I have a cat that's almost 11 years old and has always had a soft crackled meow. She's perfectly healthy, always has been. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

oh yes, yes, that's a good idea! i remember taking in stool samples every other day for two weeks . . . just make sure it's pretty fresh. i think they told me no longer than 8 hours. you might want to ask when you call though. and it doesn't matter if it's covered with litter.

not sure if it's the same, but my kitten had similar problems for the first few months of her life. the throwing up, soft stools, scooting her poopy butt, and she even had blood in her stools. she didn't get better until the vet treated her for intestinal parasites. had to treat her twice. she does ...

Welcome to the board! This is a great place to share ideas & stories with other animal lovers.

You might want to check your pic links. When I clicked on them, said the pics weren't available. I'd love to see your new babies! Such an exciting time!!!
