Hi all,
I have a year old Abyssinian. He recently went for his first annual and I was told he was slightly overweight at 11.4 pounds and that he should be more around 9-10. I used to feed him one 2.8 ounce can of tiki cat a day and free fed him hills science diet dry food. The vet suggested I...
Thank you guys for the response! I figured it would be fine but wanted some other opinions. @mizzely they say that grain free is being linked to health issues later in life. I've looked up some studies myself and I'm beginning to suspect this mainly pertains to dogs rather than cats, but I...
Hi everyone!
I've been searching for a while now for an answer to this question and coming up flat so I figured I'd ask you knowledgeable cat parents!
My kittens will be making the switch over to adult food next month, they will both be a year old and I'm searching for food brands. I found a...
Hi Kburns,
I'm actually in the same exact boat as you right now except my kitten is older and this has been going on for 4 months (i just made a post to ask the members about it). I took her to the vet though, and they said asthma in a kitten so young is very rare (which is good because asthma...
Hi all,
I have a 10 month old kitten who has been coughing at least once a day for the last 4 months. I brought her to the vet fearing it might be asthma, but they told me it's extremely rare for a kitten to develop an asthma issue. She suggested it may be some sort of acid reflux so I gave her...
I just wanted to give you all an update on the little one's condition-
I took her to the vet yesterday and he suspects that it's a bacterial upper respiratory infection. She is now on a stronger antibiotic (the other one wasn't meant to treat something like this so that makes a lot more sense...
Thank you all for your replies! Knowing that a community of cat lovers is here to help is so comforting.
@josiegirl I've been feeding her Blue Buffalo Kitten Chicken Patte, and her dry food is Fromm Game Bird recipe. I tried giving her Loki's wet food instead of the Blue Buffalo, he eats...
@Raevyn did you ever determine what it was that made the little one sick?
I'm extremely concerned and am on the fence right now about bringing her to the animal hospital, her eye has started to swell a bit and is red and inflamed. I just fed her lunch though and she ate the whole thing.
@josiegirl thank you so much for sharing your story with me. It does put me at ease that they can coexist and both live happy healthy lives eventually. I'm so sorry for the passing of your fur baby. ☹
The little one seems very ill today, I've had to wipe away yellow discharge from her eyes...
Thank you for the link and the well wishes...
I'm so concerned about the little one now, we just fed her dinner and noticed some discharge around her eyes and her nose. It's so incredibly frustrating that we've been doing everything right and it feels like she may be getting worse. The vet told...
Hi all!
This is my second post here, I wanted to post again to see if anyone has any experience with my current situation and can share their stories.
Quickly to recap- I have had a 7 month old Abyssinian kitten (Loki) for about 3 months. We just adopted a 3 month old kitten (Shiva) from our...
Thank you so much for the advice! I think I'm going to run to the store now and try the tuna juice.
Do you think it would be beneficial to them to start introducing them via sight as she recovers? My husband had the brilliant idea that I could put Shiva in the glass shower so Loki can see her...
Hello everyone!
This is my first time posting here, it's nice to meet you all.
So, where to begin. Ugh I'm so worried.
About 3 months ago we adopted an Abyssinian cat (Loki) from a breeder. Hes about 7 months old now and he usually is a crazy eater, he will consume anything and everything...
