Simone is about 2 years old.. She was a very young pregnant stray brought into the local shelter, lost her kittens due to distemper as they tell it, then adopted 2 orphaned kittens there and nursed them. I adopted her after those kittens were weaned and have had her a little under a year and...
It may sound funny, but I'm a little worried about my kitty's bad breath. I notice it when she yawns and even while she's licking herself there's kind of an odor and then the odor gets on her coat from her mouth/saliva. Otherwise, she's fine, great appetite and weight, no trouble eating, no...
Thanks so much. What do you think of this Woolite product?:

My new kitty peed on a pile of clothing in a back room a while ago - just dealing with it now. She doesn't do that anymore, but just wondering what's the best way to wash the clothing? Should I buy some type of extra-strong laundry detergent or add a little CLorox to the water? They are old...
Thanks for your reply :) Well, some of the butter landed on Simone's lower neck as well as the back, so it's still a little sticky there where she can't reach around. I'm glad to hear a little butter won't hurt her, but thinking I should try to get it off somehow. The vet tech suggested Dawn...
I accidentally spilled a little melted (cooled) butter on my cat's back last night.. Today, the vet said to get some Dawn (which they put on birds to get oil off) at the store, but when I went, all they had was Dawn Ultra and stuff with heavy fragrance, no plain Dawn, so I got something else...
Well, thanks for the advice, but no luck.:( I warmed up the fluid bag in a bowel of warm water, but I guess it's just the sensation of water under the skin that makes her jump.. I just can't get her to sit still. Have tried it in various places, on her favorite piano bench cushion, chair...
Can someone please help with how to give a cat subq fluids by yourself? I was trained at the vet's, but my kitty just jumps and runs when I put the needle in at home.. She's not eating the last couple days much and am desperate now. How do you keep them still to do it alone? I have no one to...
Thanks, all, for your helpful feedbac!. The vet just said some elderly cats get slow-growing brain tumors, so that might be the problem, but he wasn't sure..
That's so interesting about the sodium nitrites! I know I can't eat cold cuts or anything without having neurological symptoms...
Sometimes my kitty gets what seems like muscle spasms/seizures. She'll suddenly get very stiff and walks around very wobbly, and occasional her whole body seems to contort with spasm, though she's not grinding her teeth or anything like that as in what I've heard happens with full seizures. ...
Gwen hadn't been throwing up on a regular basis until a few days ago, so my on-line vet said now's probably the time to start subq fluids. Can one person do that or do you need someone else to help? He said Metoclopromide (Reglan) isn't indicated unless my patient has delayed gastric...
