Hi, I've had a problem over the last few days with my cat not eating his wet food and only eating bits of dry. Blood tests show that he's fighting an infection but they're not sure what. To help with the dehydration I've been given him chicken broth, and also cat milk which I add extra water...

Hi, thank you for your responses. Yes, I've tried different brands of wet food and he still isn't interested. He usually LOVES Thrive complete 100% chicken and goes crazy for it whenever I open the can, but he's not even eating that.  I guess the dry food is less rich so is easier to stomach...

Hello, A few days ago my 1-year-old mixed/Main Coon started going off his food. Whenever I put a bowl of fresh wet food down for him, he'll sniff it, then walk away. I've tried everything to try and tempt him to eat it - e.g. warming it up, sprinkling his favourite treats on top, bits of...

Thanks Jenny. Yeah I've noticed he's shedding a lot more than usual lately - in fact I pulled a big chunk of fur from his mouth yesterday while he was grooming himself. I do try to brush him daily, but he absolutely hates it. It's hard to hold him still, and I usually end up with my hands clawed...

Hi Fleabags Mom, Thank you for your reply. Was a shock seeing it for the first time, but from what I've read it's quite common in long-haired cats as you said. I have given him a hairball remedy once before in the past when he was a little constipated, and it gave him quite bad diarrhoea - is...

Hi, I have a fairly long-haired 10 month old. He has never vomited before in his life, until a couple of days ago he vomited a browny liquid (also had mild diarrhoea soon afterwards, but only the once).  He seemed fine in and of himself, so I just monitored him. Today he vomited the liquid...

Thanks for your insight, Fleabags Mom. Stephanietx, what would be the signs of a URI? He's seems more like his old self today - alternating between sleeping, then having his little "mad moments". He's ran around the house a little, jumped up on the windowsill, and jumped at the window as birds...

Thanks Jcat. He's STILL sleeping. I'm hoping that it's just because he's exhausted after everything he's been through. He hasn't been interested in much today, except sleep and food, whereas yesterday he was his normal energetic self   Maybe it's just caught up on him. Fingers crossed he's back...

Thanks, Procat! I thought male cats don't have sutures though?   That's what I've been reading anyway, but maybe he has. I should have asked really. She probably told me when I went to pick him up, but it was a case of "information overload" so I can't remember. When I check the area, it almost...

Thank you for your reply, Stephanietx. It's good to know that there is someone else who can relate. Yeah, when I called the Vet to check how he was doing, she told me that he was up and about in his crate and that he was even having a "swipe" at her whenever she walked past or went to check on...

Hello everyone, I have just joined the forum. I just want to share my experience with you, and I am wondering if anyone else can relate? My 6 month old kitten was neutered yesterday morning. Vet said all went well, and he came round from the anaesthetic really well. We picked him up to come...
