That’s interesting about the diatomaceous earth...how much do you give them?

Clean cat boxes with diluted bleach (make sure it's fresh and normal, not scented or splash-less) 2-3 times a week. Spray down the cat tree and areas around the litter box with Rescue brand spray (not the wipes-the spray). You don't have to throw the cat tree or toys away if you clean it well...

Put a litter box in the corner for now and see if they use it. Do they look like they are straining when they go to the bathroom? Have they been dewormed?

Is she still nursing on the mother cat? What are their weights?

Let us know what the shelter says! I hope they're willing to help!

Also unplug all cords he could reach and make sure the toilet lid is shut. :)

I would try introductions again. Even if mom doesn't like them and won't let them nurse, they can learn from the older kittens and get more stimulation. You might also want to see if they will try wet food as well, or even a KMR/wet food slurry. Although weaning age is normally 4-5 weeks old for...

Ask your landlord and neighbors if they could chip in some money for a TNR situation. You'll need a humane trap and will have to pay for spay and neuter. Depending on where you live, there are clinics that will spay/neuter cats for cheap. TNR is the single best way to decrease the amount of...

I’m leaning towards female but with tabbies it can be hard to tell. Is the opening a slit or a dot?

My vet tells me that a spayed adult cat should be monitored for about 2 weeks, just to give you an idea. I’m sure your vet will go over postoperative care with you.

I have a tiny orphan foster kitten, younger than a week old. 97 grams. His brother unfortunately passed away this morning due to FKS, leaving him all alone. He has a snuggle puppy with a heartbeat and a heated disc, but no other kittens. I just agreed to take in another single orphan kitten...

I have a happy update! They’ve had solid poo for a few weeks now and everyone is back on track! They’re ten weeks old and right around 2 lbs. I can’t wait to see these babies find their forever homes after having such a rough start to life. Thank you all for the support and responses! <3

So I finally convinced the shelter vet to do another fecal exam and lo and behold, they have coccidia. They are on Albon now for nine days. One of the kittens actually had to be admitted to an ER vet and stay there tonight because of dehydration and lethargy. I won’t go into a rant, but I’ll...

Thanks all! Sounds like everyone’s in agreement that it’s more likely to be a parasite, which is what I was thinking as well. They do test for coccidia, but not giardia. Instead of doing a more in-depth depth fecal test, they’ll probably just assume that’s what it is and treat for it.

I have six foster kittens who have had liquid diarrhea for about two weeks now. They’ve been to the shelter vet. The stool sample came back negative, but they gave me some panacur and prescription dietary food made of chicken. That didn’t work so I’ve been giving them S. Boulardii and Pet...

Entry for my fluffy black cat, Bear! I've asked many people what they thought his breed is and have never gotten a definitive answer. I'm curious to know!

Extremely rare, if not impossible. Sickness hit my family pretty hard last year. Flu, strep, and bronchitis spread between 6 people. The cats slept in our beds while we were sick and they never caught a thing.

Is there a hole? Is there pus coming out of it? (sorry for all the questions its just a bit hard to tell from pictures). You may want to email the picture to your vet to take a look at if they will allow it.

It's common for pregnant cats to want to lay on cold floors because they can get hot and uncomfortable so it makes sense she would want to lay on the tiles. Maybe she will end up choosing the box during birth. Thank you for being such a caring cat owner!

Try and block off any places that are unsafe. Make sure the spots you want her to nest are quiet, away from males, warm, and dark. I'd also find a different vet just in case you need anything or something goes wrong. It seems as if your current vet isn't very experienced with pregnant or...
