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 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...

I have a foster cat with four 2 week old babies. I got her a week ago. At first, she wouldn’t eat anything for two-three days and only drank water. Then, she finally started eating dry food. But what concerns me is her excessive water intake... about 19-24 oz a day. If she’s not laying with the...

I just picked up these little 1 week old darlings and their mom yesterday! This is Etna: This is Vesuvio: This is Fuji: This is Kea And mama Loa:

If you look in her left ear, can see red spots on the tip of her ear! It’s definitely on the inside, so not a rash or skin issue. I just noticed it this morning. Should I be worried? It looks almost like the blood vessel popped.

I have five foster kittens. I’ve had them since their mother gave birth. The mom has since been spayed and adopted out because the babies are fully weaned. Three of the babies are well above two pounds, but two are a lot smaller. About two weeks ago, both had an issue with constipation and they...

I have a 9 week old foster kitten whom I’ve fostered since birth with her mom and litter mates. Last week, she and her sister went through issues with constipation where they would sit in the litter box, strain, and cry. After several trips to the vet, fluids, and a myriad of medications and...

I have a foster cat, 1.5 years old, who had a litter of kittens that are now 8 weeks old and fully weaned, almost ready to go off to their forever homes in 2 weeks. The problem is that she meows CONSANTLY. It started when the kittens were 2 weeks old. We keep her in the “foster room” and don’t...

I just picked up a pregnant foster cat tonight. She came from a hoarding situation and I was warned that the inbreeding going on there could cause some issues with the babies. I want to know what to expect... stillbirths? Heart problems? Cleft palates? I’m a bit nervous because it’s only my...

I have a 2 year old male cat named Bear. He’s got a medium length coat. He’s neutered. He’s an indoor cat. He’s active and eating well. A few months ago, he had diarrhea that passed within a few days, so we decided not to take him in. The next day, I picked him up and this weird cloudy liquid...

I’ve had this foster kitten, Buttons, since he was two weeks old. He is now 15 weeks old. All of his siblings were fixed and adopted out a 1.5 months ago, but he didn’t weigh enough, so he stayed with me. Anyway, a different pair of kittens that I had fostered along with button’s siblings were...

I read an article about a kitten who died because someone fed them cows milk, which contains lactose. So my question is: lactose intolerant humans can take lactase enzyme drops to help digest the lactose in their systems. Would this have the same effect on a kitten? For example, someone brings...

My cat is 8 years old. She’s 11 pounds, a healthy weight for her size. She eats wet food and a handful (seriously a tiny amount) of grain-free dry food at night. She has been eating a 5.5oz can of friskies wet food a day (half in morning, half at night) , no specific texture or flavor. All of...

I have a foster kitten, found at two weeks old as a orphan stray. He is 11 weeks old and looks different than any other kitten I’ve had, including his own siblings (a calico, orange tabby, grey tabby, black tabby, and black with mittens). A lot of people have said he looks like a opossum because...

My black cat, Bear, is about 2 years old and was an orphan that I adopted from a cat rescue as a kitten. He’s an indoor cat, never been outside. He has had all of his shots. He might be a carrier for FHV from his mother, but he was never tested. Maybe I didn’t wash my hands thoroughly enough...

I just got in two new foster kittens, about 2 months old, very thin. I noticed one of them has a dark red rash on his stomach. It is kind of circular, and it doesn't hurt him to touch it in fact it doesn't seem to bother him at all. It isn't under the skin, it's definitely on the skin. The skin...

You may remember my (now closed) thread about my litter of four with a sick and fading kitten. Two kittens didn't make it, two did. Mom abandoned them and now I am tube feeding, as they are to weak to suckle. One kitten is peeing and pooping normally, but the other kitten won't pee. I can feel...

I was petting mom a couple minutes ago and noticed that about three of her nipples felt swollen and firm, while the others felt soft and flat. The three nipples weren't red and she didn't seem to be in pain when I touched them, but they are much more swollen than the other nipples. Is this...

i have a thread for my nursing cat but the topic keeps changing between kitten weight problems, mom's nursing problems, etc. how can I change the thread so that people know the current issue I'm having?

My foster cat had four healthy kittens yesterday, march 31, in the morning. They are all doing well except one of them has a back end that is caked in poop. His tail is also covered. I figured momma would clean him up but I've been checking all day and she hasn't done anything. I don't want...
