I'm babysitting my sister's cat for a few weeks and having a little trouble. Not only is she at the rebellious stage and wrecking havoc for my two cats, but she farts like a trooper and has the runs. She was on dry cat food, but a different brand to what I usually use, I'm thinking of changing her diet to whiskas dry food. Is this a good idea?

an option we always used give her a treat try some hamburg and rice it has constipating effects and usually puts them right back on track cook rice plain and be sure to drain greese and rinse the beef cause greese could cause more damage mix it with her normal dry food and no wet or moist food bad idea to change her diet try to have her eat sepperate from your two if not cleared in a day or two call the vet also keep water readily excessabile to help with dehydration she may be simply missing her owner give her attention and something that smells like her home or owner good luck

DO NOT put any more peroxide on the wound. If you have K-Y jelly (not vasoline or any petroleum based ointment), slather the wound with it and get the cat to the vet. The KY is water soluble and will rinse off easily at the vet, but will keep the muscle and skin edges from drying out. Get to the vet NOW. If you wait until tomorrow, the vet will not be able to close the wound and having the muscle dry out is VERY BAD. GO TO THE ER.

Cats tend to have problems when their environment is changed.The cat may also be a little depressed. But if the symptoms don't clear up by the morning, I would take it to the vet because there may be something seriously wrong with her. Oh and don't change her cat food. It will only make things worse.

I think you have Phoebe's cat "Smelly Cat". Seriously, cats react to having their food changed abruptly, she may also have a parasite. Put her back on the food she was used to and she should be OK, if not, and this persists, she could become very ill as the diarrhoea she is having could cause her to become very dehydrated and that is not good for a cat.

Well first and foremost, did she have any difficulties on the original brand you had her on? If not then you should probably place her back on it. Just remember, when you do swich foods, start out slowly. Try it out by alternating between the 2 brands. Then when she adjusts to the other brand, she should be okay. Also you probably want to take her to get her checked out and her shots up to date as well.

I used the brand name ONE for my cat Stinky. Try and avoid anything with Tuna in it. And no, he did not live up to his name. Meow

Cats are very difficult to prescribe, but if it's having runs need to go to vet... now! I had problem, was serious - for real!
