I am thinking it couls be guirdia or clamidia could be the culprits. They cause loose smelly stools and the reddness could be from stomach acid that is passed with the stool. Add a little pumpkin to help solidify the stool and let us know what the vet has to say! Teresa

I agree that she shouldn't be kept outside all day. Can you invest in a doggie door? This way she can come and go as she pleases. If you live anywhere that there are raccoons, eagles, or opposums, they can attack your pup. Being there is the best option, but a doggie door will help her go...

Today we are just going to hang out at some friends house, then I have a critical care class for animals, then home to make dinner.

Actually the cancer at the shot site is from the yearly shots. This is caused by damaging that area over and over with the injections. If the vet rotates the injection site, the risk of cancer is greatly redused. Cats can get fleas from both dogs and cats and this can lead to tape worms, as the...

Being a good mouser is a LEARNED behaviour. If the mom never taught them it will be harder for them to figure it out. They can learn on their own, but it takes longer than if they ahd learned as a kitten.

If it is your place, just tell them that the cats come with the territory and they will have to keep the door closed. An open door means come in to both people and cats. If the place is in everyone's name and they are your cats, you need to be responsible and keep them in your room with the...

I am wondering if you have house plants he is munching or if you are using Pine Sol or other cleaners that have proven to cause illness in kitties. Some kitties are more sensitive to chemicals than others so that is why only one is ill. Just my 2 cents worth Teresa

Chocolate can be toxic! At least for dogs. I would rather be safe than sorry! LOL Teresa

Your kitty looks like it is mostly white? Is it an indoor/outdoor kitty? Lighter colored kitties that spend a lot of time outside can get skin cancer. It could have been a precancerous growth. Use sun block on their ears when kitties are planning to go outside. Teresa

As for being vocal, it is a trait of being siamese or part siamese. These cats "talk" constantly. It is part of their genetic makeup. It is just the way they are. It doesn't mean that he is hungry, bored, lonely, scared, or fearful any more than having a longer coat does. LOL He just likes the...

You should take her to the vet ASAP as the kitten could die if not born on time. She may need a boost of calcium to get her labor going again.

You might have to place them in a small enclosure with the litter box at one end and their food and bed at the other. Kittens should not potty where their food and bedding is located. You will also need to wash the tiled floor with natures miricle to get rid of the smell. You cannot smell it...

Fleas do not live on your cats but can live in your carpet. Borax is a laundry additive and should be found near the laundry soap at many stores. You must vaccuum every day in every room of the house. Throw away the vaccuum bag immediatly after as the fleas will survive in the bag and make...

Keep his nails trimmed and when he does the attacks do a high pitched MEOW. This is how they let each other know they are getting hurt. Immediatly stop playing with him and give him no attention. By reacting to what does it is reinforcing that it is a fun game because you chase him. By getting...

Just a word of warning about the bitter apple. Make sure to wash your hands well before eating. Nothing will ruin your sandwich like the taste of bitter apple! LOL Teresa

It could be her de clawing was botched and the claws are trying to regrow and causing discomfort and swelling as they try to come through the skin. Declawing often leads to problems for the life of the cat. I hope you will try another vet to get a second opinion and maybe xrays to see what is...

It could be anything so do not jump straight to the cancer card. The lump could be an absess from a tiny sore that got infected, it could be a fatty deposit that built up. It could be a bug bite. It could be anything. The vet will clear up any worries and all will be well.

Sure you can take her to a vet and have her tested for PKD and all the other illnesses to make sure it is not contagious to other cats. There is a DNA test for PKD so do not let them talk you into a scan it will not be as accurate.
