There are plenty of great quality dry foods! There are some good threads on google of which ones are good and which are full of bad ingredient. They are a lot more expensive, but there are brands with really good protein sources and do not contain tons of empty calories. He just needs a boost in...
If I’m not mistaken, I believe it was beef but I’m not 100% sure. She gets it from a local butcher. She said it’s happened before and she is completely stopping the raw diet. She’s been a breeder for over 20 years and decided it’s just not best route for the safety of the kittens anymore. It can...
Yes. He was taken to a specialist. The water, meat, and stool was tested and all kittens were infected from his litter. I wouldn’t just assume it was the meat without knowing for sure and getting checked by the vet. Also, the strain of infection they all had(I don’t remember how to spell it)...
Thank you!! He is so sweet and precious! He won’t eat treats either! It’s so weird because my other two go crazy for treats. But he gobbles up wet food. I know he won’t eat it because of the breeder only feeding raw, and after the infection him and his littermates got she stopped the raw and...
I have a 16 week old kitten and he is refusing to eat dry food! When he was about 9 weeks old he got an infection from the raw meat the breeder was feeding him, and he lost quite a bit of weight. Wet food does not have many calories, so it’s important that he eats the dry food to get the...
So it’s been a few days, and she is completely back to normal! She’s eating and she hasn’t had any loose stool in the litter box! I’m relieved! Still not 100% sure why she got like that and vomited so many times like that, but I’m glad she’s back to normal! Maybe the hairball was just way too big
My kitten is 11 months old, and she is pretty small, about 7 lbs. She’s always had hair balls because she grooms our other adult cat as well as herself. She had one pretty large hairball at 3am and literally threw up about 8 times after that within three hours (between 3am and 6am), but nothing...
Okay, one more update!! So I took her in to a different vet for a second opinion because I still didn’t feel good about it and I was worried. So the new vet did an x ray and didn’t find anything but noticed a little inflammation and said the growth plate wasn’t as closed on that paw as it was on...
So, I took her in today. The vet didn’t seem concerned at all. She moved it around, and bent it to make sure it wasn’t bothering her and watched her walk and said it’s notbing to be concerned about. She said she may have been born that way, she just walks further back on her paw pad than the...
That honestly makes me feel better. I hope it’s just a sprain or something. She is really little, so I think maybe jumping on my bed every day is what has irritated her paw. I’m calling the vet tomorrow, hopefully they can give some insight on how to fix it!
