Kittens not eating dry foodI had my cats declawed (had to be done for various reasons) one week ago yesterday and they have been home for 4 days now. They are walking around fine, using the litter box (thank goodness!) and are very happy to be home (lots of purring and meowing, they're being very sucky!). They're little fuzzy paws are a bit sore, but they'll be fine, I can tell already! The only problem is that they haven't eaten much at all since they got home. They have both had bowel movements (I think just one or two each) and they are peeing - but they won't eat. I see them drinking every so often, so I'm not worried about dehydration, but I'm worried about them starving. I gave them each half a can of Fancy Feast wet food to make them eat. It's usually only given to them once a week as a treat and they eat dry food every day. They devoured the wet food, but will not eat the dry that's always there. I don't want to keep giving them wet food because this is not the usual routine and I don't want them to think that they will always get wet food from now on. Any ideas/comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! | |
Cat throwing up4 days ago, my 3yo male neutered DSH cat started throwing up right after he eats. Most of the stuff he is throwing up is undigested food. There is no fur in the vomit. There is a bit of liquid, that is the same brown color as the food. Should I get some sort of furball medicine? | |
Cat scratching and licking till she is baldMy Cat (18mo female Ragdoll cat) began scratching and licking all the hair until she was bald in many areas.She has these scaly Dark areas . I have a cattery so i have many cats ,The vet cannot find any thing on her to explain what is going on. She dug around her neck area so it was bleeding . we treated it and put a plastic guide around her neck . He gave her Steroids he said would last about 3 weeks It has only been a little over a week and she is scratching again . What can it be and what do I do ? | |
Cat scratching and shedding dandruffMy 7yo female neutered cat has been shedding like crazy. The other day when I was brushing her. I noticed her skin appeared to have a substance that looks like dandruff. I checked her thourghly for fleas. I checked her beddin etc that doesn't seem to the problem. She is very itchy from this. It appears to be attatched to her skin. I have never seen any thing like this on her | |
Cat catching human coldsI have two 7 mo old female birmans. I came down with a cold and flu virus this week and now 5 days later they seem to be sneezing a lot. My first cat of 13 years never caught a human virus, and I thought this was impossible. My vet is out of town until Monday. Your advice? There is no eye discharge, or mucous from their noses yet. They have had all their shots and were spayed 3 weeks ago. | |
Cat sleeping with eyes openGizmo (15mo male neutered DSH cat) is one of three siblings we hand-reared from age 2 weeks, as his mother abandoned them. They have had all vaccinations, eat well, very active and healthy and are horribly pampered and spoiled. Last night, I noticed that Giz was asleep with his eyes open , so I tried to awaken him. I had difficulty and had to actually pick him up and gently shake him (he was totally limp), but he awoke and was fine, playing with his brother, eating, sleeping and litter box as normal, in no distress. He did this one other time before, at approximately 5 months of age. Was he just in a very deep sleep or should I take him to be checked? If he should be checked, what should he be checked for? He is just fine today. |

Dog digging carpet
My dog (5yo female neutered Blue Heeler mix) is outside during the day and inside at night. I've only had her for 6 months- I got her from a friend. During the past month, she started scratching at our carpets ruining them. She only scratches them around the walls never in middle of the floor. Why is she doing this and what can I do to get her to stop?
