    Possible FIP - good thoughts needed!

    Thanks Kira I named her peanut because she is shaped like one...lol and when she first cuddled up to me, she definately smelled like peanuts! So yes, I guess it is a cute name for a cat then..hehe A month after I caught Peanut, Wally (a.k.a Walnut) was still coming around looking for his...

    Possible FIP - good thoughts needed!

    Thanks for the hugs to Wally (He sure loves a good hug and rub whenever he can get it!) I pray that is true about the higher titer not being anymore of a risk than the lower count of a result. His sister, Peanut is a carrier which means she either gave it to him, or he to her, or they could...

    Possible FIP - good thoughts needed!

    Kira, Your Mina sounds exactly like my Wally's situation. He too was diagonsed with the FIP corona virus, in which they told me he had a very high titer result. After that diagnose, I was totally paranoid that the virus would progress in FIP. I also did tons of research online as well, it's...

    FIP virus

    I am sorry to hear about your sweet cat, Cliff. How old is he? Ask your vet about Interferon for treatment. Some cats have had a good response to it. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/P...nterferon.html http://www.catclinic.co.uk/therapy/interferon.htm I too have 3 positive FIPV cats...

    Sneezing after Vaccinations

    Thanks, I'll look more into both thermometers. The ear one sounds a little easier for both me and the cats! Sandie, I think I may get the vaccines every three years just for Jake. He definately is the odd ball here, I've never had a problem before with the others. He is, btw sneezing less now...

    URGENT- need advice about ferals and hurricane

    Callie is adorable! I might have another suggestion for you for trapping her. Put your cats in your bedroom, open the front door with food just inside the door. Sit in your car or somewhere else outside unseen and wait for her to go to the door. If she is curious, she will go up to door...

    Sneezing after Vaccinations

    Thanks Sandie, You have been a great help! I'll give him another dose before we go to bed. Hopefully this will clear it up. It's too bad we can't tell which vaccine is causing this reaction (if that's what it is) because she gave them all at once! I don't think I will be giving him anymore...

    Sneezing after Vaccinations

    I gave him .05 cc of it when I got home around 6pm just to be safe (it was barely a drop). I bought Benadryl Elixir (It was the only liquid there). It says 12.5 mg per teaspoon. He weighs 12 lbs. (He's skinny but muscular) He spat it out the little drop that I managed to get in. (He actually...

    Sneezing after Vaccinations

    LOL, ya that is a classic picture of him! Yes, she gave all of those vaccines to him at once. As long as I have had Kitty, she's 11, they have been giving her the same shots each year which include all of these also (even though she is an indoor cat, I've questioned that many times and she...

    Sneezing after Vaccinations

    Thanks for your reply. I'm hoping he will recover soon after the vaccines kick in. Jake is the only one out of all of them that usually sneezes. I keep all bowls clean and make sure they get their vitamins and minerals as I am trying to keep them all healthy as possible. Maybe it's just too...

    Sneezing after Vaccinations

    Is this normal? My 1-year-old, Jake is constantly sneezing now after I got his annual shots. It was done Saturday and he started to sneeze on Monday and still again today. Should I worry? Background: I have 5 cats, two strays that are FIPV positive and one other also positive. Jake was tested...

    Constipation

    That's what I was thinking also, that something is blocking passageway but they did an x-ray a year ago it just showed the big hard stool stuck in her. We just don't know why it gets so big and hard for her to pass it. It's more than likely it's hair related but that then makes me wonder why the...

    Constipation

    Thank-you for keeping your fingers crossed for me, it must have worked! I called the vet this morning and she said that Kitty's bloodwork is normal. Whew! I cried last night expecting the worst! I'm so glad it's nothing severe. They said they gave her a few enimas this morning and she was able...

    Vaccinations: Annually or Not?

    Wow! Thank-you Traci for your advice. All my cats are strickly indoor cats. The 3 cats I had before I brought the strays home were all up to date with their shots and were disease free except for of course for my 3 year old, Jasper who has Lymphocytic plasmacytic stomatitis (LPS)(it's not...

    Constipation

    Thanks for your suggestions, I'll be sure to try those items you mentioned. I took Kitty in today to the vet. I dropped her off early in the morning before the Doctor was in so I had to wait all day for her to call me back on her findings. I assumed kitty was having another one of her episodes...
