    Inflammatory bowel disease and switching foods?

    My 13 year old cat was just diagnosed with IBD and the vet has me giving her prednisone. I have four cats and they have all eaten Nutro Natural choice dry for some years now. My oldest (the one w/ IBD) also gets Nutro Senior wet food. The vet put her on prednisone, but has not mentioned...

    Collecting stool sample, how long can i keep it?

    I've been trying to collect a stool sample to bring in for a worm test for my older cat who has become very thin. They've tested for other things and so far nothing unusual shows up. Since I have other cats, I've been locking her in a room with her own litter box during the day, hoping to get a...

    Is sneezing kitten contagious? How Long?

    I have a 10 week old kitten that sneezes a few times a day. He was with his littermates at the vet last Thursday for a health check and a littermate ended up with an URI (picked up from the vet's office). The sick cat has since gone home to her new family and my guy only sneezes a few times a...

She had her kittens and they are going to be leaving at the end of this week (9 weeks old) to go to another foster home while they are spayed/neutered, then off to their forever homes (except the one who we are...

    What to use for kitty litter?

    The kittens (stray mom that we took in pregnant at Christmas time) are now 3 weeks old and beginning to wander around their area. Currently there is a litter box for momcat in there with regular (non-clumping) litter. Can I use this kind of litter for the kittens as well, or should I switch mom...

    Upate on my weak kitten...

    I think he's doing better. I weighed him yesterday and he was 6.4 oz. Today he is 6.8 oz, so that seems to be a good weight gain in one day. The others gained between .1 and .6 oz I have a theory as to why he was not doing well. See if you think this could be it. Last Saturday morning I went to...

    Kitten seems a bit weak?

    Hi, I'm new here. A little background: On Christmas weekend we were "adopted" by a pregnant stray cat. She showed up and INSISTED that she was supposed to be our cat. LOL We took her in and set her up in a separate room, as we have 3 other cats (all rescues/shelter cats). We began feeding her...
