My Murphy is 7 years old. On Tuesday I noticed he was lethargic and took him to the vet. He had a fever of 103.2 and the vet said he had a little congestion in his lungs, so he gave him a shot of Convenia. His eyes were also a little bit red, but not watery. No sneezing, no nasal discharge...

A stray kitty showed up at my grandparents' house. He's a gorgeous flame point Siamese. I took him to the vet and he tested positive for FIV. He has a small wound on his foot, it's not deep and it's not all that bad, but the vet said that his foot should heal before he can be neutered. She...

I figure that there has been a post about Purina One Beyond around here, but I can't seem to find any. I'm looking for some advice from those of you who know a lot about ingredients. I currently feed my cats Blue Buffalo Sensitive Stomach formula, $37 a bag and we use 1.5 bags a week...

My cat, Jack, has crusty ears. The insides of his ears are clean. The edges along the outside and inside and about an inch down his ear on the inside are red, crusty and itchy. The hair along the back of his ears on the edges is gone. He is also scabby on his head, specifically in that area...

I wasn't really sure where to post this, so hopefully here is okay! I am in the process of getting a cat fence so my cats can go outside safely. What I already know if that I'm going to get the Purrfect Fence conversion system. So I have to decide what kind of fence I'm going to get to put...

I learned a few days ago that Lysol is highly toxic to cats. I had NO idea! I was horrified! I have 10+ rescued kitties and I clean floors & counters daily. I typically use a vinegar & water mix, then go over everything again with Lysol. (fresh smell & extra clean!) I can't believe I've...

I have five 8 month old kitties that were born to a stray mommy cat. One of the kittens developed horrible conjunctivitis from having FHV (2 other kits have had flare ups too), and she ended up with an ulcer on her eye. She had been isolated from the others for about 4 weeks. Now that she is...

I volunteer with a rescue group and was told by someone that there was a mommy cat and some few month old kittens at their apartment complex. Then I was told that mommy was pregnant again and was due any day. This was on Sunday. I said I would take them in, the person wanted to catch them...

I have 14 cats (all rescues). I would guess that almost half of them have some allergy/skin issues off and on. They've always eaten Friskies dry and Whiskas dry. I now know those foods are loaded with the crappy, allergy causing ingredients. I want to switch them to a better food. After...

One of my cats has major paw pad problems. All 4 of her paw & toe pads stay swollen, and eventually they pop, ooze, and drain. She has been to the vet multiple times. His treatment is to give her a steroid shot and an antibiotic shot every 4-6 weeks. This makes the swelling go down a little...

I'm fostering a cat for the rescue group I volunteer with. She got an URI and hated being in a cage, so I brought her home to get her well. I've noticed that every night she growls and hisses at her tail, runs around, and tries to attack it. She isn't playing. She looks genuinely disturbed...

I've been feeding a little feral cat since the middle of January. It wasn't until about the middle of February that he had a schedule and came around at the same times every day. At that time I thought he was probably 6 months old or so, and I started thinking about trapping him and bringing...
