Why did my cat give birth to only one kitten?
Litters are usually 1-8; first litters are smaller, so one can be normal, with later litters larger. Nutritional deficiency or reproductive disease like ovarian cysts or endometritis may also cause one, as can a stud's reproductive disease.
What happens if a kitten eats too much?
Kittens have small stomachs and weak digestion; overeating causes vomiting, bloating, pain, and diarrhea. Long-term overfeeding causes obesity and raises risks of diabetes, joint, and heart issues. Excess food also speeds growth, stressing bones and joints.
A stray kitten was abused and now is hoarse and twitches like coughing
The twitching with a hoarse voice is likely a cough from respiratory infection, heart disease, allergy, asthma, or heartworm, possibly after stress lowered immunity. Give a warm place and amoxicillin-clavulanate plus guogensu; see a vet if worse.
I have a male and female cat; female in heat mated, maybe pregnant, but I don’t want kittens; spay within 15 days
Spaying before finishing vaccines is risky; immunity drops and illness may occur without antibodies. Spaying during pregnancy is also risky. If must spay, use a proper veterinary hospital to minimize risk.
My 14-month-old kitten urinates often but only a little each time; otherwise normal – what’s wrong?
Frequent, small urination may be urinary stones, cystitis or urethritis; get urine and X-ray tests. Stones may need surgery; infections need antibiotics, painkillers and diuretics, plus more water.
My kitten keeps crying miserably even after eating and using the litter; it just sits curled up by me. Why?
Constant crying may mean pain or illness such as pancreatitis, brain disease, or a gut foreign body. Check for wounds, then see a vet if none found.
6-Week Kitten’s Right Eye Smaller, Eyelid Red and Swollen
Around the eye there is hair loss and scabbing; likely ringworm (fungal). Use a collar, disinfect environment, add immunity nutrients; topical/oral antifungals unsafe at this age, so rely on care.
6-Month Kitten Keeps Scratching Its Face and Losing Fur
Face scratching and hair loss may be fungal, bacterial or allergic skin disease. Use a collar, get a scrape, and if no vet, clip and use antifungal spray with terbinafine or ketoconazole; disinfect the environment.
Kitten, Two and a Half Months, Home a Week, Dewormed 11.9 with Advantage, Checkup 11.16 Showed Wood’s Lamp Fluorescence, I Treated with Iodine and Ketoconazole but Skin Wrinkled Yesterday and Scabbed Today: Better or Worse?
Wood's lamp fluorescence with scabbing and hair loss strongly suggests ringworm, a stubborn condition needing continued vet-guided treatment. In recovery, hair regrows and scabs fade, so a fresh scab alone isn't clearly better or worse without that trend.
Why Is a Kitten Breathing Heavily?
Heavy breathing can follow intense exercise or high room temperature and usually settles in ten minutes. But heart disease causing exercise intolerance can also do it, and frequent episodes warrant a vet check.
