    First Time Owner Of Cat With Fiv...need Help

    Hey! I've been a bit busy with school so I neglected this forum a bit. Meowki is doing well. He acutually gained a significant amount of weight. He actually waddles a bit when he walks now (which is amazing bc he was a skinny guy when I first me him and had a hard time putting on weight). He...

    He behaved really well. No accidents- used his litterbox well (although that room has hard wood floors...I hope he is going to be ok with carpet in the future). He was very sweet, although, he would cry whenever I had to quickly leave the room...as soon as I was back he was quiet again. He...

    You really think so? He is VERY vocal so I know he has had to have been around ppl. I don't think he was abused but I agree, I don't understand how someone can dump such a sweet cat. He is EXTREMELY sweet. But when I took him to the vet he wasn't even chipped and was infested in ticks and fleas...

    baby food...that's something I haven't thought to try. What flavor would you recommend using? I have only used the pill pockets...but that is a challenge to use especially if I have to give a powder form.

    Wonderful suggestions. I will discuss the iron issue with my vet and see what he thinks...or at the very least he can run bloodwork on Meowki and see how his levels are doing. If your cat has a tough time with his pill form, I know that another option is to have them do injections once every...

    Thank you for the suggetions...would I have to get my vet to prescribe lactoferrin or is there a certain dose I can use over the counter?

    Unfortunately, I can't convert the garage, and he stays around the porch so he doesn't really wander anywhere. I made him a tiny house to sleep in. I would be afraid of using the garage as it is constantly used and ppl rush to work in the morning...I couldn't risk him accidently being crushed by...

    Lol, the real impressive part is that I received no scratches..shocking. As of right now Meowki is an outdoor only cat. The end goal is for him to be an indoor only cat. The issue I am dealing with is: first off, having my vet let me know what the treatment plan is and where do we go from...

    Thanks, any extra insight is always appreciated. Update: I was able to give Meowki his first flea and tick bath...he took it like a champ...complained a lot but he's nice and clean.

    I wish I knew of a way to help spread awareness...I stumbled accross a news recording of how a man was trapping poor feral cats and took them to the vet where they were euthanized bc they were positive...absolutely gut wrenching. And how ignorant the vets are is a thousand times worse bc they...
