This particular kitten is the "guardian" of the bunch. He needs to know whe his brothers and sister are near and where they are if they are not near. He eats just as much if not a little more than the other two... Although the boys are pretty evenly matched.. He also was the first to pee and...

The kittens I've fostered are the same age and I let them out to walk about every time I feed.. So they can explore a bit.

Hi all- I've rescued and fostered three brand new baby kittens. They're 2.5 weeks. I am bottle feeding(using a syringe, they wouldn't take the bottle) and stimulating every 3-5 hours.. We're trying to get them used to soft food and eating from a saucer (vet recommendation). Please give any...

My cat Lucy had loose stools for MONTHS- at least 6. She was on the z/d as well for quite some time- STILL had loose stools. SO I switched her to Grain free and with in a week no problems.  I would DEFINITELY recommend a grain free. I use blue buffalo.

My girls have interesting codes. Ana "panicked meows"=PLEASE let me up on the bathroom counter so I can get my muggy paws all over the mirror! or Please let me sit on your lap while you go to the bathroom. Lucy "bits nose and fingers while asleep"=wake up! its almost 4:30 so that means...

I am happy to give my ideas and YAY that he played with the string tonight. That is so awesome. Keep trying that and maybe he will completely change. I know my cats love the balls with bells in them. Cats also like vertical space, so if you give him a place to get up high he may be more happy. I...

I ordered the 1lb l-lysine. And I ordered a more "tasty" pro bio that is supposed to do the trick (reviews on amazon). I will be speaking with the vet today about the sickness above as well! Thank you!

Man, So I've basically just gotten used to the fowl smelling, watery stools again.. I've a phone call into the vet to discuss Tritrichomonas Foetus to see if this was tested for when they did fecals on both cats. The younger cat isn't having problems as often (but once in a while), just Lucy...

Once again, I am at my desk in tears over my little kitties digestive problems.  This time, IAMS was recalled. So.  Now what? I am seriously at a loss here.  Lucy had watery stool again this morning, although the last ones were solid.  I'm starting to think the pro bio is what made the...

I too scoop at least twice a day- normally 3-5 times. I also have the litter problem getting everywhere problem, so each time I scoop, I sweep the bathroom as well (I cant stand the litter around).  I use the arm and hammer deodorizer:  My cats have no problem with it and it does help the...

LUCY HAD SOLID POOP FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT. Man, that was such an amazing thing.  BUT, now she has a slightly water eye.. could this be an allergy?  It's like it never ends.

Thank you all for your comments and ideas. I am happy to say that mom always knows best- my mom that is. She has been saying, switch to a Purina cat chow meow meow meow! since Lucy first developed the wet stool (the day I got her). So- I called a few people who have had cats in the past, and...

The S. Boulardii has not proven effective. Ana the younger kitten is having less liquid stool, but Lucy had worse stools yesterday- completely liquid. I am going to try to change foods to a grain free and continue the pro bio. 

Ok-So my new "variable" that I'm going to change for a few weeks is adding in the pro bio to the z/d food. If this makes no head-way I will change foods again- potentially to raw- but that I will have to look into more, just because I don't handle meat often and I do not trust myself.  Thank...

It was mostly water. And shes into bugs as well.. Wouldn't surprise me..  Just feed her a piece of raw chicken?! Yikes- that makes this mama nervous. What if there's something icky on it.
