    Cat "back End" Odor

    Hello All! My 3-year-old male lilac mixed Siamese, Luka, has an odor from his back end. I only notice it on the front of my shirt after holding him. He doesn't have diarrhea (never has) and is very healthy. I'm wondering if it may be his anal glands. Each and every time I hold him I have to...

    Loose Stools

    Hello, I have 3 adult cats, all indoor. My 10-year old wasn't feeling well (lethargic) and was pooping in the shower each night, loose poop. The vet did a fecal and normal. Blood work normal. Physical exam normal. He said just watch her. Now all 3 have loose stool. Always been normal in past...

    Ear Mites

    Hello! I have a 4-month-old foster kitten and just cleaned her ears with tissue paper. I am attached a photo of the brown that I got out of her ears. She didn't mind me cleaning them. She doesn't scratch at her ears. Do this photo look like ear mite debris to you? If so, I need to get some...

    Cat Stool Not Quite Normal

    Hello, I have three adult cats, the older two are female, 7 years old, and have normal stools. I also have a one-year-old male that doesn't have diarrhea, but his stools are softer and smell bad. They all eat the same food, Max Cat dry and either Sheba wet or Fancy Feast (sometimes the girls...

    Flea on foster kitten - 1.5 lbs

    Oh, not serious at all.  I only saw one flea and the other day actually picked one off of one of them so that may have been it - knock on wood!  I have three cats of my own (one and 2 seven year olds) and they have all been treated with Cheristin.  But I'm keeping a close eye on them because I...

    Flea on foster kitten - 1.5 lbs

    Mom is doing much, much better. You must have this mama kitty confused with another. She had no bowel problems that I know of.

    Flea on foster kitten - 1.5 lbs

    Aha, is that what you call that color?  Yes, the head of the rescue group said they will eventually turn solid black.  She has a solid black long-hair adult male who looked like this as a kitten.  One of the females has solid white toes, chest and tummy so that will stay white but the others...

    Flea on foster kitten - 1.5 lbs

    Thank you! Fortunately all three like warm baths. I had to bathe them when they had diarrhea. I need to get a flea comb.  I will post a pic of them - they are beautiful and very unique in color.

    Flea on foster kitten - 1.5 lbs

    Hello! I'm fostering 3 out of a litter of seven kittens whose mother couldn't feed them.  Mom is now being cared for at the vet and is much healthier and got spayed. My question is what is a safe flea medication to use on kittens this small? Or is there one?  They are about 1.5 to 1.7 lbs. I...

    "Sock" for male kitten to prevent females nursing on him

    I have put him in a pen by himself so they won't bother him.  He's got plenty of room, litter box and bed and toys.  Best solution I could think of.  Thanks!  Good point about being sanitary, etc.  Much better for him to use the box!

    "Sock" for male kitten to prevent females nursing on him

    Hello! I am fostering three bottle babies (7 weeks old now) and there are two females and one male. I've had them in the same pen in my office. They are bottle fed every 5-6 hours (kitten milk replacer mixed with wet kitten food). Just now one of the females was "nursing" on the male. I now...

    Comfortis dosage

    I saw a flea on one of them. So what is safe to use? They are 7 weeks old.  I don't want the fleas to get out of hand.  Another one of my fosters had gone to PetSmart yesterday for adoptions and I think she brought a few fleas home.
