I wiped the area with a damp paper towl so it doesn't look like flea dirt. It's probably cat acne like you said. I do wonder why he got them because I only use ceramic and stainless steel dishes. Thank you for your reply!

I have another question. What could this dark spot on his chin be? It wasn't there before. It looks like it could be a scab of some sort? But I don't know how he would hurt himself there. There's also a small dark spot on the side of his mouth that has gotten a little bigger. At first I thought...

Yes, I thought that could be a cause too. But since his belly is soft and he hasn't been farting lately (he had some smelly farts for about a week when he first got him) the vet thinks it might not be due to intolerance. I'll keep up with updates from time to time whenever Kratos shows any...

So just an update. The vet didn't come up with any concrete solutions. Just that FIP is at the top of the list for the cause of his big belly. She gave him Drontal in the off chance he still has worms and a round of Revolution. The vet did suggest 3 other tests that we could do: Histoplasmosis...

Not yet. I take him to the vet tomorrow morning. Kratos has still been acting normal, and his belly is still really big.

Here are some photos of what his belly looks like.

Yes I have given him some plain pumpkin mixed in with his canned food. It didn't seem to make a difference both before and after he's been on Albon. I will take a picture tonight when I get off work.

My male kitten Kratos, is about 17 weeks old. When I last went to the vet to get his last set of booster shots, she was concerned about his slightly swollen belly. (The other 2 times we came in a different vet saw him). He also had very soft, golden colored poops. Based on those 2 symptoms, plus...

I got the kitten from a rescue organization and they also had about 5 other kittens. My adult cat still is not super tolerant of the kitten, so she does not like to eat when he's around. I do put their bowls in separate rooms that are next to each other and close the door, but my older cat...

I have had my 10 week old male kitten for about 2 weeks now. He keeps on trying to eat the food from my 5 year old female resident cat's bowl. I feed them at the same time in their own bowls in different places. They both get dry food during the day and wet food at night, with kitten getting...

I totally forgot I made an account for this site years ago when I got my first cat, and just wanted to say thank you so much for this thread! My new kitten got ear mites so I was looking for other preventatives besides Revolution to stop my older cat from getting it, too. I researched and saw...

Hi all, I am new and concerned about my cat, Luna. Last month I slowly tried to change my 10month Luna's dry food to something better. Her normal food is Purina One and the new food I gave was small abouts of Taste of the Wild dry. After about a week she started throwing up several times a day...
