Formula or kitten food?
Hi everyone! We found this little guy all one in the road and I’m wondering if he/she should have formula or wet food? We gave him some wet food already but I don’t want to continue it if he’s too young
My baby’s chin is swollen, does this seem like a possible tooth abscess?
For context, she’s 12 has diabetes and FIV. I got her when she was a stray at already 7 years old, I found out she was abandoned and have taken care of her ever since. She already had FIV when I got her and developed the diabetes as she got older. I give her insulin twice a day, even with this swelling she is excited to eat and drink, goes to the bathroom and wants cuddles. She’s a lot skinnier but last time I took her to the vet they said it’s because of her condition + age and as long as she’s still lively she’s okay. I feed her !a lot! And she’s always excited to eat. I have an appointment set on Friday I don’t know if I have the money but I’ll do anything for her, I just want to know if I’m doing the right thing. I love her so so so so so much I wish I could express it better, I want her to be okay and healthy. Thank you and sorry for the long post.
