Thanks Carol.  I also signed up for their alerts.

Welcome to Ichmo, Mongo.  I'm sorry it is under these circumstances.  I pray that the recipes and suggestions will be able to help get your kitty, Melody to eat again.  I pray your kitty will get better soon.

Poco, Angel has arthritis in her front elbow and  rear hip (same side of her body-poor thing).  She's been on glucosamine for quite some time, the ProMotion is supposed to have a combination of antioxidants and glucosamine which is "supposed" to be better than her previous supplement.  She's been resting on her heated bed all weekend and I've been keeping her as quiet as possible.  Overall, she's an active dog, likes to run around guarding the birdfeeders from the mean ole squirrels and loves going for walks.  Right now, I've had to stop her walks and watch her when she goes outside to do her business so she's not running around like a fool.

Hopefully, I can get the right combination to get her pain back under control.  We had it well managed until about a month ago, I really hate seeing her struggling getting up and hobbling around. 

Thank you for looking into that 5CatMom, I too will now be avoiding their product.

Thanks for this link, Poco, I will have to get some for my girl, Angel.  This year her arthritis is really acting up and I have worries about her previously prescribed pain meds   My vet just prescribed her Previcox (I've never used this drug before and will be researching it), today.  Also, he has me starting her on 3VCaps which is a concentrated source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids with Vitamin E and a product called ProMotion by Virbac. 

I hope this helps her, she's been hobbling around here all weekend and my vet's office was closed extra days because of the holiday and I had to wait until today to get her some new meds.  Her usual baby aspirin wasn't working and I don't like to give her it too often for fear of problems it can cause.

Catbird, you make a very interesting point.  I wonder if it could even be related to bone loss that can cause the teeth to loosen and fall out even. 

I have to agree with you Sandi, they do look like they are anticipating a black furball to come flying out from somewhere

You have a beautiful family and extended family, Catmom!

As if we don't have enough to keep us up at nights  

OMG, Catbird, that is terrifying.  It doesn't seem like there is anything out there that is safe anymore.  You read something is organic, then you find out it has the words ARSENIC behind it.  I don't care organic/inorganic, if ARSENIC is anywhere in the same sentence, IT CAN'T BE GOOD!  What are these people thinking??? 

Oh Offy, I truly know how you feel and am so thankful that you furkids are safe and unharmed.  Like the others have said,  you should consider putting a fraud alert out on your accounts.  It may be overkill, but something that shouldn't be taken lightly considering all the identity theft, credit card abuse, etc. going on. 

I've hardly slept since Thursday and know how that can take a toll. I hope you can things taken care of so that you can get some peace of mind and rest.

Welcome to Itchmo jg2008.

Thanks for sharing this update, Carol!  Way to go Harry and Arnold and all the other wonderful angel pets that are bringing in donations to fight such an awful disease, you will never be forgotten

Oh Spartycats, you are such an angel to take Teddy and keep him with his brothers.  I've been agonizing over this ever since I read about it.  Such wonderful, wonderful news!!!!

Oh Catmom, I'm so relieved for you.  Now you can take care of your seniors and have the peace of mind knowing that you saved six lives and they have wonderful homes.

Bless you all!

Oh Sandi,

I could just imagine how far birdseed can roll without a cat helping play in it.  Oh I bet that was a job to clean up!  Maybe you should have just rolled the dough across the floor to roll in the birdseed and pick it up at the same time   Oh, DH is lucky he was out fishing during Sophers latest escapades

Oh No Trudy, you don't deserve this stress.  I pray Houdini is found soon.

Sorry to hear this news, my heart goes out to you.  {{{{{hugs}}}}}}
