I have a kitten I've been fostering for the shelter for a few months, he was given to me the day he had his front leg amputated (he was about 4 months old, the leg had been badly broken and healed improperly) and was also neutered. He has healed and coped INCREDIBLY well, he's exceeded...

Thanks for the advice! Good news is the babies are doing very well and growing like healthy little weeds! Now, on to momma kitty.... Momma kitty had a fecal and no signs of giardia came up. She had another round of tapeworm medication and regular wormer. After this and lots of probiotics her...

I am having the EXACT same issue with my foster momma. Here is my thread http://www.thecatsite.com/t/303895/emaciated-foster-mama-cat-with-severe-diarrhea . I've had her about a month as well. Only difference is my kitty doesn't have any blood in her stool. I'll be watching closely for the...

   I was given a kitty from the shelter to foster. She looks a bit older and has 3 kittens. She came to me with a pretty bad URI when the kittens were about 3 weeks old and they were all slightly sick as well. She was painfully thin, basically skin stretched over bones and she weighed less than...

Sorry for being absent, it's been busy with Tybs and some new foster kitties. We are using a compounding pharmacy so we can get the medications in liquid form, as he is very...fractious, about medications. So far I'm still the only one brave enough to give him the medicine, haha. He's for sure...

Ooooohkay, back from the pharmacy. He has atenolol and clopridgrel. So, I don't have much experience with prescription meds. On the bottle, where it says "quantity" is that how many doses you get? The atenolol only has a quantity of 15, that seems reaaaally low if that's true, because he gets a...

Here's some pics of my Tybs. One pic of him as a kitten, a recent pic of him helping my mom in the garden (don't worry, it's all fenced and he's always supervised with us), and a pic of him with his brother and sister (Tybs is the seal point on the left laying down). His brother was rehomed to a...

Thanks for all the love and support! I really appreciate it. Today has been hard. Just got back from the vets. She said this pretty much seals the deal for her that he has been throwing clots, and somehow resolving them on his own (she said this is very rare, especially his quick turnarounds...

Well, everything had gone fine with Tybs until yesterday morning. He had recovered fully, was being his usual sweet goofball self, and then yesterday morning I woke up to find him on the floor yowling. Ran over and pet him (he was laying on his back with his legs toughing the sofa) and tried to...

Tybs did come out and have some food and used his litterbox. He stayed out for about 10 minutes, during which I attempted to get him to eat his supplement. Nope. Refused to eat it on the wet food, and spit it out when I tried it with butter. Hrm. He went back under the bed, but is now out and...

@CatPack  For your Maine Coon, did you do the panel and find abnormalities and then go for the echo? Or did you just do the echo? I'm wondering if the echo should be done still if the bloodwork comes back okay? @mickNsnicks2mom  Thank you!! I will check that out. I could understand this issue...
