Is there any way to socialize a 7 year old daschund with 7 month old kitties? This is driving me nuts. I hate to keep the dog crated all the time because of the dog and today I was holding hime to see what would happen and they sniffed noses and he snapped at the cat, not touching but...

HELP!!! My kitties have worms again!!! I cannot get this worm thing under control. We have been tested and treated by the vet at least 5 times now and cannot get rid of them. What is necessary to be worm-free? We did the gooie yellow stuff in the syringe, the pills, shot, and each time...

My kitties have worms again. It is the one that looks like rice, round worms, right? Anyway we have been to the vet for a shot and oral meds. In the beginning we had tape worms and round worms. Then went back for the second oral treatment and I thought we were done. I saw them again...

I have searched the forums and did not find much on this subject. But what is the general thought on using Tea Tree oil for flea control? I have always used Zodiac one spot on my dog and that worked really well and now am using it on my kittens. But if tea tree oil is better I would prefer to...

I have given my babies the first distemper and wormed them. Now we go next week for distemper #2. I know they will tell me, but when do we get distemper #3? Is it true that I am in essence wasting my money on feline leukemia as I have only indoor cats and I have no intention of them ever being...

I know I have read on here that if a cat has worms the stools will smell awful. Well I have 2 kittens and am a this point just using clay litter. They did have worms and we would pick the litter box daily to keep down the odor. Now that they have been to the vet and got the yellow thick stuff...

I know this is discussed on a regular basis, but I am trying to get my babies on good quality food. They came to me on special kitty, then I moved them to Whiska's kitten, on to Purina kitten chow, and then to Iams. Now today I purchases Eukanuba and am having trouble finding discussions about...

This may be an odd question, but is KMR alright to give older kitties. I don't mean seniors, but 3-4 month olds. I have had many questions after taking in these orphans in need of some real attention in all areas. The thing they like the most is the KMR. It does not matter if it is...

Is this normal? My kitties, only one of them, had worms, but both were treated. Before this they could not get full, ate all the time and wanted to eat all the time and let me know about it. Now, they hardly eat much at all. I have them on Iams food dry and canned and never cry for food or...

Right now mine are kittens of 2.6 pounds but one of them has the habit of when she is finished with the attention she turns and climbs down your back. This is cute as a kitten, but won't be as a full grown cat. How should I try to correct this or can I? Mickee

I have 2 orphaned kittens and am assuming they are around 13 weeks old now. One was fecal checked, as the vet said they did not need to both be checked. The one checked was clean a week ago, but today I noticed a worm going in and out of the rectum of the kitten that was not checked. Of...

As you know I took in these two orphaned kittens and they were right at 2 pounds at 12 weeks old, according to the vet. I could not find a weight chart to state what a 12 week old kitten should weigh, but found one that stated a 5 week old kitten should weight 2 pounds so I feel they are under...

Just wondering about kitten shots. We got our first round and when we came home the girls slept for like 8 hours straight and then got up nibbled at their food and just cried and cried. They finally went to sleep and were better the next day. I just wondered as they are so small, could they...

Hello! These are not my first set of kittens, but are the first for my 13 year old daughter and she is so over protective it is not funny. I am still a little new to the board but have posted some. I have a pair of kitten, both females, that were abandoned and I came here for advice, which I...

I know I have asked this question before and got some great suggestions, but I am still wondering if there is anyway to know whether a kitten will be a good lap cat or not. We took ours for shots and if you haven't read any of my posts we have 2, what we thought were 8 week old abandoned...

I have posted a little about my new kittens. I consider this the correct forum for them as they were orphaned and neglected and for all practical puposes ferel's. When I got them a week ago the lady that had been taking care of them said she thought they were about 8 weeks old. I had them to...

I am just wondering about this and if anyone has a suggestion would love to hear it. I posted about getting these 2 Russian Blue kittens. The long and short of it is this. They came from a home that did not care about their animals and rarely had a litter of kittens raised old enough to wean...

Hello! I am from Texas and looking in to acquiring a new kitten. My daughter is 13 and has never had a kitten and so my first inclination is to get one as young as possible to watch it grow. Is there really any difference in taking one that is 6 week as opposed to 10 weeks? Are there...
