Hello @Dr. Jean Hofve, @Dr. jeff and @Dr. Christina, We have a five-month-old kitten and she's been on raw but mostly on rabbit/pork and sometimes chicken...(she turned away from beef, venison, turkey, and bison) and we buy these as meat blends with 80% meat 10% organs and 10% bones. We have...

Hi @Dr. Christina, @Dr. jeff and @Dr. Jean Hofve - I want to give a quick update on the fleas situation. So we have caught probably more than 80 fleas thus far - we vacuum almost daily and flea comb our kitten throughout the day (I work from home). We have set up flea traps in every room of the...

Thank you, Dr. Jean!

oh my! I can't imagine... Thank you for the reminder, Dr. Christina - I read it many years ago when I first joined HA! I think we (humans) are the culprits - we feed raccoons, possums, feral cats, and squirrels in the yard and they visit regularly...the foods also attract rats in the yard. I...

Hello @Dr. Jeff, @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jean Hofve, I caught a total 25 (!!!!) fleas on my INDOOR cat today...she is in no contact with any other animals...what do you think could be the cause of this infestation? When we got her in late April (she was about 4 weeks old), we gave her a bath...

@Dr. Jeff, @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jean Hofve - We rescued a four-week-old kitten about three months ago and we're considering adopting an 8-month-old cat mama from her rescuer. My question is, should I be concerned about parasites (or other transmittable?) when we bring the mama home? My...

Hi @Dr. Christina @Dr. Jean Hofve and @Dr. Jeff, My two-month-old kitten gets wet and raw food with structured water and raw goat milk/bone broth but I was advised by friends to have fresh water readily available for her via a water fountain. Do you agree? I do put water out in a glass dish and...

Thanks @GinnyW for sharing! I may give this a try for my kitten. :cat2:

I'm thankful to report that all is well ... Dr. Gordon said Pipi acts and looks very healthy. Even though she feels very skinny to me, he said it's normal 🤔 . He also checked the usual - listened to her heart and lung, checked her gum and teeth...etc. :) She got subQ fluid at the clinic today...

I like canned cat food by ZiwiPeak - when we first our kitten, we offered her that then switched to commercial raw food like SmallBatch, Savage Cat and Quest.

She just asked for food but ate a little bit (1/2 plate of what was offered) but this is a good sign. She's so skinny (skin and bone) :( We will get her some plain rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods (it was Hope's favorite). As for Dr. Gordon, we'll bring her in nevertheless for fluid. What...

We gave her ZiwiPeak chicken canned cat food and she ate a little and now she's playing. We have also reached out to Dr Gordon's to see if we could bring her in tomorrow for an exam.

she’s playing a bit but still refuses food - I offered her hard boiled egg. Mason is on his way to the store getting some canned cat food she liked - by ZiwiPeak. Anything else we can try? Should I try giving her water and or bone broth via syringe?

She’s on all kinds of raw food blends with bone broth and goat milk. Supplements wise, she gets fiber detox, via biome, pet ion biome, Rx clay, adored beast phyto synergy and organ powders of various kinds - not all are given in one setting. Any recommendations on food? Cooked food? She turns...

Hi @Dr. Jeff, @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jean Hofve, Further to my thread here: Kitten Diarrhea My kitten "Pipi" continued to have loose/soft stool since my last post on Tuesday (6/11) and had form stool once in between. And tonight (6/15), she vomited three times - first, it was brown liquid...

@Dr. Jean Hofve - your thoughts?

I am not surprised to hear that - who likes a smelly dirty bathroom? I found this enameled steel cat litter box by Katchit: https://katchit.com/faq-cat-litter-box-katchit/ The surface is made of enamel and aluminum - I'm not sure if aluminum is a safe material to use. Also, what are your...

@Dr. Jeff - a quick Google search led me to this...so fancy....

🤔 Ceraminc?! Hmm...very interesting. I will do some research while waiting for Dr. Jean's feedback and see what I can find! Thank you, Dr. Jeff.

I concur, @Dr. Jeff! Thank you.
