Thanks, I think he's going to bankrupt us, at this point lol my adult eats 4 nuggets a day. 14 between the two of them... oh man    Gotta do what ya gotta do, though. It's not even like he looks like he'll be a big cat or anything either. I've had kittens his age with paws the size of my dog's. 

My cat is on 100% raw diet, I occasionally give her chicken necks. She's a pig, so she'll gnaw the entire thing down in one sitting if I let her. I've given her rib bones before too (they were too small for my dog), and always save the turkey necks from thanksgiving dinner (though they need to...

Hello, I foster failed on one of my rescue kittens and he's been nothing but trouble when it comes to food. He was found at 8 weeks extremely skinny and sick. There was weeks of force feeding, supplements, medication, on and on. Anyway he did eventually recover, and has been the pickiest eater...

He is feeling much better today! He was meowing to get out of his quarantine room and gobbled up his breakfast. Also, they are switching him to a different antibiotic tonight for URI. Not sure which drug yet. Yay!

Thanks, yeah the first vet visit when he wasn't eating, the vet said "possible URI" and maybe he just couldn't smell his food (he had a scabbed nose and was dirty and all the usual but he wasn't snotty or sneezing or coughing). At the second visit, with a different vet, they didn't feel there...

Thanks so much everyone. I have a call in to the vet to see what they say. Considering we are halfway done his antibiotics and he is improving (at least he is improving on the original issues like not eating) I do not think they will switch him. I am fingers crossed and on the edge of my seat...

I have a foster kitten that was rescued Oct 9 at approximately 8 weeks old, he was emaciated and full of worms/mites etc. Same day he got his vaccines(all but rabies/leukemia), revolution, and first dose of dewormer. First two days he ate several meals daily of wet kitten food mixed with water...

I've had 20+ foster cats and recommend the following links. ALL of these things need to be considered-  not just medical issues. Sometimes it is a real process of mystery solving but I have yet to meet a cat I can't eventually train...

Hello, My cat got her Feline Leukemia and Rabies vaccines for the first time (she's four but an indoor cat). We did the FL shot 3 months ago, with a booster 2 months ago and her rabies at the same time (rabies right leg, FL in left). Had in-depth talk with vet about the safety of it , etc. but...
