Hi all, I've been fostering kittens for a few years but this is my first mama cat + kittens experience. I've had them since they were 2 weeks old (they will be 4 weeks old on Monday) ~I've been weighing them every day and doing a tiny bit of supplement feeding on the smaller ones ~mama cat's...

I wish I had advice. What a terrible situation. I think the most important thing to do is isolate Petey for now so that you can get Monkey out of the rafters. Make sure she is not sick from not drinking or eating. After that, I'd keep them separate and start from scratch. I've seen Jackson...

I know this thread is a year old but I am just baffled! Exactly what you described - a 180 degree change - happened! So, my first ever foster kitten litter was over 3 years ago. It was 4 bottle babies around 4 weeks old. I named 2 of them Azteca and Inka. Azteca was a boy and he was the...

Hi, I have a new foster cat and she does not seem to like any wet cat food unless it contains fish.  I was fine with this bc I found a food she loves (Soulistic) but then looked it up online and found that it contains a synthesized Vitamin K supplement that is toxic in certain doses.  So, I...

Thanks to those of you who responded. 50 weeks after I posted, this, I put my dear T'ai down.  In December 2015, he had peed everywhere while I was at Thanksgiving on the East Coast.  He was diagnosed with beginning stage kidney disease.  I did nothing but add a few more litterboxes and bowls of...

I looked into the Hill's food.  It is mostly corn and soy.  I can't do that - especially with his pancreatitis.   There is only one homeopathic "support" treatment out there (Pet Wellbeing) for hyperthyroidism.  Since the condition is actually a benign tumor, I am going to stick with the meds...

I am sorry you are struggling with this.  It's making me cry bc it is very much like the process I went through with my dog (RIP Sierra).  It took a 4th vet to finally do an ultrasound and diagnose abdominal Lymphoma.  I was going to do palliative care for the weekend and P (her) TS Monday but...
