    Fresh blood around anus

    Unfortunately he wont eat an all canned diet nor can I afford to feed an all canned diet. He only eats half a can and its at night, offer it any other time he wont eat it. Im feeding 6 cats, so I give everyone canned at night and kibble during the day.

    Yeah wouldnt cost $100 to euthanize a cat here. Your looking at close to $300 JUST to put them to sleep.

    Feline leukemia positive cat vet says put to sleep

    If your vet keeps pushing you to euthanize this cat perhaps its time for a new vet. Seems like he/she may only care about the money they will get from putting the cat down

    Feeding only one protein causes allergies?

    I am feeding 6 cats Kirkland Signature kibble and a variety of canned food. I was told that I need to switch in a bag of kibble of a different flavour once in a while to prevent them from developing an allergy to the main protein in the kibble they are eating now which is chicken. Is there any...

    Cat Hates Canned Food

    Last night I got a new canned food (science diet turkey pate) and I added water and made that sucker into pure liquid and he lapped it up and ate his 1/4 of the can. Going to try doing that again tonight and see if he eats it. I may try the Parmesan cheese trick to

    Ulcers in kittens mouth, vet said stomatitis and glossitis?

    The adoption agreement states I must give him back to the rescue if I choose to not keep him. Hes technically my sisters cat so thats gotta be her decision.

    Ulcers in kittens mouth, vet said stomatitis and glossitis?

    Im not sure if the ulcer was caused by him rubbing his eye or if the infection caused the ulcer. I read that if a cat has calcivirus it can also get ulcers in the eyes as well. Is there any truth to this?

    Ulcers in kittens mouth, vet said stomatitis and glossitis?

    They have been on Lysine for over 2 weeks. We put them as as soon as we noticed Flynn was sick. We also added a probiotic the same time.

    Ulcers in kittens mouth, vet said stomatitis and glossitis?

    Just an update. Flynn the one we adopted from the rescue that introduced this infection now has an eye ulcer on top of his infection. I think we may end up giving him back to the rescue we got him from we can't keep forking out money for an infection that we can't seem to get rid of

    Ulcers in kittens mouth, vet said stomatitis and glossitis?

    I cant afford to go to the vet again Ive spent over $500 on these cats in the last month. My money is dry. Maybe I will just get rid of a few cats and hopefully that isolates whatever it is because only he is showing symptoms of an eye issue no one else is

    Ulcers in kittens mouth, vet said stomatitis and glossitis?

    Rileys eyes look great but now the kitten that brought the infection into the house has another eye infection in his other eye. Ugh. Maybe I should get rid of a few cats? I was told having to many can make it so you have constant illness but I dont understand my cats dont seem stressed, they...

    Ulcers in kittens mouth, vet said stomatitis and glossitis?

    I took him to my regular vet today and she told me the stomatitis was gone... She said the redness in the back was likely from a bit of gingivitis or the tooth coming in

    Ulcers in kittens mouth, vet said stomatitis and glossitis?

    Our shelter doesnt have this testing, they dont even neuter. In Canada, not many shelters off this. I dont mind testing for Feluk or FIV as long as its something that needs to be done. If he comes back positive for feluk isnt that something he needs to euthed for?

    Ulcers in kittens mouth, vet said stomatitis and glossitis?

    Only 2 of the cats are mine. The rest are my sisters. She's financially responsible for her own but because she brought this sickness into the house she's paying the vet bills. I don't test the cats for feline leukemia or fiv I never have and have never had any issues until now. I had funds...

    Ulcers in kittens mouth, vet said stomatitis and glossitis?
