Have you tried baby food (make sue it does not have onion or garlic in it), push come to shove, you could use an eye dropper or yringe to get it past the painful teeth. At least she would be getting food. Once I got some chicken livers at the grocery store, boiled them and then pureed them.

Hi Ashley I'd be a lot more concerned about the Stomatitis than the Asthma ( unless it is compromising his ability to Sleep and Play)  My little 9mo old had a couple of "retching" fits a day that are consistent with Feline Asthma but he hasn't yet been Xrayed ( which is really the only

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!! It really means a lot especially coming from people that get it. I will look into the things you mentioned. Congrats on your new kitty and so sorry for your loss of your other baby. I adopted Twigs shortly after the sudden tragic death of my

Hi Ashley, I can only comment on the stomatitis. Haven't dealt with asthma. I've had numerous leuk positives and have never had to deal with major mouth issues. I've had some with red gums that need a dose of antibiotics and or pred but they always respond well. I volunteer for a rescue,

Last night Josie decided she felt at home enough to be a wild thing. Tearing through our bedroom, up and down running across the bed when we were trying to sleep. Then today at work she was super sleepy snoozing on the back of my office chair (me sitting on the very edge). Every time I would

Hi Ashley, I am so sorry to hear your baby Twigs is having problems. We all know how devastating it is to have a sick baby. I don't know anything about stomatitis so I did some reading on it. Sounds like it can be a very painful and life threatening illness if it gets bad. From what you said

Hi there! I've been lurking for sometime, ever since my cat Twigs was diagnosed about a year ago. I figure it's time I post something and put myself out there and hopefully some of you may have experience or suggestions with some of things I'm facing. Twigs is 2 years old, got him from a

Thee are some of the same worries a mother has about her child. You should be concerned and take steps to control what you can, BUT do not let it control your life. Things happen and when they do, you deal with them, just do not panic. NO< you are not the only one but you can't let the worry

I believe you should wait till they are 5 months old to test them - If the mother is positive then the kittens will have the antibodies from the mother to protect them hopefully …. and if tested too soon they will also test positive. Maybe as soon as it seems fair and they can eat on their
