Hi @Maurey we only just noticed it - so never mentioned when in the vet. No rattling in the lungs just breathes really fast with his mouth shut. I will call the Vet tomorrow and see what they say. I did read on the internet about 30 a minute but was unsure if a young kitten was any different…

Hi All, I adopted two kittens from a cat rescue center 10 days ago - 2 brothers - they spent the first 6 weeks of their life outside and then with a foster family for a month. They are about 3 months old. I have taken them to the vet - got wormed - had vaccinations etc One has a very deep bad...

Sending you and Gryskat thoughts and positive vibes from Ireland.

Beautiful post - RIP Ruckus - he looks like such a friendly loving Cat 🐱

Rip Hazel :)

We saw the new vet today who our cat sitter recommended and unfortunately after an analysis of Kitska and previous medical history we had very few options left…. The vet felt there was definitely something else up with Kitska and maybe neurological…. One option was to send Kitska to a...

Took Kitska to the Vet again today - temperature back up to fever level and lost more weight now - 3kg. Not a lot of options left as they don’t know what is causing the fever - so antibiotics not working. She has not eaten in over 2.5 days now. Best option they say is Euthanasia now - I am...

Thanks @silent meowlook FELV is one nasty disease - I never heard of it until she was tested when she got sick 1 month ago. Can’t believe how a healthy cat of about 5 years old has deteriorated so much in 4-5 weeks - it’s shocking and heartbreaking. Wish I had heard of the vaccine before…

Thanks @FeebysOwner will give them a shout first thing!

Yes I tried canned tuna in water and she licked a bit and moved away. No I have not tried the A/D recovery food :( Looks like can only buy in 26 cans in Europe…

So it has only been 4 hours since my last post - I thought with the no fever she would start to eat and drink. Unfortunately not - tried all foods… she just wants to sleep. When she walks as I pick her up to bring her to food - she stumbles on her feet. Not in a good place. I also don’t think I...

Took her to the vet earlier and temperature has dropped! 39.4c which is just about within normal range and not a fever. She is lethargic today - but it is quite warm today…. We have been given metacam to give her for next 5 days whilst she recovers..…. This little cat really is using up all her...

I got Kitska eating on Saturday and Sunday - whiskas cat food (about 75grams on both Saturday and today). She has also been from drinking a bit of water and cat milk. I brought her to the vets on Saturday and she still had a fever after 24 hours of antibiotics. She has been very active in the...

Thanks @FeebysOwner - I just got her to eat a little. Grilled some bacon - not the healthiest thing I know but she did eat some!

Kistka has been back home for 1 week now. She has been eating little bits and pieces every day until yesterday afternoon where she stopped eating again and became withdrawn. Took her to the vet today and she has a fever again. They vet tested her kidneys and they are fine within normal range...

Kitska is home now. She stayed in for 2 more days on the IV drip. So had 5 days overall. Also can now fully stand up and walk about. Her kidneys have been tested again on Friday and back in normal range! She has been sleeping a lot and having very small amounts of food. Little bit of turkey and...

Kitska came back at 5pm yesterday and she looked like she had made a great improvement- she could walk and stand herself - something she could not previously do. For the first 2 hours she was walking all over the house and enclosed back yard - then got very sleepy. She also refused to eat food -...

Thank you everyone for the support and good thoughts and prayers! I believe the positive vibes are paying off. I just spoke to the vet and they redid the kidney tests and they are back within normal range!! However she is still not eating and depressed - so the vet will send her home tonight and...

I just spoke to the Vet and he said Kitska has tested positive for kidney failure and believes in last 2 weeks eaten something really toxic as blood was done a couple of weeks ago and kidneys were fine. Her kidneys are in a bad way so she will stay at Vet until Wednesday on IV - then he said...

Hi @neely and @FeebysOwner, Kitska had a rough night - but started to drink water by herself, I stayed up with her all night - slept on the couch. She was constantly moving - not sleeping - still not really walking. Took her to the vet at 8am - and questioned the need for Anesthesia. The vet...
