I agree with the other posters about the separation and the vet and all, and I think you were awesome to take the baby in!! I think that sometimes, as strays, they don't sleep as much as they should, given that outside, they are always "on the alert" for danger, and can never get that deep...

Thanks all, for your good thoughts!! Everything is great! She is perfectly fine and the bone (it WAS a bone) that is sticking out is just her STERNUM!!! (Catsallover, was this what happened to your friend?). The young doctor said she had never seen it, and the older doctor (who I just love)...

Thanks all. I am going to call the vet as soon as they open. It's so WEIRD though.....it literally feels pointy, like a bone, like a rib or something. I HATE waiting for the vet to open....sigh.......I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for the good thoughts!

Hey guys - I am worried about Spice. I just got home from leaving her for the weekend and she's developed a protrusion on her abdomen. This was not here before I left, as I pick her up about 100 times a day and would have noticed it....... Some background: She's 8 months, was spayed about...

One more thing I should have mentioned. She's in a large dog crate (one for a Lab). So, she's not squished or anything.

Thanks guys! I don't want to disagree with you, as you obviously have lots of experience, but she seems to be calming down a bit; shouldn't I wait? She has been eating and drinking, no more cage rattling, and after the little hiss when I put my hand in, she has even let me stroke her, and...

Well, I did it! It took two of us, but Sadie is now safe in a crate, with her toys and blankets. She is, however, miserable. She howls when you leave the room, is quiet when you sit in the room, and hisses when I come too close. When I first put her in, she went insane, crashing her head and...

Thanks everyone, for your suggestions and support. I will try, firstly, using the carrier trick and if that doesn't work, I'll try the trap. She is so quick and feisty; even trying to trap her in a ROOM is going to be a huge challenge. And she's so stubborn. Still, I shall persevere! And I...

Sadie is a feral cat who was born in the wild. I would guess her to be around 6 months old. She spent the early part of her life living under a woodpile in my backyard. For many reasons (coyotes, busy street, getting pregnant, and just because she is SO DARN cute!!), I wanted to take her in...

Hi! I'm new and this is a wonderful site! I've read so many helpful posts. I have a question and am not sure if anyone's had this problem before. My calico female (almost 1) appeared to have a bit of a swollen lower lip the other day. Her lip is black and we could "see" it more than usual...
