I have vet visit scheduled to have his poop analyzed.

Desperate for help. My one year old kitten is refusing to use the litterbox to poop in.  It's been months now..  I have one other cat who behaves perfectly and gets along well with my kitten.  Here is what I have tried: 1. Adding litter boxes, covered and uncovered 2. Changing litter type...

Things do not seem to be getting much better. He had a good night last night, slept fairly the way through and didn't seem in much pain. In the AM, I gave him sub q fluids and fluid by mouth, plus his medicine and went to work. Then, I came home at 5 to find that he had puked twice behind the...

Thank you for replying to my message. When you say kidney function labs - is that the bloodwork? Here is what I learned at the Vet after work. The urinalysis revealed white blood cells and some casts in the urine. The vet explained that the white blood cells were a clear sign of infection...

Hello everyone, Some time yesterday my three year old cat became listless, not eating or drinking, not grooming and began vomiting. I noticed it at around 6:30 pm when I came home. He was clearly dehydrated, so I sat up with him giving him water by syringe. This am, he peed but only a...

Hi everyone, I reviewed the threads on this topic and I think I just need some reassurance that I've got this right. I have a cat who was a shelter cat for a number of years. I've had him for two years. I recently changed the litterbox from a hooded one to a hooded one with a swing door...

I forgot to mention that I also feed him science diet kitten wet food, every evening he gets 1/8 of a can. Can either of you recommend a cat food? I was thinking switching might be a good idea, but I don't want to have to go with the vet pet food if I can avoid it

I have a four month old kitten, and he seems completely healthy. Dry nose, no discharge in the eyes, super active, eats and drinks regularly and stools normal. But he pukes. He pukes for no apparent reason sometimes. For example, on New Years, he puked up in the morning when we were all...

What a beautiful siamese you have! My Jakkob is part siamese/ part manx. Anyway, I just wanted to say that for some people, a cat is a pet, and for others, a cat is a family member. The later is true for me. I would never have left him without care if I thought the situation was serious...

I'm not sure about that, maybe she had the peircings before the cat? I thought I was really well prepared when I got Jakkob. I set aside a chunk of money for the vet visits for the first year, and bought all the supplies before I picked him out. I'm not a rich person, I get by, but I did a...

Thanks for the tip. I did notice yesterday when I soaked his nose with saline before I tried to pick off the stuff from the day before that I couldn't get off the fur, he was much happier!

I can totally sympathize with your (and the vets) position. I know that I have a new kitten and they can't be sure I won't run off without paying. So, I wasn't too upset when they turned me down. The situation was not that bad, and if it had been I would have borrowed some money. Good news...

Thank you all for your advice. I've been doing the shower thing, I couldn't keep him out of the bathroom if I tried. I talked to my vet about getting an appointment and paying by postdated cheque. He wouldn't do it. I phoned another vet in the city today, and talked at length. She told me...

Hello everyone, My kitten has a nose discharge, which he has had since I got him. Just over a month ago, I took him in for his first vet visit and the vet gave me eye and nose drops. This resolved the problem for a little while, but the stuff is back, on the right side of his face in his...
