Rang_27's experience with Jordan would have been exactly like what I went through with my Whiskers, with the exception of the last sentence in the first paragraph. I never got a definite diagnosis but in the end, she had multiple seizures in a short period of time. I knew at that point that we...
Have you tried giving her chicken baby food? Make sure it is just chicken and not the chicken dinner with vegetables or other stuff. I get the Gerbers stage 2 with just ground chicken, water and corn starch in the ingredients list. to Bella.
Pamela, I just saw this thread and wanted to say that you are such a great momma. Your kitties are lucky to have you!
I lost my Whiskers last summer and it was physically and emotionally exhausting during the month that she was going through the vet visits and medications.
Hang in there and...
I talked to the vet today and he didn't seem too concerned about the vomiting. He just said to watch him and see if he continues to vomit. The good news is that his follow-up urinalysis came back normal. The ph was down to 6 and no blood or crystals.
Last night, Teddy vomited three separate times during the night (approx. 2 hours apart) and then in the morning he had diarrhea (sorry TMI but I thought it was worth mentioning.) He is about 16 months old and ever since he was a kitten, he has vomitted here and there. I always thought it was...
I had to laugh when I saw this...love the photos too. My Teddy has this and my sister always makes fun of his "long toe hairs"...as if they were undesirable or something. Btw, he is a ragdoll, too.
If kitty has diarrhea, the scooper hand cannot pick up the poop and then proceeds to smear it all around the bowl. Then when the drying cycle comes on, it blow dries all the poop particles and stinks up the entire house. This is what's totally disgusting!
What I do is manually start the...
I am soo excited for you. Kittens are always so much fun. Sounds like your new babies will be spoiled rotten
I have this really cool carrier called the SleepyPod that I love. It also doubles as a bed so the kitties are not so freaked out when they have to go to the vet.

I have read many good reviews about the Litter Robot and was considering buying one last year but ended up getting the CatGenie instead because there is no litter involved and seemed more sanitary. I have had it since December and have been very happy with it. It usually works great unless the...
Here is something to think about - if you do not report your cats, what happens if you have a maintenance issue or management decides to come into your apartment for a check-up such as testing the smoke alarms or checking the A/C filters? Of course they would need your permission to enter the...
I like the Lemon Thyme. It reminds me of the Silver Sage at Restoration Hardware. If you have thick base boards and/or crown molding with high ceilings, that color looks great with the trim in white.
If you are still unsure, try testing a 3x3' patch of each color on the same wall and see which...
I wasn't sure which forum to post this but I saw this article in the paper today and thought it might be of interest. It is regarding a possible link between hyperthyroidism in cats and chemicals found in flame retardants. They say that indoor cats that eat fish-flavored canned food were found...
I can try all wet again but it seemed like he would get bored of it after a couple of weeks...even when I was rotating 3 Merrick flavors.
What are some good brands to include in the rotation and how many? Is it okay to rotate different wet food brands without mixing? I think he has somewhat of...
If you have a compounding pharmacy near you, they can make the pills into a liquid suspension. Then you can administer the medicine with a syringe. Just have your vet write you a prescription. The pharmacy that I went to even asked me what my cat's favorite food was and they added the chicken...
Teddy, my ragdoll kitten is turning 1 year old next week and he seems to be getting bored with the dry food I'm feeding him so I am thinking of changing his food and wanted to get all the experts' advice here first.
He is currently eating Innova wet food mixed with Natural Balance dry twice a...
Try feeding her smaller amounts of food in more frequent intervals to see if that helps keep the food down. If she is not touching the current food you are feeding her, buy some small cans of different wet foods and see if she will eat any new ones. Sometimes a stinky food like sardines will do...
My deepest sympathy for your loss. It is very difficult when it happens so suddenly but with time, your heartache will lessen.
Glad to hear to Snickers is eating again and I hope she continues to eat normally. Whenever my kitties lose their appetite, I give them whatever they will eat to help...
