Aw Lisa, just heard the news that little Portia has now stopped eating....Please get her to a vet asap as kittens can go down hill really fast!

sheryl · « **Reply #53 on:** June 23, 2009, 09:15:32 AM »

So glad that Portia is on the mend

lisa281 · « **Reply #48 on:** June 22, 2009, 09:21:25 AM »

Thanks everyone , She is alot better just has a bit of a sore bum

Bazsmum · « **Reply #47 on:** June 22, 2009, 09:19:33 AM »

with little Portia at the vets!

good luck for today

lisa281 · « **Reply #45 on:** June 19, 2009, 21:25:13 PM »

Thanks sheryl for all your advice

sheryl · « **Reply #44 on:** June 19, 2009, 14:58:57 PM »

I know this sounds gross

but the sample will need to be as fresh as possible - it would have made sense for the vet to take a sample while she was there and then they could have tested it straight away.

I hope that she improves over the weekend and its lovely to hear how lively she is

lisa281 · « **Reply #43 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:56:06 AM »

She is at the vets again monday i will take a sample and ask them to test it for tf , She has been playing and running around like mad this morning though , sliding allover my woodfloor

Millys Mum · « **Reply #42 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:36:41 AM »

I agree with Sheryl, collect a nice sample, take it to them and demand its tested, theres no point x raying and following diets if she has an infection

sheryl · « **Reply #41 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:24:33 AM »

It could be a long process Lisa and I still think your vet should definately be checking for TF, if it was one of my cats I think I would be insisting on it now.

Big huggles for little Portia xxx

lisa281 · « **Reply #40 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:18:32 AM »

unfortunely she is still squiting

im hoping it improves before monday

sheryl · « **Reply #39 on:** June 19, 2009, 09:28:43 AM »

Welcome Home little Portia xxx

I hope that she continues to improve over the weekend xxx

Bazsmum · « **Reply #38 on:** June 19, 2009, 08:11:39 AM »

back Portia!

Sending positive vibes to keep her tum well over the weekend! Good Luck with the babe!

kellyn1201 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 18, 2009, 20:18:51 PM »

that's great that she's home, and glad you found her in the cirsps!!

Hope she's ok between now and Monday

lisa281 · « **Reply #36 on:** June 18, 2009, 19:53:54 PM »

PORTIA IS HOME .....

..... then we thought we had lost her

, my daughter left the front door open , so we was looking everywhere for her up and down the street even put an ad in the shop , My son went in the cuboard to get a packet of crisps and portia was inside the multibag of crisps

She seems to be alot better no squits so far , she has been going in her tray , she is only allowed chicken to eat till we go back to the vets on monday and has meds to take too and cream for her sore bum

Bazsmum · « **Reply #35 on:** June 18, 2009, 17:52:21 PM »

Is she home yet Lisa? Hope all was okay at the vets?

Millys Mum · « **Reply #34 on:** June 18, 2009, 12:40:51 PM »

Fingers crossed she comes home today.
Have they sent a general sample off? Bacterial infections can cause these types of problems

sheryl · « **Reply #33 on:** June 18, 2009, 11:49:19 AM »

Hi Lisa, here is the website with details Hun - dont panic because it is treatable but not a lot of vets ever seem to test for it.

http://www.fabcats.org/breeders/infosheets/tritrichomonas.html

lisa281 · « **Reply #32 on:** June 18, 2009, 10:50:51 AM »

Whats tf Sheryl ??? we phoned the vets this morning and we have to phone at half two to see if she is coming home today ...

sheryl · « **Reply #31 on:** June 18, 2009, 10:22:20 AM »

More positive vibes for Portia - get better soon little one x

Did you ask the vet about testing for TF? it may be woth printing off some info and taking it in for them to read. Her symptoms sound very much like TF could be the problem.

Poor little thing. Hope she's better soon.

lisa281 · « **Reply #26 on:** June 17, 2009, 19:27:34 PM »

portia is having to stay in another night as she was fine until this afternoon then she started squitting again

gotta phone tommorow morning

kate g · « **Reply #25 on:** June 17, 2009, 19:14:59 PM »

Hope Portia feels better soon...
As Sheryl suggested it might be worth checking the vets have tested her for tritrichomonas (there's some good info on the FAB website, in the breeders section).

That is sounding good....hope this manages to sort little Portia's tummy out!

lisa281 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 17, 2009, 11:28:40 AM »

Thanks Gillian i will take a look , I phoned the vet this morning and they said portia has responded well to the meds and so far this morning there has been no squits and they said she has been very lively

and if all goes well this morning she can come home tommorow

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #20 on:** June 17, 2009, 11:24:40 AM »

Those links I sent you the other day Lisa have info about colitis/IBD and how raw feeding can help.

My vet, like Sheryl's is, shall we say, a bit 'lukewarm' about raw feeding too! This is another good link for info, http://www.catnutrition.org/ibd.php

lisa281 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 17, 2009, 10:02:32 AM »

Thanks Sheryl will pm you when she comes home for more info and thanks for the offer of your help its nice to know i have someone who is willing to help with regartds to my furbaby

sheryl · « **Reply #18 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:42:00 AM »

It is probably colitis Hun and is treatable with certain diets - that is what 2 of my Bengals were diagnosed with when they were babies and the reason I changed to a grain free and raw diet. My vet is still horrified that I feed my cats raw meat. (If you want to chat anytime just pm me)

Lacto B could really help her too.

I am so glad that there is nothing wrong with her internally and I am sure she will get better. xxx

lisa281 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:21:55 AM »

portia had her xray and they said there is nothing wrong with her stomache but they were keeping her in overnight on antibiotics and fluids got to phone at 10 .30 , i think they said she had soliceus or something like that

sheryl · « **Reply #16 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:21:19 AM »

I really hope that no news is good news ?
