Hi, I joined this group for my partially paralyzed cat, Boo, but I have a problem with his sister, Delilah. This morning Delilah had a seizure that lasted...
Hey linda! It's possible Boo was poisoned. Accidentally I'm sure but, my oldest cat "Rommel" ate some mouse bait one time. He had really bad convulsions...
You are so lucky it was just seizures and not a horrible death. Mouse bait is so dangerous! Becky ... Visit My Homepage Visit Handipets Haven ... From:...
My cat Tod has idiopathic epilepsy. What happened to Delilah definitely sounds like a seizure, though it would be atypical of what Tod experiences (he has a...
I noticed some files about the group having had a spammer. Is this the right group, or do I need to join the other one mentioned? Thanks! Kathy Kitty Foster...
Hey everybody! I really wish you to join this great forum about animals that my friend created, please! On it, you can talk about anything about animals and...
Hi everyone, I joined this group last week when we adopted/rescued our 3-legged Wonder. He was about 5 weeks old, and had his back left leg "fall off" when the...
Christine: First congratulations on your new baby and thank you for rescuing him and making him a part of your family. We have had several missing rear legged...
Thanks for responding so fast. We have to make a decision over the next week and you've made us feel much better about making the choice to remove the leg....
Hi Christine, I'm glad you adopted him and you're taking good care of him. All kitties deserve a chance at happiness. I don't have answers to your questions,...
Almost all of ours are disabled or special needs - normal in our house is the minority and even some of them are questionable - LOL. Yes, I think most all of...
I just joined the group too because I am a kitty foster mom, and just got a 3 month old kitten that broke his leg off, and it had to be amputated. It was...
Kathy, When I read your message and heard his name, I laughed out loud here in the office and my co-workers are wondering if I've gone nuts! Timmy Tripod is ...
Mari, How anyone could treat a living thing that way is beyond me! It makes me so angry to hear things like that. Thank goodness there are people like you ...
Actually in our rescue group we have them fixed at 2 lbs....I feel bad everytime....but people want "little" kittens! The males don't bother me as much, as...
Anybody have any experience with cats that have herpes in their eyes? My neighbor's cat just had a bad episode. She was told that a cat could lose their eyes...
Yes Christine, you can definitely get him fixed as early as 2 months but my friend who is a recent graduate of veterinary school said that they were taught...
Brokie was neutered at the same time he had his leg amputated as vet said it would keep him from having to have to sedations fairly close together. As male...
Kathy - yes I have two. Give them 500-1000 mg of lysine daily. Then you need an antibiotic eye ointment. You can buy Terramycin online. You will need a ...
I think we'll have Wonder neutered at the same time so, as you said, he would not have to undergo two sedations close together. I guess we'll just have to ...
This is the group where we were having trouble with trolls but its been calm for quite some time. There is a partner group though which is moderated by myself...
I have to agree with the vet, its probably best to have the stump removed. I had a cat I took in quite some time ago that had a rear stump, I used a glove...
My 3 legged was already named, he just lost his leg in January, but we nickname him hopalong or one arm wonder. We also tell people he is an expert in tripod...
The cat can lose her eyes. I had a litter of herpes kittens and all died except for one, my harlequin. One of the kittens eyes swelled so badly it popped out...
I to have a beautiful 3 leg wonder.Her name is Cadie (short for Cadbury bunny,an easter present for my 4yr old son). She was hit by a car last fall anlost her...
Thanks Lorraine! I don't think my neighbor gives them Lysine, but does use the eye ointment. (She's the one with these cats). Is there any theory on herpes...
Everything seems to be going well with this one. I feel welcome and have gotten some really good info already. Thanks Becky! Kathy Billy Goats Gruff...
That's what I was afraid of. I was unfamiliar with this disease, until now. This is very contagious isn't it? I love your kitty's name...Harlequin! Mind if...
