Thanks!  I started fostering 2 tuxedo kittens (not related, but bonded) and ended up adopting both!  :) Those are great ideas!  I'll try them all!  Thanks!  He's 4 months old, so we have a while to go.  I haven't found his teeth yet!  The other girl is about 6 months old, and she never had any...

I have a kitten that is going through a major teething phase.  I've never had a kitten have it this bad before. He chews on our fingers, clothes, cords, shoes, etc.  It's like I have a puppy.  At night, he will wake us up by chewing on our fingers, my hair or biting on my nose. I got a Petstages...

I recently lost a cat to FIP, so I know how this feels. Keep him comfortable, warm and love on him. I had to take out a care credit to be able to afford the tests. I just felt it best to know for sure. You'll know when it's time.

How did the vet visit go? You said that he has a stuffy nose. That may be why he isn't eating. Some cars won't eat it they can't smell it. Skinny with swollen abdomen could also be due to round worms?

Is there anyway to get Ponazuril without a prescription? I'm fostering 2 kittens that has coccidia and the rescue only has Albon for this, along with Clindrops as an antibiotic. We've been treating for a week and I don't see any improvement. I'm curious if I can just get my hands on ponazuril to...

Yes, can feel them And now I can see them - white stitches. So today I told the same thing to the rescue coordinator and she immediately said, "she has absorbing stitches." But I asked her for the kitten's paper work just to have in case. She sent them to me. It shows that the kitten was...

Im piggy-backing on the same subject. I'm fostering 2 kittens that was given dewormer the day I got them. I don't know what meds they used. The next few days, there were a few round worms in the litter box but that was it. They are also being treated for coccidia and have some diarrhea related...

I lost a kitten to FIP. We kept hoping that it wasn't FIP. It wasn't until his abdomen expanded overnight and i took him back to the vet. She did an ultrasound, saw many pockets of fluid, extracted it and it was yellow. She put some on her fingers to show me how syrup-like it is. She said it's...

I'm so so so sorry that you are going through this. I lost a 4 month old kitten to FIP. I only had him a month and I was caring for him around the clock for 3 out of those 4 weeks. We actually had to have a feeding tube inserted into the side of his neck and I had to feed food, water and...

I'm fostering a couple rescue kittens. The 5-month old female was surrendered and I was told she was spayed. I'm cuddling with her and I start to rub her belly and I feel like nylon stitches through her fur, sitting on top of her skin. I told my husband we got to get her to a vet to have these...

Thank you for your kind words.  Louie passed away at noon today.  It got to be too much.  Late last night, he started loosing control of his limps and was drooling a lot.  He wouldn't get up to pee, but would just pee and lay in it.   It's been so hard to watch him like this.  So this morning...

Thank you JennyR.  Louie did pass away at noon today.  Late last night, he started drooling quite a bit and started loosing control of his limbs.  We decided it was time, so we were going to find a vet that was open on a Sunday morning. This morning, I noticed that he didn't move all night and...

It seemed like fluid has filled up his abdomen and stretched it into a bowling ball just over a 24 hour period. Today, the vet did an ultrasound and found the fluid pockets. She did an aspiration and it came up to be the sticky yellow fluid, which is very characteristic of FIP.  We are waiting...

UPDATE - I'm devastated to say Louie most likely has FIP.  Yesterday, his abdomen got really bloated and it got worse over the day. He was looking very uncomfortable last night, so we skipped the last feeding.  I was worried that his digestive system was backed up and that he needed a laxative...
