Hi all, My boy Dumpling (1.5 yrs) has been through the ringer the last month. In early Feb he had a fever, which went away but came back two weeks later with nausea so the vet did a blood test and put him on antibiotics. The blood test came back with white blood cells elevated so the vet...

I thought this little mark underneath my cat's eye was just his white fur stained by a bit of eye goop but I've realised today it's a little wound. I'm now wondering if there is another one forming under his other eye? He doesn't seem troubled so I don't think this is a vet issue yet (happy to...

Hello, Hoping to get some ideas for what I can try or ask my vet to do. I've had Biscuit since early December. He's now 16 weeks old. He's had diarrhea since Dec 15 or thereabouts. It's ranged from pretty okay poops to soft/wet poops between four and six times a day (but only once or twice has...

I just took my 14 week old new kitten to the vet as he's had diarrhea for a week. The vet looked at his poo under a microscope and said he could see something "mobile" i.e a possibly parasite. He did a giardia test right away and it was negative but as the kitten is doing well he didn't want to...

I adopted a kitten from a shelter 7 days ago. They told me he'd had an eye infection which they'd treated with an ointment. 4 or so days later his eyes were very goopy with green yellow discharge. They sent me to a local associate vet who gave me chloroptsone ointment with instructions to use it...

Hi everyone, My 1 year old Dumpling just had a poo PCR test done and it came back positive for giardia antigen. He had giardia in Dec last year. The purpose of the poop test was to see if he was positive for the coronavirus that mutates into FIP as his littermate and my baby Noodle died a few...

Hi, Last night my 6 month kitten hopped up on the stove and burnt his paw. He didn't make any sound and was walking on it okay straight away, just licking it. I ran some cold water over it and had a good look but couldn't see any singing, blistering or anything like that and his paw was as pink...

Hi all, I've just begun to change the wet food my 4 1/2 month old kittens eat from Royal Canin Kitten to Paw and Spoon Kitten. I'm changing as Paw and Spoon is a bit cheaper and it actually lists what meat is in the food and doesn't include any cereals, so I'm hoping it's better overall. My long...

Hi all, I'm fostering for a local shelter and currently have a very friendly/social mum cat and her six kittens. The kittens are 2 1/2 weeks old. I picked them up two weeks ago. Background: when I collected them, I had planned that the large carrier would serve as a nesting box. However it was...

Hi all, I have a new foster crew who were found by a good samaritan at maybe around 4 weeks old. She scooped up mum and 3 kittens but unfortunately it was peak kitten season and no shelters or fosters were available. She managed to convince a friend to keep them for a short time. She described...

Hi all, I've taken in a pregnant mum via a rescue shelter to foster until the kittens are old enough to be adopted. I think she'll give birth soon as she's pretty big, has stopped eating as much and her kittens are moving a lot in her belly. She's still really scared of us... we've had her for...

Hi, Four days ago I had a pregnant mum arrive - I'm fostering for a local rescue shelter. I don't know much about the cat except that she was on the streets and someone feeding the strays noticed she was pregnant and caught her. The rescue lady thought she was maybe halfway through her...
