Hello all. Our megaesophagus kittie Capulcu is almost a year old now, and we've come a looong way in the 6 months, from 1.2kg to 3kg now. But she's a big girl, and the 3kg is just way too skinny for her, and it also gives us no room for any weight loss if we have another set back. I'm looking...

I have a raw fed little girl with mild CKD and megaesophagus. Because of the ME she needs to have a completely liquid diet. This morning we blew our latest blender (a cheap local brand - Sinbo), and now we have decided that as we have another 15-20 years of this to come, we might as well invest...

It's a long story so I'll go through this really quick, 5 months ago I hand-reared 3 orphans only to lose 2 of the 3 to babesiosis at around 5 months old. I have one survivor, ironically the runt of the litter who has really turned out to be quite the fighter. The treatment she received has left...

Took on 3 new fosters yesterday, eyes only just opening around 7-8 days old. Of the three, one is taking the bottle perfectly, pees and poops well and sleeps the rest of the time. The other two girls, no matter what I do, just will not stop screaming. They take the bottle (they fight it a...

So, I have a husky girl and 6 cats (3 of my own, 3 fosters), and all but one were weaned straight on to raw from bottle feeding. We didn't have any trouble until recently when one of the fosters, a white Van girl, developed acne. I assumed it was related to her sensitive skin and having spent so...

Both my dog and cat were weaned from the bottle to raw (prey model) and I've never had any trouble with weight etc so dealing with weight issues is very new to me. 10 days ago we adopted a 4 pound adult (vet estimates her to be around 2 years old) cat who is unfortunately just skin and bone. ...

We found a cat 10 days ago in the garden at work and she seemed to be paralyzed so we took her straight to the vet and we are now faced with a diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis. Apparently it is very rare in cats and our vet has never seen it before, he has been in contact with the local veterinary...

Sorry for the long post, but I have no clue if any of it could be relevant. While I was at college, I adopted a stray 4 month old. She was the sweetest most loving cat you can imagine.. would suckle on my arm for hours on end and demand to be held all the time. She spent all her time indoors...

Squeak is now 22 days old and her eyes have been open about a week but they seem quite glazed and I'm pretty sure she can't see a thing out of them. Is it normal for a kitten over 3 weeks to still have trouble seeing? Should I be preparing to deal with her growing up to be blind? She opened her...

I adopted 2 newborn kittens on Tuesday morning after I found them abandoned in the sun still with umbilical attached to placenta. Unfortunately we were unable to save one - she'd just been left in the sun too long. My little boy has been doing really well.. eats well sleeps well and until Friday...
