my female kitten also was diagnosed with eosinophilic granduloma and we've had a few bouts with swollen bottom lip and sores on bottoms of paws that ulcerated. She also has had shots and has been on antibiotics which usually takes care of it for a few months. The vet has now suggested to...

We just got back from the vet and he gave Sophia a shot of cortisone and recommends Royal Canin Green Peas and Rabbit formula. Since we have two cats, the vet thought the best thing to do would be to put Sophia and Maya on this new diet. Too bad it's so expensive - $29 for an 8 lb. bag and...

My 8 month old female kitty,Sophia, was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex a few months ago. This is a type of allergic reaction. There is a tendency for this condition to occur in adolescent kittens. A few months ago I noticed that both her footpads on her left paws (front and...

I have two kitties. One was doing this for a while and then it just stopped?? Never did figure it out. I'm obsessing about all kinds of other kitty idiosynchrosies now

We just had our two girls spayed (picked them up from the vet last night) They were so rowdy and had turned from loving sisters to mortal enemies. We were so panicked that they were going to injure themselves that we went out to PETCO and bought two fairly large cages ($200). The cages make...

Now the vet sez he's concerned. He took a biopsy. We will hopefully get results in a week. Besides the lesions on her paws (left side only...weird) Sophia has apparantly developed a legion on her mouth (left side also). Anyone ever come across this? We're worried. Her mother was FIV...

I can't really help you. We are having our two "girls" spayed tomorrow. One of them is already used to the collar. The other one is gonna freak out for sure. Hopefully the vet knows what he's talking about, but in the wild when an animal gets a cut it usually licks it's wounds. As long as...

Thanx for the good vibes Stormy. The vet sez it's bacterial but he's not sure what it is exactly. Hopefully the meds and betedine will work.

We've been using Swheat Scoop litter since we got her 2 1/2 months ago and never noticed a problem. But maybe we just never noticed. Her sister, Maya, is fine and they share the same box.

We took Sophia to the vet today. He said she had some sort of an infection. He took blood and needs to determine if this is bacterial or fungal. In the mean time we have to give her antibiotics and clean the paws with betadine. Poor kitty. While she was there the vet gave her an FIV test...

I just noticed that my 4 month old female tabby has some swelling and redness on the bottom of her hind paw. There also appears to be some crusty matter (blackish color) in the same paw. She seems to be walking OK, and does not appear to be in pain, but I am obviously concerned about this...

Thanks! That's good to know. I think I will alternate between 3 or 4 different types of wet food, so they don't get sick of getting the same brand.

I have been feeding my two 4 month old female kittens Felidae dry which they really like. I free feed as they are still growing. I quess when they reach one I will stop free feeding and measure. They weren't too crazy about Felidae wet food, so I tried Nutro Max Cat canned. They seem to like...

If anyone knows the story about garlic, then please post. I just started feeding my kittens wellness canned along with nutro max cat can canned. I now understand that max cat has a bad preservative in it and that garlic is in wellness. I don't want to spend over $1 for a 3 oz. can but I do...

Have you ever tried Trader Joe's canned cat food? From what I could tell it seems like a pretty good quality food and the cost is only 49 cents for a 5.5 oz. can.
