I have a 12 week old female calico kitten and a 10 week old turkish vandinski the calico has had the runs and soft stools since I got her a week ago but the other kitten seems fine. She was eating friskies cat food when I got her and I changed her food to iams kitten food which both kittens are eating(I am not sure if this is a good enough food?) I am thinking it might just be that she either she has a sensitive stomach and will need better food or maybe she has worms I am not sure. I think that if it’s not worms I will try to change her food to Royal Canin kitten food becuase our Chihuahua is on the same thing and I know this is a good brand… also does anyone know how much it cost to get a kitten dewormed at a vet and if they need to go in for an appointment or can I just buy the pill from the vet also I was wondering if over the counter deworming pills would work please if someone can help me on what is going on could you please let me know and let me know?
MY KITTENS DO NOT HAVE ANY MILK ONLY WATER AND I GIVE THEM FRESH WATER TWICE A DAY

Friday we came home from work/school and found our chihuahua lying on the floor, cold and stiff, in a pool of blood, bloody stool, and urine. The blood appeared to come from her rear end. She was left gated in the kitchen from 7am until we got home at 5. We can’t afford a necropsy, so I’m racking my brain for answers. Here are the facts:

-3 yrs old, healthy
-up to date on shots & heartworm meds
-no external injury
-no disturbance in eating/drinking
-no signs of lethargy or distress; no mood changes
-no signs of vomiting or diarrhea; fecal matter at the end may have just been evacuation, as with the urine
-no pus or discharge or smell of infection, but she was NOT spayed (not ruling out pyometra totally)
-blood was dark
-no debris in the stool
-stiff and cold when found
-blood "pool" was mostly dry or coagulated, indicating it had been there most of the day
-eyes open, laying on her side by the gate to the living room when we found her, blood, urine, etc. only found on her underside. She didn’t roll around in it, but stepped in some of it – there were footprints. We didn’t realize just how much blood until we moved her. This is our big clue, I think, but I don’t know what it means.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
As I stated, we can’t afford a necropsy. I’m just wondering if anyone else has ever heard of this.

And, she’d been out in the back yard both the night before and just before we left in the morning. Could a poison do this?

I really dont know what im asking but ill explain. I bought a chihuahua on march 10th the people gave me a puppy pack which had a little heart worm pill in it kinda like his shot record and reg. application. i bought the type of food that they told me he had been eating. when i took him home he seemed fine he didnt eat much but he drank water and he was a little active. he chased my little girl through the house it was cute. well i went through papers and seen that his was born on jan. 18th 2009 and he had already had his 6 wks shots but there was no name written down as to who the vet was. next day he was a little less active and still not really eating, and i noticed he was having soft stool almost diareaha and spitting up like a newborn baby does so i tried to call the number for the lady i purchased him from and # disconected. on the 3rd day the 12th my little girl dropped him on the hard kitchen floor. omg i was so scared. he hit on his side and i held him a min. then put him down to make sure he was walking fine. a few hours passed and he still seemed fine but with the other prob. of not eating i said im bringing him to the local animal hospital. i went there and told them everything she said he has fleas which is making him anemic which i had made an apt to go to a vet on the 27th of march to get shots and to treat fleas and then she said his blood sugar low and never mentioned anything about him falling just stayed stuck on the fleas. they gave him a capstar checked his poo and gave him a cerenia injection which i did not understand most of what the lady was saying. she said to go to vet next day. so i bombed my house for fleas next day and took him to a vet he was still vomiting and soft stool. vet really didnt communicate with me much either but he check his poo again looked him over i gave him paperwork from the animal hospital gave him another cerenia injection and a droncit injection and some recovery rs food and told me to litterly force feed him with this dropper thing and gave him frontline plus. he said bring him back on 27th for other shots. im like confused really bc i dont know what wrong with my puppy and now he is constantly sleeping not walking around much or playing he finally drank water by himself today though he just dont seem right ya know. and he stoped vomiting until today he vomited clear liquid up a few times today. march 16th. which i know im gonna call vet tommorow and be like hey he still sick. but idk. can anyone help me and explain anything to me. i am so worried bc he just seem sad. his tale has not wagged since 1st day it stays between his legs. thanks.

I really want a chihuahua but i don’t think my home right now is suitable.

I live in a small apartment, about 700sq feet, I have a lot of wooden furniture and wires from my computer, entertainment system are not hidden. Also, some of my groceries in the kitchen are placed in boxes under tables…

I know that once dogs have settled down and grown accustomed to an environment they are not as destructive but in my case, should i wait till I get a bigger apartment?

Also, I smoke a lot and I know dogs hearing is sensitive, i bump the bass on my stereos pretty loud, cops usually come once a month and my local building doorman has to come and tell me to turn down my music because the neighbors are pissed at least twice a week.

Are these ideal conditions for a dog, or should I wait until I get a bigger apartment? I can lower my audio levels but i don’t know what i can do about the wood an wires and groceries on the ground…
