    10-week-old Kitten, High Fever, Won't Eat

    She didn't get Convenia and she's not on any NSAIDS, either. I'm not familiar with Convenia, nor do I know if we have it in Greece but I will look it up just to be sure, thank you. Thank God she didn't aspirate. She went downhill really fast and right after I administered it, so I thought for...

    10-week-old Kitten, High Fever, Won't Eat

    We confirmed it today. She does have calicivirus and now so does the foster kitten, yay. He seems to be having a slightly better time with it, maybe because he's a little older. I have three more cats who are vaccinated but I read that they can get it, too? I'm especially worried about Earl...

    Feeding A Grazer And A Piggy

    I have a grazer and a piggy, too. I give them three meals a day: one before I leave, one after I come home and one before I go to bed. Cardo used to want to sit there and examine her food first, look at it from all sides, smell it, smell it some more, take another look, experimentally barely...

    10-week-old Kitten, High Fever, Won't Eat

    I actually have no idea, I didn't catch the name. All I know is that he was planning on giving her something else but then he saw how little she is and he opted for this one because it would be easier for her to handle. I'll ask him tomorrow. Edit: I just noticed that her breathing is better...

    10-week-old Kitten, High Fever, Won't Eat

    She hasn't been diagnosed yet, no. She has to go back tomorrow to get another shot and the vet thought that since there was no other reason to rush her in today and she got so stressed yesterday, it would be better if waited to confirm it during the appointment. But he also said it's calicivirus...

    10-week-old Kitten, High Fever, Won't Eat

    KMR was what I wanted to get her, too, but the vet was out. I was worried I'd have to force her (she generally doesn't like cat food, I'm pretty sure she ate leftovers before I found her) but she lapped it up herself. I just thought that a can is way too little but then I noticed that she ate...

    10-week-old Kitten, High Fever, Won't Eat

    Hi, thanks for asking. I called the vet this morning to see if I could take her in and he said that there were no anti-inflammatories for such a young kitten but I could take her in for an appetite stimulant if she wouldn't eat. She is better today, though. She's way less lethargic, she moves...

    10-week-old Kitten, High Fever, Won't Eat

    Update: I just woke up to find that she is now limping and refusing water. She is more alert, she's grooming but she won't even look at food and she's not drinking. I gave her some water with a syringe and we're going back to the vet as soon as they open in 3 hours. Google tells me that she has...

    10-week-old Kitten, High Fever, Won't Eat

    I'm not in the US. By the time I started to worry, he was already closed and he'd just tell me to go back in the morning, which I will do. There are no emergency vets here, either, so all I can do is wait until the morning. She does seem a bit better now, though. She got up and drank water and...

    10-week-old Kitten, High Fever, Won't Eat

    I'm back with another sick kitten. This time it's a kitten I rescued from a car engine about a month ago. She was in a foster home until last night when they brought her back with some amoxicillin. Apparently, she had a cough since day one and their vet kept telling them that it was from the...

    11-year-old Cat Threw Up, Won't Let Me Touch Her

    In Greece there's this -perhaps erroneous- idea that cats should not be shaved unless absolutely necessary because they stress out too much if they're missing their fur. In my case, it's because Cardo is indoors-outdoors, so she'll freeze in this winter and because she's a senior, there's no...

    11-year-old Cat Threw Up, Won't Let Me Touch Her

    I try to brush her but she doesn't tolerate it very well. She won't let me get anywhere near her underside, her legs and her butt. Basically, I brush part of her back and her face, which accomplishes nothing but she likes to rub against the brush. The problem was that we took forever to figure...

    11-year-old Cat Threw Up, Won't Let Me Touch Her

    He couldn't find anything wrong with her. He felt her stomach and he did an ultra-sound, just to be sure, he didn't find anything. He figured it was a hairball and she got rid of it last night. He told me to keep giving her the malt paste rather than the vaseline since I have it and to plant...

    Christmas Tree Question

    I have a 6ft tree that has these stupid, countless branches that I have to place on it one by one. I have a five-month old kitten, a three-month-old and a two-month-old (bountiful season, lol) and as I was putting up the tree with the approximately 448 branches and 890985 ornaments (none that...

    11-year-old Cat Threw Up, Won't Let Me Touch Her

    We have an appointment in about an hour. She's definitely fine, though, and she even did me a favor and pooped next to the litter box today, so I know it's hers because she refuses to use a litter box that's already been used by the little ones, lol. She was definitely not constipated, I guess...

    11-year-old Cat Threw Up, Won't Let Me Touch Her

    Hahaha, let's say that she is... particular as a cat. She is cuddly and affectionate but she's also stubborn and she has to have things her way. And she has a big mouth, too, she doesn't growl or hiss but she has these ways of meowing and it sounds like she's hurling insults, which is hilarious...

    11-year-old Cat Threw Up, Won't Let Me Touch Her

    We have a huge yard in the building and there's a tall cypress tree, surrounded by tall, thick bushes and she hides underneath and fertilizes them, there's no way I'll be able to see. I've tried to follow her before, when she first started going outside, and not only did it not work, she also...

    11-year-old Cat Threw Up, Won't Let Me Touch Her

    She is happier outside but she doesn't go to a place where I can follow, otherwise I'd do that. Maybe I need to let her out where she can also eat some grass, though and if she's constipated, we'll see it tomorrow at the vet, anyway, right? Poor thing has been growling to go out. She only goes...

    11-year-old Cat Threw Up, Won't Let Me Touch Her

    I'm considering taking her in today, too, but there are no emergency vet here and she's doing a lot better now. She's in a much better mood, she doesn't seem to be in pain, she's running around and she's very insistently asking me to let her out, which hopefully means she wants to go. I want her...

    11-year-old Cat Threw Up, Won't Let Me Touch Her

    I'm posting again rather than editing my post, hoping for some advice. Last night she had dinner, she tolerated that, but after that I gave her a treat, some malt paste (which I luckily bought accidentally thinking it was going to be a cheese-flavored paste I coat their pills with, lol) and she...
