I can't improve on any of the excellent advice the others have posted! "Understanding your Cat" by Dr. Michael Fox is a good book, older, so might be hard to find. Shelby is a lovely girl, well done you for taking steps to improve her health and happiness! |

Hi If she is being sick and has the runs. A good idea maybe not to feed her on wet food (IE whiskas or felix). Just give her boiled chicken and ask at the vets for some Feline ID. That is a very bland food but for some reason cats love it and it will help with her diorrhea and sickness fingers crossed. Then once she settles down and her tummy seems better reintroduce wet food slowly by putting a little at a time in with the ID and gradually reducing back to just felix or whiskas. It worked a treat with one of my cats so just a thought for you. Good luck Sarah x |

Okay, so updates for you! Just got back from the vet, turns out that the scabs were not mange [thank heavens] but actually an allergy to fleas, so shes had treatment for that and we've been reassured that will improve within a few days. Shes been wormed and fleaed as well, all good. The lumps are potentially worrying, we're going back in a week for the vet to check over her lumps in case they've grown, if they have, they're likely mammery lumps, and he says the prognosis is not usually brilliant with mammery lumps in cats.  Heres hoping they're just old lady hard lumps. She'll also get all her vaccinations on her next visit too. All in all shes a jolly happy bunny, she has new bling now [a cute pink bell collar to wear inside so we can keep track of where in the house she is] plus her new slicker brush which we're going to have a nice session with later, plus new bowls for while shes inside. She seems very happy, is always around/on top of one of us while inside, and hopefully on the mend, just those lumps to worry about now! |

I am horrified to read about this blatant neglect why would someone object to someone else caring for an animal if they don't want to??? Tell him where to get off or you will report him!  Anyway now I'm off my soap box  Well done to you. The cat is absoloutely beautiful and loves a cuddle by the looks of it.  You have taken on a lot but it will be so rewarding. |
