A few days ago my 7 month old kitten was playing and he suddenly started panting heavily. His eyes were watering and he laid down on his side for a few minutes while he continued to pant. I gave him some water and he was back to normal within a few minutes, so I figured it was just a fluke. But...

Yeah I wasn't sure about restricting the kittens, but the vet said it was okay so I just went with it. I don't know how to give them constant access to food without the other cats getting to it though. I considered getting a baby gate to block off the part of the house where the kittens usually...

I have five cats. Two kittens and three seniors. One of the seniors is overweight and the vet recommended doing scheduled feedings to help her lose weight. I just did it cold turkey; took their food away yesterday afternoon after they ate and didn't feed them again until the scheduled time. They...

Just a little update: Lily is feeling much better! The vet thinks she just had a stomach bug or something. She's eating/drinking again and acting more like herself. She was even running around and playing last night! I'm SO relieved that she's feeling better :redheartpump:

I've been calling around to practically every vet clinic in town but most of them are completely booked. But thankfully I found an emergency clinic that takes walk-ins.. it's an hour away but it's worth it. Hopefully they can figure out what's going on.

She's been sleeping in her favorite spot (It's one of those fabric ikea bins, she uses it as a bed haha) since last night. She seems like she just wants to be alone and tries to move away when I pet her :( Whenever she walks, she seems... sort of confused? Like she'll just stand in the same...

She's an indoor cat, never goes outside. I'm fostering 2 kittens right now and recently introduced them to Lily (they were quarantined for 2 weeks before I introduced them). But they haven't spent much time together. The kittens are in separate room with the door closed most of the time, and...

My cat, Lily, is 15 and thankfully hasn't had many health problems. She has an enlarged heart but we've been monitoring it over the years and it hasn't gotten worse, so the vet doesn't seem very concerned about it. Anyway, last night she had diarrhea a few times and today she threw up. I don't...

Yes

Sorry, more questions about my foster kitten! He's now 6 weeks old and still very small. He's a bit behind developmentally; he won't use the litter box (poops and pees on the floor instead), doesn't know how to groom himself, and is not very active. He just sleeps a lot and never runs around or...

The vet gave him an enema, so he's feeling a lot better and the bloating has gone down a lot! The vet said the constipation was most likely because the kitten was still drinking formula (I was having a lot of trouble getting him to eat wet food, he just wasn't interested). He finally started...

He's still pretty bloated and constipated, unfortunately. He pooped this morning but it was hard as a rock and seemed very painful for him. I feel so bad :( I'm syringe feeding water to help hydrate him, as well as offering wet food, but he hasn't quite figured out how to eat it yet. The good...

Is the Little Remedies brand safe to give him?

His urine is bright yellow. When I pinch the skin on his neck is takes a second to go back to normal, so it seems that he's a bit dehydrated. I'm in the process of weaning him, but so far he just seems confused and won't eat the wet food or drink water. I've started giving him water with a...

I'm not sure if I can afford it at the moment. The animal shelter is supposed to cover all medical costs for fosters and they don't want me to take the kittens to vets that aren't from the shelter. I've been on the phone all morning trying to figure out if he has been de-wormed or if they did a...

I haven't had much luck with the syringe with no nipple, but I finally got him to latch!! I honestly don't know why or how it happened, but he's been latching regularly. It's still a struggle to get him to eat a full meal though. I'm offering wet food or baby food regularly, though he just seems...

My 4-week old foster kitten is very bloated. When I picked him up from the shelter, they told me he had been bloated for about a week and was being given simethicone 2x/day. He was supposed to take the simethicone until august 20th, but the prescription bottle they gave me only had enough for...

His weight remained stable for a day or so (not losing, not gaining), but today he's lost a bit of weight. I called the animal shelter for advice and they haven't called me back yet so I'm getting kind of nervous.

Yes I'm using the formula provided by the shelter. He definitely responds better to the miracle nipple, but still won't latch. At this point all he does it try to chew on the nipples, so I'm wondering if I should start weaning? I noticed today that his premolars have started emerging as well.

Every 3-4 hours. I tried doing smaller amounts more often but he didn't seem interested in the food at all, whereas he usually seems interested but just can't or won't latch.
