Hang in there and done blame yourself at all. I'm sorry and feel your pain...

Have they definitely diagnosed him with hyoerthyroid? And first let me start by saying DO NOT blame yourself. As the previous poster stated cats HIDE their illness very well. All those little signs don't become apparent a lot of times until you know what's going on afterward or when they have...

How old is she? Still young? It sounds to me the illness may still be lingering. Even if her stools are semi-solid or even nearly solid does not mean that the urgency factor may not be an issue. Have you ever had to go after eating something that didn't quite settle right or recovering from a...

Yes, that is exactly how I was trying to describe the worm that I found matted in the fur of this kitten. It was disgusting!! Immediately wormed her as well with several follow up at week intervals to be sure lol. I do recall that nasty head and spade is exactly how to describe it.

Yeah, I highly doubt the other cats will try to kill her especially if she was friendly and known to them before. Of course , there are always risk but at the same time I want my babies to be happy too and some just aren't happy if they cannot set a foot on grass you know. Some are fine but...

Yes, take home to the vet. If he came from a cat colony outside he most definitely has works and you won't always see them in the stool. Roundworms will cause this diarrhea. I'm going through this right now with kittens that I rescued. All of them cleared up after getting on a stable diet and...

Actually, yes so big they can pass out of the kitty. I rescued a little baby kitten once and the roundworm passed literally twice the size of that roundworm. I was horrified when I realized what it was and where it came from. It got matted in her fur around her butt. That is a earthworm though...

Honestly, you need to leave. I wouldn't doubt that if he hasn't touched the cat already he will eventually. And when he does he will be angry and his force could easily seriously inure or kill your kitty. Its just not worth the risk in my opinion and it's not fair to your cat regardless if he...

I completely agree with the post above. It sounds possible that it is the Anal gland secreting the fluid and it will smell pretty bad. It could have became plugged when he had the diarrhea because his stool was soft and not formed. An easy explanation would be that formed stool is essentially...

I rescued a mother with 9 kittens and she is very vigilant and loves them to death and very or I should say overly protective of them. Now that they are older trust me she will be ready for them to be out of her sight lol. I agree with both the posters above. Although, mother cats can be...

Wow, awesome advice ! I had no idea. I think for her I'm going to use regular pumpkin because I think she needs the extra sugar right now from the loss of so many nutrients and water. But for her brothers that have started with the loose stool that's definitely what I'm going to do. I had no...

Yes, I actually had a cat misdiagnosed before as well too from a vet plus a second opinion that wanted to put him to sleep. It is a long story so I won't get into but yea. I know.. I do not have much faith in this particulae vet at the moment or maybe I haven't expressed the severity that her...

Panacur helps with roundworms and some strains of Tapeworms. Tapeworms look like little pieces of rice that you will find in their bedding. Sometimes you may see a segment of the white segment of the tapeworm in their stool or in their rectum moving. Roundworms you typically don't always see but...

Yes, the pumpkin is plain but today I purchased and started Metamucil otc which is a fiber in a powder form or capsule and I have sprinkled on her food (after the vets advice.) She just went (again...) but it actually looks a tad bit bulkier than the straight water stool. Still concerned as it...

Ok. I will try and make this as short as possible. Rescued 9 kittens (and mother). Yes, all from one mother... So, they are relatively small for their age. I believe they are around 10 to 12 wks at this point. They all have been healthy up until about two weeks ago one of them started having...

I know this reply and post is extremely old but I thought I would comment back after reading several comments regarding food and what is and isn't good. First, wet food does NOT cause kidney failure later in life. In fact, a cat that is in renal failure or has any urinary tract issues such as...

It is not by ignorance the vet prescribed Metroconizole instead of a Panacur. Honestly, with personal use, I had better success with using Flagyl than the latter. Maybe he had his own reasons for choosing it. For one, Flagyl also treats all kinds of other bacteria in the digestive tract which...

Use straight saline to flush it out. They should have them in the contact lense section but make sure that it is ONLY saline solution and not regular contact solution for cleaning and storing. It will say Saline On the front. And if you are not sure read the ingredient in the back. That way you...

I'm so glad you found her! I need to really invest in one of those trackers as someone commented. One of mine went missing for nearly over a week once and I about had a heart attack. I found her like 2 blocks away hiding under a vacant shed all scruffed up and skinny. She likes to go far though...

Get old tubs that you store stuff in and make a feeding station with that to keep rain from ruining the food. Just flip it sideways and place the stuff in there. You can actually get an automatic feeder or just a large bowl and fill up pretty full and keep that with fresh water in one of the...
