I ended up buying a small bag of cleaned sand (the type you use for a childs sandpit). After a day or two my furball started using it and there hasn't been a problem since! Its clean, around the same price as cat litter and is always available from my local hardware store. Thanks everyone for your suggestions :)]]> FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,465,506#msg-506 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 06:48:47 -0400 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,182,505#msg-505 motheroftribble FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,182,505#msg-505 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:45:46 -0500 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,504,504#msg-504 416 I'm a long time reader and first time poster.
I'm looking for some info for my Mom. Her 7 year old (up to this point, normal) cat "Clawdia", is attacking its tail. Not in a playful way, but it is literally tearing it up. The hair is gone and the tail looks like hamburger. She took it to her Vet, he gave it a steroid shot, gave her some oral meds and some cream to rub on it. That worked for a couple days, now the cat is back at it with a vengeance. The other option is to amputate. Has anyone ever gone through this?
Any help at all will be most appreciated.
Thanks,

I got the roundworm medication last week for Dusk & Clarisse, as well as Lazarus. Clarisse seems to have some improvement. Dusk does too, although his stools are still soft, but not watery. Maybe it was just a parasite problem. I'll be checking in with my vet on Monday.

Poor guy, he's always hungry. But I'll be checking his weight tomorrow. Maybe I'll see some improvement.]]> FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,497,502#msg-502 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 01:33:22 -0500 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,465,501#msg-501 MizFurball FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,465,501#msg-501 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 00:27:02 -0500 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,465,500#msg-500 MizFurball
I am able to buy this litter at my local Dollar Tree store in the U.S. but there are probably companies in Australia that sell it. Might also look under horse stall supplies, cuz I think it is used to keep stalls clean.]]> FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,465,500#msg-500 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 00:24:44 -0500 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,497,499#msg-499 MizFurball
Once the stool firms up for a couple days, I would wean off by giving the dose once a day. If stool still firm for a few days, I would cut the dose in half (very tiny piece) once a day. If successful, stop it after a few days.]]> FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,497,499#msg-499 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 00:17:19 -0500 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,32,498#msg-498 happycat x's 2 FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,32,498#msg-498 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:12:18 -0500 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,497,497#msg-497 SheCat852
Lazarus just tested positive for round worm, but Dusk & Clarisse (the other one) were both negative. Of course, I'll get Lazarus treated again (he was when we got him), but I need help for Dusk. He's got watery stools, is losing weight, & beginning to show signs of weakening. Dusk is only 9 years old - not exactly young, but not old either.

Pumpkin is no good - I can't get him to eat it. I've been trying a powder I got from the vet on his food, with no results. I'm beginning to panic. I just lost my 18 yr old cat in January - I can't bear to lose Dusk too, so soon after my Baby Kitty.

Any suggestions would be welcome & much appreciated.

Oh - & yes - they are the same Dusk & Lazarus that are on this week's picture page, sleeping together.

Thanks,

Regarding keeping the cat inside: I adopted a cat who was an outside cat and was about 6 years old. My method for keeping him from trying to go outside was this. I stood outside the door with a spray bottle of water. I would open the door a couple inches. Gus would come over and try to open it further. I would spray him and close the door. We did this over and over until he no longer tried to go outside. I still occasionally took him outside on a leash and halter -- not often, cuz he figured out how to get out of the halter. He didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to mosey around and eat grass.]]> FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,483,490#msg-490 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:54:57 -0500 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,488,489#msg-489 debbie0817 FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,488,489#msg-489 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:31:15 -0500 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,488,488#msg-488 Mark Mason FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,488,488#msg-488 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:29:46 -0500 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,483,486#msg-486 acraxychick FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,483,486#msg-486 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:10:21 -0400 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,458,485#msg-485 MickieC Meanwhile, I agree w/Dorbow; I'm sure many don't think of posting until we receive an issue of Cat Diary. I looked back and couldn't believe it's been almost 2 years since I've been here!! My how time flies when life gets in the way!
So glad you're back Mark! And so glad I'm back. Love the Diaries and the furum! Much has changed w/my fur babies in the past 2 years (lost 3 babies, was adopted by a new one). Still grieving a bit but am ready to start reading and writing again. Esp w/my new, disabled stray who adopted me last year.
Glad Mark is back, glad Cat Diary is back and soooooo happy that I'm back. Looking forward to reading posts and joining in discussions!
Love and chin scratches to Mars and Indy!]]> FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,458,485#msg-485 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 10:10:39 -0400 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,483,484#msg-484 Aussie girl FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,483,484#msg-484 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:04:42 -0400 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,483,483#msg-483 acraxychick FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,483,483#msg-483 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:11:15 -0400 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,473,482#msg-482 Carolyn FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,473,482#msg-482 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:18:31 -0400 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,478,481#msg-481 carrie FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,478,481#msg-481 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:21:20 -0400 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,301,480#msg-480 copperpempy FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,301,480#msg-480 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:02:50 -0400 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,473,479#msg-479 Mark Mason FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,473,479#msg-479 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:19:59 -0400
