Thanks for using Boop by Petco! The vomiting and inappetence could be due to gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis, among other possibilities. The skin issues are possibly due to allergies. This warrants evaluation by a veterinarian. It really comes down to figuring out what is causing his allergies so that they can be treated or the specific allergen avoided. There are many things that can cause allergies though in most cases they can be broken down into 3 big categories: flea, food and environmental allergies. Allergies are usually worked up in a stepwise fashion starting with flea allergies as this is the easiest and cheapest to take care of. If not on a flea preventative, then it would be a good idea to get started on one. If already on one then it would be a good idea to change to something else (there are many new products out in the market). If not improved in 1-3 months then it is time to move on and check for food allergies by switching to a novel diet (n

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. Dogs and cats definitely grieve for other animals. If any of Luna's behaviors are concerning or are not resolving with time, I have had luck with a Bach Flower Essence called Rescue Remedy or a custom compounded blend for grief. http://www.bachflower.com/rescue-remedy-pet/ I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Poor Buddy! This could be his personality and not want to be around other cats. There could also be another cat that is "picking" on him. Cats are very finicky. Any small amount of stress can cause them to stop using the litter box. A new cat outside (even if they are strictly indoors), construction around the house, new people/pets in or out of the house, the owners being at home more or less than usual, a dirty litter box, loud noises near the litter box, not enough litter boxes, and many more reasons why they may not use the litterbox. There are several recommendations I have that may help improve litterbox usage: 1. Follow the rule: a litter box per cat +1 extra litterbox. This means if you have 2 cats, I would recommend 3 litter boxes. I totally understand that if you have 3-4 cats, that having 4-5 litter boxes gets a little crowded, but I would strongly encourage as many litter boxes as you can handle. 2. Try not put litter boxes in any high traffic areas, where dog

Hi there and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Congratulations on your new kitty! In these situations it is best to do introductions very slowly. Some suggestions I have for you are as follows: 1) Use a Feliway diffuser to reduce overall tension in household 2) Go back to the beginning and over the first week introduce by smell only (introducing cats to each others bedding or something that has their scent on it) 3) Then introduce by sight only but no direct interaction. Do this for a week 4) Finally introduce cats together but only with direct supervision and with plenty of escape routes for both cats. Only leave them together for a very short time at first 5) Have plenty of tall cat towers and other things for the cats so they can observe each other from a distance 6) Have at least 3 litter boxes in different locations and definitely continue to feed separately and have separate water bowls. I hope this is helpful! Good luck to you and Malish!
