Hi everyone, I hope this is the right forum to post this. I am starting the process of looking for a new kitten to adopt and I came across a couple at the shelter today. I have never adopted a cat from a shelter, my last kitten was purchased from a lady who was selling from her home. I really...

Thank you all for your thoughts and wishes, I truly do appreciate them. These past few weeks and days have been the absolute hardest in my life and I am still grieving. But everyday my grief turns more to joy at the memories I had with Brodie. Brodie had a profound effect on my family. He...

I really dreaded making this post. As each week went by I began accepting the possibility that Brodie might have dry FIP. Of course I didn't want to believe it. I kept thinking he just had a very bad strain of calicivirus or some other virus and that his pneumonia would take time to get over...

Thanks for following up @mrsgreenjeens!! I made a newbie mistake and started a new thread to talk about Brodie's updates lol. I should have just continued here but anyway this is the new thread: Update On Kitten With Uri (now Pneumonia) Brodie is definitely getting there but he is not 100% back...

Thank you for your thoughts @margd !! Brodie has an appointment with the internal medicine specialist this upcoming Thursday the 15th. I'm assuming they will be doing the tracheal wash then and I will definitely provide an update. So Brodie started back up on his prednisolone 2 days ago. He is...

Thanks for your suggestions and comments regarding the medications. Sometimes it's so tough deciding what to do since you hear about possible side effects but then you are hoping that the vet's are prescribing medication only if they believe the benefit will outweigh the potential risks...

Hi everyone, My original post regarding my kitten Brodie is here: Cat Fever - Lethargic And Minimal Eating I wanted to provide an update on Brodie's health. Brodie was hospitalized for 2 nights and 3 days because he had a severe URI and had stopped eating and drinking. On Friday the 26th the...

Just wanted to provide an update. I took Brodie to his regular vet yesterday and they decided the best thing to do would be to hospitalize him for 2 days since he wasn't eating or getting better. His eyes were becoming red and swollen so he will need an eye ointment. I had a tough time sleeping...

I just gave him a mixture of warmed up royal canin recovery food and chicken baby food on his dish. He seems to be eating it so I just hope this lasts.

@pushylady he is still eating very little. He pretty much only eats when I hand feed him and even then it takes a lot of patience. I just bought some Pedialyte and was planning on giving it to him via syringe. I read that cats can sometimes aspirate if liquids are given to them via syringe which...

Thank you for the suggestions! I was able to find some 'chicken with broth' and 'beef with broth' baby food at my local grocery store which was nice since most of what I saw contained potatoes and/or vegetables along with the meat. I'm hoping this helps increase his appetite.

Thank you @mrsgreenjeens. I truly appreciate the well wishes. I did tell the ER vet that Brodie was already on Clavamox. His regular vet said that taking Clavamox and AZithromycin together is fine so I am going to start him on the new antibotic today. Since Brodie is being finicky with his...

Hi everyone, I apologize for the long post ahead! I took my 6 month old cat Brodie to the emergency vet on Jan 1st because I was concerned about his breathing rate. The vet said that he had a slight fever but that he was not showing any other symptoms (lack of energy, change in appetite...
