This is my DIY feeding puzzle, preferred by two of my four cats. I modified it with the wooden base after my 11-pound cat would just tip over the original cardboard box that I'd cut holes out of to hold the cups. Make sure the cups are narrow enough so that the cat can't just face plant and eat out of the cup.

Sweet dreams: Anesthesia for the diabetic patientAdvertisement
Related to this article

Company representatives spoke with dvm360 about a once-weekly treatment for cats with subclinical heart disease, a compact activated carbon product designed to reduce the mess of toxin treatment, and an endoscopy system built for procedures in the field.

In honor of Feline Diabetes Awareness Month, Kelly Cairns, DVM, MS, DACVIM (SAIM), explains what the new AAHA guidelines mean for diabetic cats, from spotting early clinical signs to weighing treatment options and building a long-term plan with clients.

The agency says the manufacturer, Arrow Reliance, has not adequately recalled the frozen food, which carries no expiration date and may still be in owners’ freezers.

New treatment guidelines, a genetic first in cats, and fresh options in anesthesia make up the first half of our countdown of the year’s most-read stories.

Alyssa Mages, CVT, FVTE, VTES, discusses catheter selection, common placement mistakes, and how preparation and hands-on practice can help veterinary technicians build confidence and improve patient care.
