Cat not drinking as much water
My vet just examined my cat (7yo Ragdoll cat) and said he needs 2 teeth pulled, but that has not been scheduled yet. Meanwhile, I changed his food from dry to moist in case it was hurting him to chew the dry food. Since then, his appetite has increased, but he is not drinking much water compared to how much he drank before. He is still urinating regularly, as I find the clumps when I clean his litter box daily. I called my vet's office and they said not to worry... but he drank lots of water before! Should I be concerned? Is there anything else I can or should do? Thank you for your time. |

Cat recovering from hepatic lipidosis-fatty liver disease
My Silver Tabby (8yo female neutered) is now recovering nicely, from Hepatic Lipidosis, and is eating and drinking on her own.She now weighs 8 pounds, and is active and playful.I can feel her ribs, but they have a covering of fat, so I'm wondering, is this a good weight for her? She eats about a quarter of a cup of Feline Iams Adult Maintenance a day, and that has recently increased a bit.Is that enough? Most of the time when I'm at work, she sleeps, and is active in the evening.Thanks!
