    Dry cracked toe beans

    I haven’t posted on here in some time. My almost 1-year-old, Loki, has some pretty dry toe beans. He is an indoor kitty. I live in the Houston, TX area, so with this high humidity I don’t know that it would be caused by the air. My 3-year-old does not have this problem. Does anyone have...

    Flagyl…ugh

    Does anyone have any tricks for disguising the taste of flagyl somehow? Giving it to my cat has been a traumatic experience. My husband can hold him down while I administer it (although some of it always gets spit out), but he hates it so much that he hides under the bed so there’s no chance of...

    Diarrhea PCR cost?

    I’ve been battling chronic diarrhea in my now 9 month old and now my 2 year old cat has it too after we introduced them 2 months ago. Sigh. We’ve had multiple fecal tests, tried fortiflora, S. Boulardii, elimination diet (on a rabbit protein only diet right now), and nothing is helping! The...

    Swollen lymph nodes after neuter

    My little problem child, 7 month old Loki, got neutered on Monday (5 days ago). I say problem child because he’s FeLV+ (although, a presumed regressive infection) and he already racked up many vet bills in his short life. I noticed today that the lymph nodes in his neck are swollen. He’s also...

    Possible food allergy

    I have a 6-month-old male kitten with some tummy troubles. He battled giardia for the first few months of life. He is now stuck with loose stools (not full on diarrhea, but definitely not firm enough) and very smelly gas. The litter box is a constant stench, now matter how much I clean it. We’ve...

    FeLV kitten update - conflicted

    I’m not sure if anyone remembers me, but I rescued a kitten, Loki, who was diagnosed with FeLV back in August. I am back with an update! We had 2 ELISA tests, 8 weeks apart. Both came out as a strong positive. So from there, the vet deemed him a true positive and that was that. Since our...

    FeLV+ cat with Vaccinated, FeLV- Cat

    I know I’ve posted a few threads about our 4-month old FeLV+ “foster”, Loki, so sorry for posting so much! I am not necessarily going to do this, so don’t flip out, but does anyone have a FeLV+ cat with a vaccinated, FeLV- cat? Reason I am asking is because a few places I’ve read that it might...

    About to lose my mind over chronic giardia

    Hello everyone, Does anyone have any experience with chronic giardia in kittens? Especially immunocompromised ones? My FeLV+ “foster” kitten, Loki, has had it off and on since July since we found him.. and I am at my wits end. The first two rounds, we had him in our small guest bathroom and I...

    High calorie mix-ins?

    My 3-month-old Loki is FeLV+. He has already had a handful parasite issues (most likely because of his compromised immune system, poor guy), but has been able to overcome them all so far. But each time this happens his weight drops or stalls, so he’s had a fair share of set backs. So far, the...

    I feel bad about isolating FeLV+ kitten!

    I want to wait 6-8 weeks before taking our FeLV+ (via SNAP test only) Loki back in for an IFA test & possibly another SNAP to confirm the diagnosis. Holding out a little hope that maybe this guy can kick the virus, but we will see. Here’s my inner dilemma - I feel TERRIBLE for isolating a...

    Advice Needed - FeLV+ kitten with coccidia

    Hello all. Long story ahead. I recently rescued a little stray kitten, who we named Loki, from our neighborhood which backs up to a forest. He is now 7 or 8 weeks old, we rescued him on July 16th. Originally, his first 2 vet appointments only consisted of checking vitals & then for giardia and...
