    Flutd

    I'm using a brita filter, I've thought about buying a water softener but they are expensive. I'm at a loss as well, I may go back to buying bottled water for them. I'm not sure what's causing his issues but I'm hoping we can keep it under control.

    Flutd

    For the second time this year I have a male cat that has been diagnosed with FLUTD. Around Christmas last year the first cat had a urinary blockage and despite months of trying with prescription foods, surgery's, and amazing veterinary care he didn't make it. My second nuetered male cat who has...

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    I'm sorry it's been so long since my last update. Percy just had his second round of shots and now weighs 3 pounds! He is a happy little stinker who never stops playing. I keep him in his room when I'm not home because he is fearless and likes to get stuck in random places. He is also losing...

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    Percy had a great appointment today! In the last two weeks, he has almost doubled his weight and is now just shy of 2 lbs. He also tested negative for fiv and feline leukemia! We'll test again later but I feel comfortable to start intruding him to everyone. We may still have a coccidia issue so...

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    Percy still has loose stool so I took a sample in today and it turns out he has coccidia. I'm not really surprised so he is on another antibiotic and treatment. Besides that though he is an energetic little guy. I have never had such a playful kitten.

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    Percy had a great appointment! He went from 12oz to just over a pound, and the perfect temp. The vet was pleasantly surprised that he is so healthy and energetic. Percy is all about the attitude and playing. :) He got another dose of wormer today, and in a few weeks when we start his vaccines...

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    Percy has been doing great! Today he's being a real little spitfire :D I can't wait until I'm given the all clear to introduce him to everyone else. He has a checkup on Thursday and I'll give you guys an update then.

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    I can't believe how well he is doing compared to a few days ago. Today I went to check on him and he had disappeared. So I start to take the room apart to look for him. Turns out he's feeling good enough to climb the bed and hide between the pillows. His favorite spot right now is looking out...

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    Yesterday when I got home I noticed he had drunk most of the water/Pedialyte! I gave him his baby food and he ate it on his own. While I was gone at work I had left a bit of a buffet out for him so he could eat what he liked, some water softened hard food and plain hard food. When I left him...

    Fever Coat?

    I belive you guys are right the vet and I are debating whether he will be a black or chocolate cat.

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    He had another good morning, he still prefers to eat his food off my finger but he is voluntarily eating! Last night we sat outside for a long while so I could really clean him and he wouldn't get cold (it's almost 100 here). He seemed to enjoy it and kept trying to climb in my hair, but would...

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    When I got home this afternoon Percy was a little more lethargic but he felt good enough to try to hide in the corner when he saw me. I was able to get a little more of everything into him. After we were done I sat there petting him and scratching his chin (even at 7 weeks old that's his spot)...

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    When I went to bed around midnight after one last feeding Percy could barely stand and I had to hold him up in order for him to use the bathroom. I truly didn't expect him to be with us this morning, but 5 am rolls around and Percy has escaped his box and is at the door yelling at me. He still...

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    Percy's had a tough day. His temp has held steady but he's pretty weak. I have been rubbing Karo syrup on his gums and mixed Pedialyte with his formula. He doesn't eat as much as I would like after a while he stops swallowing. I'm hoping he makes it because he's stubborn but it's a lot for a...

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    His temp is still being stubborn, but I have put him in a covered carrier with the heating pad. This morning after I fed him which at least he has the energy to tell me he doesn't like, he spent a little time wrapped up in a towel fresh from the dryer. For his next feeding, I'll make sure I have...

    Sick Kitten With A Low Temp

    Hello, Last weekend I took in a new kitten from a feral haven. He is 6-7 weeks old, and less than 1lb. Percy was an active kitten on Saturday and Sunday he had diarrhea but was still pretty normal, I wasn't surprised with the change in environment that he would have issues. I took him and had...

    Fever Coat?

    Hey Guys, I just got this little guy from a feral sanctuary. He has a very unique coat that I think could be a fever coat. Some of his littermates had a much darker version of this coat. I would appreciate anyone else's opinion.

    Urine Crystals, Blockages And Everything Else

    So this week was pretty good. I was honestly expecting to have to say goodbye after the weekend, but Gus pepped back up by Saturday. He still has strictures there is no fixing that but for right now he is going if in very small amounts and seems pretty happy. So we will just keep living life...

    Urine Crystals, Blockages And Everything Else

    Today's post is not what I wish it was. I noticed this morning Gus was having some issues, I was able to get off work early to rake him to the vet. He was acting normal, eating food he just seemed to be struggling to go pee. I was hoping he was having a flare up of FIC or a UTI, unfortunately...
