Spif was adopted the end of October and had smelly, soft (sometimes drippy mud) poo. After a second negative parasite test, and another dose of wormer, and getting psyllium husk and fortiflora probiotic there has been only a slight improvement. His diet is fancy feast pates, and purina one...
Fudge was a feral kitten around 3 months old when he was trapped. He looks like a seal point siamese. I fostered he and his sister, and they were in a crate until they became used to me, and my other cats. Sister got adopted and was more sociable than Fudge from the beginning. It has been 4...
My Violet is so fat, and she is a small framed girl. Recently, we had to go to the ER and I spent 1600 dollars because she was so constipated she needed numerous overnight enemas to get her unblocked.
She is constantly crying for food, and I feed her separate from the other cats so she stays...
I am so crushed. He was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma last month. He is 16. The steroids increased his appetite and he was doing well until he started sneezing everytime he would go to eat. allergy meds dont work, he is barely eating, and I know he is not happy. I cant do this. I love him...
My 14 year old baby has early stages kidney disease. I give him appetite stimulants every few days when he seems disinterested and I gave him fluids. After shoving pills down his throat and poking him he eats and goes behind a couch and stays there all day till it is time to eat. The weather is...
My cat has a condition where the tooth gets reabsorbed into the gum. It is painful for the cat. I recently had a dental and he had a big rooted tooth removed due to this condition. I took him back 6 months later and he has another one developing (you can tell because there is a big spot on the...
It's been 10 days now, Pansy had diarea, I took him to the vet, got bloodwork started and antibiotic, got stool checked the next day, has toxoplasmosis in his stool. Not sure how he got it, the other 4 cats are fine, although the newest had soft stool while in the crate, was treated and had firm...
Pansy threw up watery pink (blood) liquid. That was last sunday. Has diarea and stopped eating much. a few bites and a lot of water. we went to the vet thursday where he had bloodwork, subcutaneous fluid, shot of b-12, shot of penicillan. He perked up a little, but not much, still had diarea, no...
I am at a loss and all the introduction steps just don't seem to fit when you have the cat in a large dog crate. He has been here a month, he moved from the basement to a crate last week. He gets to roam while my other 4 cats are in a room, and then he goes in the crate and they have the house...
Is it possible that some cats just will not get along with others, ever, in fact always attack?
I brought in a stray and have been switching rooms etc. with my other 4 like you are supposed to do. the door didn't shut tightly and my one cat came down to the basement and the stray ran up the...
Brought in a stray cat, had him neutered, rabies, combo tested, revolution given, distemper. Trying to incorporate him into my household of 4 cats, until a furever home can be found.
He loses tiny tufts of hair, and attached to them is a hunk of white skin. At first I thought maybe it was...
I brought in a stray, had him neutered etc. with the local TNR group, he is 3.5 years old and is not feral. date was 12/28/15 today is 1/1 so it is day 4 or 5.
I feel bad for him because I ruined his life in a sense. Now he is in the basement all alone, and I think bored to death, although he...
I have been feeing an outdoor kitty for the past few weeks. I can trap him and have him neutered, fip tested, flea medicated,rabies, and distemper shot. (planning on doing that next week if he cooperates.) After that I intend to bring him in and integrate him with my other 4 cats, slowly. He...
I am fostering Violet because she was so shy and timid she would not leave her bed at the shelter, or her crate at the other fosters house (too much commotion, dogs, cats, kids). She was very timid at first, but now she is a happy, playful kitty. Still hides if anyone strange is in the house...
I have three cats, 2 adult males 7 and 8, a newly acquiired female here a year, around a year and a half.
Question, I was at the shelter and saw a baby 8 weeks old Kitten that I loved and want to bring home.
How bad do you think the fireworks will be? Do you think this kitten will be in danger...
started fostering mommy and 5 kitties last sunday. We are all getting settled in, but I am not sure how much to feed. they are always hungry! mom feeds them a lot, and so do I. I was late one morning and they chewed into the bag of kitty kibble.
This is ok, except I want to go away overnight...
I am a foster for the local spca. I picked up a mommy cat, and 4 rweek old kitties that were combo tested at my request, so I am not bringing anything home to my indoor only cats. Well, when I got there, an extra, not tested kitty was with them, that apparently doesn't have a mommy, and this one...
I am going to foster three kitties, around 5 weeks, I am guessing, was going to take mommy cat too, but they don't think she will allow them to combo test her, which is what i want before I bring her in b ecause I have three cats.
Then I was thinking, taking the kittens without the mom tested...
Spike had a dental, slow coming out of anesthesia, and a possible ear infection from the vets cleaning his ears while under.
He is doing better now, still off balance, but I am wondering about the vets treatment.
She told me they gave him an injection of Baytril. I looked it up for side...
