Ever since Rey came back home with a balding problems, the vet had prescribed a Malaseb shampoo bath every 5 days. Initially it seemed to be helping but lately, especially after the latest Malaseb bath, Rey seemed to be balding even more. The spot where I had applied the Advocate spot-on is also bald. In…

It was just 11 days ago that Bunny had an enema, and today he needed one again. I saw him straining (no faeces was passed out) this afternoon. And for the past 3 days, I saw loose stools which I guessed was his, but I guess my guess was wrong. So I wasted no time…

After his enema, Bunny has been grappling with loose stools. It must be age-related. Anyway, under the advice of the vet (and I whole-heartedly agree too), we are not opting for any medication as yet. So far, Bunny has been on steamed chicken (which he is growing tired of) and Saccharomyces Boulardii. I’m really hoping…

After the enema, Bunny had some lingering problems with loose stools. This did not happen for his previous enemas, but it did this time. Still, I’ve informed the vet and now it’s all about adjusting his Cisapride and Lactulose dosages. The vet had earlier advised that Bunny’s subcut should be increased from 200ml to 230ml…

Things have got a little complicated for Rey. Rey was initially diagnosed with flu so he was given a course of Doxy, Bromhexine and Cetirizine. This course finished today and from my untrained eye, I think he has recovered from the flu. Rey still have some of the balding patches (the Malaseb bath in ongoing),…

As expected, Bunny is constipated again. I have not seen stools for 2 days now and prior to that, it was just “small” stools, which we call “the head” (direct Cantonese translation to describe the extreme end of the stools in the colon). His last enema was in April this year, so that’s a 3…

I noticed it two days ago. Cow was licking rocks/pebbles. I know this to be a possible sign of anaemia so I gave him Nutriplus Gel. But Cow had no signs of anaemia at all. His gums didn’t look pale. His appetite is normal. And the rocks that he was licking were some of the…

There was vomit again last night. It could only be from Rey, I suspect. Rey also lost his appetite totally last night. So I quickly contacted the vet and asked if it could be due to the Cystaid Plus or the Clavamox. The vet said to continue with the Clavamox but stop the Cystaid Plus first.…

Yesterday, I took Rey to the vet’s because of his unusually large urine output. The ultrasound showed an inflamed bladder and also some structure loss in both his kidneys. Rey could have been born like this, or he may have not drunk enough water at his former home. But in any case, we have to…

I started noticing yesterday – Rey’s excessive urine output. It isn’t frequent urination. Rather, it’s a large volume of urine each time he urinates. I noticed it today again, after I gave him a Malaseb bath. So I quickly contacted the vet and she advised me to bring Rey in for a check-up. At the…

Believe it or not! Robin has gained weight significantly!! Today’s vet visit: I had to borrow a carrier from my friend for this “operation”. All carriers were Feliway-ed before we loaded the cats in. Throughout the car trip, one cat was yowling and Rey urinated in his carrier. Poor thing. Here’s today’s report: LYNX: Weight:…

I made an appointment yesterday for everyone’s vaccination. Since Robin has already stopped having diarrhoea and everyone is eating well, I thought we might as well get it done on a weekend where I would have help. That’s five carriers in the car. Unfortunately, Robin started having liquid stools again this morning. Sigh…what happened, Robin?…

Okay, so what worked for Indy did not work for Robin. And that is not surprising. Every cat is different. Every illness is different. Switching Robin’s diet to rabbit did not work. It did, for Indy, because Indy’s was a case of allergy which developed after having eating chicken for too long. Robin’s diarrhoea –…

It’s Day 5 today! Lynx wants to be the centre of attention! Smurfy’s wound is healing quite well. Ah, sorry for this picture, but it seems like the Saccharomyces Boulardii could be working. It’s no longer pure liquid stools, it is pasty now. Robin is still eating by himself in one room while the rest…

This post is purely for sharing. Every cat is different, so if your cat has diarrhoea, kindly consult a vet for a proper diagnosis and professional advice. Again, for the benefit of new readers, here’s a very quick backstory: Robin’s family was my rescue and they were rehomed. I just brought them back last week and…
