Thank you everyone. I have spayed and neutered them, vaccinated, de-wormed and I am nursing them back from their malnourished state in July. (top grade food and supplements) And, I am using all the behavior techniques everyone suggested. I don't want to risk Pretty Girl's re infesting Baby when...

I'm back again with Pretty Girl and Baby. I had decided to keep Baby indoors only. And he is adjusting, but very slowly as far as my ability to physically handle him. I still need to find him a home, and he is a bunch of fun! His mother, Pretty Girl on the other hand has been unable to adjust...

Yes, brewer's yeast by Lewis Labs offers a wonderful product. (1 tsp per day) It is high in B12. I was taking it for years; my diet may have been lacking it since I am a vegetarian. B12 is predominantly found in meat and that is what cats eat. It is a very important vitamin for cats nervous...

Hi 3rd Name, Happy New Year! (sorry this is long) I had medicated Pretty Girl to calm her down- to relax - start feeling comfortable etc. It worked well, but I only used it three times. I also have to sedate them to 'capture' and transport them to the vet. (Acepromazine didn't work on Baby...

Ho Ho Ho...... Nice approach/method  for a cat that can be handled. Feral  'Baby' still can't be touched. He had tested negative twice for giardia.and  has been doing well with a probiotic. I think this is an intestinal 'distress' problem. Thanks for the info-for future use

I have read so many reviews on the best foods for cats and kittens, but my concern is the kitten's smelly stool. I started probiotics which seem to be helping a bit. The stool is not as 'soft' as it had been a couple of weeks ago, but still not completely formed. I don't believe it is giardia...

Top Red!  Sorry, I never knew s.Boulardii was in brewers yeast! I sometimes take it and gave them some,but I don't know how much to give them.. I think I read I teaspoon twice a day. WebMD and Cornell animal advisory recommend it.

My Baby feral and his mom, Pretty, both tested negative for Giardia, TWICE. I am still doubtful since I know it is often difficult to detect, and the odor and consistency of the stool is typical of giardia. However doubtful I am, I am also trying a change in diet, chicken and rice (like our...

I'm hoping Baby, a feral I am fostering does not have giardia. I am waiting for the results. I thought it could be tapeworm  (although I haven't seen segments). I can't touch him. How many injections of metronidazole would be needed?   And, has anyone succeeded with the liquid form?  We...

Often times there is a veterinarian somewhere nearby that offers his services at a discount. Check for all types of feral/stray/home needed etc. organizations. Once you landed some medical help, you may trap him yourself or call rescue groups to help. I used a tru-catch feral trap. It works...

I know, I'm an idiot for medicating Pretty. I hope the ativan I gave her wears off by this morning. The correct dosage would have sufficed, (.125 mg-.25mg). There is some light to this - she came up to me a few times and sniffed my finger, or hand, she played with Baby quite a bit (she was...

Gave my cat .5 mg ativan 10:00 a m. Now 11:00 p m and she is still wobbling, crying to get up on the window, but knows she can't. Definitely less afraid; came up to me a few times after her day long nap with her kitten (non-medicated) Playful too. Playing with kitten who she has been ignoring...

How much brewers yeast should you give a cat to take as a supplement?

Oh boy , I could've really used your help in July! Thanks. The apartment has the most beautiful yard with a brook, birds, chippys, squirrels, deer etc. They have chosen the bathroom window with a 'bird's eye' view of my feeders. They have free run except for my bedroom which is large and in a...

Do you think the feliway will work on my feral mommy who is having extreme anxiety being indoors. Should I put her in the crate? (if i can). She seemed calmer in there with her kitten the day  after her spay. (friday) She is also eating very little! She is now on the window sill all day, quite...
