Hi, thanks for your reply. I have since bought a mouse on a fishing pole toy and she absolutely loves this. She begs me to play by jumping up to the table beside where I have hidden the toy and looking up at it telling me she wants to play! I also received a free toy on an elastic cord which...

Hi there, I have a quite strange situation with my cat. She's just over a year old and for almost all this time she has been both loving and crazy at the same time. Very Jekyll and Hyde. When I come home she greets me lovingly, purring, giving me lots of attention and rubbing herself against...

No, she has occasionally vomited previously when she ate her other food very fast, but this is the first time she has stopped eating the wet food altogether. I can ask if they'll do an exchange maybe, but unsure on the shop policy. She seemed fine with the gelatin in the few days she initially...

Hi all, I have a kitten of 7 months who has always loved the food we give her (Royal Canin Instinctive Kitten in gravy). She recently has been eating too much too quickly and has vomited a few times. The trouble is that the last time this happened she decided that she doesn't want to eat the...

Hi, thank you for your reply. No, the litter is not clumping. It is this one, Friskies Catfresh Classic: http://www.petmaniashop.it/lettiere/40-friskies-lettiera-per-gatti.html. Apologies it is in Italian (think it might be a product marketed mainly in Europe and not UK and USA?) but the...

Hi all, I've recently gotten a new kitten, she is roughly 10 weeks old now. She has adjusted really well to living with me and I haven't had any issues until last night, when my girlfriend saw her eating some of her litter. This concerned me but I hoped it was her being curious. I haven't seen...

I have terrible news I am afraid. I really am too upset to type any details, but her condition rapidly deteriorated yesterday afternoon and evening. I am so sorry to say that she is no longer with us. It was almost certainly FIP and I can still talk to the doctor regarding the results this...

Yes they said this can be a result of the three different things they think it might be. Her heart hasn't been flagged up as a problem, it's her fever, anemia and the underlying cause that's concerning the vet. Good news is that she at heartily last night and did do a poop today, albeit a small...

That was it for the original blood test. Since then, however, she has been back to the vet and they have run more tests including more bloodwork, all while she had an empty stomach for more accurate results I would presume. They also analysed the enlarged lymph node. They should get the results...

Just to update: she is now at the vets for more testing which they will do under anesthesia. They will be testing to find out what the problem is with the lump in her abdomen as well as running another test to evaluate likelyhood of FIP. They explained it isn't a guaranteed yes/no test but that...

Thank you for all the advice in your post. It helped a lot - I have already taken up much of this advice as I went and bought the baby food as you described after work and she has indeed had some of it. I also was more calm when giving her meds tonight. We have moved her litter tray near to her...

Hi, she was given an ultrasound. There's a lump in the lymph node area. They say it's most likely three possible things. The first, I made a note of the name but left the note at home today - but this is the least troubling option and they are treating her for that as a starting point, then I go...

I think the mass they found was due to constipation, which is ok now. They haven't said there are any more issues with this. I will ask today whether there is anything that hasn't been done that could be done (including ultrasound), but they were very clear with me this morning that although...

I hope so too. She does seem better than how she was Friday when we took her to the vet and definitely more hydrated. My only worry is that the vet I spoke to on the phone today was saying they can't work our the actual problem, only the fact that her anemia is being caused as a symptom of...

Thank you. The people in the place she's being looked after are very nice and she is already looking much better. Her reactions are back to being fast and she wanted to play with the little toy mouse I brought for her to leave in her area. She was happy to see us and started to purr and wanted...

They don't speak English but I speak Italian enough to understand plus anything that I don't quite get my girlfriend will understand.  I just called them. They said she's anemic. I just looked the symptoms up and it's precisely what she's been like, to the letter. It particularly explains the...

Thank you. Me too. There is definitely no way she's pregnant as I was waiting for her to finish her heat cycle so I could get her sterilized, then she vomited so I took her to the vets and decided to wait until that was sorted, then she never came back into heat as she became ill. Not only that...

Just to give an update... It's not good news. What the first vet I went to gave her was something which supressed her symptoms, meaning she kept seeming ok then going back to being ill once the effects wore off. I took her to a new vet yesterday and the prognosis was bad. He tested for FIV and...

Yes, I also read this description of the plant and the potential symptoms in cats. I have been very worried about her health and paranoid to an extent, as I am a complete novice when it comes to cat health, but this is one thing that has actually set my mind at ease a bit, as the descriptions of...
