I have just got home from the vets, Oscar in tow! Hungry as all hell because they had several emergencies and were not able to get to him today. We start the whole drama again in the morning! *rolls eyes* He is certainly very perky this evening though and was playing last night, something he...

Oscar had a really bad evening/night last night. Basically just lay there struggling to breathe. He had improved quite a bit this morning, but I took him to the vets anyway because I didn't want him to suffer any longer. At the vets I got to see George who is the most amazing Hungarian man...

Just updating you all. Oscar has been up and down lately. He went downhill fast on Wednesday and I took him to the vets to do what I had to... but when it came down to it, I couldn't. He jumped up onto my chest from the vets table and head bonked my chin. The vet respected my decision and ended...

Oscar saw the vet again today... a lovely vet that I trust very much. She agreed with the original diagnosis of FIP and kindly asked if I knew the outcome of FIP cats. When I said that I did she said that there was a 1% chance of him going into remission for a time, but that he will die from it...

It always touches me so much to see how many people out there are caring and hoping for Oscar. Thank you so much, it means so much to me! Oscar is doing really well! *knock on wood* He's running around with my other cats a lot of the time (I pick up their food out of his reach) and he happily...

Your good vibes and wishes have worked! Oscar has improved rapidly! He is walking (yes walking!) around the lounge and raiding my other cats bowls. I have stopped the tubefeeds and subcut fluids and now he's just syringe fed. He tries to chase my other cats and headbonks them if he can catch...

Oh my poor Oscar I had to leave him at the vets for surgery to clean out his shoulder. Because of his neurological problems the vet is hesitant to use a general anaesthetic so the poor baby is going to have to have it done under a local! I have to ring in about 90mins to see if he's ready to...

A quick update... poor lil Oscar's abscess on his shoulder burst last night (can we say EW) and this morning its twice as big, so we're off to the vets again.. I think its time to have it opened and cleaned out. The antibiotics just aren't working enough

Morning folks... Naya here, Oscar's carer. Just thought I would up date you all on the morning of Day 3. Mr Oscar protested so much at his tube feed this morning that he bit through BOTH tubes (didn't break off any) and ended up having to be syringe fed... AND.... he swiped at me with his...

Oh My God! My poor baby... I was only cuddling him an hour ago *hugs* to you Tania... I'm so sorry.

Tania (Kumbulu) has asked me to to post for her as she is a little upset at the moment. Dear little Hope didn't make it and crossed over the bridge to be with her siblings and mother. She is very touched by all the prayers and good wishes you have sent, but sadly, Hope was just too sick, too...

I think he's adorable But you knew that already! I'm so glad he's doing so well with you. I'm looking forward to tonight! Make sure you bring the camera for pics of his brothers

Just letting you know that Sooty is much improved this morning! He was quite lively at 3am, so I gave him him some paedalyte and went back to bed. 6am and he was trying to claw his way out of the carrier - he wanted breakfast NOW! I'll still take him to the vets this morning and get him...

The milk is ok, he's been on the same thing since he was 8 days old (now 5 weeks). The milk is Di-Vetalact which is what the vet provided. I make it up as per instructions on the can and I am scrupulous about hygiene. He's on Iams wet kitten food twice a day, plus 3 bottles. Its not in his...

What to feed. I can do that.

No, no emergency vet clinics... just pagers for after hours. A call out can be up to $200 too. The moneys not a problem if I go to my own vet because I am raising them for him and the medical care is free.. Not sure what to do if he goes downhill and I really have to call another vet. I...

Its been 35mins and the vet hasn't rung back yet. I'm thinking we might have a long night ahead I have human rehydration stuff... (same as paedalyte) - can I use it? Any suggestion to where we go from here?

Ok, he's still vomitting after about 80mins and its just white foam now. The pinch test is showing he's slightly dehydrated so I just rang the vets emergency line pager and am waiting for a call back. Please keep him in your thoughts!

I've been hand raising 3 devon rex kittens after their mum was killed by a bus. They are 5 weeks old today and very sweet! One of them is a bit smaller than the others though. One is just over a pound (she's a piggy!) and one is 13oz. The little one, Sooty, was 11.5oz yesterday. He's always...

9 weeks ago I was asked to hand raise 6 kittens. They were 2 weeks old at the time. 2 were rehomed at 6 weeks old. I cried. One we decided to keep. By 10 weeks I was starting to get worried that I wouldn't find homes, and I would have to hand them back to the vets to rehome. This weekend they...
