That kitten, I referred to earlier, it was a 7 hemocrit, I guess I left that out in the message. The vet was shocked it was alive, and we did rush a blood transfusion, luckily (for us, not for poor Sugar), we did keep a blood donor cat in the office. The kitten went home the same day, after I

Don't feel bad. The only reason why I pay attention to Winston's litter box is because I know he tends to have this problem. If Antonio is acting better today it doesn't sound like he has a problem urinating. I know with Winston he would stay in his litter box, sometimes I would find a drop of b

I know it's not likely, my ferals can't be touched either, but when you can't DO anything to get them back, is it better to assume the worst, and drive yourself into depression, or is it better to hope for the best, and keep a positive outlook so you can continue to help the ones you CAN help

Yeah, try the lite version of  whatever brand you are currently feeding. I only say high fiber because it makes them "feel" full, so they eat less of it. My Doobie eats non-stop sometimes, to the point I think he has an eating disorder, he will eat till he pukes, then go eat, then puke, then

Thank you, Cindy.  I am ashamed to say that I don't know if he has been urinating properly.  With so many covered liter boxes - it is difficult to tell.  (Maybe I need to reconsider the litter box arrangement).  This does make me think I'm doing the right thing by taking him to the vet.  Last nigh

Thank you, Phaewryn.  It's definitely worth a try.  The kids won't touch the canned Innova but they may find the dry more to their liking.  I just saw that Chicken Soup has a light formula dry cat food - this may be closer to what they have now.  I'll have to check the fiber content.   elizabe
