My Persian cat turned one in March so we put him onto adult food. I have always kept note of his weight due to my older cat having kidney issues so I weigh him frequently. At the most recent weigh in, I noticed my one year old has dropped around 300g. The only thing that has changed is he’s...

Hi, I noticed a red mark on the underside of my cats tongue today. Does anyone know what this might be and if it warrants a vet visit? He is a 3.5 year old Persian, on daily steroids for allergies and also has stage 1 kidney disease. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am at a total loss on what's causing Cecil's breathing issue. Occasionally, when he's very relaxed and purring, he starts doing drawn-out breaths that sound a bit whistly. When it's at its worst, his mouth opens, his tongue comes out and he sort of sticks his head forward then...

Hi everyone, I have just got back from a short break away where a friend was looking after my kitten Cedric. He said yesterday that he had a big poop stuck to his fur (he’s a persian so they often get it stuck to their fur). Upon coming home I noticed the poop was still there but it was actually...

Hi, I took my cat for blood tests as he had lost a little bit of weight (also had diarrhoea on and off - however the vet thinks this is related to his allergies) I have attached the results. After doing some googling it looks like early stage kidney disease to me. The vet wants us to bring a...

Hi, I noticed my new 5 month old kitten’s left third eyelid sometimes shows when he blinks. Only the left one and not every time he blinks. It swipes across his eye but is gone again as soon as he’s stopped blinking. He is very well in himself, very playful and loves to eat. Is it normal to see...

I just wanted to share a positive experience I’ve had with my cat who has severe allergies. We’ve spent years trying to get to the bottom of what causes his allergies, doing all sorts of testing and food elimination trials. Unfortunately nothing worked, even hydrolysed foods, air purifiers...

Hi, my cat has had loose stools that are pale with a slightly yellowy tinge. He is a 3 year old persian. He has recently started on a new flavour of his food (same brand) and we’ve also recently introduced a new kitten to the house. Does this warrant a vet visit or is it normal? Thanks! Spoiler-...

Hi everyone, we finally gave in to giving our 2-year-old cat atopica for his skin allergies yesterday. He had it at about 1.30pm, drooled a fair bit but seemed ok. Come dinner time, he tried to eat a bit of dinner and vomited. Since then, he has vomited several times. My partner had to stay...

Hi guys, apologies if this has been asked before, I’ve just read lots of mixed things and wanted to try and find some up to date advice. After almost two years of back and forth at the vets for various tests, as well as food trials, daily steroids, steroid injections, and a variety of creams...

A bit of a good news story today as you don't see enough of them! And I'm hoping this could help reassure others in similar situations. Our 2-year-old Persian had diarrhea on Sunday, the worst diarrhea he'd ever had (every hour he'd be pooping liquid - we think it was from a sudden change in...

Hi guys, my 2 year old persian male has been on steroids for his skin problems for about a year now (food trials etc haven’t worked) so I booked him in for bloods to check the meds weren’t having a detrimental effect. The results came back today and he has a few results outside of the normal...

Hi guys! We have been thinking about getting our 2-year-old Persian boy a friend. We have come across an ad of a 2-year-old female Persian who seems just perfect - she is good around other animals and apparently very friendly, loves a cuddle. She is being rehomed due to the owners moving house...

Hi all, a bit of back story - Cecil has skin allergies and has been on steroid tablets for almost a year now (we still haven’t found the cause). He’s had no issues being on medication so far but it has definitely worried me knowing he’s on long term steroids. He recently went onto a new...

Hi all, I haven't posted on here for quite some time- my last post over a year ago was when we first discovered Cecil's skin issues and we had no idea what was going on! Since then we have had lots of tests and treatments done and the vet has diagnosed that Cecil has a number of food allergies...

Hi all, as you may have seen from previous threads, my poor little Cecil has been suffering with itchy skin which has caused him to excessively bite and make it sore. Back story: the itching started around a month ago just after he was neutered, but we did also put him on a new hypoallergenic...

Hi, my 7 month old kitten was fussy with his food this morning. He usually loves his food and screams for it... But this morning he turned his nose up at his usual sachet food and wouldn’t touch it at all, so I tried him on some canned food which he ate a bit of, then he went back and ate 3/4...

Hi, wondering if anyone could shed some light on the below. I noticed my kitten biting his tummy the other day - to begin with I wasn’t concerned as he just looked like he was grooming himself, but I noticed him doing it again quite aggressively a few days later so I checked his tummy which in...

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I was just hoping for some guidance/reassurance. Our ginger Persian kitten Cecil is almost 7 months old and weighs 2.2kg. He has been to the vets numerous times (I should probably mention once for a snotty nose which he had antibiotics for but it cleared...
