Hi, Traci, I guess I was thinking of something like Neosporin ointment. This is neither here nor there, but I have always thought Norman was part of the cat colony across the street. He looks so much like Grace (his girlfriend), I assumed they were siblings. I spent close to $1,000 on Grace, Norman,...

Excuse my dropping in after a long absence. Cats and kittens have more or less sorted themselves out, although I ended up "stuck with" and falling in love with one of the foster kittens. I'm still caring for Grace, the mom cat who technically belongs to the neighbors across the street, and...

Grace and Alex get along fine for the most part. He treats her like another kitten and jumps on her, chases her, generally abuses her. Then, he wants her to be Mommy and let him nurse. I don't think my sisters can handle herding the cats around. Two of my three cats are *very* shy around outsiders (...

Sorry for the length of this message, but I value everyone's opinions on this list, and I really need some advice. My last little kitten, Alex, was passed over by his first prospective family because they didn't think he was outgoing enough. Then, he got very ill and was on antibiotics for ten days,...

Me, too. :( Grace has scratched her ears the entire time she's been in my house. Not earmites, and skin scraping didn't turn up anything, either. The vet gave me Otomax for her ears. Because Alex the kitten was so sick for awhile, I have not even opened the bottle yet. Now, I'm seeing the same bare ...

I don't want to get too excited, but Alex seems much better this morning! He ate a little, has been following me around the house, playing some. He's tiring more easily but I'm sure that's normal. Unfortunately, I'm working with two different clients today, but I'll dose him with Clavamox before I l...

Hi, Traci, I just checked the box and it is Clavamox. It also says amoxicillin, so I thought Clavamox was just a brand name. I'm not aware of a trauma, but that's possible since he's alone with his mom much of the time. I have noticed that when he is sitting, he sometimes holds one front paw off the...

I've only got one kitten left, and he should have gone to his new home tonight. Unfortunately, he's been really ill for almost two days. He's 8 weeks old, 2.5 pounds. Wednesday night, he was his normal crazy self. I always shut him in the bathroom with his mom at night, and when I open the door in t...

Thanks for the advice. I'll at least know what to suggest. These are new vets for me. My other cats go to the same vet I've used for 15 years, but I decided to use these because they cooperate with the Humane Society for discount spaying and neutering. Unfortunately, that offer was only for February...

Hi, McKenzie, I don't want you to feel picked on, but please consider giving the kitten to a loving family who can love it and keep it safe and happy inside. The purpose in having a pet should be a *mutually* satisfying relationship between pet and owner. Unfortunately, animals don't get a vote on t...
