My 4 month old kitten developed a fever and head tilt. The vet tested her blood and did an ear swab, which was negative. We treated her with 3 different antibiotics and an ear treatment. The fever went away, but the head tilt remains. She is otherwise healthy and playful, no weight loss. She has had this for 1 month now.

The vet has seen her twice and has no idea what to do now. The kitten has a slight balance problem because of the head tilt and appears at least partially deaf.

If she head an ear infection, I assume the treatment treated the infection. Why does she stll tilt her head?

Niether the mother, father or 2 sibliing kittens developed this problem, so it is not contagious and probably not heriditary.

Will she be like this from now on? Will she get better? Can I help her?

Thank you for your suggestions.

I live near a brushy area and don't want to collar my cats for fear of strangulation. Raccoons, possums, and other small animals abound.

Always one or two a day. It just started 3 days ago. I don't know why. The water is crystal clear. Has little bit of a strange odor to it, but I thought it might be cause the tank is new. I have some guppies and neon tetras. They just died for no reason. Does anyone know what this could be? Should I change all the water?
When I put new water in I always use the liquid to get rid of amonia,etc. What can this be? Please, help! tks

He was fine one day and the next morning, he was ill & in alot of pain. Took him to the vet that morning. The vet explained the x-rays to us & showed us that one part of his stomach was bloated. The other part near his rectum was compared "normal" to the bloated part of his intestine. They didnt say anything was wrong with the unbloated part. They said they needed to keep him for observation to make sure his bowels didnt twist, or anything. We went home, and I wasnt worried. I was confident that we would pick him up in 24-72 hours. Because that was the amount of time they said they wanted to keep him in case there was surgery needed. At 2 am in the morning, the vet called & said they were going to operate. About 7 minutes after that, they called and said his intestines were dead, that they were not able to save his intestine so he needed to be euthanised. I am heartbroken. Why did they "observe" him for 10 hours b4 they operated? Could he have been saved? I feel like they let him die.

this is hard to explain, he'll just be minding his business when all the sudden he start snorting very rapidly breathing in and out (he just did this and it almost made me think of someone who has been smoking a long time weezing) It is very loud, and it seems to scare him when it happens. If any one else has ever had this problem let me know what it is and if its serious. he's getting to be very old and I don't know how well he would handle going to the vet.

thanks for the help

Or maybe how to what I can do so he can still get some fresh air without his eyes getting like that. (I've taken him to the vet before and they just gave me medicine and didn't tell me why it happened)

I have raised freshwater before and want to start again with clownfish. I know they are salt water and I have mixed the salt into the water. I have a heater, thermometer, and the tank is about 30 litres. What else is needed? I only want 2 fish... The guy at the pet store said they like bubbles, but my filter bubbles at the top. Any advice on what is needed would be great from anyone who knows!!!
