I can't say much about all the rest (age, spaying and so on) but the lump after the rabies vaccine happened to my cat. Same size, same place. My vet said it was relatively common, and that that's why they do that particular vaccine on the hip/leg area, so owners can keep an eye on it. She said...

Hi! So I have this question about my cat... Every time I put her in her carrier (it's a soft carrier with a mesh door) she tries to get out by headbutting it really hard, to the point where she rubs her nose raw. It becomes red, then over a few days scabs over, turns brown, then heals over a...

The title doesn't fit very well anymore! They've been gaining more weight since I stopped trying to feed the dry food - I'm pretty happy about it! My question now is do I separate kittens who are play fighting a little too roughly? The smaller kitten, Mint, can be quite rough with her big...

I hope so too! They're gaining weight, but not as much as I'd hope, so I really hope this will pass. And I guess it's normal, but my previous fosters just felt more sturdy somehow. Though of course they had their mom. I was wondering if occasionally giving them adult cat wet food would be ok...

Two kittens, 6 weeks-ish. I'm not sure I'll be fostering more with them, just because kittens stay until 12 weeks minimum (that's one thing I like about them), and by then I'll be finishing my degree and maybe moving :) I do mix in kibble, but they eat a lot less of it if I put more than 1/3...

Stools are still soft, more, um, mushy guacamole than toothpaste, but I haven't spotted anymore blood so that's good. I cut down on the kibble mixed with the wet food, and was just reprimanded by the rescue. They've been sending messages like "they're big kittens now, you have to wean them off...

Could a mama cat in that situation be given egg yolks? I remember doing that for mine when fostering her and her kittens - and she didn't like wet food either.

The poop isn't worrying me so much as the blood and the abrupt change. Smecta is a commonly prescribed antidiarrhoeal in France. Googling brings up "Diosmectite, an activated natural aluminosilicate clay consisting of a double aluminium and magnesium silicate, is an adsorbent widely used for...

I'm attaching photos of the change from day two to day three. Also the kittens, to make up for the poop photos (Black and white big sis is Coriander, little sis is Mint, their other siblings are Basil, Rosemary, and Chives)

So the vet also said that as long as they are acting normal, they don't have to come in, just to keep an eye on them. I'm still worried though, as I won't be home till late today... They keep saying it's because of the heatwave, but it's always about 25.5 celcius (78 fahrenheit) indoors, and...

Yes, I saw the other thread. But the blood was on the surface and brighter red so I thought it might be something different. It's frustrating because I called the rescue first thing today, and sent them pictures of the poop, and they tell me they're not worried because it's probably just the...

Hi! So I fave a few question about these two kittens I'm fostering. It's past midnight where I live and I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm trying to figure out if I should make arrangements to leave my keys with someone so a friend can take the kittens to the vet if need be. I'm fostering...

(accidental double post, so I thought I'd replace it with some more pictures :) )

Unfortunately that didn't end up happening- the rescue decided not to risk any kind of illness, so they're in quarantine for now. The two girls are surprisingly friendly, but the boy's still a little shy. Anyways, mine are 2 months now, it's getting harder and harder to weigh them but they've...

My cat had a similar situation recently, a neck wound (bite from mating) that didn't heal properly for months, and she scratched and licked until she opened up a third open wound beneath it. It was also around her neck like part of a collar. Sarthur's advice is usually really good so I think...
