Thanks, I stopped applying it to him after your post, but now the fungus is getting worse again

I have just rubbed it on the outside of his skin, and he doesn't groom himself yet (so no risk of him ingesting it). It really has helped...

So sorry for the lack of reply! I don't have honey at home, but have coconut oil, so I'm going to try that too. The kitty has had a HUGE improvement since I posted! (And I was able to get him off the bottle and am feeding him a mixture of KMR and wet kitten food daily. So he no longer cries...

Sorry for the lack of updates! I seemed to have made some progress though, as most of his scabs are gone. After posting a desperate message on Facebook as well as here, one of my friends suggested trying to reduce the humidity in the room. Since Manila is very hot and humid, we always have...

I'll post a picture of his scabs next time I clean them (I just put the cream on him, so he looks more goey than anything, hard to see the scabs). Basically you can pick them up with your hand and hair, etc will fall right off with it (you don't even have to put any pressure to remove the...

(Sorry for the double post -- posted on kitten care before, but think here is more appropriate.) Let me start by saying that due to my husband's job, we are currently in Manila, Philippines, so when giving advice, please note that we do not have a Petsmart or many vet options nearby (hence why...

Let me start by saying that due to my husband's job, we are currently in Manila, Philippines, so when giving advice, please note that we do not have a Petsmart or many vet options nearby (hence why I'm asking for help here). Anyway, when we moved to our new place 2 weeks ago, I found this tiny...

I've had Lucas for 3.5 years now and he has always been a very sweet cat. Never been afraid of people and is a social butterfly in general. Anyway, about 3 weeks ago his behavior changed a bit. Out of nowhere he started attacking me. It doesn't last long, but it is very scary when he gets...

Lucas is finally peeing at regular intervals, as opposed to every 5 minutes in a different corner in my apartment, so seems like the meds have kicked in. The vet said that I can check myself if he's blocked, that feeling his stomach you can feel it, and to check periodically just in case...

So Lucas wasn't blocked, thankfully. He has idiopathic FLUTD, so he needs to be on a special diet for life. The vet put him on 4 different medications, though one is only for 3 days, the others should last a couple of weeks. He is still urinating in tiny bits, and there's blood everytime...

Update... I talked to the vet (instead of the assistant who spoke to me before) and she said he could be blocked and it was better not taking any chances. Was able to borrow my coworker's car to drive home, pick him up, drop him off at the vet and come back to work within the hour (taking the...

He had no crystals whatsoever when he went to the vet last week. There is urine coming out, but it's very spotty (it's a dot-size at a time). I don't know if the blood is coming from inside, or if only his genitals are irritated as he keeps licking it all the time. I just called the vet and...

I came back from a 3 day trip last monday and found Lucas going into the litterbox every 10 minutes, but barely anything coming out. He had also peed in spots around my apartment. On Tuesday morning I took him to the vet, who did an urinalysis and found out he had a minor UTI, and prescribed...

Poor kitty! Though I don't understand enough about this, I do believe it might be that -- it might just hurt for him to meow now. Hope he feels better!

Since this started late last night, I had no way to run to the store and get him some pumpkin (there are some 24 hour places around here, however I admit I wanted to stick around just in case). He ate all his food overnight, but he also ran to his litterbox many times as well (I could hear him...

Good news is he's eating now! He's didn't finish all at once as usual, but at least he ate a bit. Editing to add... Will he eat the pumpkin though? If his food doesn't look that great to him right now, would he be willing to eat plain pumpkin?

So Lucas literally just went to the litterbox and he has diarrhea. He has been fine up until now (he's pretty "regular" pooping once a day, so yesterday he was normal), he eagerly ate his dry food this morning, and now won't touch his wet food (which he usually attacks). Absolutely no...

I did explain that to the vet's assistant today who was pushing me in the c/d food and her very rude reply was "well, if you keep giving him your cheap food, he'll be back here again with crystals" Well, all of you here know that Innova Evo & Chicken Soup are nowhere cheap (specially the Evo at...

So Lucas has crystals in his urine. The doctor prescribed antibiotics and also said that Lucas needs to eat Hill's C/D prescription diet FOR LIFE. The hell?? Now is the prescription diet really needed? The reason I ask is that I've done tons and tons of research on cat food when I got Lucas...

Thanks for all you help! I do feed him high quality food now I mix Innova Evo with Chicken Soup. Innova Evo has 50% protein, while Chicken Soup is 30%. Since I'm giving him a 50/50 combination, I guess it averages out as 40% protein in his dry food. The only reason I don't feed him just the...
