One of my foster litters was diagnosed with ringworm. They have been on oral medications and received a lime plus dip. Their spots are looking better. Question is...how much cleaning will be too little and/or too much? The shelter gave me a spray bottle of Accel to clean with. Is what I've read...

All 11 kittens have been adopted!! Including 1 by us! This was a back and heart breaking experience. But so amazingly heart warming and rewarding at the same time. So I decided to do it again! More fosters in the future for me.

We made the hard decision to assist Dasher over the Rainbow Bridge. His Mast Cell tumors exploded all over his poor body, including around his eyes. Nothing we were doing was making any difference in slowing the progression. So many people are very confused by his condition. Two vets and many...

Had a consultation with Dr. E (our vet). She is confused as well. He is too young for the malignant cancer, he is just a baby. She is hopeful that we can manage his skin tumors by finding the right combination of treatments. First step is to get the Mast Cell tumors under control while keeping...

Can I let the 9 week olds and the 12 weeks olds play together with supervision? They have lived in the kennels within feet of each other.

I picked up the pathology report and scheduled an appointment with my vet (Dr. E) for Monday afternoon. Though so far everyone says this is a weird case. The rescue's vet (Dr. L) says that she spoke with the pathologist. The pathologist says that the cancer started somewhere else in his body...

I'm going to pick up a copy of the report tomorrow and take it to our vet. Based on what I was told on the phone no long term treatment. May be that they are malignant and well spread. Know more details tomorrow. Weird part is we have an adult cat that was diagnosed with Mast Cell Tumors caused...

I received a call on Dasher's biopsy from the rescue. The results are Cutaneous Mast Cell Cancer. The vet says that cases she has seen with this have not gone well. That the cats become uncomfortable, in pain and degrade in health. She is recommending euthanasia. Vet is going to check with an...

Okay. I can definitely do 3.

I'm thinking my oldest litter may have grown to more food. This group has 6 11 week old kittens and 2 queens. Feeding twice a day, recommended amounts of 3oz. cans of wet food? I've got a 3 or 4 cup bowl of Babycat kibble that they get at the same time. I don't free feed anymore because if the...

They said hopefully by Friday.

Dasher' biopsy is tomorrow. Hopefully we will get some answers on how to help his sores/scabs get better. Been on antibiotics since Tuesday morning.no improvement, got worse. He has been on the limited ingredient dry kibble since Friday night. Looking at his spots today they are looking better...

The first vet (my regular) visit resulted in a round of prednisone. That diagnosis was probably flea allergy maybe food. Treat for fleas give a few days and if not showing improvement than change food. As the scabs were lingering on Monday (3 days into food change) the rescue had me take him to...

Saga continues. Dasher (the kitten with scabs) has been on antibiotics and ringworm medicine since Tuesday morning. As well as back on the Fancy Feast wet food and Babycat kibble. The scabs are now sores and he has a spot on each eyelid. He is scheduled for a biopsy on Monday. And I'm putting...

The little head cocked kitten amazes everyone when they see him now. Except being smaller then siblings no signs at all.

@Sarthur2 Thank you for your help. I am so glad that I found this site and have gotten such wonderful advice. This last experience would have been devasting and made me question fostering again if wasn't for this support and fact that the vet said he had started to show improvements in...

Today the seizures became very violent and very close together. He had 5 within 40 minutes. The decision was made to assist him over the rainbow bridge.

The vet has been checking his glucose levels when he is with them. And they have been better since started syringe feeding. Curious where the levels are at when he has seizure. Shot cocktail is B12, antibiotics and steroids. I've recorded two and shown her both.

Was feeling really good this morning. He was awake and meowing at me when I came to his bed. Started fighting the syringe then climbed in the bowl of food. After licking his paw I started dropping his food on the edge of my thumb and he ate 10mL by licking off my thumb. And pooped last night and...

To the vet we went this morning. They gave him a cocktail shot and fed him 23mL of watered down a/d. On the drive home he had another seizure and urinated. I've gotten him another 20mL in the last 5 hours. And will get another 10 before bed. My biggest concern is the seizures. He has had 3 that...
