I've read most of the comments in this thread. I used to be a veterinary technician & here's my advice. First, if your cats have fleas you need to get rid of them for good & with that many cats, it's going to be a task. Fleas can cause all sorts of health problems, not just for your cats but...

I had to reply as I also recently lost my, not even six month old kitten to FIP. I'm very sorry you're also going through this. I've felt the same way, like I did something wrong but, at the same time, I know that I didn't. Neither did you. We did everything we could to help sick little fur...

Thank you all for that kind words. It really means a lot.

I had posted several times with concerns over our newly adopted kitten, Animal. I wanted to thank everyone who tried to help me and give an update. Unfortunately, we opted to end Animal's suffering on November 1, 2016. He wasn't even 6 months old. We had him for almost exactly 3 months. FIP is a...

He did it once but I caught him trying to do it again today. What do crystals look like? His urine was really dark yellow. He has only urinated once today. I'm so worried. I wonder if I can take him to an emergency vet eventhough I can't pay right away.

I've posted a couple times now about our kitten "Animal." He'll be six months old, actually, on election day. He was a bottle fed kitten who was found without a mother or any siblings at just 2-3 weeks old. When we first brought him home he seemed healthy and was a typical happy and rambunctious...

I am feeding Merrick dry kitten food. He was getting a little bit of Solid Gold Tuna in gravy but I've stopped giving that. He hasn't had any for days now.

I posted awhile ago with concerns that my five month old kitten might have giardia. After taking him to the vet and having a fecal exam, they ruled that out and thought he had a bacterial infection. He's now had two rounds of Metronidazole. The first time with a round of Panacur (they treated...

I can't help but comment on this again. I used to work in a veterinary hospital and while I'm not a veterinarian, I was an assistant. Open lesions must be addressed promptly. Once there is an opening like that, it becomes the perfect environment for infection. Your cat also has to be in pain...

@StefanZ - I can't tell you how grateful I am for your advice. I have been administering Pedialyte and some goats milk every few hours since last night and although the diarrhea persists, it doesn't seem as bad. Also, I've seen dramtic improvement in how my kitty, Animal, has been acting. He is...

Thank you so much for your reply. I haven't been able to sleep because I'm so worried! I have dried, powdered goats milk on hand. I will try that straight away. I will also get some pedialyte ASAP. I did not see the suggestions about financial help but will definitely read them. I can't thank...

I actually started my account here a long time ago and posted one thread but never knew to introduce myself. My apologies. You can call me by my user name "Poznog." I live with my husband and our three cats. You can see them in the attached picture. I also included a picture of my late cat...

I really think you need to get your kitty to the vet ASAP.

I have a five month old kitten who was found very young (two to three weeks old) without a mother. So, he was bottle fed from a very young age. He has been treated for giardia several times; twice by the shelter we got him from and once by us and our veterinarian. However, I'm now wondering if...

This could be conjunctivitis or a problem with the eyes themselves. Please take her to the vet. You really don't want to mess around with the eyes. An eye infection left untreated can lead to blindness.
