No, all the dewormers have been ones the vet has provided. I can't remember their names right now, though! They were both prescription. One was light-sensitive, and he got two doses of that. I'm honestly convinces now that his hair loss issues are directly related to his ring worm, too.
Hey all! My little dude Henry (8 mo) has had a rough ride with gastro-intestinal issues. He's been treated 4 times for worms, and I thought he was finally over it, but he just got sick today and low and behold, still worms. We've treated him with two different dewormers, too. Does anyone know...
Yes, he had severe diarrhea and vomiting when he had his vet issue. The only thing that helped him (after being hospitalized) were antibiotics. It really does sound to me from what everyone is saying that it's worth getting an enzyme test or something of the sort from the vet to really figure...
Hi! Thanks so much for this info. This seems like it could be very possible. The vet noted that whisker loss was an unusual symptom of allergies, but since all his other symptoms (at the time) were consistent with an allergy, we decided to play it by ear.
What causes cats not to be able to...
Hey, thanks for the feedback! Henry isn't getting bald spots anywhere else, however his nails are very brittle and I initially called the vet because he was losing an unusual amount of whiskers. Sounds like I need to give the vet a call. I'll ring them on Monday. He also isn't gaining weight...
Hey all! I know it's shedding season for our furbabies, but since this is my first one and I had a really big vet scare a month and a half ago due to gastrointestinal issues, I wanted to find out what was normal!
Henry has a VERY sensitive stomach and, by extension, very sensitive skin. Since...
The problem is is that I've already tried that :( he had a really rough time about a month ago and had to be hospitalized because of what turned out to be a bacterial intestinal infection (it was super scary!) Since then, he's been eating prescription hills sensitive stomach and skin wet food. I...
Hi! My kitty is about 8 months old. He doesn't interact with any other cats, tho he does seem to scratch at his face more often than usual. He's been to the vet many a time and he's been cleared for ear mites, fleas, etc, anything that would cause itching like that. I'm starting to think it...
Hey all! I've found some whiskers here and there over the past month from my kitty, Henry. I've been finding about 2-3 a week, and to me it does look like there's less on his face. I'm not sure if this should be a concern, or if this is a normal amount of whisker loss?
Well! We might just have an answer here. I had a new roommate move in and after acclimating her kitten with mine behind their doors, we started letting them see each other. We recently let them venture into each other's rooms, with supposed success. However, my kitty was clearly at the bottom of...
Little update: I moved his food bowl to be on my desk and he finished eating it there. I had already tried moving it to other areas of the apartment. He still scratched around after eating the rest, but yeah. I'm not sure if he just doesn't like the location? I make sure to clean his dishes...
He's almost 8 months now. He recently got neutered, too, about a week and a half ago, but up until 3 days ago his eating habits were the same so I don't think it's the neutering unless this has something to do with hormones.
Hey! Thanks for answering :) I guess my main concern is that he suddenly seems disinterested in finishing his food. He had to be hospitalized three weeks ago for not eating (a bacterial infection), but after he recovered he was VERY food driven. I'm worried he might be regressing and don't quite...
Hi all! My kitty, Henry, used to LOVE his food, but now he doesn't seem to want to finish it all the way and has started scratching around his food and water bowls very frequently. I haven't changed anything, so I don't know why he's doing this. Any guesses?
Thanks for responding! This is very helpful. His face always looked peculiar to me so I thought he might have something interesting mixed in with him, but I think you might be right. Even if he doesn't have Mau in him, he sure acts like one! VERY talkative with high social needs. He's certainly...
