That’s good you found relief and treatment for your kitties. I will ask my vet about apoquel. His skin issues aren’t as big of a deal as his frequent wheezing so he’s on high dosage steroids right now for that. It is bad for him long term so I don’t know what else to do but it has been the only...

I feed ferals/strays outside and this one showed up a couple months ago. I only see him once in a while. He is friendly and meows. He has an unusual dark gray tabby coloring. Is this a special coat pattern? What would it be described as?

My cat has these issues… over-grooming/eosinophilic granuloma as well as wheezing. He’s had allergy testing, multiple blood works, and tried different medications, prescription food, inhalers. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is Atopica. You would have to bring to the vet but my vet has even...

If you are able to monitor mealtimes, you can do that with multiple cats. But if you are gone long hours, you can get a microchip feeder for each cat and portion out their meals in the feeder. And with the feeder, picky eaters can easily go back to their portion throughout the day.

One of my kittens had gums like this while his teeth were growing in still. I’ve had a lot of kittens so it was completely new to me. It has gone down after all of his adult teeth came in so I hope that was the end of if but I will be keeping an eye on his teeth.

After spaying one of my female kittens at around 5 months old, she gained a lot of weight. She suddenly became very food motivated and was no longer skinny. The vet told me many cats gain weight after spaying. She started pooping in the box in front of me while I would be scooping. One day, I...

One of the local vets who had a very dated building for decades recently reconstructed it to a sparkling new facility out of nowhere and paved a parking lot (they had gravel before). They are charging sky high prices too and I’m sure that is how they built the new facility. My main long-time...

My cat has this somewhat… and allergies. He just overgrooms himself and irritates the skin. It flares up and gets better and flares up again. We have done pred daily, now tapered down to 1 every other day. It works and then it doesn’t work. I think I will stop giving that to him and try...

Try something smelly like sardines or tuna? If you were to syringe feed him wet food, would he vomit it back up? One of my cats had a problem vomiting recently which was out of character for him. A minute or two after eating he would vomit everything up. We thought it might be a foreign body...

I apologize my post is long. I am distraught because my 7-8 month old cat has been vomiting since Wednesday night and it hasn’t resolved. I brought him to vet #1 thursday for cerenia injection and subq fluids. My cat wants to eat but kept gagging and retching. Then Friday morning I saw more...

We shop at Costco for our cat litter (Scoop Away), and the past couple times we went they have been out. We even tried multiple locations. So today when we went and saw the litter in stock, we bought 10 packs. My husband and I only go to Costco maybe twice a month if we have time. Normally we...

I did have to crate my cat for 3 weeks when she injured her knee. The vet said it’s either crate rest or surgery so we wanted to try that first. I think she was around 7 months old at the time. Of course she hated it and made a mess inside, but luckily her leg was okay afterwards.

I did not have a wonky blood test, but we did a felv/fiv test and later they told me the tech “made an error” and had to redo the test (after they already gave my cat the felv vaccine without checking results first!). So I took her home and later the vet called saying she was positive for...

We bought microchip feeders for all our cats and portion their food, feeding twice a day. There are some of our cats who have to be separated from the cat who gets an endless portion (because he doesn’t eat enough). The food hogs will crowd him when he tries to eat and pull food out of his...

When my cat was not eating enough and on mirtaz there was a point I would sit in a small room with him, add some water to the pate wet food, and use an oral syringe to feed him. He didn’t like it and avoided me but he was getting the calories.

I would wait before introducing because I read that felv/fiv can take 60 days since exposure for it to show positive. But even then with kittens their maternal antibodies can hide it. And felv can lay dormant in the bone marrow and show up years later. So you never know until you know I guess...

Thank you for the info. 🙂 Her feet are white except for the back legs, which has some diluted color. I added a pic. Sorry for the messy cage, I was working long hours the past 2 days. She has an appointment tomorrow to get flea treatment, fvrcp, felv/fiv test before I move her to a small...

How would the color of this kitty be described? She has a striped tail and light blue/gray eyes. The front paws are white, I forgot what color the hind feet are. She has a good temperament so far, a bit cautious but purring and meowing, and she enjoys pets. She came from a barn colony but seems...

I’m so sorry… That is my worst fear. I did not know much about felv/fiv when I started adopting cats. I had them all tested but did not know about the long period before it can show a positive result, and the possibility for the maternal antibodies hiding the infection in a kitten, etc. So I had...

Are you able to have a fecal test done at the vet? The last two kittens I brought inside were infected with giardia and had a grey/green tint to their poop. They did 3 rounds of meds and I’m still not 100% sure it’s clear. It’s hard to get rid of
