    Adolescent Kitten Feeding-how much/how often?

    Thanks Chloe92us, that was very helpful.  When we first got Kenzie from the shelter, she didn't seem to want any dry food whatsoever.  The shelter had been feeding her Natural Balance, and when we got her home and left some out for her (mind you, I left a gladware 2 cup container 1/2 full out...

    Adolescent Kitten Feeding-how much/how often?

    Our lil Kenzie is approximately 5 months old, but has been fighting a uri since we got her 3 weeks ago, so she hasn't been very active. She is quarantined in a bathroom until she gets better. Her appetite isn't slowing down and she's as active as she can be in the area. Based on feedback...

    4 mo old rescue with URI, not getting better

    Awww poor Cali! That must have been painful for her to suffer with it to that point! I followed up with the vet and she's going to have Kenzie finish the Clavamox, then start 1/4 of a pill (25mg) of doxycycline, and continue the oxytetracycline ointment. She hadn't heard of lactoferrin as a...

    Adolescent Kitten Feeding-how much/how often?

    Thanks for the input! The vets recommendation seemed strange to me given Kenzie's age. It is a completely grain free diet, and I should mention, Kenzie never seemed to touch the dry food, though the idea of it going stale didnt cross my mind, so that could have been why! The vet seemed...

    Adolescent Kitten Feeding-how much/how often?

    Our 4.5-5 mo old kitten,Kenzie, is currently being fed 1, 5.5 oz can/day of Merrick Purrfect Bistro. She gets 1/2 the can in the morning and the other half about 7-8pm. Sometimes she eats most then 'saves' the rest to finish over the next hour, other times she gobbles it all up in one sitting...

    4 mo old rescue with URI, not getting better

    I've ordered the Jarrow Lactoferrin, it can't get here soon enough! As an update, she is still sneezing and yellow mucus goes flying :( I've left a message for the vet to call me back when she gets in today. Kenzie's left eye (the one that has had discharge since we got her) has finally...

    4 mo old rescue with URI, not getting better

    Thank you for all of the info!! We went on a bit if a shopping spree, got 2 bottles of the Twin Labs Lysine capsules (buy one get one 50% off!) and I think I'll keep this as a daily supplement even after the URI clears up just to support her immune system. We'll be moving in a few months and...

    4 mo old rescue with URI, not getting better

    Thank you so much for the in-depth response and affirmations! Supposedly with Embrace, I can continue right into a 12 month policy and anything that came up in the trial period will continue to be covered (ie 14 mos for price of 12-or so they say!). I'll definitely do the mashing up of the...

    4 mo old rescue with URI, not getting better

    We've had Kenzie for almost 2 weeks. We adopted her from local shelter's "adopt & shop store" (set up like a pet store but all dogs/cats are rescues). Paperwork said she had been cleared of URI and eye still had some clear discharge. They said antibiotics had been given and finished and she's...
