I bought some genteal for the time being to see if that clears up any irritation with the eye. We were overly cautious when we put him in antibiotics. He really only sneezed like once or twice but since the eye was squinty and he was at the shelter when there was URI there, he went on meds as...

I second the recommendation for Capstar if the cat has live fleas. It only lasts in their system for 24 hours so it works best when you also use a topical treatment (revolution is my favorite). If there's an active flea infestation, vet usually recommend capstar plus 3 months of topical to...

Fortiflora (for cats, made by Purina) is a powder probiotic that has always worked great for me with cats or kittens with diarrhea. It usually clears things up within a few days and the taste hasn't seemed to bother any of the cats. It's easiest to mix it in with their favorite wet food.

I checked the conjunctiva in both eyes this morning and there's no inflammation or redness like you'd usually see with conjunctivitis. Nothing going on with the third eyelids either. The discharge has a slight color but nothing that really screams eye infection. It looks more like the human...

Reuben is a 5 month old kitten and was taken out of an old barn about a month ago. He was cover in fleas and had ear mites but otherwise looked pretty healthy. He was given treatment for the fleas (revolution and capstar) and dewormer (pyrantel) and has since been vaccinated against rabies and...

Hi, this cat has been in the area for several weeks and no one in the neighborhood seems to know where it came from. I'm having a hard time sexing it.. If it's a neutered male or female. If he's neutered, it must have been young because he's fuzzy back there but there's no obvious scrotum...
