    8 Month Old Kitten Appetite Loss

    8 pounds and 8th week blood work. They’re concerned because she’s not improving as quickly as they would like to see so her dosage is being increased. Other than that my vet who took her blood apparently had a hard time getting her. It took 3 techs, a cat bag and her….her comments were “I guess...

    Yeahhhh, I only deal with rescues that are up front about safety and stuff now. That kitten should never have been with the other adoptees without vetting and quarantine (sounds like a newbie mixed up which kittens were adoptable though, since as soon as the person in charge found out they asked...

    A couple years from now shelters will be asking “Why did people stop adopting pets??” when it is quite obvious they lost their minds somewhere along the way.

    Woke up feeling even worse, took an at home covid test. My first positive lmao So I fought it off for a week then finally am stuck on my couch with KoKo watching over me. she sleeps under my desk or on the foot rest beside the couch, but wakes up when I move or go to the bathroom meowing the...

    Been feeling weird for about a week, stuffy nose that’s too moist and too dry at the same time. To the point I keep getting small nose bleeds. Well today I’m sick sick and our manager was out with covid last week so I guess that answers my question as to the odd symptoms compared to a normal...

    God that‘s so stressful. When LiLi developed aspiration pneumonia and stopped eating over new years I took her to the emergency vet and got told they would “keep her stable” until after the holiday then would figure out what was wrong. After hearing the price and that nothing would really be...

    8 Month Old Kitten Appetite Loss

    It’s adorable, she doesn’t even fuss when I press to open her jaw. I’m so used to her I forgot how traumatic it is with the big cats 😂 YanYan started growling and locked her jaw shut when I attempted to give her probiotics.

    8 Month Old Kitten Appetite Loss

    7.5 pounds! She’s taking the higher dose treatment now so she only needs one pill again, she is very happy about this. She has to fast 2 hours before and 1 hour after so I drag myself half asleep to give her the pill then nap on the couch until she can have food. Funny enough she now just jumps...

    @FeralHearts Honestly in the same boat. First I adopted LiLi late last year who had pyloric stenosis, months of figuring it out and managing to afford treatment. Then after she passed I adopted KoKo who developed FIP more recently. It‘s been crazy. I’ve had mystery illness kittens one after the...

    Decided to get empty pill capsules to fill with kitty probiotics (they smell it in their food). KoKo is used to being pilled due to her FIP treatment so hers went well, she barely struggles now and is happy after because she knows she gets dried chicken hearts as a treat. Then I tried XiaoXiao...

    Jeez that is crazy. One thing I will point out is that often this kind of thing comes from childhood trauma and boundary issues, you wouldn’t believe how many awful friendships I have lived through due to being inadvertently taught a good girl is a doormat for anyone who needs one to make...

    Having a hard time figuring out my cats personality.

    We also have a rather aloof girlie. She’s around 3 and just this year in April started to become more vocal, affectionate and easier to read. At around 2pm she will crawl up on my chest and lay down while staring into my eyes purring as loudly as she can. Before this she never got in my lap...

    8 Month Old Kitten Appetite Loss

    Day 20 of treatment. First blood tests to confirm how she’s doing are on the 12th of this month (the 10th of October should be her final dose as long as she shows improvement on her blood tests). Crazy how long treatment is. Honestly the 3-4 sets of blood tests are the most costly part of...

    Cat Food Recall Recalled Cat Food Updates

    Well that was as convoluted and uninformative as it could have possibly been. Beginning to wonder if the FDA needs to be interviewed like the FBI was recently….

    We continue to fight over the first set of coffee mugs we bought after marriage. It is a yellowy-taupe color that I called cream but later decided wasn’t quite right. It’s more like beige. He calls it brown and is confused when I ask for the “cream color cup”. Similar to you I work with...

    Nah those are too important and expensive, they would put all their kids in the shed before that happened 😉 This reminds me of when I moved out here and we were looking for a church. My oldest brother and I were the only ones here since the rest of the furniture had to be moved over (12 hour...

    Cat vomiting in the mornings?

    Does he have food available at night or do you feed meals?

    I finally managed to find beds for all of mine and they actually sleep in them. They’re the cheap little rope wall beds from Walmart, they bully each other over who gets the two beds 🤣 I have a pic of XiaoXiao sitting in one as a tiny floof, glaring daggers at us over the side of the bed for...
