    Stenotic Nares? Elongated Soft Palate? Nasal Polyps?

    A little backstory: My cat Dendi has always had noisy breathing ( during inhalation only) since he was born. I rescued him, along with his momma, and 6 brothers, and sisters from a bush almost two years ago now. He has been fixed/vaccinated, and tested for felv/fiv and all that. All were...

    Sneezing

    I haven't started using any new cleaning products, or anything. I wonder if it could be a possible food allergy? I always feed him blue buffalo wilderness salmon, or chicken flavor, but I got the duck flavor for the first time about a week ago. He's still been sneezing today about the same as...

    Sneezing

    My cat Harlow started sneezing today, and I have no idea why. He's been doing it all day, but he's acting normal other than that. His vet is closed today so if he hasn't stopped sneezing by Monday I'm going to take him in. Any idea what could be causing him to sneeze? He's indoor only, and six...

    Using Litter Pellets After Neutering

    Thank you for letting me know! I wasn't sure If I had to use the pellets, but that's what some people told me to do. I'm going to go ahead, and put their normal litter back in the morning then because my other cat isn't happy about the pellets at all. I'll just make sure the site stay's clean...

    I just had two of my kitty's neutered on the 21st (I have three kittys) , and I switched their litter from the usual clumping litter to pellet litter to avoid infection at the incision site, but I was wondering how long I should wait before switching back to their normal litter? I'm having...

    Stray Cat Not Eating, But Still Drinking Water.

    I'm going to take him to the vet first thing in the morning. I can't afford any expensive testing, but I'm going to see what they can do. Hopefully it's just a virus, and they can get him on antibiotics. I will update on what happens tomorrow;)

    Stray Cat Not Eating, But Still Drinking Water.

    I have been feeding a stray kitty (snickers) for about 5 months, and about two day's ago i noticed he was much less active, and turning down food. I also think he threw up after attempting to eat today. He is still drinking plenty of water, and moving about, but I cant get him to take food. I...

    Need Advise: Sick Stray

    I take care of a lot of my neighborhood stray/ferals, and two days ago a kitty showed up that appeared sick. She let me get close enough to her to pet her, and I can see that her bottom half is soaked in urine, and when I give her soft canned food she appears to have a hard time eating it. I...

    Shed Ideas For Neighbourhood Strays

    Hi there. I have 10 feral, and stray kitties I care for, and what I do is just get two Rubbermaid tubs. I use the 30 gallon and the 45 gallon I think. It cost about 20$ per shelter. You line the bottom of the bigger tub with straw (try to use straw instead of hay if you can because hay will...

    Is It Illegal To Let Ferals Live In Your Yard?

    I live in Dallas Texas, and I have about 10 "feral" cats that come around to eat, and about 4 of them never really leave my backyard. I also have homemade cat shelters to keep them warm in my backyard. I haven't had any issues, but I'm just curious if I could get in trouble for feeding, and...

    Does Anyone Know Of Any Rescue Groups In The Dallas Area? (homeless Kittys In My Yard)

    Thank you :):) I thought about giving the no kill shelters another try around October/November because like you said it's "kitten season" because that's what all of the rescue groups have told me as well. I don't really have any family other than my mom, and she has three very large dogs so...

    Does Anyone Know Of Any Rescue Groups In The Dallas Area? (homeless Kittys In My Yard)

    Here's the story, I moved to a house from an apartment about three years ago. When I first moved in I noticed a black cat hanging out in the back yard so I started to feed him. He was completely feral, and would hiss at me when I fed him every single time for the 8 months he was with me (he...

    High Respiratory Rate In Kitten

    I would ask your vet if she could possibly have lung worms. My cat had rapid breathing/wheezing and my vet gave him medication for lung worms, and a antibiotic which seemed to help his issue, but he also has mild feline asthma. A regular de-wormer wont kill lung worms. My cat was prescribed...

    Help With Hairballs

    I had the same problem with my medium haired cat. I just make sure that I brush him thoroughly a couple times a day, and that has helped improve the problem. I also feed him Nutri-Vet salmon flavored hairball gel he likes the taste of it :)

    Xiphoid Process?

    I just wanted to update my post in case anyone comes across it who is having a similar situation. I took my cat to the vet for x-rays, and turns out he does have a broken xiphoid process (the bone directly below the sternum). How he managed to pull that off is beyond me, he is strictly indoors...
