Hello everyone. I’m afraid I have some bad news. There’s a 90% chance that it’s FIP. He’s had severe pancreatitis and one bout of peritonitis with fluid buildup in the abdomen. The peritonitis and fluid build up responded to steroids but his pancreatitis never showed any sign of improvement. His TP ...

I’d highly recommend getting a bloodwork test (along with an x-ray and ultrasonography) asap if you have the means. My kitty was quite the same and they found that he had pancreatitis. Lethargy/hiding, loss of appetite and vomiting are really common symptoms so unfortunately it’s impossible to tell ...

Hello everyone! Thought I’d give another update for those who might be going through a similar ordeal. I’ve been trying to find a better alternative to whiskas wet food to fit his needs (history of UTI and current pancreatitis which developed into peritonitis) and I think I’ve finally hit jackpot! N...

Thank you guys for the sound advice. Jotted down what I remember of the last month already, the last couple of days being the most detailed.

He won’t take pills no matter what so I get the pills crushed at the vet, mix them with some water, suck it up in an injector and inject it into his mouth. Works wonders. If recommended, you can even get the meds from ...

Hi! Did Bo have any accidents before Chio came along? Also the hallway marking by Chio even after being neutered seems significant. It sounds like a territorial problem rather than a potty training problem. It tends to take up to a year for two stranger cats to get used to each other in the same hou...

Hello, hope Molly’s condition improves.
Has her vet put her on any anti-nausea meds?

Hello, everybody. Wish all you and your feline friends are happy and healthy. My 4yo male kitty has been in an out of the vet since December last year. He had a nasty bout of UTI which flared up again in January and just when I thought he was doing alright after getting his antibiotics he started ac...
