The vet had estimated her at 4-6 weeks old. He said the eyes open at 3 weeks and they start to get their baby teeth at 4 weeks. Her teeth had already started coming in when I found her. She's been teething and chewing on her towel and my clothes when I hold her. I tried feeding her some KMR...

We had been feeding her about a teaspoon of wet food every 3 hours per the vets instructions. We've since spaced it out a little further and given her more. Since her baby teeth are still coming in I wasn't sure if it would be good to give her kibble yet. We go to see the vet for a follow up...

I recently rescued a kitten that appeared to be abandoned and barely moving.  She was very malnourished and had infections in her eyes and lungs.  Now 5 days later, she's got a little belly, her coat has improved, her eyes are wide open, and her purr is strong.  I've been trying to work with her...

I know that chances of finding a home for this little guy is slim, but it never hurts to try.  I'm trying to avoid taking him to a shelter or putting him outside.  So far I have had no success in finding this sweet cat a loving home. Pepper showed up on our back door last August with pretty...

We've pretty much determined that we won't be able to medicate him.  We can't really pick him up to give him his pill and if I start putting it in his food again, he just won't eat it.  More than anything his behavior is frustrating.  I was trying to wean him off his kibble and try moving him to...

Well, it seemed like he was better when we first brought him home from his stay at the vet, but that only lasted about 2-3 days with no incidents at all.  Then he started in on the growling, hissing, and attacking himself but on a milder scale.  In the last few months I have brought my godson to...

It's been several months since I've been on the site.  My cat Taz I believe has Feline Hyperesthesia.  It started out mild in January of 2013 with just some growling and hissing.  At the end of March, my cousin went into premature labor and we ended up watching their dog for a couple weeks while...

I tried cheese, he wouldn't touch it.  I've looked at some of the videos but I guess I'll have to see if there's something else.  I guess it looks like I'll have to force it down his throat and suffer whatever consequences.

My Taz was diagnosed with FHS and is currently taking Phenobarbitol and Gabapentin.  At first, I didn't have any problems geting his meds in him.  He would take his Pheno in a pill pocket and the Gaba was mixed with his wet food.  Now, he doesn't like the pill pockets so I have to squish it with...

I'm hesitant to use the drugs because of the FDA and potential side effects. I want the drugs to be the absolute last resort. Taz Mom

I’m at a loss and don’t know what else to do or try.  I took Taz to the vet last Saturday and they examined him.  I showed the vet the video I took and he was just as baffled as I was.  No one seems to have ever seen a cat behave that way.  When I asked about FHS, the vet had no clue what I was...

Well we're at the vet now so we'll see what they say. I haven't seen many. Up until yesterday I didn't see any and then I saw 3. It may not seem bad now, but I don't want it to get out of hand.

I was feeding him the Blue Longevity, I had picked it because it was grain free and a smaller kibble. However it was nearly all fish. I was advised that eliminating his dry food would be best and that it would be ok to take him off cold turkey. Before the change he would free feed on kibble...
