    Injection site sarcomas

    Hey there! The latest topic in my house is this injection site sarcoma thing. I learned about this before my new kittens so the vet Im using for them seems to be aware of it is using the purevax rabies etc. My other vet that I use for my older cats however, I am not sure. They seemed up to date...

    Kitten small lump under skin.

    Hey guys! I have yet another issue with one of my kittens. If it wasn't bad enough that over the last several weeks we dealt with URIs, "ringworm", roundworms and fleas. Well we seemed so close to being better and tonight while playing with one I found a small(maybe blueberry size) round lump...

    How long until safe after roundworm treatments?

    Thanks! I know now that they are everywhere and I hate knowing but I certainly will be more cautious after this. 😣 My issue is the thought of them walking through their litterpan/playing in it as kittens tend to do and then walking all over my belongings. I guess thats why a bathroom or empty...

    Cat peeing on babys stuff.

    A friend of mine reached out to me for help because her 2 year old cat started going outside the litterbox as soon as they brought their new baby home a few months ago. He poops outside the box and he pees all over the baby's clothes, toys, car seat etc. All his stuff. She also adopted a second...

    How long until safe after roundworm treatments?

    Hey guys, I rescued two kittens that ive had for about 2 months. At 9 weeks we gave revolution dose and the next day saw one dead roundworm pass. I was under the impression that revolution is an effective dewormer on its own and am honestly getting confused. Well when I mentioned this to the vet...

    Weight/muscle Tone Loss In Younger Cat.

    I am not sure how paranoid I am being as we've had a lot of "bad luck" in the health in some of mine and my families cats over the last year but about a month ago (around the time one of my other cats was diagnosed with diabetes), my 5 year old bottle-fed boy who I've had since a day old and had...

    Difficulty With Rescue Kitten And Social Behavior With Older Cats.

    We are trying to locate a cat behavioral specialist in harford county, maryland. We absolutely would foster him in a home with no other pets but we do not know a single person who is a cat lover that doesn't already have cats. I had contacted a few rescues/no kills and they said they were full...

    Wet Food For Cats That Refuse To Eat Wet Food?

    I have tried to transition my cats to wet food a few times and two will eat it usually but one always refuses. Doesnt matter the type or brand or texture, he sniffs it and walks away like its not even food. Same reaction with mixing it together. This particular cat will actually try to steal...

    Difficulty With Rescue Kitten And Social Behavior With Older Cats.

    Another update on our problem kitty. The vet has him on the highest dose of Prozac and it hasn't made much of a difference. His problem behavior (bullying and challenging other cats and humans) seems to be a *little*bit less frequent but he still does it fairly often. We know it all takes time...

The pheromone and holistic remedies wasn't working and he was getting in alterations with the older cats and dominant/outgoing cats. We tried the taking him to the vet thing and they put him on an...

    Difficulty With Rescue Kitten And Social Behavior With Older Cats.

    Hi, around memorial day I saved an older kitten (vet guessed around 8 months at the time) from being killed by neighborhood foxes. The foxes had a litter of kits who were at hunting age and I came outside one night because of some terrible screams to find all 5 foxes in my yard trying to kill...

    Can Feel Spine On Overweight Cat. Normal?

    Thanks we are going to need good vibes. Ultrasound results came back and everything with his liver area didn't raise any red flags other than the lipidosis. His kidneys are a little off (some crystallization), so we definitely have to keep an eye on that. More blood work in a week. Hope I can...
