I can't just sit by and watch him starve. If the can food has no connection why is it taken away. Essentially — Does he have infection or blockage? Keep him on his prescription diet, trust me, he won't starve. Also it may be a good idea to give him distilled water. Minerals from tap water can also build up in the urinary tract and cause blockage problems. You might ask your vet if there's any kind of canned food he might recommend as well. Some types of cat food are much worse than others. So yes it can be caused by food. Dry is commonly worse than canned.

MY family cat is 22 will be 23 in march. Well she's an inside cat she use to be chubby but now she's skin and bones. She throws up a lot depending on the cat food. Just recently she's been having her tongue out and doesn't put it back in her mouth for a while or you touch it. could something be wrong with her health? Any ideas what might be wrong? Could she have had a stroke? She's been more annoying now like always wants to be on you or someone(that's why I think she's getting close to dying) cause people say they want more of ur attention and get close to you more when somethings wrong or going wrong. my mom fed her tuna and she liked that and actually kept that down. I told my mom to start buying can food that helps the digestive system. She hasn't thrown up lately. i'm trying to convince my mom to take her to the vet. She's such a big part of our family I don't know what will happen when she's gone. My mom has never taken that cat to the vet cause she's always been healthy with nothing wrong but I told my mom somethings gotta be wrong now so its time to do it. one time like 6 months ago she was laying and it did not look like she was breathing I thought she was dead and I moved her touched her stomach and nothing so I was crying and told my mom and then my mom went back there n touched her n she woke up so that cats gonna give me a heart attack. She's mainly deaf and partially blind from what we can tell or maybe she just has selective hearing. Today I found out that… Congratulations on taking such excellent care of your cat for 22 years. She wouldn't have lived this long if she wasn't loved and well cared for. But realize that in human years your cat is about 98 years old and now especially she depends on you to help her out here. If she is "skin and bones" chances are she is very weak, maybe too weak and ill to hold her tongue in her mouth anymore. She is also probably very dehydrated("throws up a lot&quot. Is her tongue dry? It's hard to say if she had a stroke, possibly. But the more immediate concern is dehydration. Without adequate water in her body she can't fight off any illness that she may have or get better. Cats rarely live past 20 years old. She really needs a good vet check. There is something definitely wrong with her health. When my older cats started acting differently I said, "Well, she's just getting older. " I didn't think to take her to the vet. That was a big mistake. Cats hide pain very well, usually until it's almost too late. Needless to say I finally took her and she had multiple problems and I lost her within a few days. I will never make that mistake again. First I would check her vital signs: (pay particular attention to respiration, color and hydration) Here's some other things to look for in an older cat: Other things to observe: If she drinking a lot of water, is she peeing a lot? Does she have diarrhea, has she stopped grooming herself, does she seem ravenous when she eats. These things could point to a possible thyroid problem. She could also have kidney disease which is widely seen in old cats: Hope this helps. Note: She needs to be eating a senior food, wet and dry that is nutritious and easy for her to digest.

Cats don't seem to be as healthy as I remember them to be when I was a child, many moons ago.

Now they seem to be prone to any and every disease under the sun, with exotic breeds succumbing the most.

Whether your cat health questions are infertility, upper respiratory issues, "inevitable" aging diseases, renal problems, fleas, dead babies, or anything else it all comes down to the fact that domestic cats don't have the healthy immune systems they once did.

You think you're doing all the right things by taking her to the vet regularly and doing as they suggest, whether it is vaccinating or feeding the cat food they supply.

But still your cat's health is failing.

Why is this so?

I think there are several reasons for this, but there is one outstanding reason which you can address without much knowledge.

And that's diet.

Food is consumed daily. Which makes it the number one area of importance.

If you are feeding your cat a commercial brand of cat food, her health will be deteriorating.

Why?

Cats evolved over many tens of thousands of years on a diet of fresh kills, which means fresh, raw meat. Their domesticity is comparatively recent, and commercial pet food only came into being about the middle of the 20th century.

So, think of your most pressing cat health questions and then look at the food you are feeding her? Is the food in accordance with how wild cats eat? If not, then maybe you need to think about a change.

I never expect people to believe me any more than I expect them to believe anyone. But I always try to put forward logical and reasonable arguments to support my way of thinking.

In the 1930′s Dr. Pottenger carried out some experhyments on cats. He discovered that the offspring of cats who were only fed cooked food were born with immune deficiencies.

He also discovered that within three generations, the immune system would be virtually useless unless some raw food had been eaten.

I suggest to you that no matter what your cat health questions are, the answer is always the same.

Raw meat and bones, just as wild cats eat.

Wild cats are very healthy (they have to be to survive), have few fleas and worms and don't suffer the chronic, degenerative diseases that so afflict our domestic cats.

However, there is an enormous industry at the heart of cat health. Veterinarians and drug companies make enormous sums of money treating ailing cats. Many would go out of business if you decided to answer your own cat health questions by solid research.

But I'm encouraging you to do just that.
