Cats - December 2007

i just rescued a feral kitten. She has roundworms i believe. She has a huge pot belly. I bought hartz rid worm paste for cats and kittens and the instructions are horrible. It comes in a syringe and the dosage is according to the pounds, but it doesn't tell you how often to give this paste to kitten. I've never wormed a cat before and i don't know if you are supposed to give this paste daily or just that one time. I've been checking her stool and i can see little white specs and i also found a live round worm (it was white and spaghetti like and still alive). I don't know if the paste worked and if the worms were killed. What should i look for? If the paste works, would she pass the worms in her stool? should i be seeing a lot of them? Should her belly swell down immediately? she still has a pot belly. I gave her one dose for a 2lb kitten only one time and i just want to know if i continue giving this to her daily till the syringe runs out or if once is enough. please help

He is a Siamese cat.
His brother is a very skinny cat, who hardly ever gets to eat because he is always guarding the food-dish. Is there anything that I can do? The one who guards the dish if very over-weight.

I recently took in a stray kitten about a month ago. She is now around 4 months old. She hardly eats anything. As far as dry food goes she wont touch it at all. I've taken her to the vet for her shots ,,deworming and defleaing and she seemed to get a clean bill of health
She eats if i'm lucky 9 ounces of wet food in a 24 hr period. I give her a 3 ounced pouch of wet food in the am and at dinner time i give her a 3 ounce pouch and a 3 ounce purina kitten food,,,most of the time she will finish that by the next morning....i dont think this is enough but i cant force her to eat. Shes so small. Any suggestions?

I have a sick kitty, he's currently being treated but he's just started on treatment. Anyways, he uses the cat food bowl as his catbox (his sister kitten and another adult cat both eat the food and use the litterbox like normal). He also doesn't eat drink on his own (I feed/water him via eye dropper). Any suggestions? I caught him digging in the food so I tossed him into the catbox and he used it instead, so it's probably an easy fix. I think he may have a bad sense of smell due to his sickness (respitory).

Well... My cat ate something. I am not sure if it is the nipple from the baby bottles (because I have seen in his vomitt sometimes with lil nipples), or the misiltoe (or however you spell it). So anyway. He wont touch his food. He will only drink water. I have no idea what to do. Since this happened after the holidays we are short on cash. We have the money to get him looked at dont get me wrong. However I spoke with my mother who has a problem like that were our dog at a ham bone and it costed her $1400 for surgery and for boarding. I dont have that much money. So I am just curious. What are some things that I can do to maybe help it work out of his system. Or make him feel better. Thank you!

She is a older cat. How old I do not know. Where she came from I do not know either. However, I feed her dry food. But she won't drink water. So I gave her a few zips of condensed milk. Is that alright or will that make her stomach up set?

My vet says my cat has Calicivirus. I told her my cat has bad breath, very red gums & she occasionaly sneezes. I adopted her from a humane society 3 months ago. They said she's about between 4 to 5 years old. My vet said it's almost like a kitty herpes, but it's not and she said she'll keep a watch out for her. I am concerned as I don't know much about this a read a few articles, but still confused. I massage her gums almost daily and give her Feline Greenies for cats. I see some results with that. Does anyone out there at Yahoo have the same cat symptoms? Need some good answers Thanks a lot Yahoo Answers ( :

I heard something about Tigers being specially breeded to be pets. They are smaller than real Tigers and I heard someone call them "Paw Paw Tigers" not sure if the spelling is correct, but thats how they pronounced it. Does anyone have information on these domesticated Tiger's? (Also I am not talking about toygers which are cats that are breeded specially to have a fur coat like a tiger, the pet I am looking for is bigger than a dog smaller than a tiger)

My kittens whiskers have been getting split ends the past 2 days. Does it just happen so they can grow new ones? or should I be concerned?

I've never had to go to the vet before, so I was hoping I could get some answers on a few questions I have..

1) In general, do I need to pay a bill immediately or is there some sort of payment plan I can do? Is there a deadline or something I need to pay by?

2) I have a seven month old cat that I believe has a cyst growing. She hasn't had any shots, so would I be able to get her shots and her condition taken care of in one visit?

3) How much would shots cost?
How much might it cost to take care of a large cyst?

4) What might happen if her condition isn't taken care of?
Is it lethal/guaranteed to be lethal?

5) Is there something else this might be instead of a cyst growing on her stomach? It appears to be growing under her fur.


I'm very worried about her and hope that I can work something out with my parents financially to get her taken care of. She doesn't seem to be in any sort of pain or hindered in any way, but I don't want to have to put this off any longer.

Thank you. <3
