Good afternoon, everyone! Oliver has been battling fleas for quite a while, and our veterinarian believes he has a flea allergy that’s causing significant skin irritation. He was previously on Simparica Trio, but unfortunately it caused diarrhea, so we had to discontinue it. We recently...

Hi Sharon, thank you, Oliver just turned 7 in February. Luckily, there is a nutritionist at the specialist office and will have to reach out to them.

Sorry for the lack of updates—it's been quite an emotional roller coaster. In January 2026, Oliver was diagnosed with mild glomerular damage/dysfunction after our internal specialist submitted his urine for a Urine SDS-PAGE test. He’s had proteinuria for over a year, which is why he previously...
