    Digestive issues???

    Thank you-he has an appt. Mon. Fortunately, there have not been any other incidents...thinking he may have eaten something he shouldn't have, so I'm hoping no more issues.

    Digestive issues???

    I see how you're confused. They are puddles, but they're mucosy (which I neglected to mention) which makes me think it's stomach-related. So, he had 2 episodes since Friday (1 Tuesday, 1 Friday). Since that time, he has been acting like his normal self, though when I put his food down in the...

    Digestive issues???

    My 8 month old kitten who weighs 12 lbs. and has a voracious appetite would not eat his breakfast the other morning. He did however, chase and eat pieces of kibble that I threw to him. I found a puddle on the basement floor that was slightly blood tinged. He later ate a huge dinner and seemed...

    Cat constipated

    He eats both wet and dry, but I put the Miralax in the wet food. You know, I totally forgot about the pumpkin-thanks for reminding me! How much would you recommend trying?

    Cat constipated

    He is on a 1/4 tsp. twice daily-not sure how much he weighs, but he is a large cat-maybe 14 lbs??

    Cat constipated

    Hi, I just put the Miralax in his food-have been doing it that way for a long time. Am I supposed to dissolve in water first??? I haven't talked to the vet yet-guessing they will have to do a work-up. Thanks!

    Cat constipated

    My Senior cat (19) has been constipated the past few days. I have a call in to the vet, but has anyone had this issue? He has been on Miralax for a long time but just wondering what has been recommended? He is pooping a little but obviously constipated and won't let me clean him. Any advice??

    Upper Respiratory Infections

    The vet was going to come by, but the next day, he rebounded and has been fine! She did prescribe Clavamox however, and I do have it in the house should I need it. Thank you!

    Unsure of when to take next step in cat introductions

    I did this just recently with our new kitten. It sounds like things are moving along as they should! We were fortunate in that we have a glass door to the kitchen, so we were able to put the kitten in there, and the older cat could watch from outside the door. If you have something like this...

    Upper Respiratory Infections

    My 19 year old kitty was out of sorts this past Monday and didn't eat/drink much. That was concerning b/c he LOVES his food! I called the vet. She thought it was upper respiratory and prescribed Clavamox. He ate a tiny bit of tuna juice/tuna that night. The next day, he seemed back to his...

    "Recovery Suit" Advice Needed!

    My kitty just got neutered yesterday, and a friend loaned me a recovery suit, so he wouldn't lick the incision-looks like a little cat romper! The straps are a bit loose around his legs, so I'm noticing that he does seem to be able to lick in that area. I don't think he's doing it a lot but...

    Introducing new kitten to resident cats

    Yes, it is an open litter box that he's using. The problem seems to have resolved since I removed the laundry basket, but I never knew they go for that! I do think your idea of more than 1 box is a good one though. Thank you!

    Introducing new kitten to resident cats

    There is only 1 litter box, and that is a good suggestion to increase. He seems to be OK now and using his box since I removed the laundry basket. It is funny how they tend to pee/poop in different boxes, isn't it?! They're just fascinating little creatures! I did not know that kittens have...

    Introducing new kitten to resident cats

    I'm trying to remember if M was still hissing? I believe she was-at least some of the time, though they did touch noses briefly at one point, so that was positive. I do think I'll continue swapping them out and using the glass door for a bit just to be sure, but I appreciate your positivity...
