Yesterday we took our two 5 month old kittens to get neutered. Today I noticed one of them has I believe his canine barely hanging on in his gums. I don't see an adult tooth pushing out, but even when humans lose their baby teeth, it takes some time for the adult tooth to fill in the spot. So do...
Has anyone ever had one of their feral cats from a colony go missing for a while and later return? The cat that is missing I raised since finding him at about 3 months old last year. He was tnr'd about a month and a half ago, and always would show up everyday, sometimes every other day, but has...
So I took in some stray cats from the outside. They haven't been dewormed yet, and I hadn't really let my cats that I own go downstairs often to prevent them from catching anything. However, I did let my cat go downstairs once or twice, and when I had gone upstairs and came back down I noticed...
So 7 weeks ago two mama cats had kittens a day apart. 10 total. They have been in my basement for 6 weeks, and are all doing fine. Don't think the mama's got pregnant in the one week they were outside from giving birth to when I took them inside. I know another female cat I was feeding seemed...
So I started feeding a stray cat I saw in a backyard. I felt bad for it because it is blind in one eye. Little did I know the reason it was in my backyard was because it must have recently had kittens around the bushes, and was not going to wander too far away. Anyway, the kittens I am going to...
So last april female cat was losing weight. Wasn't sure what was going on. At one point after feeding her with a syringe she seemed to be doing better. Then she got sick again after a week. Not knowing what to do the doctor wanted to operate to determine for sure if it was cancer or ibd. I...
I have two 9 year old persian cats, one male, one female. I took in a stray that I was taking care of for 3 months on my porch. She is very sweet and seems like she might have been someones pet at one time. At most the vets think she is maybe 3 years old, but she might be younger as well. The...
So I took in a stray. Been caring for her outside for 3 months. She is very sweet and loving. I am actually rather surprised how well she made the transition to becoming an indoor only cat. Purs all the time, rolls on her back for me to pet her belly. The only problem is I have two 9 year old...
Saw her a few times last year, then in February she came around more, and had kittens. She's been around my house ever since. Tricked her into going into the carrying cage by putting some food in it. The vet tested her for felv, and I believe the same test checks for fiv as well. Both negative...
So I have been taking care of a stray cat. Pretty much she is ours now, but until I can get her her shots, and hopefully she does not have any serious diseases like fiv or felv, she will most likely become another indoor cat. For now though we set up a tarp on our back porch. My AC from my...
Just noticed a little red patch above one of my cats eyes. It looks like it is on the eyelid or just above. I am thinking he maybe just rubbed it too much and it got irritated, but with all the stuff my cats have gone through in the last weeks I was just curious if anyone has every seen...
If anyone is interested in catching up on my previous post they can, but long story short one of my cats was diagnosed with ibd, but before we had surgery for her she seemed to be getting better for a week. Then one morning she was vomiting white foam and had really stinky diarrhea. That day we...
So a little over two weeks ago I got a rescue shelter to take her kittens. She stayed around for a few days, then I didnt see her for about three days, so I took down the tarp by my porch and put everything in my garage. Every once and a while I would hear a meow in my backyard and I looked in...
So this month has been a nightmare for me. One cat was very sick, but made a remarkable recovery after us syringe feeding her for 3 weeks now and having open surgery to confirm a positive ibd diagnosis. Her wound healed extremely fast and I do not think she is in any pain. She plays just like a...
So last week I found a rescue to take the stray cats 5 kittens. They were only 5 weeks old, but I pllayed with them everyday, and they started eating food. I know they should have been wth the mother longer, but I really had no choice. The rescue would not take the mother without putting her in...
I started posting a few weeks ago because one of my cats was losing weight, throwing up, not eating a lot. After loads of tests, exploratory laparotomy and being placed on flagyl and mitrazapine, as well as a shot of long lasting pregnisone she is doing great. She was diagnosed with moderate...
I have posted before about my female cat. Long story short she was diagnosed with ibd, and sometime this week she will be getting started on her treatment plan, which I believe will include pregnisolone. We are still syringe feeding her because she does not seem to be eating enough. She nibbles...
Both of my cats are sick at the moment. One cat stopped eating for a few days. Today when we went to the vet they syringed fed him and he did not really fight it. About 3 hours after that I wanted to give him another syringe full for the night so he would have at least a little more food in him...
I am still waiting for biospy results back from one cat. She has lost over a pound in a month, had diareah and white foamy vomit yesterday. My other cat was acting a little weird yesterday, not eating but I figured it was because the only other cat he has known since he was 2 months old was his...
So for the last two weeks I have been taking my cat to the vet and each time she has lost a little bit more weight. She was given a steroid last week, and we were tube feeding her. She began to seem like she was improving, and even started eating little nibbles of food on her own, but last night...
