Hope it goes well at the vet honey.  Rosie and Portia are lovely.  I can remember when Skye was a little ball of fluff like Portia is now 

She was a little hooligan then and still is now

 hiya rosie and portia have there appointment wednesday morning   , So hopefully we will get it all sorted 

[lisa281]

thankyou sheryl , im gonna phone them tommorow morning , but due to me having to get a lift off my mum im making the appointment for tuesday morning but i will update and let everyone know how they get on 

[sheryl]

I am so sorry to hear that both you fur babies are poorly - good luck at the vets tomorrow xxx 

[Daisymac]

aww thanks Lisa,  good luck tomorrow,  let us know how you get on,  I will look for updates xxx

[lisa281]

 Everyone is sooo nice on here and i want to say a big thankyou for all the advice you lot have given me about my cats 

[lisa281]

 yes i will do millys mum and thankyou jude 

[Millys Mum]

Can you collect a sample and take it with you? It can then be tested for various parasites/bacteria

[Judecat (Paula)]

Hiya Lisa, you are doing the right thing getting them checked out, and they both look incredibly cute

[lisa281]

 the previous owner said because she had gastro , and she is drinking and eating really well which is a good thing . Hopefully it will tommorow as im phoning for an appointment first thing in the morning 

[Daisymac]

Lisa,  just make sure she is drinking between now and tomorrow,  syringe liquid into her mouth if she wont drink,  seriously kittens will dehydrate rapidly.  Good luck tomorrow honey and let us know how you get on xxxx.   If Rosie is not eating I would say that is probaly just her nose being put out of joint with Portia coming into the house etc,  but you are doing the right thing getting them checked out.  Portia is the concern,  she shouldnt have the runs for this long,   do you know why she was on Antibiotics in the first place ?

i wish thats all it was  portia was like it before i got her but she was like water which was yellow now she is brown and runny and seems to have no control of her backend especially when she farts

You mentioned Portia is off to the vet: tomorrow, I guess?  Let's see what's going on with her and then we'll take it from there

Hi Lisa,

I agree with Dais's advice.  With regrds to Poria and the "Squits" .... as she has only been with you a week she is probably a bit runny due to the stress of moving into a new home.  I would advise just feeding bland food with a little bit of probiotic (lacto-B is excellent).

[lisa281]

 yes daisy they are both ill , rosie isnt eating and portia has had the squits since ive  had her ( which is about a week) thanks for the advice . i have put all rosies stuff upstairs and portia's downstairs.

lisa .

[Daisymac]

OH no Lisa are they both ill now ?,  I am so sorry to hear that.

Re Litter Trays,  sounds like you need one upstairs with Rosie (very odd as I have a Rosie who lives upstairs !) and one downstairs for the baby,   as far as food is concerned,  I would feed them away from each other at the moment,  after a while you should be able to feed them in the same room or even from the same bowl when they are eating the same food.  I hope they are both ok xxx

hiya

As probably seen in my previous posts both my cat and kitty are ill and are off to the vets , but im confused on a few things as im new to having cats

1 .... where is the best place to put the litter trays in my home i have two ... rosie likes to stay upstairs as she doesnt like much noise and i think the new kitty .

2...... is it best to put they food away from each others .

I  just want to do whats best for them and i have read a few posts on here but im getting confused as to whats best .

thanks lisa
