Hey all! Thanks for all the posts and great insight! I called the vet this am as SOON as they opened and he said that her urine results had come back clear, no cystals or any infection forming. He is sure she has acute cystitis (which when you research online is inflammation of the bladder...

I'm really hoping all she needs is some antibiotics and it is nothing more serious. I too suffer from UTI's and know how painful they are. When I first noticed her behavior, I mentioned it to my bf and he kinda shrugged it off.. Boy did I let him have it b/c I felt so bad for her, I felt her...

Carolinalima, I appreciate your input greatly. When we initially went to the vet, there had been NO blood in her urine, we saw the sample and it was clear, not cloudy and he looked at it under the microscope but sent it to the lab and it came back negative... now 2 days later there is. I agree...

I don't think they used a needle... It looked like he massaged her bladder and had a tube to catch the urine... The drops he gave us are called Akutur, which I researched a little online and it is a homeopathic remedy which is supposed to be a fast and powerful therapy for acute and chronic...

Hey everyone... it's been a long time since I've posted but I'm having some issues with one of our newer additions... A little over a year ago, we added 2 new kitties to our home (they started as ferals, there was a thread on here somewhere) Recently, I noticed that Penelope, my female tuxie...

Thank you all so so much for replying!! We clipped their claws last night and it went amazingly!! They didn't howl or hiss and didn't really squirm until we got to the back paws. I was so proud As for the caging... Penelope (which is the tuxie female) will purr and purr when you come in the...

We also have the dirt devil and I hate to say this but it sucks!! It does NOT pick up litter well. We are looking into a smaller vacuum that wont damage our wood floors. Roxie has the booda dome litter box and it works quite well for keeping the litter in. But my Roxie is a messy litterbox...

So the little kitters are keeping me quite busy!! I'll have a detailed update tomorrow but I just had a quick question. Do you think it is ok to clip their nails? They were clipped about 2 weeks ago when we got them by the woman at the rescue organization but are starting to get sharp again...

Okay so I need some help here! The kittens are definately progressing well -- they are much better than last Monday when we first got them. But it is clear they still have some trust issues with people The tuxie female is a doll and will purr on occasion or cry until you let her out of the...

Oh Sarah, this really is too funny! Of our 2 feral kittens our purr head is our femal tuxie!! Maybe it's a personality thing... or just another funny coincidence It really is a great feeling. Hope the socializing is going well on your end!!

Sarah, I'm glad you could also use the wonderful advice in this thread!! For us, the babyfood was really the ice breaker. My kittens had been seperated from mom so were quite wary of any people since we took her away from them. But as soon as I put a little of the good stuff on my finger they...

So the kittens have been keeping me quite busy lately but I don't mind. They are sweet little things and once they get over their fears will be wonderful pets. We have been making great progress. The little orange one seems much more comfortable around us. The tuxie is kind of oblivious to...

Thank you Wendy, for sharing your story. It is great to hear your babies have come so far!! Both kittens are already fixed and even had their ears tipped so they may still be getting over the traumatization of it all. I want to get them tested and given their shots but I want to wait because...

I started a new thread on the kittens and their socialization. Thank you everyone for your advice and support. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=170758 Pop in to see how they are doing or offer any advice you have.

The alley cat allies article is one of the many I found when I did a google search and has been very helpful. Thank you for sharing the link! We do have another cat, Roxie (as seen in my siggy ). I haven't let her get close to the kittens and she is far from thrilled that they are here. She...
