    Distemper Questions

    Honestly I feel like everyone says different amounts of time. Some say 6 months, others say a year, others say 2 years. Maybe it depends on how often surfaces are cleaned. I’ve been told a cleaner called Rescue can kill it faster, but I have never heard of it nor do I know if it’s multi...

    Distemper Questions

    Hey guys, this is the second time now I’ve dealt with distemper in the house. First time was over 2 years ago, and I didn’t bring any new cats or kittens into my house for at least a year and a half. I brought two babies into my home a month ago that had distemper. One passed, the other...

    Sick Cat Not Eating and Vomiting

    We did end up taking him to the emergency vet last night and made the ultimate decision to not let him continue suffering. Just between how he was doing health wise and the overall cost of everything, we made the decision to let him rest 💔 I’m just really hoping we made the right decision…

    Sick Cat Not Eating and Vomiting

    I definitely will try the hot steak idea, honestly don’t know why I didn’t think of that sooner! The tuna juice in water is also a great idea, I’ll give him a separate thing of water with that in it in case he ends up just wanting plain water. He’s a picky eater. I’m just hoping the vet knows...

    Sick Cat Not Eating and Vomiting

    I honestly didn’t even ask them about the mirtazapine, I’m assuming if by Monday he isn’t improving I ca ask about it. I’m not super experienced with syringe feeding, especially adults (I’ve only syringe fed small kittens) but it wouldn’t hurt to at least try. I know little amounts every few...

    Sick Cat Not Eating and Vomiting

    So he went back to the vet this morning and they gave him a Convenia injection, I guess she said to help his stuffiness? When I looked up what convenia is used for all I saw was skin issues and gum issues? So I’m not sure but they said to check back in with them Monday when they’re open to...

    Sick Cat Not Eating and Vomiting

    I know, I should’ve just said to wait to administer the vaccines but since the vet is half an hour away from me and they suggested it I figured it would be fine. I’ll keep that in mind for next time for sure. I’ve never had a cat have a vaccine reaction before. I honestly might try and give him...

    Sick Cat Not Eating and Vomiting

    This is what they gave him when we went yesterday. I’m waiting for the vet to call me still on what we should do next and if I should get something else for him. I just feel so bad for him he feels awful and he’s already been through so much.

    Sick Cat Not Eating and Vomiting

    Before I go any further, he has been to the vet the last two days and I called the vet first thing this morning with another update. So last Tuesday I trapped a sick, injured cat by my workplace who was trying to get into the dumpsters. We named him Van Gogh because he’s missing part of his ear...

    Female Cat Urinating Blood

    So a couple weeks back, I noticed my female cat Elizabeth frequently going to the litterbox and just sitting there for minutes. I noticed there was blood in her urine and called the vet immediately. They fit her in but couldn’t do much because she started getting stressed out and was trying to...

    12 Week Old Kitten Developing slowly?

    It definitely seems at times there’s something neurological going on,especially since he just doesn’t act like all the others.He really is a cutie and we babied him a LOT when he was sick. Unfortunately I don’t have money for vet bills and I’m worried because I’ve had such a terrible experience...

    12 Week Old Kitten Developing slowly?

    So I’m not sure if I’m just worrying too much or not, but I have some fosters right now, a momma and 4 kittens. Kittens were born on the 20th of June and are 12 and a half weeks old. At around 4-5 weeks old the kittens got sick, we lost three (litter was originally 7 kittens) and two of the 4...

    Need Advice: Momma with Mastitis and 5 Sick Kittens

    Babies are doing well! Everyone is steadily gaining weight (one healthy kitten keeps fluctuating in weight but she’s been that way since a kitten, I think worms could also be contributing to this). The sick kitten is out eating, still losing weight but significantly less because he’s eating on...

    Need Advice: Momma with Mastitis and 5 Sick Kittens

    Ghost, Cayenne and Scorpion are all doing well. They’re eating on their own and I’ve been advised to stop fluids every hour but continue to give meds twice a day. Dragon still is running a fever and losing weight but fingers crossed no vomiting. He fights us at feedings but won’t eat on his...

    Need Advice: Momma with Mastitis and 5 Sick Kittens

    Yes, I definitely believe that they are suffering from both the infected milk from momma and also distemper, there’s no way this is just the infection. I’ve had three of the 7 in the litter pass, one passed yesterday morning. Three are doing well, running around and playing, however as of...

    Need Advice: Momma with Mastitis and 5 Sick Kittens

    Fevers have all gone down. The one who was vomiting I haven’t seen vomit at all but she still doesn’t feel well and really doesn’t have any energy. I’m trying to get them to start eating on their own to gain this weight they lost back. The two that are out and about playing eat on their own...

    Need Advice: Momma with Mastitis and 5 Sick Kittens

    I’ll be going to the clinic Monday to pick up more meds, and I’m going to let them know that momma is still really swollen and sore so hopefully they suggest giving her an anti inflammatory because it looks and feels so bad… I am feeding them Turkey and chicken flavored baby food mixed with...

    Need Advice: Momma with Mastitis and 5 Sick Kittens

    I’m fostering a sweet momma and her babies who will be turning 6 weeks old tomorrow. One passed away suddenly a few days ago and another last night. They started on Clavamox yesterday evening because we’re pretty sure momma has mastitis and all the kittens are sick. They get fluids every hour...

    Fighting Amongst Two of My Cats Help Please!

    For the most part all 6 of my kitties get along. The occasional disagreement between them but they all play and snuggle from time to time. Throwing Nala into the mix completely throws that off, though. If I could keep them separated and happy I would, but as I’m typing this Nala is crying...
