siao bai is ok...recovered after i gave her vitamin given by vet everyday...no more sneezing now...

Dear Cat lovers,

i found this cutie outside my house last night, when she was eating the food i prepared for the strays.i named her mian mian. if anyone of you wish to adopt her, do drop me PM. here are her pictures:

hi el,
i found that one of mian mian's ear is warm and red. She keep scratching it. Any idea? I found her ears are still dirty after i have cleaned them this morning. So i suspect she has ear mites. And i already put medicine used by siao bai last time. Other than ear mites, is there any possibility of other parasites 'staying' in there? The vet is stil closed tomorrow, so i have no other choices but to ask here. Thanks in advance.

hi el,

the kitty i brought back, mian mian is still with me for certain reasons even though she is being adopted.
she was fine besides the ear mites problem that i mentioned when she was staying with me. when her adopter brought her to see the vet, she was told that mian mian has kurap. and was given a type of transparent fluid medicine. mian mian has to take the medicine once a week for 4 weeks continuous.

right after mian mian took the 1st medication, she had diarrhea and i brought her to see the vet. the vet gave me some medicine to prevent diarrhea and a type of canned food which i have forgotten the brand name for easy digestion. everything goes on well, she didnt have diarrahea anymore. and i stopped the medication as was told by the vet and also the canned food and changed back to dry food yesterday.

this morning i saw the dry food are all vomitted out in the cat litter. and she has diarrhea again and couldnt contol the 'output'. i called the vet and was told i have to changed her food back to the canned food or boiled chicken meat and continue with the medicine given. she still have diarrhea even though she was fed with the medicine this morning. im kinda worry now. any suggestion on what i can do other than chaging the food?

thanks in advance

thanks for your reply El.

yeah...i went there trice in a week. but its ok...mummy always love the weaker child more

the canned food is made by chicken. i just checked the brand name, called precription diet.

i think you are right, she ate a lot....maybe because she was fasting for few days, can only eat 3 meals a day, with an amount of 1 table spoon of precription diet each meal. she has finished 3 cans of prescription diet before i changed her food back to dry food. that night when i gave her dry food, she finished the whole small bowl in the midnight.

yesterday i gave her : dry food + medicine which prevent diarrhea: still diarrhea.
when i gave her boil chicken meat + medicine: unshaped soft poo poo....

is it any possibility that orijen doesnt suit her?

yeah, it is diarrhea. Watery with brownish and greenish color. All this while she is eating orijen when she is with me. Cuz i have no other brand of dry food. 1st and 2nd day when i found her, she is ok with orijen. 3rd day evening went to adopter's place, dont know what she ate, 4th day noon came back, continue with orijen. 5th day diarrhea. Then changed to prescription diet, science hill red color (not the gold color 1). Next day found cooked poo poo. cooked poo poo maintained for few days until she finished 3 cans of wet food. then changed back to orijen, then vomit and diarrhea again. Today whole day eat boil chicken meat and chicken soup(3 meals, followed vet instruction), no poo poo/diarrhea, only pee but a lot.
i never tried mixing orijen with wet food. Can i do like that?

yea...she has diarrhea and vomit if she eats orijen. but she doesnt looked sick at all, she is extremely active. besides watching me boiling chicken for her, she will be running and jumping most of the time once she is out of the cage. her appetite is extremely good...she ate a lot....im just controlling her intake of food by giving her not too much of boiled chicken. scared she will vomit again. but i just donno why she will vomit and diarrhea after eating orijen.

she had been eating boiled chicken and drink chicken soup for the whole day yesterday ( 3 meals, i remembered one of your posts stated that chicken soup is good for health). yesterday no poo poo / diarrhea, but pee a lot.

this morning found few little cooked poo poo. so, can i conclude that orijen doesnt suit her? should i just change other brand of dry food or just continue with boil chicken.

while for mimi, the long hair kitten that i foster, she has no problem with orijen at all, she also drinks chicken soup 3 times a day (the soup left over from mian mian's chicken).

the 'water' left over after boiling the chicken. I call it chicken soup. Mian mian and mimi love it.

i started to find it troublesome in failing to give a free flow of dry food to mian mian. I came back at 12am, and she just got to eat her dinner, kinda torturing. Pity her...hope she will get well soon and able to continue with dry food.sigh...

