Why are my cat's eyes dilated after bringing home a new kitten?

He may be experiencing some stress and anxiety from having another cat in the house. You could try Feliway Spray or a diffuser and see if that helps. You could also try Solliquin and see if that helps. If he is still having issues than your vet could prescribe an anti-anxiety medication, like Prozac. http://www.feliway.com/us/#redirected http://www.solliquin.com/

If Cali is behaving normally otherwise, you can try using an e-collar (cone) on her to prevent scratching or rubbing. This may allow time for healing. Also, check her over for fleas or flea dirt. If she is sensitive, just one flea bite could make her very itchy. A pheromonal product, such as Feliway spray or diffuser, may decrease any stress or anxiety due to your new addition (Congratulations, by the way!). Keep the Ivy out of reach if possible. While not high on the toxicity scale, ingestion or chewing of a leaf or two may cause irritation in and around the mouth and/or GI upset. Monitor for worsening of symptoms, squinting of the eye(s) or discharge. See your veterinarian for a physical exam to address non healing or additional symptoms.

Change in environment can be very stressful for animals so I am not surprised that he is having some problems adjusting. You could try a Feliway diffuser and some Solliquin chews and see if that helps. https://www.feliway.com/us#redirected http://www.solliquin.com/#page-top

It could be that if the kitten went into your bedroom, the scent of the kitten could still be there and Sophie thinks there is a stranger in your room triggering anger. To help her relax, I recommend getting a plug in diffuser called Feliway. It releases hormones that help calm a cat down. See if that helps her, but if she doesn't calm down in a couple of days, have her seen by a vet for a health check. I hope this helps!

Sometimes when you bring a new animal into the house you have to be prepared for the fact that it may effect the personalities of other pets. Usually it is related to stress so you could try buying a pheromone diffuser to reduce this. Otherwise it could just be that she prefers the company of the kitten and this has changed her personality.

There are a few things that you can do to try to decrease stress and make the transition as easy as possible for Boxer. One option for decreasing stress is to add a Feliway Diffuser ( https://www.feliway.com ) or Comfort Zone Diffuser ( https://www.comfortzone.com/ ) to your house. This is a calming pheromone that will work for a month. I have also had luck with Rescue Remedy ( http://www.bachflower.com/rescue-remedy-pet/ ) which can be added to the water and is safe for both cats. There are a number of companies that make calming treats such as Composure ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetri-science-composure-feline-bite-sized-chews ). You could also consider calming music specifically for cats ( http://throughadogsear.com/tace/through-a-cats-ear-1-music-for-calming/ ). Be sure to provide "safe" areas for Boxer to be able to get away from the kitten where he can eat and drink in private without worrying about the kitten. And spend as much time as possible playing with the new kitten to get his energy out, so he does not try to play with Boxer until Boxer is ready. If Boxer continues to have abnormal behavior, eating and drinking, I would recommend having your veterinarian examine him. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and gives you some ideas. Thanks for using PetCoach.

I suggest you try some Feliway diffusers in the house. Feliway is "happy cat" pheromones and really helps to de-stress cats in these types of situations. https://www.feliway.com/uk Usually adding new cats/kittens to the mix is not a good idea. It usually just causes more stress. Hope this helps.
