    Cat Wheelchair?

    Has anyone utilized one and have tips on use, where to buy, brands etc? I have a kitten diagnosed with dry FIP, the vet believes lesions on her spine are causing her struggles with her back legs. She is on medicine, eating etc but she is struggling to walk on her back legs. She is wobbly...

    My kitten died and I don't know how to cope

    I am so sorry for your loss but glad you were there with her. I took in a three week old kitten back in July and nursed her to health from a bad state and at 12 weeks of age she was still the size of a 6 wk old. We altered our lives for her basically to provide her with tbe best care during her...

    My Daisy Mae

    Well I typed up a long post and cried and cried during it. And it had an error message and I lost the post. Starting over and trying to make it shorter. Daisy Mae was 3 weeks and 1/2 a lb when she arrived at my home. She had been outside a couple days, abandoned by mama and left alone in a...

    Kitten with Hypoglycemia not responding to treatments..

    Just thought I would update in case anyone else goes through this. Daisy Mae was on a dextrose drip from Friday morning on. By Saturday morning they said they believed they couldn't do much more. She was too small for more blood tests and her glucose wasn't stabilizing. They went from 5 to 7.5...

    Kitten with Hypoglycemia not responding to treatments..

    She (vet) said it would be extremely rare to find a tumor because her blood cell counts are good and she is so young. They tested her liver and said it was fine too so they don't suspect toxins. It sucks. We keep asking them if there is anything else we can do or anything they can recommend...

    Kitten with Hypoglycemia not responding to treatments..

    I am trying to see if anyone has had a similar experience or anything, or has any suggestions for me. This may be long and I apologize, I am trying to get all info out and keep my mind off things. Early July my husband and I rescued a kitten. The kitten was tiny, and found outside in the heat...

    Anemic, not eating & can't find a reason why

    We are calling a couple mobile vets in the morning to try and see if we can get someone to come to our house to put him to sleep. We want to stop his suffering. I am not sure any of them work Sundays but I hope so. He is definitely nearing the end which we expected by tomorrow anyway. We just...

    Anemic, not eating & can't find a reason why

    Jake went to a vet Tuesday, and two on Friday. The two Friday, one a regular vet and another an emergency vet, both agreed anesthesia with his weakened state wasn't a good idea. He needs surgery no matter what and I honestly just can't put him through another car ride and vet visit to get more...

    Anemic, not eating & can't find a reason why

    Went to a different vet clinic today. She checked him out and unfortunately said he needed a transfusion and while she had a couple ideas of what may be causing the anemia, she'd have to send out the blood for tests and it would take a few days for results and she didn't think he had a few days...

    Anemic, not eating & can't find a reason why

    No the vet did NONE of that. He told us that anemia shouldn't cause loss of appetite. We researched a TON last night and realized he could have done a lot more than he did (the vet). I think it's because it was almost their closing time that they just didn't delve into things more. Honestly I...

    Anemic, not eating & can't find a reason why

    Haven't posted in awhile but my oldest kitty is having an issue. He is about 13, was a shelter cat rescue when he was adopted by my husband as a young cat so no full birthdate is known. He loves dry food and has always been a little chunky. More solid than fat. Last month he stopped eating...
