    Deworm a new kitten

    Sabrinalejo, the dewormer I used with these babies is based on Pyrantel, and it was a very very small dose. It was a desperate attempt to save these kitties. It worked but it should be only used with newborn kitties when there is nothing else to do and when we know with certainty that they will...

    Sorry for not getting back sooner to you with news... It's been hectic at the shelter. Fortunately, I am back with good news. These 2 babies have survived!!! Though they had to be dewormed 3 times before having the right age for that. Against all medical advice, still we are convinced that...

    Deworming newborn kittens

    Desperate times call for desperate measures. They die if I do, and they die if I don't... So last night I gave each one of them a few drops of dewormer then gave them milk to be sure that the dewormer would be absorved. Against the advice of the vet, of course, but... who knows... And I have...

    Deworming newborn kittens

    She says we can't do anything before they are 3 weeks old. If I don't do anything they will die of the worms. If I deworm them, they can die from the dewormer... I m thinking I will take the risk of deworm them. If I don't do anything, they die. If I do, they will die also. Anyway, it's...

    Does my kitten have a cold?

    To be honest with you, I wouldn't wait until late next week... Cats are much more sensitive then us humans to colds. You say that she is less active and sleeps all the time, that's not a good sign, she might have a fever. It's highly unlikely that she will get better on her own.

    Kitten not playing and jumping anymore

    My vet advises his clients to wait 2 months before introducing a new cat in a home where a cat died of PIF. He says that everything needs to be desinfected with bleach or a medical desinfectant. Everything that belonged to the cat like blankets, pillows, bed, litter box, plates etc should be...
