Hello all, I am back with another poo post. I posted a few days ago about my kitten suddenly having mushy stools and thought it might have something to do with a food switch. she has since firmed up and is completely back to normal, However, I now have a worse problem!

I had posted on here about a year ago about my cats having bloody stools in relation to giardia. they have both been free and clear of this parasite for quite some time. but recently i have noticed my baby having a few drops of milky white discharge from her anus when i lift her tail up, it...

We have a 9 month old kitten and she has suddenly developed an odd black, crusty patch on her nose. This is the only area that she has fur. The vet said she didn't think it was ringworm, but wasn't certain what it is. Any ideas? This top photo is her nosey before...all white and clean. The...

Hey there, my boy Oscar has eye-issues since i got him one year ago. I tried different vets, and homeopathy. Homeopathy worked best so far but the problems didnt go away.... now I saw a new vet and she told me to visit an eye-clinic, because she thinks its an entropium. While searching the net...

Hey! As I miss seeing pictures of different skin issues, or I am very bad at searching when I'm curious about something. I just want to share this picture with you of Mika. We brought her to the vet today as she had developed a miscouloring or rash on her chin. The vet took a skinsample and...

Here's the wiki account, so nobody has to go looking for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giardia I had no idea it was so communicable, granted I knew little to nothing about it before, and I had little reason to be concerned about it. In many ways, I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed with myself for...

As you know, Pippin had her nodule where her spay was done drained last week. When they found out she had an infection and not a hernia her doctor put her on some antibiotics. Now she has a re-check tomorrow to do a weigh and adjust her meds accordingly. She has indeed gained weight and is back...

We just got back from the vet, Lucifer has an infected sebaceous gland on his neck. It has always been a little bump but we kept it under control by cleaning it regularly (pressing the stuff out) and it's never really been a problem. Last time we were at the vet though she told us to leave it...

Hey guys! I'm having some issues with my kitten and I hope you guys can give some advice? We purchased a Sphynx kitten in August from a very good breeder and he seemed to have his kittens trained to use the litter box but we did notice that some of them would pee in the sink. Since we brought...

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum as well as to the sphynx ownership. I hope we can get some answers to the problems we've had lately. I apologize for posting in two different forum's topics. We saw Ghandi at a Cat Show in Del Mar in January this year (he was almost 4 months old), and fell...

A few days ago, I noticed an abrasion on my kittens head. I assumed it was from play fighting with my roommates kitten. By day 2 he had about 7 or 8 of them. Day 3 he had at least 13. Day 3 we went to the vet, and he was found to have ringworm. Now...I've got a couple of questions I was hoping...

So I'm about 99% sure Frank has now contracted ringworm. I saw a tiny round 'ring worm looking' red spot on his back the other day. I decided I would just keep an eye on it and see what happened. Now today there is a new larger red ringed spot on his back. I immediately quarantined him and began...
