I have about an 8 week old kitten (rescue so exact age unknown). Took for a vet check. Was dewormed 2/21. Vet said had coccidia and diarrhea. Put him on meds. Called vet since he struggles to defecate and is now not eating. Put him on an appetite stimulant/vitamin. He has only had one dose of...
Thank you for your reply and offer but I did locate one about 2 hours round trip. They could not even find any inflammation. Though she did mew as they played around with it. They said most likely a small pull or sprain. Some ice about 10 mins a couple times a day will make sure it does not...
I rescued a wee little kitten that someone had dumped on the highway outside my work a week ago. The vet checked her out, but she is too young for shots. He wanted to wait for a dewormer since she was a bit traumatized and underweight. She is scheduled for her dewormer next week.

My poor wee Miagi passed away late last night. It happened so quickly. Had kept him warm with a heating pad, managed to get some chicken broth into him, kept up with the Pedialyte and he improved. Was responsive, purring when cuddled and not acting at all like he was in pain. Then, less than a...
He was your baby and there is no proper way to feel. I am currently on vigil with a very ill 5 month old and am in tears fearing if he'll make it. We love them and we grieve when we lose them. As it should be, no matter how others who don't understand our bond may think.
Give yourself time to...
I am so sorry for you loss. It is sad fact of life that we usually outlive our beloved pets. Know that it is alright to grieve. He was a part of your family and don't let anyone tell you "he was just a cat" or make you feel as if you shouldn't grieve for him.
I recently was asked to foster a 6 week old kitten, who we named Blizzard. We had him four days and all was well but upon waking up on day 5, he was unresponsive. Rushed him to the vet and he had liver failure. Had been playing, eating, drinking and fine only 24 hours prior.
Now, my little...
Used Frontline with success years ago but when I adopted two kittens that turned out to be flea infested (cats are indoor only so no issues prior) it did not work at all. I switched the cats to Advantage II and that works for them. Once the pup came, Frontline did nothing for her either. They...
Cats have their own things at times. I adopted two from a hoarder situation that I have now had for 3 years and one of them just last month finally came to me for pets. It wasn't that he did not like us or anything, he was just very unsure about human touch.
The petting can sometimes...
Well you're doing quite well. You've taken her in, given her all she needs and a nice quiet place for her to bring her babies into the world. Other than checking in on her from time to time, nature needs to do the rest.
Keep us updated! and hoping all goes smooth for you and your new kitty.
