    Need advice, please! Just took in a stray - adult female only 5 pounds - need a solution to feeding

    Thank you all for such good advice!  Yes, I have done the scent exchange and I have fed them together with a door separating them.  Last night I let Sugar roam the living room and kitchen - the other two cats saw her and ran away and hid for about 2 hours.  After I put Sugar back in her room...

    Need advice, please! Just took in a stray - adult female only 5 pounds - need a solution to feeding

    Thank you so much for your kind words and quick reply!  I was wondering if I should just go ahead and let Sugar out to roam the house with the other cats out, too.  Even though Sugar chased the other cats and was hissing, she didn't do any damage whatsoever to either one of them.  OF course I...

    Need advice, please! Just took in a stray - adult female only 5 pounds - need a solution to feeding

    I have two cats (recently lost my 14 year-old Himi Merlin to lung cancer after an 8 month battle - I miss him terribly).  I was so depressed and then a beautiful little stray showed up at my door. So now I have three cats!   This stray is just precious, but very small.  We took her to the vet...

    Help! I have a sick Bengal cat.`

    I am happy to report that our Bengal is almost at 100%. She was, indeed, extremely dehydrated and I admitted her to the animal hospital for two nights. She had a severe bacterial infection and was given antibiotics and fluids via an IV. Thank you all, again, for being so caring.

    Help! I have a sick Bengal cat.`

    The vet wasn't absolutely sure it is toxo. However, our Bengal is refusing to eat and drink and is lethargic. Apparently, she misses Callie, which caused her to become depressed and then it was time for her yearly shots which weakened her immune system. Thank you all so much for caring. I...

    Why do you think this? Shouldn't we try to give the antibiotics time to work?

    Help! I have a sick Bengal cat.`

    We just lost a family cat, Callie, to kidney failure (probably cancer). The Bengal (female) that we have has since become depressed. Two days ago, she started to refuse to eat and so I took her to our vet. She is on antibiotics for possible Toxoplasmosis. We have had to force feed her and...

    Help! I need advice regarding my sick cat.

    I am VERY happy to report that my baby boy, Merlin, is doing wonderfully!!! I gave him another round of antibiotics with anti-nausea medicine so he would keep it down - but he still wasn't doing very well - he still hacked up hairballs at least twice a day and he was itching all over. His skin...

    Help! I need advice regarding my sick cat.

    Yes, blood tests have been run - they show high liver values (hepatitis). He was doing well on the venison, but then he started to throw up after eating it, so I tried rabbit - he wouldn't eat it. I currently am trying Eukanuba's lamb and rice. He seems to be okay with it so far, but he is...

    Help! I need advice regarding my sick cat.

    My precious 7-year old male Himalayan (Merlin) has been diagnosed with bacterial hepatitis for the 2nd time. He is on antibiotics and this is helping. However, he has food allergies and I don't know what food to feed him. He won't eat canned low allergen food and the dry Z/D low allergen food...
