    Kitten with lice

    He’s a beautiful black on black tabby ❤️ Looks solid black until the light hits him just right. His genetic makeup is cool.

    Kitten with lice

    Thank you, yes I did read that article prior to posting I just wasn’t sure if there was additional information elsewhere. And yes I do plan on keeping him on a monthly regimen of revolution as that is the protocol I use with my other house animals. Also, yes he is eating really well now...

    Kitten with lice

    Hey guys, I took in a stray kitten, approximately seven weeks old, on Monday night who was extremely lethargic and riddled with cat lice. He’s a black kitten and the first thing I noticed when I picked him up was and that he was covered in what appeared to be dandruff, until I saw it moving. 🤢...

    Demodox Gatoi: Brevecto Or Lime Dip?

    I’d like to add, we aren’t using this product for flea and tick prevention, although that’s what it’s generally used for. Nor do we have a flea/tick issue. We are only using it to treat mange. Since we only found out about the mange shortly after giving a monthly dose of revolution, we had to...

    Demodox Gatoi: Brevecto Or Lime Dip?

    Wondering if anyone who hasn’t seen this post might be able to give info or has any personal experience with demodex gatoi (mange). We went with the bravecto treatment. Again, vet said this is “off label” treatment. I can’t find anything online offering information about this. I’m just curious...

    Demodox Gatoi: Brevecto Or Lime Dip?

    Thanks. I think we are going to go the Brevecto route as my vet thinks that’s the best course. I’ve never used Brevecto so I’m currently reading everything I can about it.

    Demodox Gatoi: Brevecto Or Lime Dip?

    Took a yearly fecal in for Mama cat and it came back positive for Demodex Gatoi. Moon’s fecal is negative (she’s had 2 fecal’s in 3 months), however, since Mama is an indoor only cat and Moon has only been with us for 3 months (indoor only now, but prior history is sketchy), I can’t think of...

    Allergic Reaction? Yeast? What Now?

    I forgot to add that they also used the black light to make sure that it was not ringworm. And it is not ringworm.

    Allergic Reaction? Yeast? What Now?

    My vet is stumped. Did a culture on her ears, it did not show yeast but he’s not convinced that it isn’t yeast. So she’s on gentamicin drops. He thinks that maybe all the antibiotics in the past couple of months may have allowed yeast to grow. He said whatever it is, it’s not too bad right now...

    Microchips

    I’ve had lots of animals over the years and all have been microchipped. Some brands are more likely to migrate than others. In my personal experience, home again has been the only that has never migrated in any of my pets. Their chips have an “anti migrating” device in them. A couple of our pets...

    Finger Feeding Hacks, Or Is Syringing Better? Or Some Other Hack Like Putting Food On Paw?

    When my girl stopped eating we offered baby food...plain chicken or turkey with no onion or garlic seasonings. She started eating again right away. Anything to get them to eat. Scrambled eggs, lunch meat...hope your kitty feels better.

    Cat Yowling, Rubbing, Rolling, And Twitching

    Ouch. My boy did that when he had a urinary blockage. I hope that’s not your boys issue. How’s he doing tonight? We’re you able to get him into the vet? I agree that he should be seen asap.

    Which Blood Test?

    A full CBC is a good place to start. That should give you a baseline.

    Allergic Reaction? Yeast? What Now?

    Ok guys. I’ll be calling my vet in the morning to make an appointment but I could really use some advice in the meantime. Moon has been scratching at her head above her eyes, licking her paws and over grooming that area as well as digging in her ears with her back paws while meowing loudly...

    My Recently Spayed Cat And Her Pooping Trouble

    My vet suggested MiraLAX after the spay. Ask your vet if they would advise you to do the same. Dosing is different for each cat so you want to speak with first.

    Spayed Cat... In Heat?

    I wonder what knowledge others in this forum may have about this. I am going to comment on my assumptions only. My guess would be that she’s not really in heat, just horny. Lol. Mama cat was fixed years ago but occasionally army crawls with her butt in the air or try’s to put her back end in...

    Antibiotics Question

    From my understanding, antibiotics like Clavamox work best when spaced out every 12 hours so that there is a continuous supply of the medication in their system. That being said, it’s much better to give it earlier than later so the antibiotics don’t have a gap longer than 12 hours inbetween...

    6 Month Kitten Spay Incision Infected ?

    My girl had glue on the outside as well, with stiches on the inside. Day 4 freaked me out, with calls to the vet. I’ll include a photo for comparison. Her situation ended up being fine, but it’s always worth a vet check for piece of mind.

    Questions On Surgery Recovery

    I’ve had several cats over the years who used buprenex with no adverse side effects. However, none of them took it for longer than 3 days. Fast forward to Moon, who is almost done recovering from her most recent surgery. She was given 5 days worth of buprenex after a complicated spay, She was...
