Miss Caroline has gotten a TINY bit better.  I fixed her up a nest in the
linen closet, with the door cracked open.  Sometimes she will go and get in
it, and then the growling is not as severe.  Sometimes she chooses to still
be in the sink, though, and then we get the growling, the bared teeth, tail
swishing, and hissing.

She also has not eaten anything:(.  She has urinated a tiny bit in the
litter box, so I guess she is drinking at least a small amount.

And Missy and I take umbrage at your statement.  It is quite clear to us
that blue tabbies rule the world!:)

let me tell you about lacey susan, whom i affectionately refer to as my
psychotic, all-4-paw-declawed psychotic calico she was rescued at 4
weeks,  and lived with one woman til she was 5 years old. she was
front-declawed as a baby, and rear-declawed at around 3, because the new
husband was worried about his hardwood floors. (the cat weighed about 8# at
her heaviest.)  the husband died, and the baby was born--and it was one of
those babies who truly was allergic to everything, including milk. so lacey
went to live with her grandma, where she spent all her time hiding under the
computer desk.

she came into the shelter where i volunteered, and i was told that she was
most probably going to have to be euthed because she was nuts she'd do
the headbonk, nudge, pet-me, pet-me, love-me, hiss, growl, bite,
i'm-going-to-rip-off-your-face, headbonk, pet-me, pet-me routine she
also looked almost identical to my FirstCalico, who'd gone to the bridge two
years previously--and as you know, it's not usual to find two calicos with
markings that similar. so, of course, i had to give her a chance. i am NOT
reliably a communicator, but some cats DO talk quite clearly to me, and she
has always been one. i realized she was terrifed, and acting out of fear and
abandonment. i figured, hey, she has no claws, and as long as i stay away
from the teeth, what's she gonna do to me, anyway? started out talking to
her in her cage, and i promised her that no one would ever hurt her left
her a shirt of mine to sleep with, to have my scent. over the following
days, i was able to pick her up--the only person who could--and take her
into the huge staff bathroom we had. i'd take a book, some toys, and just
sit on the floor and leave her be. she'd sniff under the door, come over and
nudge me, play with the toys, headbonk, and demand petting in between her
i'm going to kill you, human episodes. i'd spend an hour or two with her
each day. she'd go ballistic when i went to put her back in the cage, but
other than that, she was definitely calming down--for me, at least.

there was a volunteer there who was big and fast, with very little
awareness of cat signals, and not too surprisingly, she bit him one day, so
she went into isolation for ten days--but i continued to work with her, and
she continued to respond. she was still nuts, mind you, but less so.

the shelter board asked me to write up an evaluation on her so they could
decide whether she should be put up for adoption, and one of the members
decided that she could tame her, and took her home for two weeks. when she
came back, she was worse than when she'd first come into the shelter, poor
dear. the board had decided that she could only go to an only cat home, so i
would not be able to adopt her. i was broken hearted, and pretty much stayed
away from her, because i didn't want to get close to her again.

two weeks later, they told me i could take her if i wanted to, because i
was the only person she'd ever responded to, and otherwise they'd have to
euthanize her. i was ecstatic. i was concerned about how she'd do with the
fully-clawed cats in the house--ha! i swear this cat files her teeth down in
her spare time, they were in far more danger from her than she ever was from
them! it was awful--she was attacking them constantly, as she'd managed to
figure out how to reliably get out of the isolation space. she was attacking

Here are all the tabby colors:

A brown tabby has black stripes on a brownish or grayish ground color.
The black stripes may be coal black, or a little bit brownish.

A blue tabby has gray stripes on a grayish or buff ground color. The gray
stripes may be a dark slate gray, or a lighter blue-gray.

A red tabby has orange stripes on a cream ground color. The orange
stripes may be dark reddish orange, or light marmalade orange.

A cream tabby has cream stripes on a pale cream ground color. These
stripes look sand-colored or peach-colored rather than orange.

A silver tabby has black stripes on a white ground color. The roots of
the hairs are white.

You can also have a blue silver, cream silver, or red silver tabby
(red silver is also known as cameo tabby) depending on the color
of the stripes. In all cases, silver tabbies have a pale ground color
and white roots. To make sure, part the hairs and look at the roots.

Hi Kelley,
You can try an off brand of Feliway.  Petsmart sells one called At 
Ease by NaturVet.  I've used both and they seem pretty comparable. 

Your sweet Missy may rule the world, but I'm betting she does it with 
her charm and beauty.  I didn't even tell Ursula, (my Calico girl, who 
rules with an iron claw), what you said about Tabbies.  She's the reason 
I had to find a cheaper source for the Feliway spay and I didn't want to 
have to break it out again.

I'm wondering if Shimmer brought the URI back from the vet. You can try
the children's nose drops called Little Noses. Do you have any
antibiotics in the house? Here's a quick paste of some of our
discussions on URIs:

*Treatment for URI
and immune booster*

What my vet told me is that the Albuterol works to make them feel
better - it breaks up the chest/nasal congestion they have when they
have a URI. This is good because when they feel better and can smell
their food they start eating. I had a kitten with severe URI that I
thought was going to lose. He didn't start eating until after I took
him to my current vet and they started nebulizing him. Within 24
hours after that he was eating (I had been syringing him with A/D).
My cats have still had to have antibiotics when they have URI, though.

Here is a link to more information about Albuterol.

