UPDATE: After the bad reaction to Kesium (amoxicillin and clavulanic acid), which put her on IV fluids and 4 days of Cerenia and Arnetin shots, we gave her something called Enteroguard (metronidazole, furazolidone and oxytethraciclyn) which did NOTHING for her diarrhea, but at least it didn't...

VERY IMPORTANT: Anyone out there knows an online pharmacy that delivers Cerenia tablets in Europe, Romania? After an extensive visit to the vet, we know this much: in Ro we only have injectable Cerenia. I could really use the tablets. Sophie is fine according to the blood work and she tested...

Shophie's blood work is back. Kidney, liver, pancreas ok, protein levels below limit. That was to be expected, given the poor appetite, diarrhea and vomiting she's had this week. Any idea what is the protocol for low protein? As of yesterday evening (after we came back from the vet and the...

Just came back from the vet. Sophie vomited twice last night, once at 23.30 and once at 3 am. She also had diarrhea and seemed in a poor condition, so I took her to the vet in the morning. We have stopped the antibiotic. She was given fluids (Ringer) and anti nausea and anti acidic shots...

Thank you very much for your replies. She is on a roller coaster - she feels fine - has the antibiotic - feels bad - feels fine - has the antibiotic and so on. I will take into consideration all of this ASAP - anti nausea, anti acidic, appetite stimulant, food with the antibiotic. But her...

Thank you for your reply. The vet said that if Kesium doesn't work, he wants to try Convenia. I know the discussions about Convenia, but I don't have first hand experience with it. But he is not addressing the side effects, this is why I made an appointment for Friday. I am sure the antibiotics...

Sophie (5 years, spayed) was recently diagnosed with staphylococcus spp, which manifests like a claw infection. Because the topical ointment wasn't doing much, the vet prescribed antibiotics - Kesium (amoxicillin and calvulanic acid) 62.5 mg, twice daily for 14 days. We are in day 5. She also...

I have a cherry tree branch with cherry flowers running down my back. The flowers are bigger and redder but I love them, because a dear friend drew it for me and then I had the drawing tattoed. I do plan on tattoing Sophie, the cat on my avatar, like a watercolor painting.

The bigger, the better. She,s supposed to stand, sit and turn around. Move a little right or left to cover better.

It is recommended to have as many litterboxes as cats + 1. So if you have 4 cats, you would need 5 litterboxes. Mine use whichever litterbox they want, all of them use all of the litterboxes (but they seem to favor two of the litterboxes more).

We have three cats. When we go on vacation, either our friend stays with them in our home (during the night, as she works full time) or my bf's father comes twice a day. We also have our cleaning lady who comes twice a week. I am still overly stressed. We just leave the house as it is, no...

I use this: http://ro.iherb.com/Nature-s-Life-L-Lysine-Powder-Unflavored-200-g/36783 or this: http://ro.iherb.com/Now-Foods-L-Lysine-500-mg-250-Capsules/661#p=1&oos=1&disc=0&lc=en-US&w=now%20lysine&rc=89&sr=null&ic=1 sprinkled over their wet food. None of them seem to realize they have something...

With a good litter and keeping the litterboxes clean (scooping at least twice a day), there should be no smell. I would not use any deodorizers - for litter, for rooms, for anything. Those are chemicals, potentially harmful, highly allergenic, why take the risk.

Thank you for your replies. Amelie is our semi feral cat and the one who had no health problems before this thread thing. We were always applauding her health and I think we jinxed her (we have another two cats with a very poor immune system). Guilty doesn't even begin to describe how we feel...

I second the idea to call your vet. Maybe the anesthetic is still in her system or maybe she has a weird taste in her mouth. Maybe she is in somewhat pain. After I have my teeth cleaned I can't eat solid food for days. Whichever the case, she may need an appetite stimulant or some fluids.

I think your mind is already made up. If his behaviour would change, would you love him and feel he is yours? Because you can change his behaviour, but it takes time and effort from you and your family. He may never be a lap cat, but with constant play and scheduled feeding and a constant...

The age difference between my first cat and the other two cats is 8 months. You can not tell. You could not tell when they were three months and she was about a year old. I think the way you introduce them, patience and time can make them be friends, not matter the age difference. Here is an...

Sunday afternoon one of my cats started vomiting thread from the cat toys. We knew she had a history of eating thread, elastic bands and parts of mouse toys, but our vet always said that as long as she acts fine - eating, pooping, playing to not worry. Well, from Sunday afternoon until Monday...

As she is so young, she must have access to food all the time and eat as much as she wants. Once she reaches 1 year old (or maybe earlier, depending on her weight and appetite) you can schedule the dry food, too. As for the current schedule, I think that there is too much time between the last...

Oh what a beauty! Welcome! We would love to see more pics!
