Shadow Posted by: HelenMac - 07-13-2020, 07:41 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Health - Replies (5) Took Shadow to see Gabe the vet today got a clean bill of health. Said fur looks good weight good heart good. Agrees with me the diareah was probably the treats. Said its 2 years since last had it so not worried at all. Reckons Vomiting is gorging so make sure to leave the sensitivity biscuits out at all times so can nibble when hungry. His weight is up which is great. All in all he’s totally happy with Shadow says he’s fine.   Cat food recall Posted by: admin - 07-08-2020, 10:17 AM - Forum: Ragdoll Health - Replies (2) https://www.iheart.com/content/2020-07-0...e-effects/   Shadow bird watching Posted by: HelenMac - 07-07-2020, 11:31 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Cat Gallery - Replies (5) So near yet so far   One of the Wild Bunch...Update Posted by: Smudge's Mom - 07-05-2020, 06:43 PM - Forum: Other Pet Gallery - Replies (9) This is Spirit.  She is the shyest of them, but the most photogenic. She is getting a bit less skittish each day, but still won't let me touch her.  She was two years old in April.   Shadow Posted by: HelenMac - 06-30-2020, 07:13 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Health - Replies (10) Got woken up by the most horrible stench at 2am yesterday went in the bathroom to find orange pooh all over floor in front of litter robot poor Shadow didn't make it. He had then pulled the hand towel down of the rail to cover it up.    I cleaned it up hour later he had gone in entance way. From then on Hourly but made it to litterrobot but was very uncomfortable I stayed up with him. Rang vet asked if could drop him in to be checked out as was going into hospital for surgery at 9.00 So dropped him off signed to give permission for him to have bloods and a thorough check over and to give treatment..  If over $500 were to ring my mum and discuss with her.   Hubby picked me up at 5.00pm just as they rang to say Shadow could be picked up.   Went in to get him and was not impressed. Nothing been done no blood test or anything was seen by a locum who said he was stressed hiding at back of cage back to the world hissing and growling. Umm yes probably in pain, and in a strange place dogs barking cats crying of course he's stressed. Gee are you a vet or a mouse. They even took hubby down to get him to put in carrier to come home as reckoned they couldn't do it..Hubby got to cage called Shadow he cried and immediatly came to the front of cage so  picked him up gave him a cuddle and put in carrier to come home. Growled all way home. Was given a bag of Royal Cannin ALLERGENIC dry to feed solely for next 6 weeks and a speck sheet to read.. I rang this morning to talk to Gabe which turns out is on leave until the 14th hence the locum.    Shadow hasn't lost any weight in fact has gained weight since we put him on the Royal Canin sensitive biscuits and wet food couple months ago.     I  think the biscuits make him feel very nauseas as he eats a couple then constantly licks his lips starts saliviring and walks off. Hasn't eaten properly in over 32 hours and feeling very sorry for himself keeps crying poor baby so have given him some of his sensitive food which he ate normal and he's finally settled down and lying in the sun next to me. I have made an appointment with Gabe on the 14th.   Six years ago...

What a joy he was from the very first moment I saw him and what a beautiful boy inside and out. I took this photo of him when he came out of the cat carrier after a long 8 hour trip (two flights and long waiting time for the connection flight), he started purring and playing immediately. Two days later, keeping me company on the blanket on my chair. The cutest kitten ever!  DSC_6471_Jun14_Fosco by Colleen Rost, on Flickr He was thrilled a month later when his sister came to home to us too. x That face!!!

Anyway, here she is:   Wonder Boy!! Posted by: Ragstimes1 - 05-30-2020, 08:05 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Health - Replies (11) Jamie had a shot of depo about 3-4 weeks ago and apparently it triggered his sugar up and the vet put him on insulin.  He went in last week and his glucose was 95, which is normal.  They took him down to 1/2 unit 2x a day.  Teeny dose.  Went in yesterday and his glucose was 75, which is borderline low.  Took him off of insulin.  We go back in 2 weeks to get it tested again.  He's gone from 7.6 pounds up to 9 pounds in 2 weeks so the weight gain is behind him too.  His good news spread thru the vet practice like crazy.  Since I didn't have to be up at 8 AM to feed and medicate him, he let me know at 8:15 he was really hungry.  I know now I can medicate him if necessary but it sure is nice to not give him the shots.  That's my wonder boy!!
