    Early ckd signs?

    Hi. It is not normal for a cat to drink like that. That is a huge red flag, as is the unkempt coat and the weight loss. She needs to see the vet and have bloodwork done. Make sure they check her thyroid as well.

    Urgent postpartum advice needed!!! *graphic photo*

    Well, that is disturbing. I wish I could help more. Yes a cat can carry a dead baby for quite some time. I think, even though she seems fine, she needs to be seen. Remember, cats don’t show any signs of discomfort and pain. You thought she was fine when you were home with her, but she really...
