Cat Chat Feline Forum

Personally and not being a vet but over 30 years cat rescue experience I would suspect coronavirus and a partial but poor immune response in which case a vet will struggle to give any help however many tests you have I would certainly stop the ad food and go for fresh easily digested food,white fish...

My very experienced advice is don't limit his feeding over all but limit his dry food to a daily snack dry food is not the best option for cats whatever the quality,add fresh food to his diet such as fish,chicken,mince etc,and don't worry about how much he eats while he is still young let him eat as...

I think you need to add the two issues together here a 6 month old with these problems is not good on his diet he should not be constipated and it could be his constipation and its cause is leading to highly concentrated urine causing bladder problems I would be concerned about kidney function and P...

From the pic it doesn't look infected the real risk with infected spay is when it goes from inside to out your pic certainly doesn't look likre that many surface reactions/minor discharge to spay are self regulating remember there are layers of skin , muscle and fat stitched together below the outer...

If they are wounds its likely they are self inflicted by licking, what flea treatment does he have?

Oh my god what horror stories you read your pet is your friend whether its a cat,dog or whatever why would you ever hit, kick, or punish a friend who loves you treat them with kindness and understanding remember they're animals who you chose to place in your environment if you can't or won't adapt t...

I would agree FIP would be top of my list am afraid for fluid build up you describe heart or liver could also be a possibility but not usually with the accompanied fever you mention

Resources can be very stretched for rescues maybe if you could offer assistance with the cost of care of the cats while they were in rescue payable from your uncles estate it may help be careful only to make such an offer to no kill genuine rescues such as cat protection though

Why do you say your cats are cat flu carriers? As a viral illness the virus stays in the body of any cat who has cat flu but is kept at bay by the immune system so they are no more carriers than any cat who has ever had cat flu and catteries take cats from owners who for one reason or another have l...

It usually best to keep males overnight after neutering then feed and release if the vet will do overnight accommodation all the better if not beware of trying to transfer him between carriers and crates etc he will be very strong and untouchable and very stressed as for mom a feral cat can feed her...

Just an after thought to my previous post try asking local vets for contacts of local rescues including local RSPCA and cotactimg them yourself explaining the situation you may have some luck that way

The RSPCA have no right of entry and can not remove animals without the police and a vet who have to judge the animals to be at risk due to poor care and/or living conditions the best course of action is to befriend such people maybe take some cat food say your cats gone off it gain the persons trus...

I would say just give them more time its a massive change for both of them what I would do though is give your newbie safe time where you separate the two for a few hours a day preferably when your home so she can bond with you and her new environment without harassment then hopefully gain more conf...

Firstly I would say give the RSPCA a break as a rescuer of over 30 years no not RSPCA its very very hard the vet they use will probably check an animal over and give an opinion on essential medical treatment needed and ideal world treatment needed that opinion may differ to that of your own vet the ...

Manny many years ago I had what sounds similar with one of my cats scratching ears and head and going bald around his eyes and ears which if I remember correctly was diagnosed as a hormonal problem he was prescribed ovarid a hormone drug no longer available I believe a very small dose but it did the...
