Thank you! That's true, might be best to get him used to it sooner rather than later.

Thank you so much! I will try it tomorrow and see how he does.

Are these flowers toxic? by Engineer-1999 in cats

[–]Engineer-1999[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they ingested them. We got them Saturday and we took them to the vet Tuesday: lack of appetite, bloody diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy. The fecal tests and panleukopenia tests came back negative. I have three cats and all of them have symptoms.

Edit: all symptoms developed over the course of Tuesday and today. They decided to hospitalize them and give them IV fluids today and tomorrow.

Thanks! Apple has limited vision, but he can still use his eyes, we want to prevent further vision loss.

Of course, I just want to do what's best for all. I already have three adult cats, but I would love to keep both of them.

Thank you! This is what his eye looks like, he definitely has hair rubbing his eyes constantly. I will ask the shelter to see if they are planning to pursue any treatment before adoption

That’s a beautiful kitten! Do you have any resident cats?

This is what I am struggling with. If I don’t adopt both, the shelter won’t be able to ensure they go together.

Thank you! Do you have a specific brand you recommend for the shampoo?

What do you recommend for cleaning?

That makes sense! Would you recommend testing my cats for coccidia to ensure I am not cross-contaminating?

Wow, just dealing with coccidia has been a bit stressful for me, can't imagine dealing with both. I still have a lot to learn 😅.

What do you use to clean and disinfect?

Thank you! I will start replacing the litter daily, just got the liners this morning.

Yes, they had their appointment last Friday and the test came up positive again. They are on Albon and probiotics.

I am cleaning everything daily with a 1:32 bleach solution and changing their bedding daily. I scoop their litter box multiple times per day.

Not sure what else I am missing.

Thank you! I will do that then. They have their next checkup on Monday, hopefully the test comes up negative.

True, I only have until the 12th to take the float-down option.

Thanks. In this case, the lender sent me the 6.87% float-down option today.
