Day 9 1/2 now of antibiotics and my foster mama finally has an appetite. I’ve made a few warm boxes for her to nest in. My resident cats are sick and getting the steam treatment but one seems to be getting better already and one worse. Both are still active and have good appetites though so I...
I am in the midst of a snowstorm so my local shelter is not open or staffed for vet care at the moment so I’m coming here for advice. My pregnant foster cat came to me quite ill with sneezing and sticky eyelids. She got worse and I was able to call in a round of amoxicillin which she is on day...
mama and babies doing well! Everyone survived and is thriving. Unfortunately her stool sample came back positive for giardia so we are trying to clear that up with meds. It may explain her weakness during labor.
Updating incase others are in the situation. She had a bag of waters hanging out for over an hour and was not pushing much. She was acting more lethargic so I rushed her to the shelter where the vet was working today. They took her in straight away for a c-section. She was a bit aggressive...
Hi! I was hoping to pick your brain for a little bit. My queen was laboring last night, i noticed around 1:30am. She also has Gairdia which i recently learned after bringing in a sample. She kept pooping with her contractions but cleaning it up. Around 3:30 i decided this could go on a...
I’m glad to see the site is back up!
Mama is doing so much better! I think she was malnourished and eating whatever she could find. Her poops are back to normal! I’ve been giving her a can of food mixed 50/50 with pumpkin and the lysine over 2 servings and she has been eating it all along with...
Two gingers so far. 1st one delivered well. 2nd one about 15 minutes later. The second one is cleaned off, nursing, moving, but placenta not yet delivered. Mom is cuddling #1 and resting with her eyes closed now. It’s been about 20 minutes since #2 came. I can feel at least 1 more in her belly.
She was being loved by my daughter and when she got off her lap there was a big snotty glob that was dark greenish in color. Could this be the mucus plug? Any guess as to when she will start labor? She went to the litter box after and then bathed herself. Looks clean back there now. Hoping it’s...
I buy local raw honey and do have a big jar on hand. We have it in plenty around here. I live in Buffalo, NY which is near Niagara Falls right near the Canadian border.
What about raw cows milk? I have a farmer friend who says her cats drink it.
I bought the raw Manuka honey because I’ve...
Is manuka honey safe for cats? I give to my human children whenever they are sick.
she didn’t go for the pumpkin. 1 of my 2 permanent cats enjoyed it though! I am going to try mixing some wet food with the pumpkin and see how she does with that. The poop after the goats milk was messy and got...
You’re probably right about it being non related. She came from a small private rescue that posted her picture because someone had took her in and needed help connecting to a foster. I called my local shelter today about possibly taking her into their foster program but I have not heard back. I...
