    Help me identify this breed please?

    I'd guess birman too, but that's definately an uneducated guess. Its just that I am in your same boat. I adopted a kittie from a shelter that looks just like yours only her points are more of a charcoal/dk. brown. Her 4 feet aren't all white (I think that's a breed standard), but she has...

    Kitty Depressed? Not Eating, Vomit

    If you have read my posting in the Health section, you would know that Hootie, my siamese boy of 7 years has been at the vets for about 4 days for vomitting, not eating, etc. Never quite narrowed down the problem, but he suspects it could have been a bug or plant he ate (No more indoor plants...

    Kitty Depressed? Not Eating, Vomit

    Hootie is home!!!!!!!!! He has to go back daily for his meds, but that's a quick stop in. He was eating last night and drinking so I think we are good! We are having an issue with the new kitty and Hootie's arrival home, but I think I'll ask about that in the behavior section. New kittty...

    Kitty Depressed? Not Eating, Vomit

    Hootie is doing better. Thank you to each of you for showing concern and all of the help. He has been eating on his own and drinking water, but they say he still doesn't drink enough yet. He is staying for the rest of today and hopefully I will pick him up tonight. Thank you thank you for...

    Kitty Depressed? Not Eating, Vomit

    Hootie was given a pill that was very bitter and was most likely the cause of the foaming. He is still at our vets and being force fed. I should hear something again today, but he will probably have to stay for a while. We will discuss the next course of action after we get him over this hump...

    Kitty Depressed? Not Eating, Vomit

    I haven't asked him about that. Hootie was not able to come home last night. I went to pick him up and we didn't make it out the door before he threw up all the food they had forced that day and his meds again. The doctor is suggesting a second opinion and maybe taking him to Texas A&M. He...

    Kitty Depressed? Not Eating, Vomit

    Hootie had a very liquidy stool with mucus and a little blood on top last night. I called the vet and he said for me to bring him in early this morning while they were in surgery and they'll get him taken care of for today. They will put him back on IV, get his medications in (and hopefully...

    Kitty Depressed? Not Eating, Vomit

    Hootie is back from the vet. The blood work showed an infection and low potassium (probably from vomitting). They gave me 2 pills to give him and he immediately threw them up...........................I can't win! He was foaming at the mouth. The tech said its from one of the meds that...

    Kitty Depressed? Not Eating, Vomit

    He is at the vet's now and is on a drip IV. He is dehydrated. Blood work is being run so we'll see. He also asked if he'd nibbled on any houseplants. I only have 3 plants and he's never touched them, but maybe one of the other kitties showed him the fun? I see no evidence - no mess, no torn...

    Kitty Depressed? Not Eating, Vomit

    I don't know when he ate last. I leave out free choice food. I see the new little one eating from her bowl, but Hootie usually eats when the kids aren't around. Until I started to worry about the vomitting being more than just a hairball that wasn't surfacing, I wasn't really looking to see...

    Kitty Depressed? Not Eating, Vomit

    I will take him back today. I did bring them both in at the same time and I asked the vet if he thought that Hootie caught something from Gidget. He didn't think so at that time. He mentioned blood tests if this med didn't do the trick. Should I do that? We just went through $400 of tests...

    Kitty Depressed? Not Eating, Vomit

    Please help!!!!!!! I think that we've started a downward spiral that started with the best on intensions. I have a 7 year old Siamese, Hootie. He was the only cat until a month and a half ago when a pitiful stray came to our door (a little girl said that he lived under her shed.) Long story...
