Thank you for this info @Tobermory! Reading a personal experience is extremely helpful. By any chance, do you happen to know what kind of meat was used for the cat at your rescue? I’m reading a lot of conflicting info on whether it’s better to feed meats with a lower risk of food borne illnesses...

Thank you! I am definitely going to look into the probiotic suggestion and the food. I hadn’t ever heard of RAWZ and just from a very quick Google search (will read more about it later) it seems to have great reviews.

I apologize if this gets long. I just want to make sure I provide all the necessary information. I've been doing a lot of research on FIV+ cats and raw diets and the information is definitely a bit overwhelming and conflicting. I've reached the conclusion though, that a raw diet might be the way...

its been a very long time since I’ve posted here (several years), but I’m back with a question that I’m hoping to get some opinions on. We recently took in a feral mama cat. She gave birth just a few days after we trapped her. (We run a rescue and everyone will be spayed/neutered after the...

Well it's been a very long time since I've had to post a question on this site, but this is a new one for me. My experience with newborn kittens isn't that vast. I once took in a pregnant stray who gave birth to one single baby (our problem with that one was the fact that mama didn't want to...

I'm curious to know if anyone has dealt with this before and if it was related to a spay surgery. First, We have a vet appointment in 2 hours so I know "go to the vet" is the correct answer. I'm just looking for other experiences. I do TNR and trapped a sweet little 6 month old kitten (basing...

Thank you very much! I'll go pick some up tomorrow. Here's hoping he won't notice the bitter taste.

First let me stress that I am typically anti-OTC medicines. I know how dangerous OTC flea medicine can be, and other medicines worry me. With that being said, here is my situation. I have a house full of cats. We had a small flea problem, which is now gone, but tapeworms were the result. One...

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I don't usually come into this subforum. I feed a colony of feral cats. One of them is definitely pregnant, and if I had to guess, she's about to give birth any day now. We've been TNRing this whole colony but this Mama Cat is giving us some...

This is a new one for me. Every time I think I've dealt with everything that can go wrong with cats, something new pops up! I was wondering if anyone had any advice on this one for me. About 2 weeks ago, the temperature dropped really low for this area and when my husband went outside to feed...

My dad has a 9 year old cat who only weighs 5 pounds. She's always been on the smaller side, and goes for routine vet checkups and there is nothing wrong with her. She actually doesn't LOOK that light (she's small but it's not something that stands out to the naked eye), but every time I pick...

I also have a cat with asthma. He was diagnosed when he was about 6 months old. He coughs just like you are describing so it may be worth checking out. His asthma has actually improved over time, but for a while, before I got him on medicine, he would cough mostly in the morning and at night.

As for the neutering early, Moses was neutered at 5 months, and he still had a massive blockage so I'm inclined to say that age isn't a factor when it comes to neutering and blockages. I'm more inclined to just say that some cats have bad luck and some don't. My ex's parents have raised all of...

They can all eat the Royal Canin SO food! I have 11 cats and all of them eat the same food as Moses now. It was just easier to have them all on the same diet and the vet said its perfectly safe for all of them to eat. I was told that the only cats that CAN'T eat it are ones with kidney issues...

As someone who lived in Washington state for a few years, just a 2 hours away from Vancouver, I can honestly say that vet care is NOT cheaper in the states. In fact, I have a cat with asthma, and I buy his medicine from Canada because it is so much cheaper. I am not sure how to help you, but if...