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a682145.html

I keep a nebulizer (bought on Ebay for $25 - MUCH more expensive if
bought at a drug store - about $100+) and a stock of Albuterol for
sick kittens. My vet sold me a bag of the Albuterol capsules for
about $10.

*Vitatabs by Naturepet*:

I have thought of posting this several times but I really feel almost
embarrassed to do so because it seems way too simplistic. When several
of my negatives came down at once (again) with URIs (On Christmas Eve no
less) and in desperation I visited our pathetic pet store that sells
practically nothing useful, I found some Vitatabs by Naturepet. I
bought the things not thinking for one moment they would be helpful. I
fed them to the cats and all 3 animals recovered by morning. THAT has
never happened before. Well, I thought it a tad too good to be true and
a few weeks later another cat came down with a mild URI and once again I
tried the vitamins and by morning, he was fine. I feed quality pet
foods with some fresh food thrown in so there shouldn't be any
nutritional inadequacies but nonetheless, I have had success with these
vitamins and URIs. In fact, I haven't had any problems with the cats
since. I now give the vitamins several times a week. So for what it is
worth here is the product:

I was in the exact same situation, except I only had one foster kitten who
tested faint +.  I was FREAKING OUT.  The kitten later tested negative, as
did all her littermates.  I really wish they didn't have a faint +.  I found
it very confusing.  The best info I could find said a faint + meant the cat
had been exposed to the virus, but it wasn't very active in its blood.
Which told me then and still tells me not much.  At any rate, not only are
there lots of positives (and I'd imagine even more lots of faint positives)
that are test errors, bad chemicals, who knows what, but there are lots of
cats who are exposed and never develop the disease (though I guess they
could test positive in that window of time while they were throwing it
off.)  It is a very confusing and frustrating disease to say the least.
There are some here who don't believe in testing at all.  There are also
some on this list who believe that any cat who has been exposed to other
cats - certainly in a shelter situation - has been exposed to FELV.  So I
was thinking, OMG my cats might have been exposed - when they almost
certainly had already been at some point.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, CAT PEOPLE!!!
Thank you everyone for the responses to my food allergy question.  I forgot 
you're all on vacation, I put my question out there and then left to get ready 
to visit friends for New Years Eve, y'all answered back right away and I wasn't 
home to read it...
I'm pretty sure my vet said he didn't have a good way of testing for food 
allergies. :-(   I'll question him on this again tomorrow, a simple blood test 
would be wonderful.  I suspected a seafood allergy, (their wet food was 
Friskie's seafood flavors, not good but I was sick of throwing out untouched 
plates of EVO). The first food we tried when he started scratching was Wysong's 
Anergen lamb and rice, which is supposed to be hypoallergenic.  It contains 
even more unusual ingredients than Wellness, including sage, rosemary, garlic, 
black pepper, and artichoke, plus they won't eat it.  Innova Evo includes fish 
meal or herring as an ingredient.  It is very difficult to find any food that 
doesn't.  The best we could come up with over the counter was to find one 
without whole fish, but just fish oil as an ingredient further down the list.  
Thus the Wellness.  I like the ingredients in the California Natural that 
Phaewryn suggests, nice short simple list without fish ingredients, but it says 
ADULT CAT FOOD in big letters across the front so I've always put it back.  
Four of my five are only 9 months old, I was committed to feeding a higher 
calorie kitten food until they are one year old, but maybe I'll have to bump up 
that time-line in light of Scooter's problem.  I guess we'll try the Hill's 
prescription diet next, and then go from there, homeopathic if the diet doesn't 
work...
Just as an aside, he is tolerating the collar really well.  Our big girl bully 
Blue is afraid of it, he has realized this and is trying to establish dominance 
over Ms. Nasty.  She kept going after Will and Dash the other night, Gary 
jumped out of bed twice to break up fights, finally she pinned one of them in 
the laundry room 'til they cried.  Gary decided three times out of bed was 
enough, tried to catch her to lock her up in the spare bedroom for the night, 
she started running all over the front room with Gary right behind, and then 
Scooter decided to join in the chase.  That collar is his Superman cape, gives 
him all the confidence he needs when dealing with Blue... :o)

Thank you all again for the good advice, I'll let you know how it goes,
Beth

I just got over a terrible cold myself, so I understand how your kitties
feel! It can be brought in that same way as a human cold (they are both
viruses), so it's possible you brought it in the house on you, if you
visited a shelter, or touched any outside cats, it could have come in on
your hands or clothes. Or it could have come from the new cat, I recall you
saying that your cats have gone in the bathroom with her and you shooed
them out. URI can be airborne, and the symptoms can vary from cat to cat, so
she may not have looked sick, but still have it (and that would explain her
lack of appetite too).

kittens have diarrhea

2007-01-01 Thread lynette


The three kittens I am fostering, whose mom tested a faint positive
12/24, have ongoing diarrhea.

They have received Albon and Metronidazole but the diarrhea (liquid)
continues. 

They are eating Purina One kitten chow, plus quite a mix of what is
available around the house (Science Diet adult, Innova Adult, and
Purina DM). This is not optimal for controlling intestinal issues, but
again, I don't want to lock them up.

Other than the diarrhea they are a normal and lively lot. Of course
since they have possible exposure to FeLV I am fretting that the
diarrhea is indicative of something sinister.

How should I proceed? Back to the vet, or hope it works itself out?
What is the likelihood FeLV is the base culprit?

thanks,