hi el, after few days of feeding mian mian boil chicken with the soup, she doesnt have diarrhea anymore. Only poo poo twice in these 5 days, but pee a lot. The poo poo is still soft,but with shape (not those cooked poo poo )

do u have any suggestion on what should i feed her next? Try orijen again or just continue with boil chicken? Or should i just get her other brand of food?

besides, i have bought them new bed, how to let them to recognise the bed is their new bed?

thanks in advance!!

thanks for the reply el. I brought mian mian to the vet again just now. she has fungus problem on her cheek. I noticed there was a spot on her face without fur. Was given cream to apply on it. The vet gave me a sample packet of iams just now, just to let her to try. I mixed iams with boil chicken and soup just now, as you said, make it softer for easy digestion. Hope that she will not have anymore diarrhea after this, pray hard for that.thanks again for the advise given

iams smell nice, got a sample packet from the vet as mian mian (the kitten that i foster) was having diarrhea everytime she eats orijen. She was fine since the day i gave her iams. And now she is back to her adopet's place. Iams smell just like the keropok ikan

awww...so sweet !!!

this makes me miss my cats and kitten even more now, i have been away from them for 1 week, and 2 more weeks to go

hi elf,
about 3 weeks ago, i changed my cats' dry food to Iams instead of Orijen as Orijen was out of stock in both Pet Lovers Centre and Pet Safari. As my cats have no more food to eat, so i got no time to search in other smaller pet shops around PJ area, so i just grab a big packet of Iams back home.

fortunately, my cats and kitten seem to love Iams more than Orijen, eating non stop. 1 week later, my kitten had soft poo poo (after giving them wet food as a treat before i came back to my hometown) she was ok the next day until now.

i used to control their intake of food (1 full bowl a day and no food at night). during my holidays in my hometown, they stay with my bf. he started to spoil them and feed them(2 cats 1 kitten) approximately 2 bowls of dry food a day and they are still able to 'clean' the bowl.

last night, my eldest cat(maomao) vomited. he suspected it was the dry food but in softer form, brownish color.

my question is, is it the food problem or she just ate too much and couldnt digest? i am worried now. he doesnt have time to bring them to see the vet and i will only be back to selangor after 2 weeks.
any advice given is very much appreciated. thanks in advance!!!

thanks for your reply, really appreciate it...normally elf was the one who always answers my question, that is why my question was directed to him

yeah, i have told my bf to reduce the food amount given to them. hopefully maomao wont vomit after this.

petknode? you bought online? there was a forumer who offered me a big packet of Orijen @ rm135 if not mistaken, but it was a pre order and she couldnt give me an exact date on delivery, thats why i couldnt wait. i have no choice but to wait for them to finish the 9kg iams before i changed back to Orijen again

wow....thats really a great service provided by them. hmm....maybe will try to visit their website and place an order once my babies finished their food. thanks for sharing jotaro

but even if its furball, i was told by the vet it is not good for ur cat to vomit out furball. the vet suggested me to buy something which looks like gel for them to digest the fur. forgot the name as i left it in selangor.

guys, do you guys know where can i get litter box as shown in the picture below?



from this website http://www.irisplaza.co.jp/Index.asp?KB=SHOSAI&SID=P312198F

there is another hole at the back which acts as the entrance from the left compartment to the right compartment.

the compartment without the net is the place the kitties do their business. in order to come out from the litter box, they have to go thru the net compartment. so the cat litters which stuck at the paws will fall from their paws.

my kitties always bring the cat litters out from the litter box and makes me . LOL!

Added on December 19, 2009, 1:13 amyeah...i wonder how big is the hole. i did worry my long hair kitten might not be able to enter if she continues grow wider
and i am not sure if the my babies willing to enter, was thinking wanna give them a try.
i wanted to order online, but the problem is i cant understand those japanese words.

i tried to buy a mat before, but my babies are too playful, always like to play with it and end up the mat will not be at the position i placed it.

one of the forumers here, petplayground told me that she is going to s'pore in these few days and will help me to look for the litter box

if she couldnt get it, i guess i will just give up on this product
