Thank you for the advice. There is really only one today that isn't feeling as good as the others. The others have been running around this morning and playing. My daughter, who works at the SPCA, is going to see about getting something different to treat that one. They are on Clavamox now...

I have 5 foster kittens in my care right now with an URI. Two of them seem to be feeling worse than the others. They are very stuffy. They have all been on meds since Fri. I read a few older posts about this and I think I will try the steam treatment but I was wondering about nose drops. Is...

Thank you all for caring. It is hard to see our little fosters leave after a few weeks, to go back to the shelter (our fosters always go up to PETSMART) to get adopted. It is even harder when they leave us this way. We did do all we could and she had lots of cuddle time during the past couple...

The poor little girl didn't make it. She died some time during the night. She didn't seem to be getting better but didn't seem to be getting worse either. I guess she was too sick to begin with to kick this disease. How can we be sure the coccidia is gone from our house so future fosters...

The shelter told us to give her 1/2 a tablet the first day and then a 1/4 tablet every day after that. She was in pretty bad shape so I'm assuming this is going to take a while to get over. We are also giving her a little nutri-cal every day and re-bound mixed with her food. She won't drink...

We have a foster kitten that has been diagnosed with coccidia. She is currently getting a 1/4 of a 125mg tablet of Albon, once a day. We are also giving her fluids several times a day because she is dehydrated. She has been on the meds for almost a week now and she still has had no...

Good, I think we'll give the OTC tablets a try. I read what the dosages were on the website and we have their weights...we just finished taking them in for their yearly check-ups over the last 4 months, 2 at a time.

We just noticed that one of our cats has tape worms. That probably means they all need to be treated. We recently had to treat them for fleas which seem to be gone now. We assume that's how they got the worms since they are all inside cats. It can get pretty expensive getting meds at the...

O.K. Thanks for the advice. I was trying to avoid another trip to the vet but I suppose I should give them a call in the near future.

One of our cats is being treated for ringworm on her neck. The area appears to be getting smaller but the cream the vet gave us is almost gone. I was wondering if we could a product for human use, like Tinactin, instead of going back to the vet and getting more of the other stuff?

Thanks guys. We think they are pretty cute too!! We knew MommaKitty would be a good mommy because she was so protective of the 3 she brought with her over the summer. (By the way, the 2 girls from that litter are getting spayed today and Tiger got neutered a few weeks ago.) We were a little...

I am also glad you came here to find comfort after the loss of Link. There are so many wonderful people at this site that are always around to help any way they can.

Hi Barb and welcome to the cat site!!

I wish I knew!! Ours do the same thing. They have several different scratching posts, which they all use, but they still use the furniture too.

Debby...What you did for those little furbabies was wonderful. I'm so sorry some of them died. It sounds like little Opie has a very good chance of making it. I was a bit concerned with the kittens we have when they were born. Two of them were a lot smaller than the others and seemed to get...
