He pooped about an hour ago. It was clearly difficult for him (he was running around frantically, panting at times before he settled down to do it) but he passed a normal looking stool, if not large due to how long it had been since the last one. We will start putting pumpkin in his food, and...

Hi all, Rowan is 7.5 weeks now and is a little terror (in a good way!) :) - he is on wet food and is being weaned from Babalon just fine. Only iss ue is - he hardly ever poops! Last time he did it was the size of a large earthworm, it was huge! And that was 4 days ago. He seems totally...

Hi all, Rowan is 6 weeks 2 days old now, and I'm wondering when everyone might think it's safe for me to introduce him to my other cats? In my house we have Lola who is 10, Zoe who is 7 and Leto who is 11 months. Leto is the father. Leto and Rowan have already 'met' via the crack under the door...

Hi again everyone, So Rowan is doing really well still, he's thriving at 5.5 weeks old. He's at 22oz which I believe is on the larger side of a month old kitten. It's 'that time' to start giving him wet food and litter training him! But I am a bit stumped. Are there any tips for how to get him...

Hi again everyone, So Rowan is 3 weeks old now and is doing really well. Very healthy and gaining a substantial amount of weight per day. I've read online that you can begin litter training at 3 weeks so I obtained a shallow tray and some non-clumping clay litter. Is it ok to try it with him...

Well he doesn't have discharge at all anymore (the one eye was only 'shut' with two hairs, a little warm water on a cloth cleared that up).  It's just the sneezing, that's all. No eye goo and no other bad signs except perhaps the sneezing. But like I said it could be related to being fed by...

Hi, My scale is in grams and then for my birth chart I convert to ounces. He was 11.3oz on Wednesday eve and 12.4oz on Thursday eve. Certainly this could have been pre-elimination, haha! But he is a big boy and does always grow on the larger side of what is normal from day to day. Yes there is...

I'll call them all if I have to!

You're right, except the vets in my area don't really know what they are talking about. Almost every time I have asked them a kitten-related question they have not been helpful. Now, as I understand Lysine is an amino acid so it is generally considered safe. Does anyone know anymore about it?

Hi all, It was suggested that I make a new thread to discuss what the title says - what would be the proper daily lysine dosage for a 2 week old kitten? He's 12oz and is very healthy aside from the occasional sneeze which of course could be nothing but I'd like to prevent any URIs.  I read...

P.S. Today he gained 30 grams/1 ounce! I'm sure that's not normal...but I think that's good, right? 

To answer your questions:  I change the blanket in the birthing box every few days. Mom's been doing a great job of eliminating Rowan so there haven't been any accidents. I keep a close eye on the state of things. The Mom's litter is in the adjoining room to the birthing box - I tried keeping...

Hi ladylion803, I'll answer your questions in a bit, I'd just really like to know what the proper daily dosage for Lysine is for a 2 week old kitten if anyone could provide me with an answer? I see that it's hard to overdose a cat on lysine but a 2 week old kitten I imagine is a different story...

Ok, do you know where I can find this? I'm in Canada. Also, how much would I administer/how would I administer? He's (obviously) nursing so could I give it to my Queen and it would enter his system that way, or do I need to give it to him in a dropper or something like that? Thanks!

Hello? Anybody?
