That is fantastic news!! Thank you for sharing. She is so adorable. I wish that I could foster cats. I just know that I would not be able to give any of them away and we would end up having 50 cats in the house lol. She is so lucky to have such a caring foster mom!!

Totally agree. My cat was acting almost identical to Roscoe, not eating, hiding, acting totally different, weight loss, rough coat...ect. In my case, and I am SO hoping that it's the same for Roscoe, it was a matter of finding the right treatment. I had to get a new vet and I am so glad that I...

I am so sorry to hear that your kitty isn't feeling well! I actually posted a thread about my cat a few weeks back. Here is the link http://www.thecatsite.com/t/270999/help-possible-fip When my vet called to tell me that she suspected FIP, I was devastated. Prior to her call, I had never even...

Thank you all for responding! I am trying to get some of my picky eaters to try healthier canned food that's free of garbage. I may have to mix things up a bit and try a few different brands. My cats used to love FF, but I stopped feeding it to them because I didn't think it was the best quality...

I just read your latest post and watched the video..I am in tears. I am SO very sorry that you have to go through this. Maggie is so lucky to have you as her mom. She lived a wonderful life and that's all any pet could ever want. I will be praying for you and your little angel.

I did try the pill pockets and she sniffed it and walked away..lol. She looked up at me as if to say " come on, I am not falling for that trick mom!" I was REALLY hoping that she would take the pills because I hate the idea of forcing her to take them. I'm afraid that all of this is going to...

My kitten is being treated for a URI and I am having a really difficult time giving her the meds. My vet has her on famciclovir and azithromycin and in addition to that, I ordered L-lysine and lactoferrin to add to the regimen because I know it is effective. Anyway, I have tried everything I can...

What a beauty!! Love your screen name too...Joe Demeowgio LOL! That is too cute.

Talk about confusing, my vet said the exact opposite, he prefers the 3 year vaccine. He said that any time you poke a cat with a needle, it has the potential to cause inflammation, which can trigger an immune response, resulting in conditions like cancer and autoimmune disease. He said that...

Thank you for sharing this article! Fortunately, I found a new vet who is very conservative when it comes to vaccinating pets. Every pet parent should print this out and show it to their vet, especially if they have pets with health issues.

I know what you mean. I love my pets dearly ( I am sure everyone on here does too), and I want to feed them the very best. That said, I have had cats all of my life and I did not know as much then as I do now about potentially harmful ingredients, carcinogenic food additives, ect, so I was...

Stephan,  Thank you for responding. I am definitely going to ask my vet about it. She just had a check up and he did not say anything about it, so I will email him. All of my cats are strictly indoor. She seems very healthy, so maybe I am just worried for no reason.

I love this site and  I have been reading articles/threads like crazy so that I can figure out which canned foods are the best in quality. I am concerned about foods that contain carrageenan and I would like to avoid by products as well. Right now, I am feeding them Wellness canned food and I...

Been there too! Vidia will be in my prayers. She's in the best place,receiving 24hr care! I will pray that she makes a full recovery.

Hi, I feed her Wellness grain-free canned food. I give her about 2-3 small cans a day, but it's really hard to say exactly how much she is eating in total because she has a habit of going around to my other cats' bowls and taking some of their food as well. She plays all day, so I just assumed...

Hi all, I adopted a rescue kitten in November, she's about 6 months old now. She has a ferocious appetite!! I have never seen a little cat eat so much in my life. If I grab something from the fridge and she hears it, she immediately starts meowing and she will follow me to see if she can get...

Hi all, At least 2 of my kitties have herpes and I have been reading a lot on here about the benefits of adding lactoferrin to their diet. Which brand(s) do you like and how much should I give? I assume that I can give this to them safely in addition to the L-lysine? Thank you so much in advance!!

Hi Bluesky,                        He's been on it for a week now. I give him 1/2 of a 125mg tab daily. I started to see a big improvement after about 2 days on it. My vet said that we may adjust the dose once Iggy has been on it for 2 weeks. The vet said that the dose and the duration really...

@MyCatsMom, I am so glad that you were able to get a tech to come over to help with Maggie! My cat had something very similar to what you are describing with Maggie and I know it's very frustrating to try and treat these little guys when they are sick. My cat, Iggy, is on famciclovir (1/2 tab)...

Hi all, I just wanted to share an update. Soon after my regular vet called with a diagnosis of FIP ,  I decided to contact another vet who makes home visits. He arrived at my house last Thursday and  I gave him all of Iggy's tests and he decided to start him on azithromycin and Famciclovir (anti...
