I would take her to the vet and explain what has been going on. Maybe they can do some blood work to rule out anything major. It might be just an infection that antibiotics would take care of. Good Luck!

Well I hope that new drug for him will help out! Poor guy! Keep us posted. Vibes for him......

No, the vet tried the enema's first, then she did an x ray. So, it seems that your vet is doing xrays everytime. That's good! My boy was also very dehrydrated, he wasn't drinking at all, so now I add a couple of tablespoons of water to his food along with the fiber just to be sure he is...

Hi! My 10 year old cat had the same problem last year, watery vomit, constipated. The vet did several enemas, which didnt work. Because he is large, about 20 lbs, she couldnt feel any abstructions in his abdomen, but after an x ray she found that he had a big blockage of feces. She sedated...

My 11 year old cat had the same problem about a year ago. It got so bad he was impacted, the vet had to do surgery to get it all out of his intestine. He wouldn't touch the pumpkin even mixed with his food. The vet can try an enema. I currently use a fiber tablet that I purchased from...

My male cat also had crystals in his urine. He had a very diffucult time unrinating. He was on antibiotics for about 3 weeks, and the special urinary tract diet, which he is still on to this day. I used to mix water in with the food. It does take time to clear up though!

Thanks everyone for the info!! I did some research and called a few vets in my area. There are no low -cost clinics within 100 miles of my location. So I called a couple of other vets in my area. The $400.00 I paid last time for a spay was way high according to 2 other vets I called. I will...

I took in a starving stray a few months back. She's very sweet, but she went into heat over the weekend. I was waiting until after the holidays to spay her. The last time I had a kitty spayed was years ago, at that time my vet did a whole blood workup series on her before her surgery. She...

I have a 10 year old indoor cat. The past couple of days he has had very itchy ears, and there seems to be some black "stuff" when I look inside his ear. Does anyone know what this could be?? Thanks!

I have 4 week old kittens and they are just learning to use the box. Sometimes they will just play in it. A couple of them have gotten the hang of it though. As for the Mom, mine did the same thing, getting litter all over. I switched her to a Rubber Made storage box, it is about 8 inches...

I have 4 week old kittens from a stray that I have been taking care of. Mom is still nursing them. I have seen on websites that they will begin eating a mush of kitten food at 3 to 4 weeks. I have made it for them everyday for the past 4 days or so. They still have no interest in it. Also...

I have called all the no kill shelters in my area, they are all full and will not help. I asked for them to put them on their website when they are ready to leave Mom. But with no reply. I guess I'm on my own to give these little ones the best new homes I can find for them.

Yes Jen, my gripe is I'm tired of other people not doing that. Now I must incure the cost of someone not being responsible for their pets. Again.

I see sooo many kittens have been born lately. I sure hope everyone will spay and neuter these cats. I have had the burden of taking in a pregnant stray that was starving in my back yard. She had 5 kittens last week. All the shelters are full. I wish people would take responsibility and not...

I've taken in a litter of 5 newborns and their mom. They are one week old, and I am going to care for them until they are old enough to be adopted. Any advice on what to house them in when they start walking around? I want to keep them safe, but also need the mom to have access to them. I...
