She’s going to the vet next week so I’ll let you guys know what she says! I agree that it might only be something we could check with X-rays so we may go that route. I just want to make sure it’s not something that will end up troubling her later in life, especially as she’s so young. That’s my...

i Don’t have video yet but once I do I’ll upload it. It’s hard to whip out the phone going down the stairs. But I do plan to see the vet about it. I was just wondering if anybody here might have any clues as to what might be going on.

Here are some images. I’m sorry for the double post. I couldn’t find the edit button.

Hey I’m not sure if this belongs in health or behavior. I chose behavior for now because I don’t think it is strongly affecting my cat. But I’m very curious. So I adopted a stray cat from the backyard in March. Or rather, she adopted us. She had come by for food for 2-3 nights, likely following...

I wanted to update for the curious (because I hate when I find a story and there's no resolution). HE is a SHE and her name is Mira (a spin-off of her previous name, Boromir). This is her while we were waiting at the vet. All she had was irritation and I am happy to report that her bum is...

One of the kittens we took in has a deep red, swollen looking butthole (not sure what else to call it, sorry!) and it's also red and irritated looking on his tail above the hole, too. We have given him two baths with Palmolive in the past week to try and clean him up, but it doesn't seem to be...

I haven't contacted them yet. We have an arrangement with a shop here in town, it's a little mom and pop feed store. They'll keep the kittens in their shop once they are seven weeks old and take two or three at a time until they are all adopted out. I think it might take a while, but I have my...

Thank you. I used a bit of Palmolive and warm water and softened it, then scratched it out with my nails and it finally came out. :D

Okay, so when I started taking care of 7 4-week-old kittens, I didn't know the KMR would dry like cement. Now all the kittens have nasty hard bits on their chins and bits of their fur. I don't know how to clean it off without hurting them, especially the hardened goatees they're all sporting...

I just wanted to update real quick. More of them are using the litter box, so it seems they are fine in that regard. Thank heaven! The littlest one is still not eating from the saucer. The rest of them are and some are eating the dry kitten food, as long as we break it up a little in the...

I have tried those shelters. One of them kept saying they would pick them up and the fiance took days off work to wait for them--they never showed. There is a place called Unity Thrift that will take them but only when they are litter trained and eating hard food on their own. This morning, I...

I have NO idea what I'm doing! We have seven kittens left by the stray mother. NOBODY in this area (Taft California) is helping us in any way. When they were first born several weeks ago, we called every shelter and vet in the area and in Bakersfield but the only person who would take them is...
