Hoping someone out there might know of brands I may have missed, as it seems most drieds have one or the other. Have one cat that doesn't tolerate egg and the other corn so finding a happy medium for both would be nice! The did not do well on the Natural Balance LID, and they are on Merrick LID...

We found out this year that one of our 8 year olds is FIV positive. We have had him since he was 5 weeks old and neither the shelter we got him from or the private vet he was neutered at bothered to test him. His testing status went unnoticed, since he had always been the slim healthy one in the...

We've been dealing with discharge and discomfort in our last bottle baby since the end of August when she turned a year old. She has been spayed in April. Took two exams before they believed me about where the discharge was from, the first doc thought it was an anal gland leak. So far we have...

It's looking very likely that one of our 9 year olds has hyperthyroidism. We had to hospitalise her last week for 4 days with severe dehydration and constipation that was due to an uncommon bladder infection. Due to her age and overall health they checked a T4 upon admittance and it came back in...

So this is a weird one, but wondering if anyone has been through something similar. Several years ago one of our cats had a tail that overnight went from normal to where it would go up two inches from it's rear, and almost like a kink at that point it turned 90 degrees and the rest of it would...

We took in a momma and two kittens - neighbors found them playing in the street and since we're the crazy cat people and they don't care so much for cats,, they came to get us before the kittens got hit. Mom is young, under a year. Kittens are ?? The little girl looks to be around 9 weeks but...

We started using heavy ceramic dog dishes for our cats' water several years ago after we couldn't break a few of them of the habit of using the cat sized dishes as hockey pucks, or of pulling the metal bowls all over the kitchen just for fun. This worked beautifully - up until about two months...

So.... apparently my 11 and a half year old cat has this and we're just finding out about it now... From the research I've been doing it seems like it should have been something that was debilitating from a young age, but he's been a somewhat normal cat up until a few months ago when he started...

So...... I'm normally the one dispensing advice on beahviour, but this one has me completely confused.  History: 2-3 month old kitten gets dropped at the shelter. She's shy and reclusive and wasn't doing so well being fostered in the staff offices, so my husband brings her home to me. I take...

So, the whole laundry list of health problems isn't enough. Noooooo. Now she has to have ringworm to freaking boot!!!!! Sigh. We've had her running around so now the other foster kitten and the rest of the cats in the house have been exposed, too.... Stupid stupid stupid... What I thought was...

The towel in her carrier was wet three mornings in a row, so we put a litterbox in three days ago and bingo! She's been using it faithfully to pee ever since. We've tried stimulating her a few times since with no results, so can I treat her as litterbox trained and finally stop the rubbing? ...

We took in a rescue bottle baby from the shelter earlier this week. She's seen the vet three times now for other issues (maggots in the ear, abscess under ear, severe ear infection, severe eye infections - she may be blind, not pooping). The antibiotics are working and she's looking and feeling...

Looking for some ideas on what else I could be doing around the house, and if there's anything I could be talking to the vet about. I'm getting desperate as she hasn't breathed normally in nearly 3 months now. :( She's miserable, I'm a wreck, and I just want her to feel better! Puff turned 5...

Clio was born in April of 2007. In November of 2008 she stopped eating and lost half her body weight. We put her on an allergy diet for 4 weeks along with Medicam for the inflammation to see if it was a food reaction, but when she showed no improvement we scheduled a biopsy. The results showed...

Hi All! Last time I was on I was complaining about two bottle babies who were being pains. They finally weaned, grew up into bigger pains , and were finally adopted! However, about a month and half after I first got them, their brother showed up! He was a MESS!!!!! One eye hanging out, a pound...

I'm going nuts. We have two bottle babies - their mother was hit by a car and my hubby's ex-wife is a dip and couldn't figure out how to feed them. They were about 12 days old when we got them, and we've had them for 18 days now, so they are at LEAST 4 weeks old. Been bottle feeding them every 6...

Okay.... this is a new one by us..... We've been having some inappropriate urination and defecation for about the last year. We have a lot of cats (a lot) and we know that some cats just can't handle being in a multi-cat environment. We've rehomed two cats so far and are finding a home for a...

I'm glad I found this forum! My smallest female, Pretty Girl, had been acting strange since going in to the vet for her yearly exam and rabies shot. When she seemed to have lost most of her appetite, I wasn't overly worried. She's a small cat, not even 9 pounds, and though she was looking thin...

Hey Y'all! I just had a quick question. Three out of my seven cats have what the vet believes is bacterial "pink eye". He told me that I should be seeing a huge difference in 24 hours once they started Terramycin drops - and that was 24 hours ago. Their eyes aren't any worse, but they don't...

Hello! I'm new and I have a question. I'm fostering a litter of kittens for my local shelter. This is my first time having kittens younger than 4 months, and I'm not sure what to do. They're so cute, but so little. They're all chowing down on solid kitten food, and only three will eat canned...
