    Extremely Lethargic New Kitten; Help!

    Thank you. If only you knew how much I did for my little angel Luna who recently passed. She was diabetic when I found her at the shelter. It was a ride with her for years that I'm ever so grateful for. Hypothermia = I do what I can to help out animals. They are love.

    Extremely Lethargic New Kitten; Help!

    I was expecting to spend at least 500. Thank goodness he's gonna be OK and it's nothing serious. I've never had a kitten this small and never had any cat with so low energy so of course I think it's something super serious. I am on painkillers for my foot that I broke and benzos for panic...

    Extremely Lethargic New Kitten; Help!

    I will take him in tomorrow for at least blood tests, fluids, and vitamins. I want my wife there to help decide if any financial concerns show up.

    They are pretty damn white. I looked at all my cats teeth and they're pretty white too. I really can't tell.

    Extremely Lethargic New Kitten; Help!

    I can get him to vet today or tomorrow for $85 office visit. I want my wife to come so I will probably wait til tomorrow. Just wondering if this is at all normal, I've never had such a young kitten.

    Extremely Lethargic New Kitten; Help!

    I found a grey kitten in a parking lot yesterday. Beautiful. Everything is good, uses litter box, purrs, meows (loudly), eats and drinks fine. He had one accident in the bed. The thing is, he's nearly lethargic. Lifeless. Doesn't move, at all. He can move, to get food, and he walks just fine...

    New Unexplained Rash On Tortie? Help.

    If I listened to a vet for everything our cats needed I'd be $100,000 in debt and our diabetic cat would probably be dead so I'm a bit reluctant to incessant testing and misdiagnosis's. Amoxicillin is the treatment for bacterial skin infections so I'm gonna go with that for now.

    New Unexplained Rash On Tortie? Help.

    Well in theory that sounds fantastic but we're about $10,000 in debt right now from moving states and buying a house. Doing what we can. If it spreads or gets worse we'll take her in. Doesn't help we also have a diabetic cat who takes up a good chunk of our income.

    New Unexplained Rash On Tortie? Help.

    We drugged her with some benzo's the vet gave us and are going to wrap it in gauze so she at least leaves it alone.

    New Unexplained Rash On Tortie? Help.

    No meds. She kinda always the grooming queen. She is separate from the other 3 crazy cats. I have a diabetic cat so I'm very keen to cat dosing and medication, etc. We hosted nobody. She is grooming the are bald. I do not think it's happening like that by itself, i.e it must itch.

    New Unexplained Rash On Tortie? Help.

    Amoxicillin is amoxicillin. And yes it's for cats. We've had her for years nothing changed but I'm sure FIV complicates things.

    New Unexplained Rash On Tortie? Help.

    We have amoxicillin which I read is good for skin infections in cats. We will give her that for 10 days or so and try to see improvement; if not we'll switch her food. If it gets worse we'll do to vet.

    New Unexplained Rash On Tortie? Help.

    We're broke as a joke right now unfortunately... will take her in if it does get worse. Food formula hasn't changed, I called them. Nothing else is new. Well nothing at all is new. She's indoor cat. Has FIV.

    New Unexplained Rash On Tortie? Help.

    Our civvy Tiana developed this rash seemingly out of nowhere. Any ideas? All I can think of is we've been ordering our food from Chewys and like a month ago it started to come in a different can - same food but maybe they changed the formula and she's allergic? I'm gonna call Chewys/Friskies to...
