Thank you. That helps. I can see why it takes many years to understand this!

Dr Jeff, I can't make sense of the info you posted. I'm "not there" yet with being able to understand/translate what all that means. I read Hamilton's about ringworm and went from there. I also just gave it to my kittens after their first FVRCP vax. They were quiet for about an hour, then...

Our foster mama-cat (from NYCACC) had a bald spot on her chest. It was round. I contacted the shelter and asked if she'd had a blood draw from her neck because it was in about the same place. They said no. I wasn't able to get a great look, but I've seen ringworm before and she was from an...

Pistachio isn't on antibiotics. I'm hoping to get hold of him to look at his surgery incision. May take team work to do that, or I will just wait until Friday when we have our re-check with the vet who did the surgery. He's eating well and decent BEAM so I think he's ok for now. I did give him...

Yesterday, my rescue kitty, Pistachio had surgery to remove his testicles. They were in his abdomen, in an odd location (according to the surgeon). They were both very big (supposedly unusual that this happens) and the surgery took an hour. Pistachio was given buprenex last night and today and...

Here are two of our five kittens. There is a pair of orange tabby boys and a classic tabby and white (paws) girl. They can always contact me for more images or they can watch the kittens on our live web cam: <a href="https://video.nest.com/live/qawW2OGRme">Kitten Associates Kitten Cam</a> :-)

I've recently been working with my cat, Blitzen, who has had a probable relapse of pancreatitis. As someone who is pretty high strung, every time one of my cats or rescue fosters gets sick, I get sick with worry. Pancreatitis can lead to very serious issues, even become fatal, so I needed to act...

Leftmost kitten is Nathaniel Niblets and he's just being a kitten. LOL...that photo is so bad! Try to get a group photo of 5 kittens without an assistant to help pose them. Not going to happen! Today is their 4th week birthday. On to weaning and litterbox training. :-)

Update on the Family: I realized a few days into the ACV treatment, that it was not JUST ACV and it had other things in it..like cayenne powder! I got plain ACV and alternated with gentle warm bottled water because one of the kittens had some inflammation around his eyes. I also treated the...

Thank you, Dr Jeff. The ACV is probably working. No pus today but the eye still seals up quickly. I'll keep doing the compresses. I don't have Bioplasma :-(  The kittens aren't big enough for slurry. I have supplemented a few of them with goat milk. I could blend the mix you suggested. Is...

Of the 5 kittens and mama I just took into my rescue 5 days ago, 2 have diarrhea and eye issues (their mom has had diarrhea on and off as well, but I think she is recovering on a raw diet) and 1 of the 2 had a sealed eye. Originally I thought the eye was due to the young age and development of...

Wait...WHAT???!!! CH is treatable? Or am I thinking curable? What does treatment mean in this situation? Right now the kittens aren't moving around much. They're in their little "house" but I'm watching them. We got weights yesterday and all were in the normal range, so that was a good sign...

I just rescued a 1-yr old cat and her 5, 13-day old kittens. They arrived from out-of-state where they vaccinated the mom prior to her rescue. She got Rabies AND FVRCP on 7/16/18. I am shocked and angry they did this to a nursing mom. Our allopathic vet said the kittens can get CH?!! Is there...

My 6-yr old cat, Dood is on Prozac due to aggression issues. To get his 'script refilled I had to bring him to my allopathic vet for a check up and updated blood work (last was done 4/17). They found that he has a hole in a tooth and it needs to be removed, but his last Rabies booster was...

I'm hoping to find information about pregnancy induced aggression. My rescue just took on a pregnant cat named Daphne. She's due in a week. She’s been here for two weeks. She’s bitten me twice already and once sent me to the ER. She’s not vaccinated for rabies. Her behavior is unpredictable and...

I'm concerned the kittens are getting worse. The coughing episodes are increasing so I will dose them with Pulsitilla using the Qtip now. I'm wondering if the manuka honey is not being given at an appropriate strength. Currently I'm using 2 mL hot water plus 1/4 tsp of the honey mixed together...

Yes, that makes sense. Stoke that fire!

Question on dose prep and how long it lasts. This morning I prepped a 1 mL syringe with Pulsitilla per your instructions, but then wasn't sure the kittens needed it. The dose is still in the syringes. Can I leave it that way all day or does it loose potency? I know we talked about potency of...

Tuesday Update: Last night Pistachio had two coughing fits right after the other. He was right next to me, but it was dark when it happened so I didn't see him very well. The cough was very wet and somewhat bubbly. I thought I should re-dose with Pulsitilla but this morning he ate well and was...

Monday Update: Kittens are eating well! Yay! Also, as I mentioned to you via PM, Pistachio has slept on my chest twice now-a deep sleep with some mild dreaming. He also purrs a bit during this time. He has gotten a lot clingier (which I love). He seems very comfy and so does his sister. Only...
