kitty care
This is totally going overboard, but it seems my little Marley has an allergy. Probably a food thing or something. The vet can only do so much and they have limited experience with dealing with nutrition for cats. So, I went to a Manhattan pet store called Whiskers that has a nutritionist dude there. I have to say, he was really nice and answered all of my questions (I asked a lot of them). He recommened what to cut out of his diet (dry food, fish, grains) and supplements to help boost his immune system. I'm using some medicated ear drops to clear up his ears for the next 10 days. He really hates the drops, but at least he doesn't run away while I put them in. Anyway, he also told me to take up the food after 1/2 hour, don't let it sit out. Which is a real good idea. On Monday he, Marley that is, was throwing up at like 4 AM. Seems he didn't eat all of his wet food and decided to eat some. Yuck! We shall see how it goes.
