the youngest foster here, about 5 weeks old, seems to be way behind development wise, and just doesn't act right. it's hard to pin down. instead of playing, he sits and looks at things he nurses on everything compulsively he squeals a lot he knows how to eat dry food, and nurses on moist food, but o...

mom took him to the vet today. he STILL has coccidea showing up on his fecal smear!! AAAAAAAAAAAA his poop looks fine. but coudl explain why he doesn't feel well. Vet said to worm him again. Mom gave him some Pet Tinic this am, hard to say if it helped or not. Vet said his legs are fine, maybe he wa...

she sounds pretty stupid and uncaring muscle spasms don't effect the whole animal like that! and they don't make them groggy. when teh vet gets back, insist on talking to him/her and also complain about the stupid vet tech. mom doesn't know much about seizures in domestic cats. AT the preserve there...

Yesterday when mom got back from the shelter he was cold and dehydrated again. Mom gave him his max cc's SQ and put him back on his heating pad. He keeps moving off. He was kind of aimlessly peeing an dpooping around the room :( Mom cleaned up, got him some nice stinky seafood Fancy Feast (his favor...

well, I often have trouble getting to sleep... but last night was awful after an hour and a half, and trying the warm milk thing and the stretching thing I just took an ativan. think that was around 2am woke up at 7, I NEVER wake up on the weekends before 9... tried to go back to sleep, no go. sighs...

I opend the door and heard a grovelly mrrrrow He was looking up at me from his heating pad with bright eyes. I gave him 150cc SQ and let him rest for 20 minutes to absorb it. Figured I'd try and convince him to eat some AD food. Brought in the syringe in case I'd need to force feed him. He saw the c...

Sam is the 19 yr old foster mom took in from the shelter she volunteers at. He is a big orange tabby, very sweet tho he doesn't care for kittens. He and his 15 yr old friend, Fluffy, live in a room all their own. Last night Sam couldn't walk, and when mom carried him over to the food dish he was not...

his temp was 97.5 CBC mostly normal, they said it was probably cancer gave him a shot of steriods, B complex, and Penicillin mom will be giving him SQ fluids 300 - 360/ml/day in two doses and coazxing him into eating this weekend. If he perks up by late Sunday and is able to be a cat again, great. I...

Mom spent the evening with him in her lap as she watched a movie. She was just going to sit with him but he looked up at her and meowed and tried to get up. So she picked him up and he relaxed. He was breathing shallow by the end of the movie, dehydrated again. Mom gave him another 120cc of SQ fluid...

it isn't showing us the tabs at the top, which allow you to post other mesages and go to other boards. It also isn't showing any posts later than 8:30 this am, can't find our post about Sam. we can reply to posts, and we can see other boards. So we posted on the Cat Health window, and sent a query t...

it may be hard to tell with mom cleaning up, but it is important to know. Some hind end deformities affect not only the legs but also the ability to eliminate. sometimes the kittens are born without an anus, or with one that does not open all the way. can you move the hind legs are all? or are they ...

can never tell when I'll be at the keyboard these days.

She used to take cute little me out for walks but taking care of Legume & the foster kittens has taken up my walk tim...

Bendy kitten

So she is, for the moment,safe from these posts. we do hope these kitties find good homes. I am thinking of making a page on web site of tips for l...
