    New kitty has scabs and pulls her fur out

    Could it be a flea bite hypersensitivity or an allergy to a flea treatment? I mean, she doesn't have fleas now, but the shelter she came from doesn't take surrenders, so she came from the pound and being in Florida, I assume that prior to coming into the shelter she had fleas and was treated...

    New kitty has scabs and pulls her fur out

    Yeah we had our first hair ball the other day and it was a pretty big one. I've tried to give her hair ball treats also but she doesn't like them. I didn't think about the calming remedies. I will definitely look into that. She's not too fond of the wipes and we obviously put her through the...

    New kitty has scabs and pulls her fur out

    We got a new kitty last Wednesday from the shelter and when we saw her in the shelter we noticed that she was pulling her fur out. I asked the people at the shelter about it and they said it happens a lot in shelter cats because of the stress. But once we got her home, we noticed that she also...

    New Adopted Cat Following in Footsteps of Old Cat

    I wondered if it had to do with the scent. I also thought that maybe Cloud (our other kitty) had kind of established a territory that was not Halo's and so when Shadow came into the picture she was sticking to the places that she felt weren't Cloud's. It's interesting that others have...

    New Adopted Cat Following in Footsteps of Old Cat

    So as some of you know, I lost my Halo a week ago and so we decided to take the opportunity to rescue a kitty who needed our help in Halo's memory and to prevent our kitten from developing only cat syndrome so we adopted an 11 month old kitty, Shadow. Well, the funniest thing happened, Shadow...

    Halo got her halo

    Dear Halo, 2 years is a short time on this earth to make an impression on someone's life. You did just that. From the day you came into my life at just 4 weeks old, to Sunday morning where you looked into my eyes for the last time, you always made me smile. You may not have been the most...

    Small intestinal mass

    I just had to make this difficult decision yesterday so I completely sympathize with you on it.  It's almost like a moment of clarity that will wash over you.  You'll know when it's time because your cat will tell you in her own way. For me, I knew that my kitty was suffering, and when faced...

    Cat prescribed bland diet for vomiting and she won't eat it any advice?

    That's exactly why I wanted to share.  I understand that sometimes it is the normal diagnoses such as obstruction or food intolerance, but I also wanted to let other kitty parents out there know that if something in your gut tells you that it's something more serious, don't be afraid to tell...

    Cat prescribed bland diet for vomiting and she won't eat it any advice?

    I had read that fish was something to avoid.  However, my boyfriend suggested something and it seems to have worked, at least for the first try.  The wet food that Halo eats is the chunky chicken kind that has a sauce with it.  He suggested I poured some of the sauce onto the plain chicken and...

    Cat prescribed bland diet for vomiting and she won't eat it any advice?

    Thank you so much Denice for answering.  About a year ago she had an infection that was causing her to have an inflammation of her spleen.  That was treated with antibiotics and she hasn't had any issues with it since.  I don't believe that the current issue is related at all and the vet didn't...

    Cat prescribed bland diet for vomiting and she won't eat it any advice?

    I have a 2 year old cat who has had quite a few health problems over the past 2 years.  Most recently, she has been vomiting and unable to hold anything down since Friday (5 days ago).  Yesterday, she saw the vet and he gave her an anti-nausea, antacid, and antibiotic.  He gave me a diet regimen...
