Well, she took clavamax first, then the other vet wanted her to take Zithromax so I have given her that, although yesterday I accidentally gave her twice the normal dosage (I should probably read the instructions more carefully next time!!!). Anyways, she still wont eat but the allergen was...

This year, I took in a stray cat that wound up being pregnant and had 9 kittens. I have given 5 of them away, but apparently its harder to give away cats than I thought. Anyways, I still have the mom and 4 "kittens." My problem is that they all started sneezing and now my original cat who...

Well, they all seem to be eating A LOT of food. Even the sick ones. I am assuming they are drinking water because they go through a lot of that too. Also, the sick ones are still playing with each other so I assume they are fine.

Anyone know if this is normal? The a lot of the kittens have runny noses, sneezing, ect...

Ok, it looks like at least 1/2 of the 9 have come down with sniffling with runny noses and sneezing in the past week and a half. Is this normal? I assume they are like children with untested immune systems. Anyways, one of the brown/white tabbies has conjunctivitis so I am giving him the eye...

Hey if you cannot get to a vet today, you might want to try putting maximum strength neosporin into his eye. To open it, use luke-warm water on a cotton ball and wipe away the crusty stuff then use your fingers to pry open his eye and put a dab of neosporin in his eye with your finger. Make...

Hello, the 9 kittens are still alive and well. 1 got conjunctivitis, but it seems to be getting better. Another one has a cold and is sneezing a lot with a runny nose and the female tuxedo is sneezing a bit too. I assume this is all normal for young kittens, although I would like them to not...

Its me again, pestering you guys with yet another question! Sorry, but I have never done this kitten raising/adopting out thing before, so I have had lots of questions. Anyways, I am wondering if this kitten is a long hair? The lady who might adopt her would prefer a short hair, but I am...

Ok, he is not breathing heavily anymore nor is he drooling and snot is no longer coming out of his nose. I am keeping him separated from the other kittens for now in a cat carrier. He is still sneezing, but not as much. I used some lukewarm salt water to wash out his eye, and that seemed to...

Hello, 1 of the 9 kittens had a swollen eye, so I took him to the vet. The vet said it was conjunctivitis, said some of the other kittens will probably get it, and gave me some teardrops. I have been applying the drops, but today the kitten has been sneezing A LOT, like 20 times a minute. I...

So....many....whiskers!!!!

Thanks goldenkitty, you must be the board expert on cat coloring. Honestly, its all new to me. If I understand you, they will not be solid black like the cats you see in movies? One of them is more a charcoal grey than black, but I guess he will probably darken. On of the others has wisps of...

More questions: The 9 kittens are going to the bathroom all over the room they are occupying. I have set up 3 litter boxes, and some are using them but some are not. I am cleaning the boxes often. Is there something I can do to make them stop pooping all over the edges of the room? Will...

So the stripes will disappear and they will be solid black cats like the kind that people think are bad luck? Or will there be a few stripes remaining? I know you cant predict the future, but I am curious.

Ok, a few questions! All 9 are still healthy, growing and very cute. 1. Can I give the cats a bath yet at 5 weeks? 2. At what point should I take them to the vet for a first check up? 3. Is it normal for momma cat to feel very warm to the touch? Also, her belly is getting bigger, like...

The momma cat I adopted seemed very young, but once she had the kittens she knew exactly what to do. If you are able to separate the mom into her own space and let her raise the kittens undisturbed with a steady supply of high calorie kitten food, she should do just fine on her own. That is...

The kittens I am caring for didn't seem to be able to see much at all until 3 weeks. They also had very blue eyes...what do you mean by glaze? Even now at 4 weeks, 2 days, I am pretty sure they cannot see past about 5 feet.

SiameseStacey: Thanks for your kind words and personal story. Its been an interesting experience helping this momma cat and her 9 kittens. She is still nursing them, although they have all discovered that wet cat food is delicious...to a cat, at least. I just saw them devour a bunch of wet...

Ok, here are some individual pictures of all 9 kittens. Still looking for homes for at least 5-6 of them, so if anyone knows someone who wants a kitten near central/east Texas (Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas) please do not hesitate to let me know. Alpha Male Tabby: Male Black Tabby...

Ok, I gave the kittens food today for the first time and it seemed like most of them started eating it right away. I also got that powdered milk stuff, and the ones who wouldn't eat the food did eat that stuff and seemed to like it a lot. Mom ate the milk as well. I guess that means the whole...
