Fortunately it seems like her bowels still keep everything moving just fine. I feed her Wellness canned kitten food, so hopefully there's enough moisture in that to keep everything soft. She's a very sweet, affectionate little kitten. I'm hoping her youth will give her a good chance at healing...

She's still shaved from the surgery. It would be lovely if there was a way to keep urine from running down her legs when her bladder leaks, but the main problem is the diarrhea. I've been mixing some probiotics for kittens into her food, but she still has some messes every day. Every day seems...

A week ago today, my younger sister saved a small kitten, 8 or 9 weeks old, from certain death in the road. Her tail was in terrible shape, with no movement and much of it necrotic. We got her to the vet immediately and the tail was amputated. She was wormed and tested for the standard diseases...

Thanks to everyone for all this information. I will definitely have a look at the Feline Diabetes message board. To address a specific point: I believe the diagnosis is very preliminary. My cat (his name is Tarzan) has always been very easily stressed out, so that could certainly be a factor...

I have a 5 year old neutered male cat. He's been urinating a lot recently and even vomited a couple of times, so I took him to see the vet today. His blood sugar tested at 411, so he was prescribed insulin injections twice a day for the next 5 days, after which I'll take him back in to check his...

Just a quick follow up: I took her to the emergency vet, but they weren't able to find anything wrong with her. Today she's acting like her old self and playing vigorously. I'll continue to keep my eye on her, but as of right now she's doing very well. Thanks to everyone for the advice.

I'm staying up to keep an eye on her. I started going through the motions of getting to bed to see if she'd go with her regular routine, and she did. However, she still seems almost dizzy and acts like one of her ears is bothering her. I grabbed a flashlight and took a look at both ears, but...

I have a 7 month old kitten who isn't herself tonight. She's been perfectly normal all day, playing with her sister and napping. Tonight, I noticed shewas slightly unsteady on her feet or when she was sitting down, and she seems lethargic. That being said, she did accept a cat treat I offered...

I recently lost a beautiful little cat that I love dearly. One of the things I promised myself was that when I found the right one, I'd bring a new kitten into my life to love in her memory. Just this past week I found that kitten on Petfinder and on July 4th I brought her home.  Her name is...

I think you're probably right. This morning I made him a mouse-on-a-string toy and played with him for a good half-hour. After that he seemed calm and at ease, so it's probably related to him not getting enough interesting play time. I think I'll order some good interactive toys and see which...

Yeah, when he lashes out he'll strike with his claws or lightly bite. He clearly doesn't do it to cause any damage because he never holds on or goes beyond one swat, but it's also clear that he can get angry really quickly. The strange thing with him is how unpredictable he is when it comes to...

I have a gorgeous little orange tabby male named Tarzan. I found him on the side of the road two years ago and had to take him in since I'm a sucker for a kitten in need. He's an extremely loving little fellow, but all his life he's been very jumpy and displays some behaviors I haven't seen...
