She may not feel like it now because of the antibiotics but if she goes for more than a day refusing to eat and drink, then that means that there might be a blockage somewhere and at the very least, she runs the risk of getting dehydrated. If she's not taking food or drink, then I would be seriously thinking about the vet again. There is a credit care card that you can apply for, to help with paying for her care, you can ask the vet about a payment plan, you can ring around vets to see if you can find a cheaper one and you can look up low-cost vets in your area. These links might help.<br /> <a href="http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20106" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20106</a><br /> <a href="http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html</a><br /> <a href="http://www.pgaa.com/financialaid.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.pgaa.com/financialaid.html</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40324#post-706381 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:16:19 +0000 Sadri23 706381@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>And is it normal for her not to eat or drink ANYTHING? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40324#post-706375 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 21:40:48 +0000 Sadri23 706375@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>My older sister and I took her to the vet yesterday at midnight and the vet said that she may have eaten a "foreign" body or something and he also said that she may need an x-ray to see in her intestine but that costs over $500! So I'm giving her anti boitics now like the doctor prescribed. Im just praying she'll get better soon! Well thanks for the advice I really appreciate it.😊 Wish us the best! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40256#post-706355 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:52:19 +0000 ladysky61 706355@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>How did the spayings and neuters go? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40293#post-706345 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:49:05 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 706345@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm sure the birds have no idea :)<br /> Comet likes to catch the feather on a pole. When he does, he gets shifty eyed, and struts away with it...with me following, pole in hand. Then he sits and puts it down and IMMEDIATELY puts his paw on it!<br /> A lifetime ago, Smokie came strutting up the driveway with a huge blue jay in her mouth. We were hanging outside, and she joined us, putting the bird down and a paw on it. Then she got a bit too relaxed, the bird jumped, squawked in her ear and flew to a branch overhead! Bird=1, Cat=0 </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40293#post-706335 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:39:30 +0000 Davesw1 706335@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>She got to take her frustrations out on my little indoor remote control helicopter, she jumped a clean 3 foot in the air to swat it out the air and then proceeded to prod and poke it and looked very happy once she had killed it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40330#post-706332 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:27:48 +0000 sweetamy189 706332@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>oh we definitely play with them, we even got a new toy for them to play with, they love playing with it especially cause it came with cat nip but he has just been wanting to take a nap, i think spaz's problem is that he misses the camp site we took him to about a week or 2 ago, but its been to cold to go camping again. spaz has been playing outside all day today so thats a good sign its red thing now who wants to stay in and watch tv, we have been watching planet earth, he will actually sit there and watch it with us. he loves when the puma killed its pray, his inner big cat was showing lol. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40330#post-706324 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:29:14 +0000 jeankit 706324@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Tee hee, Lucky did that last week when it was cold &amp; snowing!

Do you play with them every day? Also, re: Spaz: if cats are in an unstimulating environment where they don't play much or at all, they will become more and more passive. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40331#post-706300 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:40:19 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 706300@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Check out your local shelters and cat rescue organizations.

A call to the vet would be good to be on the safe side. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40324#post-706278 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:43:59 +0000 Kilroy 706278@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>George threw up white foam when he was sick with bladder stones; at first he was throwing up his food but when there was nothing left in his stomach he kept throwing up and what came up was white foam. Just offering my experience as a counterpoint to the scary idea of rabies. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40297#post-706277 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:38:42 +0000 Luigi 706277@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We were told that the only way to definatively diagnsoe it is through a spinal tap and MRI and given the severity of Luigi's symptoms and his rapid decline there would be no hope in saving him. I wasn't present at the earlier vet visits but beleive that the blood tests did not show anything earlier and that was before he developed any symptoms other than the cloudy eye. I really miss our little Weegi so much. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40324#post-706276 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:31:38 +0000 ladysky61 706276@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>You need to take her to the vet, please. It sounds like she might have eaten something bad. </p> <p>Also, has she been vaccinated against Rabies? (assuming you are in an area with Rabies) You want to make sure that she doesn't have Rabies, otherwise you are putting yourself at risk. Foaming at the mouth is a classic sign of Rabies. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40324#post-706245 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 03:21:44 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 706245@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Call your vet please, she may have gotten into something that was poison or didn't agree with her. But we are not medical personnel and only a vet would know for sure. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40324#post-706229 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:45:25 +0000 Sadri23 706229@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>My 8 month old kitty Nala keeps throwing up white foam. Every like 15 minutes she fine then the next minute she runs down the stairs and barfs at the last step.<br /> Her stomach moves in and out violently. Does it mean shes dying? or do i just get her checked out at the vet? i dont want to lose her and im only 14 she means so much to me. and im the one who picked her. So plz give me advice quick! :'( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40297#post-706226 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:54:09 +0000 Rea5 706226@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I thought that the vet could run a tighter test to check to see if a cat has been exposed to FIP? It has been along time since I have had to deal with FIP. I am happy to read stubbys mom's post about an animal actually living with it. Thats the beginning of figuring out how to treat it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40321#post-706222 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:42:32 +0000 CSBM 706222@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>cold ??? my kitties don't what that word means. i keep my apt. at 72 all the time to keep my legs from cramping. add flannel pjs and sheets and a king size comforter on a full size bed and you get an idea of how warm the bed is. cold ??? don't know what the word means... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40317#post-706216 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:48:37 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 706216@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I agree with Kilroy, she is trying to show her love and wants company. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40321#post-706210 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:02:50 +0000 LadyKat of IA 706210@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>CBM, it was a little chilly in the bedroom, but they usually don't get that close even when cold. I love to see cats and kittens cuddling. I just didn't ever expect to see mine doing that. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40321#post-706209 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:53:26 +0000 Marnet 706209@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I love when one of my three cats climbs on top of my hip or ribs when I'm sleeping on my side and they lie down stretched out and purring there. It is such trust and loving snuggle. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40316#post-706208 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:50:15 +0000 Marnet 706208@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The most unscented litter I've found yet is Petsmart's house brand, ExquisiCat litter. I use the unscented non-clumping clay litter. It is inexpensive, works very well, has no scent to it at all. I don't know about the clumping version but if it is half as good as the regular clay litter it might be worth a try also. Just be careful if you buy some and be sure you get the unscented version as they also sell one that is perfumed.</p> <p>I have three cats with medical problems that have them peeing and pooping more than average. As long as I keep the solid waste removed several times each day and the litter thoroughly stirred up so it doesn't form a soggy bottome layer, I don't have any odor problem from the litter until it is very soaked and needing changing. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40321#post-706204 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:18:15 +0000 Mojo 706204@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Kensho &amp; Jasmine sometimes sleep adjoining each other, during the daytime. At night they take up different sections of my legs, usually on opposite sides. Amber, who is a relative newbie, has started to sleep on the bed at night, but she keeps to herself and doesn't seek heat transfer. Nonetheless it has been great that she has FINALLY started, only in the last month, to sleep on the bed at night. </p>
