You might have noticed that there was not a Shelter Sketch posted this past weekend. We had a bit of a scheduling snafu, so hopefully we can get the post up some time this week. If not, we’ll be back to our normal schedule next weekend.

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of content last week but we were super stressed with sick animals. I’m sure you can all relate. Anyway, we’re back this week with our newest Pet Parent File on colitis in cats. Our boy, Zane, had a bout with this back in June and we would like to share this experience with you since it was hard to find much information on what his symptoms could mean. We hope this helps you feel more informed should you experience the same problem. Please watch the video and then, if you’d like, you can look inside the cut to see litter box pictures to better understand what I’m talking about. Gross, yes, but I would much rather have you be informed than be frantically searching the internet at 2 in the morning and finding nothing.

Remember, the point of our Pet Parent Files series is to help grow the base of knowledge pet parents have access to on how to properly care for their kids. So please, please comment and share any advice you have on the subject, ask any questions you have or even make your own video and post it as a response to ours!

Disclaimer: Pet Parent Files are meant to be anecdotal in nature and do not in any way serve as a diagnosis or professional opinion. Please always consult your vet when a pet is sick.
