Question to anyone and everyone. I think the tube has clogged since last night. I see people posting about putting Coca Cola down the tube but animals cannot have caffeine, so how does this work exactly without doing harm to the animal? I tried warm water but its not going down and i cannot...
Thank you for your replies! Unfortunately she just threw up a bit of her dinner. I think the last feeding was too much. Going to give her a longer break and try with a much smaller amount. I am hoping this is only a small step backward and not indicative of a bigger trend.
Hello. My 7 year old tabby has been diagnosed with fatty liver after a move to a new house that seemed to stress her too much. She spent 9 days in the hospital but was not eating enough so had a feeding tube placed on day 6. I took her home on Day 9 and have been nursing her since. She...
Thank you so much for your reply. She was a very happy cat, always playing and purring. Also the craziest cat i have ever had. She knew she was here for a good time and not for a long time and she made the best of it. Now it seems she isnt ready to stop playing.
Thank you for your reply. The only precipitating factor in the uveitis has been stress relating to packing. The first episode came after the vaccine, which everyone thought indicated she had leukemia. But she has been tested over 6 times now and nothing. The second episode came shortly after...
Interestingly enough, our other cat does not have any FIP antibodies. She went in for a surgery early this year and they checked her out thoroughly. I know that now all exposed animals develop the disease, but our immune compromised kitten with leukemia also did not have FIP antibodies. (I ran...
She has had eye issues since she was a baby. When she received the leukemia vaccine she presented with uveitis. But she doesnt have leukemia. I took her to every specialist and ran every test but FIP was not found. She randomly presented with uveitis in her first year of life and then it...
A week ago I lost a one year old kitten to leukemia. When we went to the vet, she was so far gone that the vet thought she maybe had a week. After x-raying her abdomen, he thought a few days. In an attempt to give her a few more days (so my husband could return from his trip and say goodbye)...
Has he been tested for leukemia and FIV? I had a kitten with similar issues and she had leukemia. Not to fear monger at all, but if he hasnt been tested, I would do that ASAP. My kitten had liquid in her abdomen, restricting her ability to breath and her heart's ability to pump blood.
My cat has FHV and it has never presented with oral sores. Only ocular issues. Lysine and lactoferrin mixed into her food has helped a lot. There is no definitive test for FHV. Like my cat, yours may have FHV and another issue, which compounds the problems in accurate diagnosing.
Our vet...
Hello all,
I have a 5 year old cat diagnosed with FIP. The very symptoms that led to her diagnosis she has had since she was 4 weeks old. Five years later and she is going strong. I lost a kitten a week ago to very aggressive leukemia so I have turned my attention/obsession to my 5 year old...
Her incision looks great. As long as there is no oozing or bleeding, she is doing just fine. A little licking is ok, just not obsessive. My kitten could not be stopped and she healed perfectly.
She eats dry food and wet food, although i limited her to wet food mixed with tuna water for the first day after the fall. I worry only because the vet was not exactly the most thorough (not our normal vet) and seemed almost scared to look inside her mouth since she was growling so much. Vet...
We stripped his diet down to rice and boiled chicken (which is how we learned he was allergic to rice because his poop would be white with mucus and then regular color inside). Then we started adding thing by thing. Everything is pureed and boiled to make it highly digestible. And i even add...
Have you tried Feliway or CBD oil? I have heard they help a lot with nervous behaviors. Feliway diffuser works well with my cats but have not tried CBD oil yet.
Also, Stella and Chewy's freeze dried is great. My parents had a dog on steroids, etc for allergies and shifted her food to Stella...
