The vet has ruled out parasites (thankfully) after doing 4 very extensive fecal tests. We’ve been giving probiotics including S. Boulardii for a few weeks, but now refuses to eat anything with it mixed. I’ll leave him off of it for a little while to see if there’s improvement. He’s eating a...
I have a 5 month old kitten who’s had chronic diarrhea since I got him. We’ve taken countless trips to vet, went through coccidia treatment, antibiotics, etc, and he still has issues. (It can be really bad).
My vet suggested a diet change, as there may be a food allergen triggering it. He was...
Thanks for the info. Turns out I’ve been giving him a probiotic with S. boulardii already. He’s been taking it for the past 4 days with no improvement so far.
I took him to a specialist referred by my vet, and I’m quite upset. The bill ended up being $1k for two fecal tests (which I haven’t received results for after 2 days) and a prescription for more Albon and a standard dewormer. This is from a board certified vet, what a scam.
Pet insurance won’t...
In short, my 4 m/o kitten has gone from playful to scared when it comes to playing with my older cat.
My older cat (1 yo) Rodger really likes Pierre. He sleeps outside of his room, meows when he can’t find him (he rarely meows), and grooms him very often. I’ve even caught the two cuddling in...
Hi everyone,
My 4 month old kitten has had coccidia for at least the past few weeks. He’s had non-stop diarrhea. It was a nightmare at first because it was explosive (sprayed past the tall litter box to 3 ft up the wall). It also smells absolutely horrible regardless of what I feed him.
I took...
So, unfortunately what started as friendly and rough play has turned into some aggression. Pierre is starting to be more cautious and vocal during their tussles. He will hiss and swipe his paw, but Rodger doesn’t always get the signal.
Sometimes he stops, but Rodger will general proceed to bite...
Thanks for the insight! They’re letting each other rest, and this morning they were calm around each other with only light play. I’ll keep them separate at night for the next week, then see how it goes.
To be clear as I stated originally, Rodger rarely bites me when playing or otherwise. I only play with wand toys, not my hands. The bites I’ve described are when he’s being affectionate and grooming me. The only time he legitimately bites me is when I touch his belly or annoy him, but that’s...
A month ago I adopted great little 3 month old kitten (now 4 months) whom I named Pierre. I isolated him in his room, and followed the slow introduction process. It's gone great so far! My 1 y/o resident cat (Rodger) and he get along, eat together, and even play with one another!
However, as of...
She was stray, had kittens, and sheltered. I believe they were having difficulties getting her adopted, so she was planned to be euthanized. That’s all I know.
