Well the vet showed me to hold him up to my chest (feet facing my chest) with my knees brought up against his back. Sort of hard to explain but me and my boyfriend have realised a team effort works wonders haha! He is actually getting used to taking them I think - gets it first or second go...

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know that Pierre and Finley are both doing great, albeit naughty! While I'm here, I don't suppose any of you have any advice on ensuring your kitten doesn't hate you for force feeding him pills. The vet showed me how to do the actual pill giving properly and his...

Well I don't know much about the others, but being an Aussie biology student I have learned a fair amount about eucalypts. The reason they are toxic is due to the oil they produce for A) defense against herbivory and B) as a fire promoting technique. I don't know if you have ever wandered around...

Good news everyone! The antibiotics seem to be working! Haha I don't think I have ever been so glad to be meowed at for food. He is eating the roast chicken thank goodness! He has been drinking plenty too he is still a bit sluggish but definitely perked up since this morning. I just freaked out...

Tee hee, thanks guys they really are adorable, but you are quite right about the work! But they seem to be quick learners. Already toilet trained when we got them. I'm not sure how many of you have seen my post in the health section but we have had some sickness - but thank goodness they are...

Sorry to double post (won't make a habit of it :-P) I just wanted to show everyone my babies! Pierre is the tabby and white, Finley is the ginger and white

Thanks everyone for your kind welcome Julie-O, we decided against adopting adult cats after trying for a number of weeks at both the RSPCA and our local cat shelter. We just couldn't find an adult suited to our lifestyle. In the future we will always look to getting an adult - I hate the idea...

Okay, well I just got up to give Pierre his meds and then started the task of seeing what he would eat. He snubbed the dry food (both Whiskas and Science Diet) and the chicken but had a bit of a munch on some of the wet Whiskas very slowly. All up he ate about 25g or so (about 0.9 oz I think). I...

We fed them Science Diet dry food from the start, which is the food they were given in the cat centre we adopted them from. We had intended on feeding them Whiskas but the lady at the cat centre advised us against it - which is what got me scared when the little tyke wouldn't eat his prescribed...

Thanks Kailie, I will post the pictures once I read up on how to do it

Sorry! My bad, the most important part! The diagnosis was a gut infection (bacterial) and they were prescribed metrogyl (an antibiotic - I don't know if they use the same drugs worldwide).

Hi guys, I just posted in the 'new members' section of the forum but neglected to mention that my reason for joining the forum was not an all too pleasant reason. As can be read in the other thread, I recently adopted 2 kittens from a rescue centre. Unfortunately, the kittens we brought home...

G'day everyone Obviously I'm a new kid on the block so I'm not yet familiar with the way things are done here - I must apologise in advance for any ignorance. On previous forums I have frequented, the polite thing to do was to say hallo first and foremost. So yep, hi there everyone! I write...
