I wrote this paper as part of my vet tech academic study. We will always evolve to follow current evidence-based practice. Many of the principles in this guide are transferable to FCV and other feline infections.  ..read more

Our kittens are $3000 each. This is based on the following factors that can be quantified with a dollar value: - Vet work > kittens come desexed ($140-200 depending on gender), vaccinated x 3 ($90) microchipped ($25), worming (2 tabs x $11 and they are wormed every fortnight from 2 weeks old) they all come with a physical health record. This doesn’t include routine vet work of all adult breeding cats (routine = vaccinations, dentals, pregnancy stuff). - Food costs: - 25kg meat ..read more

I’m still learning and evolving, so please be kind if I haven’t got everything just right. I welcome any comments/opinions as long as they’re KIND ? So this is still a whole new world for me. I’ve been reading up on this since I chose Henley the day he was born, and he is now just over 2 years old.

Welcome to the worldThe C-Litter It wasn't a smooth ride this time around. Nico required some extra help after secondary uterine inertia. She had two on her own... then everything stopped. So after some oxytocin only partially got things moving, and she had two more... it stopped progressing again, and she required a c-section to deliver the last little one. One of the babies took a long time to start spontaneously breathing on it's own. Nico had a rough wake up. We were tired but we kept going ..read more

Don't you love how Henley looks constantly perplexed ?? I would be too if it was my first time in the sack with a strange woman who spoke a different language ? I wonder if Henley can understand Nico's Danish accent ? Only 6 days post arrival and in true Nico style, she's kicked into a full heat ? This girl is bomb proof and just takes everything in her stride! However, It seems Nico is a silent caller, apart from a few quiet vocalisations... nothing! And her mama is that way too ..read more
