Thank you! He was sleeping in the big bowl I'd gotten out, so I thought to get out the smaller one instead. Silly me! :lol2:

This looks a lot like my Benson. He also has the black back bleeding into his tabby, and the mix of silver/brown. I don't have too many good photos of his side, but:

Just my two cents but my boy Benson, who is nearly 8 pounds at 7.5 months eats 8.5 oz of homecooked and a can of Tiki After Dark per day. He cries for food at mealtimes so it seems that he's hungry, even after nearly 9 ounces of chicken thigh... I got worried after reading through the thread and...

So, a frustrating update: Benson had his usual diarrhea twice on Saturday morning, at 6am and at 7:30. He hasn't pooped since. Now I'm worried about constipation, and about to embark on that research journey. Will it ever end?!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences! And yay that Buddy has managed the Veraflox without diarrhea this time - that's wonderful news :) Oh my goodness thank you for that article. That was such a helpful read in terms of helping me proceed calmly. I will stop the rice...

It seems like lots of people mention it taking 2+ weeks to recover from antibiotic use.. thank you for adding your insight!! Considering he's had three rounds of antibiotics (not counting the eye drops) and that the injection appears to stay in the system upwards of two months, it's helpful to...

He had some chicken and rice this morning, with digestive enzymes and a probiotic capsule added in. I called the vet and let her know what was going on, plus my plan for over the weekend. She said that would have been her suggestion and to call in Monday morning to make an appointment. So...

Thanks for your reply CatloverinFL. I will contact my vet tomorrow, though she won't be able to see him until next week. I'm hesitant to take him to her because her but I'm sure at this point it can't hurt.. I doubt she's going to push another antibiotic on him. Her ideas about cat nutrition...

Thanks for the thoughts! I was starting to explore the possibility of a food allergy, but when I started calculating how many antibiotics he's gotten, it seems like an awful lot... I'm pretty sure my own system would take quite a hit from something like that.

Thank you all for this community, which has been such a helpful and supportive resource for me & my kitties this year <3 Does anyone know how long after administering antibiotics it is normal for diarrhea to continue? Benson developed a URI and, since we adopted him on March 3 got: + a...

I took both of mine out for the first time on two different harnesses yesterday! Mojo hadn't been in one since 2012 and as soon as I got that sucker on him, he was like HERE'S THE DOOR MOM LET'S GO!!! I got him the H-shape strappy style. The PetSafe harness I bought claimed that it lightly...

Hi all, So in my ongoing saga of All the Sick Cats 2018, it seems Benson might have a food intolerance. I'm not sure, though. He has had chronic diarrhea for over a week now, but it (the diarrhea) has come back around the same time as his upper respiratory issue has. Now I'm wondering if his...

Thanks! Benson started vomiting blood and went to the ER last night. He's on a home-cooked diet for the next few days, but I'm researching how to continue it long-term. Now I have a ton of Fancy Feast that I feel bad feeding my other cats. They're turning up their noses at their usual food and...

OH monk’s mom I’m so sorry for your experience. I had a longer reply... but I am now en route to the Emergencies with Benson who hs started vomiting blood. I think my vet was right; there is something we are missing here.

Well, I didn't get to compare! This morning I gave Benson some of the Fancy Feast Classic the two sick kitties have been getting, and today he's been vomiting and having diarrhea. So no more Fancy Feast. The others have eaten it okay, but I'd rather be safe. Sorry about that!

Oh I'm so sorry you are going through this yourself, and having to watch her struggle with the loss of her sibling. I found myself in a similar place with Mojo (he is 6 years old now) in February. Two dogs and their owners killed his best buddy. I did end up bringing home a kitten for him and...

Thank you so much for your responses, Kieka and catlover! The FUO panel should be back tomorrow so we will have a better idea then. Kieka, thank you for sharing your story about your bunnies. It is good to think that just because I don't have a diagnosis doesn't mean there is no hope for a...

Okay. They are still eating on their own. In 10 minutes Mojo gets another 125ml of SQ fluids. I may be looking at my cats under a microscope and worrying about every little thing, but now I'm noticing that Benson starts panting after barely any play (trotting from one end of the room to the...

I've been searching the forums and reading experiences regarding fevers of unknown origin. FIP comes up a lot, and it's been a scary read. I'm hoping someone has had a situation similar to this (warning: this is long. But I've included pictures!) This post is about Mojo, but the story begins...

Thank you! I will check these out! At this point, I can't be picky; whatever they eat, they get. To note, my husband came home with cans of the new Fancy Feast recipe. He says they've changed from "Classic" to "Classic Pate" and added fish. I'll have a chance to compare the new recipe tomorrow...
