Hi all, just looking for some tips to help our new kitten settle into his new home.  Pixel is 6 months old and has come straight from his breeder. Until yesterday he was still living with his mother. He was raised inside the house but was moved to an outside cage a couple of months ago with...

As if the last few days haven't been tough enough, our foster cat has started acting not like herself. Yesterday when my daughter tried to stroke her back she hissed then ran away, and behaved quite spooked for the next ten minutes. She spent the rest of the day sleeping under the bed that she...

Poe the Devon Rex came into our lives only a few weeks ago, but I fell in love with him the moment we met and it felt like he'd always been there. He was scrawny and mostly bald, with the most enormous yellow eyes I've ever seen on a cat. We knew he wasn't well but that was okay because we...

I'm sitting here looking at my boy, and it occurred to me that I don't really know what to expect in his future. He has RCM with a 3rd degree AV block, not diagnosed until he was in heart failure. He's on lasix, vitamin K (for his anaemia) and steroids (for a tongue ulcer that just won't heal)...

My Devon boy started on Lasix last Sunday for heart failure. Since then he's been smacking his lips and opening his mouth a lot, a bit like my kids do when they're sucking on a sour Warhead. At times he hovers over the water bowl, smacks his lips, looks disgusted and walks away. My vet has no...

My poor boy is receiving treatment for suspected rat poisoning, but today he has developed a swelling inside his back leg that has me really worried. It's like a pocket of oedematous skin hanging down the inside of his leg, about the size of a small egg, and I can feel a couple of pea-sized hard...

I adopted a 5 year old Devon Rex about a week ago. I knew he probably had some health issues as he's extremely thin, basically just skin stretched over bones and a very prominent abdomen. The vet found that he has one very small kidney and the other is very large, but his renal function is fine...

I'm not sure where to go from here with our foster cat's food and probiotics. She's just had a delayed reaction to chicken after a week on it and we're back to square one - bloating, liquid diarrhoea, itchy face and new sores from scratching. The vet wanted the chicken cooked, so she was getting...

We finally have a diagnosis of food allergy as the cause of our foster cat's problems. The vet has told us to put her on a raw single novel protein diet for the next few weeks. I can't get goat or camel meat, which were recommended by the vet. The options available to me are kangaroo (cheapest...

The stray girl we took in a month or so back is having ongoing problems, and neither I nor the vet has a clue what's behind it. She has a few issues, including a nasty skin infection that threatens to encroach on her spaying wound, but I'd like to get some opinions on her gastric issues. When...

I took in a stray cat a couple of weeks ago, after she moved into my garden and asked for help. She was outside for a long time, at least two months from what the neighbours have told me. I cant keep her indefinitely as we're renting and not supposed to have cats, so I'm fostering her until the...
