Thanx Susan, I will contact ICARE. I am truly thankfull to Kitty connection for her (is only one lady) help with Norman and she is going to help the other guy too. On top of everything else, he has a URI! Least Forgotten Felines treated his earmites and fleas while he was at the clinic...

Well, I took Norman (friend named him, now I will have to keep the bathroom door closed when I take a shower...) to the vet. Both rear hips are dislocated and he has a healing break in one of the legs near his hip. He is on Metacam (meloxacam) and is doing great as long as he does not move...

What else ya gonna do? I am really upset about getting this guy 'cause I know there will be more and how am I gonna help them? I would "give my eye teeth" to find out who is injuring and dumping these guys. Least they are being dumped in a place where someone will at least try to help them...

Did join the group a couple days ago. So far no one has replied to my post or even acknowledged the new member. Lots about the pet limit laws and microchipping.

Should anybody care (seems no one is reading this thread), the boy goes in on Tuesday for a check up. Last night I was petting him and I guess he moved wrong 'cause he growled and hissed and bit me. It was obvious that he was in pa9in for about 1/2 hour after that too. Lucinda

It is a wonderful/heart breaking thing taking care of feral/wild cats. As my friend says, "we all have little cat shaped cookie cutter holes in our hearts for every one we lose or just find a new home for" My first real colony was at a fish packing plant that closed down. 75 cats! All of the...

Ya know, the main reason I chose to be in this group oh so many years ago was because they had a no kill policy and did everything they could to help the injured ones. I will check out the feral cat group, thanx.

I have been taking care of several colony's for many years. Most of them I managed to get the people where they are located at to take care of them. The man who had been taking care of one of them for 5 years got a new job and I am back taking care of it. Of course, some new cats had shown...

There are very few 'Zoonetic" diseases (diseases transferable from one species to another) that we can get from cats, but bites can become infected so need to be treated right away. I have been bitten many times and never went to the doctor and as you can tell, I am still here to greet another...

I do feral cat rescue and the vet we work with always uses Advantage on kittens that have lots of fleas. The kittens always do just fine, been useing it for years. Just be sure to use only one or two drops as Kat Kisses said. It is always a good thing to ask your own vet for advice on these...

"One of the volunteers at the HS was talking about me behind my back & said that she thinks I am getting Damita & Chico sick on purpose." She sounds like a trouble maker to me. Maybe she is jealous of you? Anyway, don't let it bother you as obviously you are not making them sick as bunches of...

Unfortunatly, some vets do not keep up with the latest info, just like some human doctors dont keep up either. I don't know how many doses it would take to really hurt her canned pumpkin works well (told to me by one of my vets). The cat loved it too! I have two cats now that have diarreah...

I know that your vet told you to use it, but EVERY vet that I have seen says DO NOT use it. Pepto Bismol: ACTIVE INGREDIENT per Tablespoon: Bismuth Subsalicylate (262 mg). (Total salicylate 130 mg). INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Benzoic Acid, Flavor, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Methylcellulose, Red...

I read an article by an allergest that says washing the cat once a month in distilled water will help. I have talked to several people that say it does help tho when their allergies are bad they wash the cat more often. I guess the distilled water gets rid of the dander better than regular...

Well, she is telling you that she is upset about something that you have done or changed. They can't get us to understand their language, so they do the thing that they KNOW will get our attention and that we will not like. Think hard about what may have changed. Also, did you change the...

Stove pellets are great as long as you make sure that you do not get the treated ones. Prob. have to just read the bag as I can not find any reference to which ones are treated. I have only found reference to the face that they are becoming scarce due to more people using them and more things...

Thank you Lionessrampant! It is true that people forget that just because the ingredients READ the same does not mean that they ARE the same! McDonalds puts flavour inhancers in their food (along with massive amounts of salt) so their 1/4# hamburger is not the same as your home cooked 1/4#...

I am so sorry for Tiger. I do hope he gets better, but as others have said, if there is pain involved, than I would send him to the bridge where he can be happy and free of all this terribleness.

I forgot to put my guess. I thought maybe they were stupid enough to leave their Basenji home alone OR just got a PitBull puppy! also, I worked at a computer shop with a guy who was a retired electrician and he was the one who told me about the surge protectors not protecting if it is a really...

Um, no. The operation may be painless because the critter is out, but a lot of times they do not give pain meds 'cause they think it will interfre with the findings. They certainly do not give bunnies pain meds to test cosmetics in their eyes.
