You had mentioned that you were trying to get time off work to take him to the vet. Most areas have emergency vets that are open 24 hours just like a hospital ER. They are more expensive of course but some will work with you and at the least limit the activity to only do things that require...

Thanks for the advice. I will try to find a local vet. Maybe the one that did the dad will work with me since they will have 7 new clients for it. And luckily there's only 1 boy, so it gives me a bit to work with in the other 4 girls

The Humane Society itself us right here in town, but apparently they don't do the surgery here. There's a clinic in the more southern part of the state that apparently only does spay/neuter and rabies if needed but no other vet services. Apparently all the town's around here use them. The local...

I did check around, and I found that the only low cost place is through the humane society. However, they bus the cats to a place 3 hrs away and keep them overnight then bus them back. It makes me a little hesitant. But I would hope if they do this all the time they are responsible and safe...

There's 5 kittens. 1 boy and 4 girls. That's exactly what we planned on :) get the boy done after mom, then work on the girls as fast as possible to reduce any chances of pyometra. When we originally planned to adopt them out we gave them "names" based d on their color patterns (all mostly grey...

Thank you so much for your quick responses! That's really good to hear! Originally we had intended to find them homes. This was an accident because I didn't know that male cats could still apparently impregnate for a few days after neutering and in my ignorance let them be together (I could...

She was originally the runt but through use of kmr she is now the second largest. She was always playful and the one that wanted to sleep in our arms the most. Suddenly a few days ago she started to only want to be in the kitchen. If we pick her up and bring her in the living room, she will...

I have a litter of kittens who are 10wks old. The runt is suddenly starting to act strange and in worried. I'm trying to find a vet that will let me make payments because I don't get paid for 2 more wks so I thought someone might have some knowledge in the meantime (Sorry, part 2 is below. I...

I absolutely will. And I've gotten stuff to treat the yard and outdoor strays (if they are still strays since they've adopted us, lol) so this will remain under control in the future. Thank you so much for your responses

UPDATE: I apologize for taking so long, it's been crazy! The spots did clear up and haven't recurred. Everyone is healthy and happy. Thank you all for your responses! We have decided to keep all the kittens! It's the only way we can guarantee a good home for everyone! We are scheduling...

Thank you! Actually I haven't seen any fleas in the house or been bitten. I'm just assuming that since I'm seeing them on the cats, then the house must be treated as well. It's very very early, I've only seen 1 or 2 on the cats. I will follow all the steps you have provided. Thank you again!

My DH and I moved into a small cottage with our 2 cats. We discovered multiple cats living under the house and with winter coming were very concerned for their safety. We didn't want to call animal control because they would be euthanized, so I researched online on how to build a shelter and we...

I will see if I can get my hands on a food or postal scale. Something that can detect that amount of weight. I have been keeping an eye on their bellies, which are always round and whenever I hear loud meowing I go help shuffle then around so they all get a nipple. But I will start supplementing...

Unfortunately I don't have one. I was thinking it was nursing because its on the face. It seemed pretty reasonable to me that a blind kitten could smell the milk a sibling is getting and in trying to get to the same nipple attach itself to the face of the sibling instead. I had looked all over...

I'm trying to buy a car today, the nearest vet is 30 miles away so I can't get there until I get a car but i will take them as soon as I do. Hopefully I can get one today and take them tomorrow. It's not a burst abscess. I know its hard to see from the picture because of the flash, but the skin...

OH NO! I embedded the pics, hopefully you can see them well enough. The first pic is the one that I just noticed. The second is the one that is healing (its hard to tell but there is now a thing coating if fine hair. Thank you so much

My cat had 5 kittens almost 2 wks ago (I got my male cat neutered first and was going to spay my female next, but I didn't know they are still fertile for a while after neutering!) On day 2 I noticed one kitten had a circular raw bald patch on his/her cheek. It looked about perfect size to be...
