I’ve had my cat for a little over 2 years now. She was tested positive for Feline Leukemia as a kitten. She’s been doing really great until recently. I took her to the vet for her rabies vaccination a little less than a week ago, and now she won’t even touch her food. She just hides under the bed all day, and drinks water.

I normally feed her all dry food, but I tried to switch to wet food because she wasnt eating. She seems to like the wet food, but will only drink the liquid. If she gets any solid, she’ll immediatly spit it out.

I’ve got a vet appointment scheduled, but I was wondering if there was anything else I could do in order to get my best friend to eat again.
I do not have any other cats in my home.

My poor 6 month old kitten "Tangerine" has feline herpes. I have been giving him Lysine twice a day orally and Zithromax once a day orally and Terramycin twice a day for his eye. I have been giving him these for about 5 - 6 days now and I am not seeing much improvement. What is the average time period on when the symptons dissapear?

All answers are welcome and are appreciated.

Thanks!

My kitten just got back from 4 days at the hospital after a terrible ordeal. He is still eating very little and looks very weak. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any inputs would be great.

My kitten has a mild case of ringworm that’s being treated at the moment. I don’t have it, but I was wondering if it’s possible for it to be contagious to other cats that I come in contact with since my kitten has it. I always wash my hands after I touch my kitty.

Thanks!
What if I DONT touch the other kitty or person? Can they still get it?

I recently adopted a 2 month old kitten, Juliet from the local humane society. I was supposed to pick her up 24hours after the adoption was finalized, but then they called and said that she was sick with the kennel cough. How long will it take for her to get over her cough? Will it still be contagious to my two dogs(5), my cat(17) and my rabbit(2) at home?

I had my now 4 month old kitten to the vet for his booster shots, and asked the vet to check his eyes because one was smaller than the other and I wanted to be sure of what was wrong.

The vet said that one of his pupils are fixed, and that he could go blind in that eye and as it is he has poor vision in it. I have to decide if I can afford to pay for the eye specialist when he is in, but I’ll start saving money since that’s not til September.

The vet said that I could be a sign of feline leukemia, and that I could test him when he gets fixed. But from what I’ve read there’s no cure, and treatment is expensive and doesn’t work all the time.

I have no other cats and no plans to have anymore cats, he’s an indoor only cat (he HATES the outside, scared of cars), and perfectly healthy otherwise. Would it be better to just not know?

I have 2 very active 2year old cats that are putting on weight, our male is already overweight (though not to an extreme point), and our female is well on her way to becoming overweight. They are both fixed. I need a diet plan that is thorough in nutrition as well as keeping the cat full. I need complete nutrition because I also have an 11 month old kitten who is not overweight and is still growing.

Please help, I really want to keep my cats healthy! They are to young to have health problems. And are fed suggested portions 1 time daily, and that feeds them for the full day. Also the older female was born with a heart murmur and while the vet said its gone, I don’t want the weight of stress to cause further problems.

Suggestions on food types, feeding tips, and "rationing" would be greatly appreciated. Experiences will help too!

Thanks a bunch!

Recently I got a kitten from the local shelter. He seemed really healthy and happy and then 3 days later I had to have him euthanized because he came down with a really bad strain of feline distemper. The shelter said he was up to date on his shots, but maybe he was exposed to it before he had a chance to build up his immunity. Anyway, the point is, I may want to get another cat in the future - who will be up to date on all his shots for sure before he’s introduced into the environment - but I don’t want to put any possible new pets into harm’s way. Obviously no unvaccinated cats will be brought in as that would be pretty much a death sentence. Any ideas on how to clean the carpeting though? The apartment carpeting is light brown and apparently bleach or really high temperatures are the only thing that will kill this horrible bug, but I’m not sure if regular steam cleaning would be enough. Has anyone had this problem before? Thank you.

I ended up finding a kitten and taking him home. No one claimed him so I decided to find a home for him. I want to get him fixed before adopting him out. Since I found him, I’m fairly sure he hasn’t had any vaccinations. Would I be able to get vaccinations right before getting him fixed? Thanks for any help!

My kitten is about 12 weeks old and has been normal up until a few days ago. He’s started not wanting to nurse and has become very lazy (for lack of better word). He has also been urinating frequently but not as normal felines do. He jsut sits there and lets it get everywhere. I’ve been havign to feed him formula form a bottle which he does not want to eat. It’s starting to worry me a lot. I set up an appointment with his vet but it’s not unitl next wed. and I’m worried soemthing might seriosuly be wrong. I can call the Humane SOciety and say it’s an emergency and they’ll come and take him and nurse him back to health but I love my kitten. I’m just wondering if anybody has had a cat go throguh the same htin gbecause I have no clue what it is. If worse comes to worse I will contact the Humane Socitey to come get him but if I can wait until Wed. I will. If you have any idea what it might be or need more info, please ocntact me.
He will not eat soft food and I’m not just going to "put it in a bowl on the floor" and hope he eats it. I care about my animal and somethings wrong with him.

I took my kitten to the vet this morning. He received his distemper shot and frontline flea treatment. Everything seemed fine for 2 hours, then he started to sleep. He is still sleeping even as I type. He looks really tired and refused to eat his food. He is usually a very active kitten and always hungry for food. Maybe I am just paranoid, but it was really really cold out today so I am worried he might have got sick. Or is this the usual side effect of vaccination? If so how long will it last?
