UTI Gone... Unfortunately, it seems she picked up some kitty flu while at the vet and now has a URI. Sniffling, sneezing, eyes running and all that fun! I'm not liking paying for another vet visit when the vet visit is what made her sicker in the first place. What are the chances that an indoor...

You can either get a "Quick wash" non-water pet shampoo but be careful to avoid where his incision is OR you can use a warm wash cloth and a mild soap. Here with strays we use dawn ultra because it gets rid of fleas and isn't bad for them. So you would get the washcloth warm with a little bit of...

I read the directions on my kitten's kitten food. "Feed as much as your kitten will eat". I would only start worrying about weight when their body type changes. If they start to build some non-fluffy "Fluff". I'd continue to weigh them and make sure that they stay relatively close to each other...

Keep checking the stool. There's a CHANCE he ate something that would have shown up in the stool and appear red and isn't blood. Otherwise, blood can be caused by stool that's too hard to pass and tears the tissue it touches. OR serious issues like the others have stated.

Here we have three options The humane society here does free neutering based on zipcode which changes every month. The SNAP clinic offers reduced rate/free to low income persons Both the humane society and our animal defense league offer neutering/spaying for about $35 regularly Going to a...

I'm not sure, I let my kitten out with my male and my female without any issues. My female did clean his incision but it's so tiny and now it's healing perfectly fine. I feel sad he has scabby bits but hey that's the healing process. I'd wait for the wound to start healing, so drying up and...

That's a lot of requirements! Your male will probably be back to being a crazy running jumping kitten as soon as you get him home. Last week I had my kitten neutered and sure enough it was like nothing happened. With females it CAN be a little different. The surgery is definitely more involved...

The spay shouldn't be any more or less dangerous for her after giving birth and this will be the best thing for her. I wouldn't hold off on the spay due to the issues you're having with your other kitty BUT if you do and if she's still producing milk you can see if a rescue group has a litter...

The new vet was good (Although, nose up, my vet is better). Techs were awesome, she's back down to 7.2 pounds after getting a little chunky in 2012 at 8 pounds. She has a UTI, he gave her a steroid shot and I get to give her a dropper of bubblegum flavored amoxicillin twice a day. Oh how she...

My vet was fully booked, they recommended me to another vet and she has an appointment at 11. So not looking forward to this bill, and it sucks not being 100% certain that she's the one with the issue but I'm fairly sure.

Hello ShadowsRescue! Thank you for saving Marvin. I would not recommend blocking off his hiding place. It can cause him stress to not feel like he has a safe place to go and be alone when he needs it. He likely will find another secretive spot even if you do block it off, like my boy alternates...

He was neutered on Wednesday and stopped smelling Vet-Like on Friday (And regained acceptance from Vander). She started this behavior last night so it had been five days. Her added aloofness (She is an aloof kitty) does concern me a lot. She is, above all else, a cat and I can't go a night...

She's my first cat A year later I got Vander (now 13pounds and 3 years) who was 3 months old In mid October I got skeletor at 2 months from under an overpass. He was neutered last week and has been her baby, she cleans and cuddles him which she never did with Vander. Pecking order she may be...

Just out of curiosity, are both of your cats spayed?

Yes she can be spayed now. If her kittens had made it a lot of vets recommend holding off until the kittens are weaned for a number of reasons but due to her situation she's okay to be spayed any day now. Yes it will make a huge difference. Momma cat hormones are powerful, and some kitties also...
