In December the vet did take urine directly from the bladder, there were no stones or crystals.  I believe you are right about the shot being Covenia, that sounds like what they said.  This most recent time, there wasn't enough urine in the bladder to get a sample so with the recent diagnosis...

Back in December, my male cat had a UTI.  Our vet gave him a shot of antibiotic because we told them it is hard to pill him.  The vet said that they like to give two shots 10 days apart to make sure it really works.  So we did the 2 shots and less than a month later he is peeing blood again.  We...

My 8 yo old Siberian Cat has been eating Science Diet Hairball for most of his life.  He loves it.  Recently we noticed he was throwing up almost every day and since we don't really like the SD anyway we switched.  My husband bought the Petsmart brand Simply Nourish (just regular adult cat) and...

Yes they are all neutered.  But I had no idea that the jumping and biting necks was not playing behavior.  He really only does it to Lightning.  I will look into the calming collar, I have never heard of it before.  Keeping them apart is the hard part, because we have a really small house.  In...

I have 3 cats, a 8yo (Thunder), 5yo (Lightning), and 2yo (Nitro).  Neither of the older cats like the 2 yo (that has been with us since a kitten) but they don't fight or anything.  He tries to play with them by jumping on them and biting their necks.  He does it mostly to the 5yo and when he...

I don't have a lot of experience with this, but we rescued 9 feral kittens this summer. What worked for us was to use a large dog crate to keep them in (we used more than one for 9). It had the food, litter box, water inside. You will have more luck with the kitten using the litter box that...

I did say farm...but it is not so much anymore. No other animals. The farm has 200 acres and had cattle up until a year ago. Now we don't have cattle or anything. We just have farmers who lease the land. Even the older ferals would not have been around the cattle as this is away from that...

Thanks, my vet did give us ointment for the eyes without an appointment. I was going to try the duramyacin as an assist to that as recommended by the rescue. They said to try the ointment and duramyacin and wait a few days, then we can take to our vet if needed.

Well, we caught 9 kittens but found that there are 12! We have them in 2 cages in my MIL basement. The rescue won't help with cost unless we agree to foster them until they are adopted. I don't know that we can feasibly do that for 9-12 kittens. Our 2nd option is we want to try to keep them...

I'm not sure how old they are or how long they have had it. My SIL has a colony of ferals living in an abandoned house on her farm. There are so many of them. She went on vacation and asked us to feed them while she is gone (2 wks). We noticed the problem and became very upset. There are 9...

We have 9 feral kittens (from several different mothers), many of which have severe conjunctivitis. Their eyes are totally "glued" shut. I called my vet and they gave me some meds. I used some cotton balls to help me open the eyes but one of them had a bunch of mucus or something that came...

Right now I am carrying a pretty large one. Way too large for what I need but I do like it. Usually it is a medium size one. I have a little zip bag that I use to carry advil, tide pen, makeup, small sewing kit, chapstick, etc. That way when I switch purses I just need to grab that, my cell...

Wow, they are really nice. I might have to convince my sister in law to try that. She lives on a farm and has about 15 feral cats around. She is trying to catch and fix them but at this point she is not able to touch most of them and it is getting out of control. 3 moms are pregnant now...

We buy wheat grass and grow it at home. It grows pretty fast but doesn't last more than 2 weeks before you need to start over. It is much cheaper to buy it and grow it yourself.

I think they are a decent food. I'm pretty sure they weren't recalled either. There are some varieties that don't have wheat gluten in them. We use them about once a week.

All the plants I have are non toxic, sometimes they do get ruined but at least I don't have to worry about the safety of the cats. I have some african violets and an orchid which are fine. Also a neanthebella plam which does get eaten sometimes!

We have a Siberian, which some people claim to be hypoallergenic or less allergenic. We got him since I was slightly allergic to cats. However, I still was allergic to him. Many Siberian breeders will let you come visit their cattery and play with the cats and you can see if he will have less...

I don't know too much about cat's anal glands, but my dog has to have it done quite often. If they are really full, sometimes the vet will give her a steroid shot afterwords so they don't get infected afterward. Now she is a lab so a good bit larger than a cat but I would think that if they...

I just bought Nutro's Max Cat yesterday and I paid 12.99 for an 8lb bag. It is supposed to be for finicky cats which is why I'm trying it. Hopefully it will work.

Thanks for all the help. I bought a bag of Max cat last night. I added it to the other food. This morning it looks like all of the Max cat was picked out and eaten! Though I'm not sure which cat ate it!!! Hopefully this will be the right food for us. It may have a few more grains than I'd...
