My 8-year-old Siamese mix, Eve, was diagnosed with congestive heart failure last spring. We had been going to the vet a lot to try to remedy the vomiting issues that had cropped up over the winter- vomiting whole meals, sometimes after both meals of the day and with significant weight loss. It...

Hi, my cat Lily just had her second UTI and this time it didn't respond to the first antibiotic. When they tested her urine after the first antibiotic, she also had crystals that they didn't see or notice the first time, I'm not sure what type of crystals.I just picked up a pet fountain for her...

Hi! It's been a long time since I've been on here. I'm having huge problems with my cat Lily. She has a hot spot in front of one of her ears. If she's not wearing an e-collar she quickly scratches it bloody and proceeds to remove all the skin until I tackle her and put the collar back on...

Please Help Midwest Win a Shelter Makeover! Midwest Rabbit Rescue is a large no-kill rescue. They have a central shelter and foster homes for the rabbits, which are often rescued from kill shelters when their time is up. Midwest is in Michigan but helps out other areas as needed, including...

Hi all! I haven't shared any new pics for a while. My hubby took some awesome ones of me playing with the kittens this morning, so I thought I'd share them. Just don't mind me in my bathrobe. He didn't give me any warning. First, Lily: Warming up. Getting warmer Belly! And she...

Where can I get capsules of L-Lysine, instead of the tablets that need to be crushed? It sounds like it would be easier to just open up a capsule.

Help! Poor Lily is very staticy. Eve doesn't have a problem, neither do the rabbits, but Lily's been getting shocked a lot when she touches my face. Problem is that she loves to rub her face on mine and she gets upset because she thinks I'm hurting her on purpose. The heat is on but the...

I've been researching foods as it looks like I'll have to switch due to Lily's gas problems. I'm currently feeding Lily Chicken Soup dry and canned. Eve gets an extra meal where she gets all the other stuff left over in my cupboards. California Natural Chicken and Rice looks promising with...

I'm looking for pictures of Orientals or Siamese, or mixes with that type of body shape. I'd really like pictures from above the cat where you can see their waist compared to their hips and stomach. And they should be at about their correct weight, not chubby or too skinny.I'm trying to figure...

I'm having some problems with my 7 month old kitten Lily. I took her to the vet on Friday but I'm not sure how much I can trust her advice on food because she said she really likes Iams and Science Diet is her other favorite. And she prefers dry food. Lily has been having gas problems. It...

I was just at the petstore getting more toys for my kittens, and I have a few questions about which toys are safe. The first question is feathers. Is it okay for them to have toys like catnip mice that have feathers on them? I've read books that say to always take the feathers off, but I...

We've had our new kittens for about two months now, and it seems like my hubby is developing allergies to them. He's never lived with cats before so we did not know that this would happen. He is going to the docter this week for better allergy meds as he gets bad headaches from Claritin. I'm...

I have two spayed female kittens, one about 6 months and the other about 4. Yesterday I found that one is spraying urine on the walls in their "safe room." It's not peeing on the floor, it's little droplets on the wall. I had to use a black light to find the source of the smell. I think this...

Hi all! I just got back from shopping and I thought I'd share something with you. I was at Hobby Lobby to pick up some bunny toys (LOL! What else would I go there for?). I also found some great cat toys too! If you check out the area with the dried flower bouquet stuff, you can find big...

I picked up some new toys for the kittens today. Lily is really obsessed over one- a glittery pom pom ball. As soon as she saw it, she picked it up and ran away to her "safe corner" where she's been chewing it and batting it around for an hour now. In the middle of her normal nap time. And...

Sigh. Another chapter in my kittens' health. This is the third Monday in a row where I've had to call them about another problem. At first we though Lily (~5 months old) was getting chubby and I was going to limit the dry food. But then we noticed that she's only fat in the belly and it looks...

I brought my kitten Eve in to the vets yesterday. She was treated for ear mites last week (Ivermectin) but was still scratching and had also developed a URI. The vet cleaned her ears out with a liquid cleaner and swabs, and OMG was there a lot of mite crud in her ears! Her right ear was...

Hope this is in the right spot! I'm looking for yummy treats to use for training our cats. I have Pounce, which Lily eats and Eve licks. Eve will sometimes eat her treat if Lily is about to steal it. They like them but not a whole lot. Eve tends to lick all of her food. She licks the gravy...

I'm going to be building one, possibly two scratching posts for my kittens. I'll be using 2x4s that are at least a little higher than the arms of my sofa, because they like to climb those. I've never done this before so I have some questions. 1. How big should the base be and what type of...

Hi! I'm pretty new here. I got two kittens from the shelter for a foster-to-adopt program so we could test them with our rabbits before we committed. Everyone is behaving pretty well so far, so we're signing the full adoption papers on Monday. Hooray! They are not littermates but they're...
