    Does X-ray usually require sedation?

    Yeah that makes total sense. Yes they did mention that they had to keep her still otherwise she might hurt herself. I was very upset and worried yesterday but looking back, the full day of sleep did help her recover. PS. Just posted a minute ago about her latest update. She’s recovering well...

    Does X-ray usually require sedation?

    Latest update: She finally got better today! I woke up at 5am this morning to check on her. She finally came off the bed and walked around. I gave her some snack and she also drunk water, which were all good signs. At this point I think it’s a stomach bug because she had diarrhea this morning...

    Does X-ray usually require sedation?

    I don’t know which drug they used but it did affect her movement. She was walking all wobbly and she’s surprised to find herself off balance when walking and jumping. She’s smart that after a few minutes she realized it and went to the bed to rest to let it pass. She didn’t come off the bed for...

    Does X-ray usually require sedation?

    She woke up earlier, and looked a little more alert. I tried to give her some food, but she only had a few pieces of Benito flakes. She was awake for like an hour and just sitting there. I thought maybe she’s getting better. But she never left the bed and now she’s asleep again… I hope she will...

    Does X-ray usually require sedation?

    Thank you for confirming this. I really should have known better… I was quite panicked at the vet and let them did it. At least now I’m sure I’ll never go back to that vet…

    Does X-ray usually require sedation?

    Oh no! That sounds bad. She’s still sleeping now, with some waking up in between to change positions, but fell asleep very fast. It has been 7 hours. I really hope she will wake up soon and eat something. Otherwise I’ll need to find another emergency care…

    Does X-ray usually require sedation?

    My female cat pen pen was throwing up this this morning and looked very sick. It raised red flag when she failed jumping on a table and was not interested in her favorite treat. She is super athletic and she is crazy for Benito flake (usually come running from 2nd floor if she hears when I open...

    Foster cat does not groom himself

    New update: the foster cat was neutered last weekend and now doing well. He's not marking or peeing outside of litter box anymore. I didn't do the introduction properly, but he seemed to get along with my cats just fine. Maybe acting a bit awkward around my cats sometimes but that's expected...

    Unneutered foster cat is driving me crazy...

    These are all very good suggestions! I’m going to get a waterproof mattress cover on Amazon today so I can clean up the bed. PS. Just found out he LOVE the cat dancer. Will try to tire him out with a few sessions this evening and hopefully he’ll able to rest without crying too much 🤞

    Unneutered foster cat is driving me crazy...

    I agree! We both know it's totally natural and it is not his fault. So I really cannot blame him at all. And every time we visit him, he is so affectionate, just sitting on our laps and purr all the time. And sometimes he climbs on my husband's chest to take a nap. It is very difficult to be mad...

    Unneutered foster cat is driving me crazy...

    We brought back our first foster cat about two weeks ago. He is a unneutered 2-year old male cat. We have separated him in our home office from our three resident cats. He is a super sweet and like to snuggle. We were even considering taking him in. But he has been spraying everywhere and jeez...

    Can I use other meat in a raw chicken recipe?

    So far all of my cats have been eating the raw homemade with little issue. I still need to trick Loki to eat it with some benito flake topping. Sometimes I use a little canned or freezer dried topping to get him stared. But it's funny that once he "found" the food, he actually really like the...

    Foster cat does not groom himself

    I asked the shelter and they provided a ringworm check up yesterday. They said most of the scab seemed like a healing wound due to cat fight. Because he was left at the shelter with another un-neutered male cat, who's also scratched up. I gave him a lot of brushes and now his fur actually looks...

    Foster cat does not groom himself

    I was hoping to feed him higher quality food during the foster time but unfortunately he's not interested in food and barely ate anything (it has been about 24 hours since we got him, and he only licked some wet food). I'll keep observe and see how it goes. Ringworm sounds scary! His hair loss...

    Foster cat does not groom himself

    I just started fostering a male cat that's about 2 year's old. He was abandoned at the shelter, still under the process of vaccination and waiting to be neutered. His coat is oily, dusty, and I can feel scab under his fur. He keeps shedding some clumps of furs with scab at the end. I only got...

    Is this home made recipe balanced?

    Did you try Dr Pierson’s recipe using vitamins? Making Cat Food It uses human grade vitamins which should be easy to find everywhere. I actually learned about Alnutrin later when I have already purchased all the vitamins from her recipe. I’m making homemade food using chicken meat, bone, liver...

    Can I use other meat in a raw chicken recipe?

    It’s really good to hear that I can use different meat in her recipe. I plan to make some beef and lamb this weekend. I actually have the opposite issue - after starting feeding homemade raw this week (I half baked the chicken this time because it’s supermarket meat), my girl pen pen started to...

    Can I use other meat in a raw chicken recipe?

    This is my first time making food for my cats. In the past year I've been feeding them commercial raw plus canned, and some freeze dried raw. But lately I was disappointed with the raw food I got - very expensive and some of the bags are spoiled. I want to start to make food so I can control the...

    Hi! I’m new to this and I just want to have clarity this is normal.

    Forgot to mention, site swapping definitely helps a lot. I think your resident cat is probably unhappy about the lost territory. If it’s possible, definitely let him go in and explore while exclude the kitten in another room or the crate. My opinion might be the unpopular one here but I think...

    Hi! I’m new to this and I just want to have clarity this is normal.

    My example might not be the best since my cats are young, but it sounds similar. I brought back a 6-month old male kitten to my home with 2 residents 1 year old cats (one male one female). I only separated the kitten for a couple days because he got relentlessly very soon, was upset being alone...
