    Smelly soft poo

    That zoological site does not list how much the diarrea tests cost. Also, Spif has more "soft serve" that diarrea. None of my other three cats have soft poo, so whatever is causing his does not seem to be contagious. I think I will start to give him just one specific food all the time for a few...

    Smelly soft poo

    Spif was adopted the end of October and had smelly, soft (sometimes drippy mud) poo. After a second negative parasite test, and another dose of wormer, and getting psyllium husk and fortiflora probiotic there has been only a slight improvement. His diet is fancy feast pates, and purina one...

    former feral help

    Fudge was a feral kitten around 3 months old when he was trapped. He looks like a seal point siamese. I fostered he and his sister, and they were in a crate until they became used to me, and my other cats. Sister got adopted and was more sociable than Fudge from the beginning. It has been 4...

    I have to take my sweet boy today

    Thank you for your support. we took a nap after he had his sedative. I realized then, the way he was so relaxed laying there, that he must have been in pain the past week or so. He had a lymphoma growth in his belly. The vet was kind, it was a shot pf anesthesia, and then a shot in his vein. It...

    Violet weighs 13 pounds and should weigh 8, she eats everything

    My Violet is so fat, and she is a small framed girl. Recently, we had to go to the ER and I spent 1600 dollars because she was so constipated she needed numerous overnight enemas to get her unblocked. She is constantly crying for food, and I feed her separate from the other cats so she stays...

    I have to take my sweet boy today

    I am so crushed. He was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma last month. He is 16. The steroids increased his appetite and he was doing well until he started sneezing everytime he would go to eat. allergy meds dont work, he is barely eating, and I know he is not happy. I cant do this. I love him...

    Ant Problem In Studio Apartment

    My ants come in through the back door, where there are two litter boxes. They were terrible last year, and the terro, which works great usually, did not help but continued to bring in more. It is the back door, so baiting them doesn't work, I can't kill every ant that lives in the yard. I want...

    Kidney Disesase, Euthanasia

    That picture is a few years old. His coat is not as nice now, and he is skinny. He still has that beautiful face. I read the link someone put above and he is often in the "meatloaf" position. I seldom see him sleeping comfortably. I don't want to prolong discomfort but the alternative is not...

After shoving pills down his throat and poking him he eats and goes behind a couch and stays there all day till it is time to eat. The weather is...

    Dental And Forl

    I have not had him back to the vet, but 1400 dollars is what it costs to xray around here and that does not include whatever else needs to be done. I am just going to take him back to the regular vet and have the affected teeth removed as they become evident. He is 14 years old, and I am sure...

    Dental And Forl

    My cat has a condition where the tooth gets reabsorbed into the gum. It is painful for the cat. I recently had a dental and he had a big rooted tooth removed due to this condition.

    toxoplasmosis... fear my baby is dying

    well, technically, he has only been treated for it for 6 days, with one antibiotic, and then 4 days with 2 antibiotics, but he is not showing any improvement. the subq fluids help, and the appetite stimulant worked better yesterday than it did today. But he does not feel good, and I think he...
