That's pretty big for a tiny kitten. Not sure that will pass. As Dr. Christina said, watch BEAM carefully. Probably a good idea to contact your vet on Monday--it may be worth inducing vomiting to get it out of the stomach. But it's not an emergency right now.

Sure, as a treat it's fine. Too much might give a dog diarrhea because it's pretty rich, but the way you're going to use it should not be a problem.

That's a pretty common area for allergies to show up. Be sure to trim her hind claws so she can't do too much damage.

I don't have a problem with that supplement, and a general supplement like that is 100% necessary, not optional or sometimes. Eggshell and limestone are both calcium carbonate, no real difference.

Yes, that's fine, site-swapping is discussed in the article I posted. A very, very gradual introduction will be needed for Jinxie to start to feel comfortable.

Here's every idea I've ever heard of for getting cats off dry food. It can take a long time, be patient but be persistent. Switching Foods | Little Big Cat - Dr. Jean Hofve Definitely avoid fish, it contains histamine and is a very common allergen. Omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory...

Jackson Galaxy makes a nice B12 for cats that would work just fine for a dog Peanut's size. Amazon.com

Cat-to-Cat Introductions | Little Big Cat - Dr. Jean Hofve Changing Times is a good remedy for accepting change, but Safe Space is another one to consider. Look at those and Scaredy Cat and see which fits best. You can give them a call and they will help guide you.

CBD will not help with inflammation, that is not the system it works on. The stomach lining heals very fast, a couple of days. A few meals, even days, without supplements, i.e., baby food, is not a concern. A sluggish appetite for half a day, or even a day, is not a concern, either. I only...

Whew! So glad to hear that!! Silly kitten! In this case, I guess you *can* buy peace of mind, eh? Yes, pet insurance is a good investment for you! 😁

Oh bless you sweet Joanne, you're doing a wonderful job with her and wow is she a TEACHER right down to her little toe beans! And it's so true that to help her get balanced, you also need to be balanced. I know, easier said than done! Keep going, it will be fine!

It can be done with an endoscope. She feels fine so it's not an emergency.

The dark area in her stomach looks suspiciously like a wad of paper that has been bunched up by the muscular stomach. It is way too big to fit through the pyloric valve. This has nothing to do with gastric emptying time. She is digesting food (that is getting past the wad), and pooping, so...

Hi Joanne, darn that silly Bodhi anyway... she is a pistol! Ultrasound is excellent for soft tissue, much more accurate than x-ray. Since she is feeling fine but not eating, that suggests the paper may still be in her stomach, so now would be a good time to get her checked out. Especially...

Meat can be frozen twice and still be safe, so you're all good!

BTW Anna, be sure to forgive yourself! I had a very similar thing happen to my cat with him on the leash. I took 2 steps away to grab something (what could POSSIBLY go wrong??), there was a noise, he freaked, the screen door slammed, he flew in 7 directions at once... instant disaster! He was...

Also Rescue Remedy if you have it. Put a drop in food/water, and spritz it around the house to take the "bad juju" out of the air! You might do a little EFT for her, too. You can do it without touching her. EFT Tapping for Animals | Little Big Cat - Dr. Jean Hofve

So glad the kitten is doing well! At 4 weeks she can have canned kitten food, but not so much the baby food because it has no calcium or other important nutrients a little one needs. Adding formula is fine, too. She can eat as much as she wants. Feed her up! 🥰 Skip the bath for now, you can...

Hi, thanks so much for rescuing this baby! Dr. Jeff gave you some good sites for info. A 2 or 3 week old kitten needs to be fed at least every 4 hours around the clock. Yes, set your alarm, sorry! Kitten formula is best up to about age 3 weeks, when they can start to eat solid food. Try to can...
