Thank you all so much for the kind words, it means a lot. She has responded really well to the meds, no side effects as of now, and has started eating again, little by little. She's peeing a lot but so far no bowel movements, which I assume is normal since she's eating so little and...

Thank you! Ended up taking her to a clinic. They took a blood test and found signs of an infection. They weren't able to get any secretion from the abcess so it might not even be caused by a local, subcutaneous infection but something else. They can't diagnose the exact cause yet because she's...

Sorry for the late update! About a week ago we took her to the vet. She agreed that it looked like an abcess brought on by either a bite or a hit to the face. She took a blood test which didn't show anything abnormal, but still prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflamatory medication for a week...

We haven't been able to take her to a vet yet. Gas is really expensive right now and the closest vet is still a bit far away. Most vets offer visiting the house for checkups but again, very expensive. We're still monitoring her. Her eye tears up a bit because of the swelling but there are no...

Sorry for not updating! There haven't been any other symptoms or signs besides the swelling. We were told by a vet a long time algo she may have chronic rhinitis. She has always sneezed relatively frequently, since years before the lump. As of recently it has calmed down, it's mostly seasonal...

Thanks for the link! That might be it. I'll check in with my parents to see if we can bring her in for a vet visit. I'll keep the thread updated!

I understand! I check the lump every day and watch for any signs of infection, but so far whatever it is seems self contained. I haven't seen pus or other fluids come from the eye or nose. Will definitely ask for vet input. I'm just looking to see if anyone had any clue on what it could...

Hello everyone! Came here for some advice/guidance regarding one of our cats. She's an outdoor cat, only comes to our house to eat. We spayed her back in April since she was getting too old to keep getting pregnant. She must be about 8 years old. A week ago we noticed a lump on her face, right...

Asked about antibiotics and the vet suggested amoxicillin as a preemptive measure to avoid any secondary infections! I checked and found an amoxicillin pediatric suspension which could've been perfect but it expired in 2019. What a bummer. I'll ask my parents to buy some whenever they can. I...

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'll attach a pic of the sore in Little Roll's tongue. It seems like it's bleeding a bit? Graphic warning, obviously. His sore definitely looks a bit worse than the one Fluffy has. Hers isn't reddened at all, it looks exactly like a canker sore. Still, if there's...

Hey everyone! It's been a while. Kittens were doing well for the most part up until now and were due to get their shots in about a week or so! Here's the situation: about 3 days ago it was feeding time for them and I was surprised to see that one of them didn't eat as usual. She took a very...

I believe the standard here for spay/neuter surgery is around 6 months of age or so! I'll do more research on it just to make sure.

Thanks for replying! I do plan on spaying and neutering them as soon as they're old enough to be eligible for surgery. There's a nonprofit organization in my state that routinely does spay/neutering campaigns so I will keep an eye out for that. I haven't had any luck with finding wet food, it's...

Sorry for not updating this thread further! Things have been very busy around here. Kittens are doing wonderfully! No further problems since their illness last month. Turning 4 months in a couple of weeks! They've been on a steady diet of dry food, and they're drinking water on their own too...

Quick update! Kittens finished their antibiotic treatment course today. They all look much better, playing and eating much more than they did before. Haven't seen any further problems with their stool either. They look great! I've found that blending rice and chicken in a high power blender...
