Ps: the fluids seems to have really helped, she just text me and said he went home, sipped some broth and ate some food! :)

Hi ya, thank you for your reply. It was really niggling me that he lost his appetite so I gave the vet a call. They had us bring him back in. His fever has gone up to 105.2. His weight was 3lbs 9.5oz yesterday and was  3lbs 8oz today. The vet said, although he would have liked to see the fever...

Ok he's now lost interest in food .. could this be a side effect of the antibiotic as in humans? 

Thank you for your replies. I talked to her this morning, still no real improvement, just curling up and sleeping. He's only had 3 doses of the antibiotics so far tho. He's still eating/drinking and using the tray.  No changes in the environment, but then he's only been there a few week. They...

A friend of mine recently took in a small kitten estimated to be around now, 8 weeks. A normal bouncy kitten, until yesterday he became very lethargic suddenly. For various reasons she can't afford the vets right now so I had her bring him to my vets and I'll deal with that side of things. He's...

Yup, I've tried all kinds of tried I can think of.. only putting a tea spoon amount down at a time in case he was wolfing too much, mixing it in with the actual kibble, trying different brands, different flavours. I've even tried straight cooked chicken I've prepared my self! I think he has...

Thanks everyone. Well he's home, he's on Baytril once a day for the infection and Diazepam twice a day to help him actually go. I told them my reservations about the science diet (part of it is what you mention, it's full of crap! but I didn't mention that part heh) but because he is just...

Thanks for the reply.  Well he finally pee'd over night and he does have a infection, so the vet has started him on antibiotics. He also wants to put him on science diet. Urgh, I was really hoping he wouldn't want to do that because I know it's going to start him puking. I spent so long and so...

You know,  Winston LOVES to drink out of flowing water, but sometimes I wonder just how good these things are because they get SO gunked up quickly and they have SO many knooks and crannies that black mold grows in, even inside the actual pump, you have to pull that sucka to bits and get right...

Let me preface this with saying Murphy is currently at the vets. I just want to talk to people who have had this problem and see what outcomes/treatments were. About 9am Murph started pacing around the house being vocal, not out of the blue for him, he's a bit of a gobby cat, normally it's when...

I wasn't really sure where to put this as the behaviour is mostly from my toddler, but the reaction of the cat encourages her! I have a 23 month old toddler and 2, 4 year old cats. Recently my toddler has discovered that wonderful world of her voice and is in the screeching phase. Screeching...

Thanks for your replies I don't think the pregnancy hormones are helping the situation very much lol. I feel really bad for Charlie. He acts like a little bugger and then comes up to me and is all sweet at licks me and it just makes me wanna cry for feeling like he should go. However .. we...

We have had Murphy and Winston since they were 12 weeks old (now 3.5 years) We've never had one problem with them. They are both placid loving cats. Winston is the most laid back gentle cat ever. Fast forward to now. About 3/4 months ago we had a stray start coming round, he was very skinny ...

Thank you all so much for your help. So I wrote down factors you told me and I went and trawled the food isle in pet smart for 40 minutes reading labels .. no wheat, corn or soy, hairball remedy and I decided on one called Blue Buffalo .. it contains none of the above and they had a hairball...

They are all 3. Will hairball food be gentle enough for Charlies belly?
