I'm glad some others on this forum have been able to offer some help to you, some useful advice, and that you have been able to get a little outside assistance.  I've been reading this subject for some weeks but know I'm in no position to offer real help. I have some idea of what things are...

I've used both injectable and oral. When I gave injectable, it was usually every day for several days but it depended on the needs of the sick cat. For some, it was enough to give every other day, or more, and it controlled the nausea. As with any drug, the less you have to give, the better. The...

Agree with BarbB that it's time for you to take over feeding and hydrating your cat to get her through this acute phase of her illness. Intensive nursing can help her as much as veterinary care can now that you have gone through that route. Can you give her frequent very small meals, or are  you...

No, it's not roughhousing, I'm afraid. Your kitten is seriously ill, in pain and distress, and only a vet can help. It could be a raging infection and that can be treated if you get help for her right away.  

Of the scores of cats that have passed through my home, both foster and own, none had been interested in plastic (though I had one that ate lingerie straps and pieces of wool sweaters) until Nevermore came to me last year. He licks all plastic bags until they are sodden. As LDG said, the only...

I haven't any experience with this particular problem in a cat, only with one cat with an anal fistula from injury, so I can't tell you how it will progress.  Is he on any topical medication for the infected area or only oral antibiotics.  If not, you might want to use some A&D ointment where he...

You live in a dry area of the country so don't know if this would be possible, but could it be a fungal infection?  

Perhaps you need a trap and some KFC.  Good luck!  

About five years ago, Nougat went through the radio-iodine treatment and it worked very well.  I didn't even try the Tapazole on her though I'd used it on other cats who were not good candidates for the radio-iodine treatment.  Nougat had the treatment as soon as the hyperthyroidism was...

Bee has been on several rounds of Famciclovir and has never become nauseated.  

Good call!  Let us know how it goes. I know it's hard when you have so many other expenses. I was supposed to be spending some carefully hoarded savings on my home so I could have it appraised for refinance but I must have spent about 1/4 of it on my cats over the past few months.  I keep...

I know from your previous posts that you have just taken responsibility for 4 cats in total and one of them is rather jealous. Could she have attacked Icarus? Is Icarus eating?  Is he lethargic?  Has he vomitted?  Is the swelling in the lower lip only or is it in his mouth, in the glands in his...

I've used it on several fosters, as recommended by the shelter vet, and it produced good results in cats that are having some trouble moving around. In a young cat with early onset arthritis, it helped for a few months then not at all.   I've seen no side effects at all.  The shelter uses...

You could contact Best Friends: http://www.bestfriends.org/index.htm Cruise through their web site and there will be at least one link to contact people at the sanctuary who are helping communities set up and run TNR programs. They have quite a few contacts in Las Vegas, holding adoption...

Cat's don't fear quite the way we do. While we would be worried about not being able to breathe if we eat when congested because we are thinking it through, cats just try it and if they can't, they don't. It's more likely she isn't eating because she can't smell the food or because she already...

Did you tell the vet she wasn't eating or drinking?  That's very serious after 2-3 days. If you did, they should have given her subq fluids and advised you on syringe feeding her.  Not eating is normal for a cat who can't smell anything but I'm concerned about her not drinking water. Either she...

Give her steam treatment by either setting up a vaporizer in a room where you can close the door on her or running the shower in the bathroom with the door closed. This could help open up her nasal passages. Buy Little Noses from the pharmacy over the counter and put one drop in each nasal...

What are you asking this group for help with? How to find the owner of the cat? How to place it with a rescue organization?  He looks like a lilac-point siamese so he should be very adoptable, if you can't find the owner.  

The link isn't working, I'm afraid.  

 I visited the Death Row Cats a few times on Facebook but have stopped because I live on the west coast and there is absolutely nothing I can do. Looking at all those faces, some utterly pathetic and some looking bright and friendly just haunted me. Even if I lived close by, I could take a few...
