Thank you for the tip! They didn’t do an x-ray, and that’s something I’m now going to ask for when I hear back from the ER Vet. She has been in the ER since early afternoon.

Thank you for the reminder about calling my own vet and seeking out resources other than the ER Vet! I called my personal Vet first thing on Tues, and I was disappointed with my their response/lack of urgency:-(. They weren’t going to make time to see her until next Mon, and that clearly wasn’t...

Thank you! It’s such a scary thing when they’re so young😣

Hey, all. I wanted to see if anyone else has had similar experiences with their kitten or immunocompromised cat. Background: we’ve already been to the emergency vet, and we’re waiting to hear back on a fecal test. She’s on antibiotics for the next 5 days to help with any possible GI-related...

My baby had this a couple years ago, all stress-related too. It also sounds like idiopathic cystitis is your cat’s problem. At the time, my cat who had it, Loki, was living with his adopted-brother, Modi, and even tho they were usually just fine with each other, there was aggression I didn’t...

Just to clarify, you started them on dry food/they’ve always been on try good except for the time you used the Hill’s I/d food?

Thank you for answering that for me😻! The person who gave her to the foster parents told them that her mom was a Maine Coon mix, and while I highly doubted that, I thought for sure that her head shape was a sign that she might be a ‘mix.’ But I had no idea that most cats weren’t mixes in the...

One last photo!

She has such a different head shape than the rest of the cats I’ve cared for! I’m used to round heads and round eyes, and she had such a different shape. An I imagining that?! I might stare at her too much😉!

Hey, all! I rescued this kitten who was orphaned at 4 weeks (she’s now about 10 weeks, a little on the small side), and I was curious about her head shape and how you’d refer to her patterning. Brown tabby with white underbelly?! I don’t know how to refer to her white spots. And is she just a...

Thank you both for the support! They’re getting along a little bit better today, and I think the older kitten is starting to teach Caoimhe when enough is enough *and* Caoimhe is kinda getting the message😻

I’d say all girls too! I had to stare at the second one for a little longer tho—it can get confusing! I see vertical slits close to the anus (female) in all 3, and no circle/dot further away from the anus (male)😊

Any news on your kitten post-vet??

Thank you for your encouragement! I’ve been so worried about Caoimhe, worrying that she’s not going to be ok or won’t know how to ‘cat,’ bc she was orphaned at 4 weeks...and I needed the reminder to give it time!!

Hello, all! I’m curious if anyone has input or advice regarding kitten to kitten intros where one of the kittens wasn’t properly socialized (I.e. adopted at 6 weeks). I adopted a rescue at 6 weeks who’s now 10 weeks, and I recently adopted a now 13 wk old kitten. I’ve had both for a week...
