Thanks for bringing attention to the fact that she may not be well due to not going into heat. I had no idea. I really wish I'd been able to spay sooner, as it adds extra uncertainty/risk with every issue they may experience. Actually from reading on the forums and elsewhere I've realized...

Very interesting, thanks for sharing that. That seems like it could actually be the case because Kelly (one of the kittens) is also a bit hostile towards Bob, but generally she growls at him only right after her mom gets in an argument with Bob. It seems like she is defending her mom, which is...

I have 5 cats: 2 neutered males (brothers) approximately 5 years old: Bob & Jimmy 1 unspayed female approximately 2 years old, Nala, who is a mother to: 2 unspayed female kittens, Mary & Kelly, exactly 1 year old (they turned 1 about 10 days ago) First off, the unspayed cats are all going to...

They weren't sure, but she had signs of an infection, mainly a low grade fever. I took her to the vet initially because she had stopped eating and nursing her kittens, her ears were feeling hot and she was panting. At the vet they did xrays and bloodwork, and the only odd thing was she seemed...

I'm not a doctor/vet but about 3 years ago one of my cats got a hard lump at the site of one of his vaccines. The vet at the time suspected it was a fibrosarcoma. He said we should just monitor it during that time. I started giving him turmeric in his food. I got some capsules that were just...

Oh really interesting thanks a lot for sharing that. That's challenging with chicken since it's in almost every cat food. But I have some rabbit and duck, I'll give those a try.

I have 5 cats. All 5 are fed the same food. But 1 kitten occasionally has loose stools, scoots and now seems to be having residue on her butt. I took her to the vet just a few days ago and her anal glands were not impacted. I don't suspect worms because the cats all share litter boxes and I...

Sorry for your loss. Terribly sad thread. They wanted to give this to my nursing cat when she had an infection while she was nursing baby kittens! I refused after doing a quick google search and realizing there's no way to stop the treatment after it's been injected (sort of like those...

I wanted to share an update and had one last question. The kittens are doing great! They're 81 days old now, roughly 11.5 weeks. They weigh roughly 3lbs each. Very playful and active, jumping on things, chasing each other etc. They're on good quality dry food now, though they do still...

Thank you all soooo much! I would have never expected the possible urine smell and windex on the floor to be the culprit. Earlier this afternoon I took them to the vet again because their appetites had declined again and they were not drinking any water (and primarily on dry kibble). Was...

Thanks a lot for sharing this, good to know that those symptoms can indication blockage. Still I don't think they're blocked as they've been peeing/pooping now, and not vomiting, just not eating much. And only eating dry kibble, very little of it. Also the reason I don't suspect blockage is...

Thanks all really appreciate the care here, I don't know what I'd do without your help! I actually realized I don't think it's the Windex. I had used it a few times before weeks ago without issues. I've figured out the issue by going back through the days and trying to remember what I did...

Thanks a lot. I wish the vets would care an ounce as much as members of this forum. At least this has been helpful to be able to post here. They did provide all the tests after I demanded to get copies. They did blood tests too. But initially they'd said they would email me the results...

They're not foaming at the mouth, just one cat vomited clear and occasionally foam. I never set poison for the roaches, but it's possible the previous tenant had. Thanks, I appreciate just being able to talk this through with someone. These 2 male cats are literally my life, my only family...

And the kicker is, they say he’s blocked due to stress!? So me bringing him to the vet does what? It gives him more stress. This has me so upset. I may just leave and not get the tests, as the more we wait here the more it gives him stress.
