I've been getting lysine into my cat who has had a long term eye herpes flair-up (conjunctivitis) but the supplement just isn't getting it under control.  She is on a raw diet and has the most luxurious coat of any cat I know.  It seems that for eye infections, drops would be the best way to get...

My friends adopted a mom/baby pair.  The mom is going blind, apparently, and the baby is now weaning.  Last night the baby got outside and there were raccoons outside making a ruckus...They got the baby back in and she was fine except she was covered in poo (maybe raccoon poo?).  The mom then...

I have two brothers who I found at 10 days old, abandoned/orphaned.  We bottle fed them until 4 weeks when they seemed to wean themselves.  They would chew on the nipple rather than suck, so I transitioned them to raw.  All has been well until the last couple of days (they are now 10 weeks...

Thanks, P3 I don't interfere with them rough-housing with each other - just wondered what the correct response is for them going too wild-kitty on us!  I'm glad it isn't as difficult as with dogs!  DH and I were just discussing how we need to get appropriate scratching stuff before I read your...

I have been reading on the web trying to age these kittens I found and I see such disparity about when what happens!  When I found these two abandoned kittens, one's eyes were open and the second's eyes were half opened.  That was nine days ago.  They're little toes have developed to where they...

Thank you, catwoman707!  I feel reassured that all is going well.  

Thanks, everyone!  Great links! Betsy

I have been taking care of two feral kittens for the last five days, found them at about 10 days old.  One's eyes were open and the other's were half-way open.  I have questions about pooping.  Initially, the first poo one of the kittens did was like a rock, and I wonder if he wasn't a little...
