Every time I stand near the kitchen and then later start to call his name, he hides. He knows his antibiotic is in the fridge.

Really? What is churu, and where can a person buy it? Is it made specifically for cats?

[-] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 5 months ago

It is the best cat treat I've found.

I'm in the southern US and most stores that have cat food and treats also have these.

I’ll have to look for that. It looks like something he would eat. Thanks for the info!

No problem. My little buddy just had hip surgery and pins put in his leg. While he didn't mind the meds for the first couple days, he got tired of them fast. The churu really helps, and helps keep them hydrated.

Ouch! I hope he is feeling better! Did the veterinarian need to do a second surgery to remove the pins?

[-] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 months ago

I don't think they know yet. He just had the surgery a week ago so the stitches haven't been removed yet and he's still confined to a smaller crate to limit his movement. The Dr. did say something about leaving the pins where they would be easy to remove later but I think that was only if needed.

Poor guy hasn't had a good month. He was just recovering from a black widow bite on his paw that got infected and made him sick. Not 2 days after he finished his antibiotics, he managed to severely dislocate his hip and break the top off his femur.

Good boy Mo

How traumatic for him! He sure is cute! I hope he makes a fast recovery!

Thank you! Same for Blue. I've been watching his updates. Glad he's doing better!

It's a gravy kind of treat that comes in a tube, specifically made for cats. If you live in the US, Walmart carries it!

Walmart, Petsmart, Petco, Amazon; They're everywhere, and come in too many flavors! Inaba (Japan) seems like a quality company, and Churu is well- reviewed (it's protein puree, high moisture, nothing terrible in it).

My 12 y/o buddy just started eating them (chicken flavor), and goes alarmingly nuts for them. Great for adding water to diet, sick days, meds, etc. (Nulo, Tiki Cat, others also make quality puree pouches.)
