    Kitten: Spinal injury, ear mites, mysterious ear rashes

    We put him down yesterday. Just an awful, awful feeling. We miss him so much. The vet thought it was FIP, and a specialist she spoke too seemed to agree, and recommended we euthanize him. His neurological signs were progressing. I'd been spoon feeding him the last few weeks, over the weekend...

    Kitten: Spinal injury, ear mites, mysterious ear rashes

    He is doing worse - with some extreme neurological symptoms. The vet did some blood work on the weekend because she suspects the dry version of FIP. She's faxing the results to a FIP specialist. I thought the spinal injury was causing some of these symptoms, but apparently there is an...

    Kitten: Spinal injury, ear mites, mysterious ear rashes

    Thank you all for your comments. I don't think things are looking good for the little boy. Over the last week and a half he's slowed down a lot on eating. He has stopped eating dry food, and although he's excited when I open up a can of food in the morning, he doesn't eat much. He follows me...

    Kitten: Spinal injury, ear mites, mysterious ear rashes

    I have been giving little kitty ear treatments with DE. His ears DO seem to be looking better, but I think something else awful is ailing him now. The rash above has turned into a blackish gray scab. He's also lost some hair above his eye, which is also turning into a gray scab. He has some...

    Kitten: Spinal injury, ear mites, mysterious ear rashes

    Thank you both - maybe I'll try DE and use a little mineral oil to clean out his ears. If that doesn't work I will inquire about Revolution  - I've read about that... Where do I get mineral oil anyway?

    Kitten: Spinal injury, ear mites, mysterious ear rashes

    Kitten is still hanging in there.  He seems to be walking around a lot more, although unsteadily.  But since whatever happened to injure him, he hasn't wanted to play, and isn't interested in play, even if I dangle a shoelace near his front paws. Does anyone have experience with injured...

    Kitten: Spinal injury, ear mites, mysterious ear rashes

    Hi everyone, He is doing pretty much the same - but I'm trying to establish somewhat of a routine for him. He is eating and drinking, dry and wet food. However not as much on his own as before his injury. I've found that once I get him into a comfortable place, I can spoon feed him canned food...

    Kitten: Spinal injury, ear mites, mysterious ear rashes

    I was treating my kitten for ear mites the last two weeks and noticed he was acting like a completely different cat. He meowed constantly and only wanted to be held in my arms, he lost his energy and slept all day, and had trouble passing stools. Most alarming, his back legs weren't working so...
