    Diarrhea and poop issues in 9.5-month old kitten

    TL/DR: Kitten always had loose stools; fecal test came back negative in September, tried different food/probiotics, started getting diarrhea this week - not sure where to go next. My 9.5-month old female kitten Chloë has always had poop issues since we got her at the end of July; they were...

    Gastroenteritis and recovery timeline?

    Yes me again and this time a different cat (8-month old male kitten). Oliver had been having some loose stools for a bit and we thought he was having issues with hairballs maybe so we were trying a few different things. This progressed to diarrhea with him vocalizing in the box and some...

    Kitten ate sewing thread!!

    My 8-month old kitten ate some bits of sewing thread that I threw in the kitchen sink this Tuesday - I found her over the sink with a long piece hanging out of her mouth which I was able to get from her. I didn't really think she had actually eaten any at the time and thought the rest had...

    Kitten breathing normal?

    Adopted a pair of kittens about a month ago who were rescued from a cat colony outside. They are now about 4 months old but we have noticed the female breathes a little oddly - that is she breathes faster than expected when at full rest, but also somewhat forcefully and irregularly... Here's a...

    Question about rabies vaccine; first booster and 1-year vs 3-years

    Our pair of kitten will be getting their first rabies vaccine in about two weeks; we were told it would be the recombinant/non-adjuvenated 1-year Purevax version. Now it appears that PureVax has a 1-year version and a 3-year version - where the dose is apparently the same, it's just the label...

    Ranula (mucocele) - anyone experienced?

    16-year old cat with CKD, mild HCM, and now OSCC. Because he is really the unluckiest cat ever, he also recently developped a ranula - a large fluid-filled (saliva) cyst under his tongue due to a damaged salivary gland. The general treatment for this is marsupialization (making a permanent...

    Lump on chin - diagnosed wih cancer (follow-up)

    I posted a week or so ago about my cat excessively licking his lips, then him having his jaw slightly askew and then a hard lump just popping out on his chin. Literally this lump was not there at all on the Saturday and then bam - it was there on the Monday. The vet assessed it and was able to...

    Cat upper tooth going into inside lower gum?

    Our cat has always had this thing where his upper tooth would sometime catch on his lower lip/gum occasionally. But since the last couple of weeks, it started happening more and more and it's been constant for the last couple of days. It's like his upper canine is going inside the lower gum...

    Cat won't eat - despite Cerenia and mirtazapine?

    Quick recap; brought our 15 year old cat with CKD to the ER vet last Monday night due to a tail injury; was only seen the next afternoon but no fractures on x-rays, some inflammation consistent with some type of injury so we were sent home with gabapentin. Had an odd experience with the...

    Injured tail - limp and straight down

    When I came home on Monday night, something was wrong with my cat - he was in pain and sitting with his butt all high in the hair; on closer inspection, his tail was limp and pointing straight down (like full 90 degrees) and it didn't look like he could move it. Cue the ER visit - they...

    Need help estimating kitten age for cat memorial

    Our cat passed away last week; we initially adopted her from the humane society/pet store on April 14, 2005. Her date of birth had been marked as being February 13 2005, which would have made her 2 months at the time. We don't think she was actually two months as she seemed too small to have...
