    Kitten panting after playing

    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...

    switched to scheduled feeding and cats are refusing to eat

    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...

    15 year old cat is sick, please help

    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...

    extremely bloated kitten, vet doesn't seem concerned

    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...

    4-week old kitten won't latch on to bottle, help!

    I have a 4-week old foster that I picked up from the shelter this morning. They told me he had some trouble latching at times but said it should be okay. Well.. I got him to latch once or twice, but other than that I haven't had much luck. I've been syringe feeding him but I'm struggling to feed...

    cat is licking off all of her fur! Help!

    My cat, Daisy, has always been a bit anxious and has had issues with excessive grooming for most of her life. It was never bad enough that she lot hair though, and Feliway has helped calm her down. Then, a few months ago I noticed that her belly was completely bald! I took her to the vet and...

    Cat is pooping on the floor and being more affectionate that usual

    My cat, Lily (12 years old), has been pooping on the floor a lot lately. She has struggled with constipation for years and would sometimes poop on the floor because of that, but this seems to be different. About a month ago she had diarrhea one night. Got it all over the living room! It only...

    Cat Cries When I Pick Her Up

    I've noticed lately that when I hold my cat, Lily, she starts meowing a lot and gets really mad. She's never exactly loved being picked up/cuddled, but didn't start doing this until fairly recently. I'm really worried that she's sick or something. What might be causing this? Is it an emergency...

    Bald Spot Above Eye

    About a week ago I noticed a bald spot above my 11 year old cat's eye (I'll attach some photos below). It was very strange because she was sitting on my lap, got down to go eat, and when she came back the bald spot was there! I have no idea how it happened. The skin there looked very red when it...

    how often do you take your cats to the vet?

    We have three cats and we pretty much don't take them to the vet unless they're sick (or for spay/neuter). They're all indoor cats as well. My parents don't want to take them because they don't want to have tons of vet bills for healthy cats. The cats are 8 years, 5 years, and 2 years. The...

    cat losing hair by whiskers?

    I noticed that my cat Pumpkin has a very small patch of hair missing by his whiskers. It's like right behind his whiskers, if that makes sense. I also noticed that a few inches away on his neck he has a scab and it looks like some hair is missing there as well. He had ear mites in February so...

    constipation, loss of appetite, hairballs.. obstruction?

    About a month ago we took our cat Lily to the vet because she seemed to be having trouble going to the bathroom. They did some x-rays and found out that she was very, very constipated. They gave her an enema (which didn't help) and some prescription food. She hated the prescription food at...

    Constipated cat! Help!

    My cat Lily is constipated. We took her to the vet on Sunday because we thought she had a UTI. She does have one but she is also very constipated. They gave her an enema and she didn't go until Monday. Though only a little bit and not nearly as much as she should have gone. She went again on...

    Cat not eating or drinking after enema?

    I took my cat, Lily, to the vet yesterday because she was acting like she had a UTI. She does have a uti, but she is also very constipated. They gave her an enema and some fluids to help her pee. She still hasn't gone poop though.. She's acting fine for the most part except that she doesn't seem...
