    Does his tooth look bad?

    They both ate full meals yesterday and there's firm poop in the box (never thought I'd be happy to see poop!). They seem to be back to themselves. So odd it was both of them. Im wondering if it was stress from me being away for a few days or they got a virus (no idea how since they're indoors)...

    How long should they stay on appetite stimulant?

    I wound up calling my regular vet who promptly got back to me. Thankfully she had gotten his records from the emergency vet. She advised at least through the weekend on the stimulant

    Calorie... Wet food

    I honestly don't quite follow that calorie rule. I feel like its a different rule per brand/type of food. I judge based on how much my cat eats and the weight. I use the brand's recommendation as a start, and take it from there. If they look skinny or is very active, I feed a little more. if...

    How long should they stay on appetite stimulant?

    My vet isn't calling me back. I've been giving my cats Mirtazapine, the topical one that goes on the ear. Been 3 days since they were on it and today's the first time they had a normal appetite. Should I stop, or give it a few more days to ensure they continue to eat?

    Identify and Advise please

    Looks like it could be ringworms. I'd have a vet look at it

    Does his tooth look bad?

    Still not eating as much, but picking at his food. Took him again to the vet on Sunday because I didn't like that he wasn't improving and wanted further testing. He's had X-rays done, blood work- the only thing off was that his red blood cells was a little low. Nothing that would cause him to...

    Cat severely lethargic but vet can’t figure out anything physically wrong

    I hope you figure this out. I'm dealing with the very same with both of my cats. I feel you.

    Does his tooth look bad?

    Ate a few bites of dinner last night but refused breakfast today. He's lethargic and depressed looking. I looked up the side effects of the anti-nausea and it's one of the side effects. I hope he perks up soon. Started giving him the food stimulant on his ear too, hope that works as well

    Does his tooth look bad?

    update: The vet wasn't concerned with the tooth. He said the yellow is fine, the gum isn't inflamed or too irritated- typical for his age. He felt nothing in his stomach, which was a relief. He gave me some anti-nausea meds (probably from throwing up a massive hairball) and appetite simulants...

    Does his tooth look bad?

    I’m investigating reasons why my cat isn’t eating. Vets are closed and I can’t afford emergency vet right now does his tooth look bad? I will call the vet Monday and hope he eats something Edited to add- I’m at the emergency vet with him now. I need a peace of mind and hate that he’s not...

    How long from potentially eating a foreign object till something's wrong?

    From the time a cat ingest something he shouldn't, how long until it becomes a problem? 2 days? 3 days? I'm trying to get a better understanding of a timeline

    Hairball and not eating

    I'm glad I saw it too when cleaning. I saved the pieces to show them tomorrow. He did eat a few more bites of food, and drinking water which is a good sign. Acting normally, mostly. Even played a little. He isn't mopey or anything. I tried to give him the meds that the vet gave me to calm him...

    Hairball and not eating

    I found pieces of wooden plant decor on the floor. It's thin and sharp, almost like a needle though not as hard. Now I'm sure he ate some of those- really hope it doesn't rupture anything inside him! He ate a few bites of food earlier, nothing this morning. Called the vet and they said to call...

    Alternatives to regular collars?

    I like Beastie Band collars sold on Amazon. They are stretchy where they can easily get it over their heads of caught (and also velcro closure, no snaps). its super lightweight and I doubt my cats know they're wearing collars. Amazon.com : beastie bands cat collars

    Hairball and not eating

    thank you for the response ! I never thought about butter. Do you melt it or just give it to your cats as a pat? Unsalted butter or salted is fine? I plan on going to the store to get some pumpkin for him to eat as well.
