Question by Annabelle: I took my cat who is 15 to the vet…..?
He had a bunch of test done, its called a senior wellness profile. His blood work came back basically good considering his age. His kidneys were slightly off. His doctor wants to change his diet to a special kidney diet. I’m having reservations with this since he is 15 and loves his canned and dry food that he has been on for years. He will not like this change and frankly I don’t want to put him through the stress of changing his food at this age.
Any thoughts on this from owners of our senior pets?

Well, you have two choices. You can either switch his food to help his kidneys stay healthy, or you can risk kidney failure. You could always make the transition very slowly so that it’s not a shock to his digestive system. You don’t have to do a switch cold turkey.

How do I care for a pregnant dog, a nursing dog, and her puppies?
I just found out my little sister’s dog is pregnate, and I’m the one who’s going to have to take care of it. She is due any day now, and is expecting a not-so-easy delivery because either the litter is huge, or the puppies are huge. We’re really not sure. My parents aren’t going to take her to the vet unless she is in labor and having problems. I’ve already cleaned her bowls, dog house, and toys and removed the other dog from her pen. Other than watching her very carefully, is there anything else I should do?
They’ve said “She’s not coming in the house.”
We were expecting her to deliver today since she is now almost a week overdue. Her milk has only come in the back but not in the front. She’s still eating. I don’t get it. What’s taking so long?
She had them today. There are at least seven (it’s hard to count when she’s in front of half of them). She’s fine and they’re fine.
