My 12 week old kitten was shaken by a dog 3 days ago and received trauma just like shaken baby syndrome. She survived and my vet said she will probably improve over time. She is very unsteady on her feet and still turns her head to the right. Her right pupil is larger than the left. Has anyone...

I have sort of a rescue for kitties in my town. People started bringing me their sick, unwanted or injured kitties. Now I have 17 and the formula for cats is not cost effective for me. I use frontline plus now and if pet armor works just as well I will switch to it.

Are frontline plus and pet armor plus the same? Would like to use the pet armor plus for dogs in my kitties to reduce costs, but labeling says otherwise. Want to make sure tere are no hidden ingredients to harm my cats

Thank you for being there with your sound advice and big hearts. I am very thankful to all of you.

Took my kitty in this morning. The vet will neuter him and give him a steroid shot. He feels it is a virus and he should make a full recovery shortly.

I did not take it as such. I have enough criticism being a crazy cat lady. Getting kitties spayed/neutered is one of the first things I try to do after getting them healthy. Usually I get a kitten or an adolescent cat that is ill or hurt and they are abandoned to fend for themselves or I come...

Thank you.

He is a rescue kitty and have had him a few weeks. He is scheduled to be neutered in 2 weeks. I have 14 rescue kitties and only 4 left to be spayed/neutered. I wish I had the funds to do this as soon as I get them, but am doing the best I can and giving them a good healthy, loving life. Thank...

I am taking my 8 month old ginger kitty to vet in the am but he is very miserable tonight with testicular swelling. He won't eat. I am force feeding him broth and baby food and water but am so worried about his discomfort. Any suggestions for keeping him comfortable until ?

We moved to this area a year ago and brought our cats with us. All healthy, and all but 2 spayed/neutered. We ended up with a litter of kittens and it seems that soon after that, my house became a kitten rescue. I rescued one from a drainpipe and another from a car motor. But people started...

I have a diffuser but have not tried any treats. Since I posted this, I noticed he is being more interactive and not so focused on himself. Maybe the vet was right and He just needed time to one to grips that he almost died and made it through. I just hate that he is anxious. Thank you for the...

I did take him to the vet long before I started seeking advice from this board. My vet feels he is still stressed from being so ill. I am looking for suggestions to get him to stop and get his fur to regrow.

My 3 year old cat became very ill a few months ago but recovered. His behavior changed to where he would run outside and stay away for a few days (he's been neutered for 2 years). When he returned the last time I took precautions so he cannot get outside again. Now he obsessively grooms. He's...

Thank you. So far her appetite has been good. We have had to spend a few sessions in the steamy bath. Mostly it's the constant snot. Lol. Hopefully she will recover in time

Someone dropped off a kitten about 10 weeks old that had crusty eyes and a very snotty nose. Vet recommended lysine and antibiotic. She continues to gain weight and is playful and social, but her eyes and nose continue to run with a light green discharge. Any recommendations for the discharge...
