Miss Felix

Edj3 Miss Stevie is so soulful and sweet! Hope you get Annie home soon.

Petite Miss Felix sure looks relaxed! Pretty girl!

Quick update:

Annie may still have surgery, it would be tomorrow if so. The vet is on the fence about it, and I get it.

Stevie is the one w/ blood in her stool. I was scooping the litterboxes and she wanted to play in the box I was scooping and then needed to poop. So I thought I'd wait, and then scoop her fresh poop only yikes, yeah she's the one w/ blood in her stool. I called the vet and he had me bring the sample in since it was fresh enough.

I'm sure there will be more updates tomorrow.

Our vet just called and said Squeakers has pneumonia. She's going to start him on 2 antibiotics and do repeat x-rays in 2 weeks. He is FIV + so it's pretty worrisome. We're not sure exactly how old he is. Somewhere around 12 we think. He was our 2nd foster failure.

Wren44 oh gosh, that's tough. And I've been meaning to say how much I love the name Squeakers. Little Stevie squeaks all the time and I've been calling her Squeakers as well as Stevie. Just love that little squeaking noise

Stevie does that too! The silent meows crack me up every time!

Hoping for good news about Annie and Stevie Edj3.

Hoping that Squeakers is responding to the antibiotics Wren.

Oh Wren44, that would be a pain! Fortunately Annie is a growing kitten who's always ravenous so I crush her little pill and mix it with a tiny bit of her canned food. She gets that first and when it's gone, she gets the rest of her canned food. Two more doses for her. She's still got the prolapse, hoping that as the parasites leave her body, she doesn't need to strain so much.

We won't know if the injection worked for Stevie's Aleria parasite until we get a stool sample again. The bloody stools are nearly gone, so I'm hopeful.

Had an interesting time last night with Grace. She likes to sleep on my lap under a blanket in the Fall. So there she was on my lap sleeping and Nugget jumped up and laid on my legs and put his head on her side and fell asleep. She never even stirred while he was there.

Annie has one more day of parasite meds (so in her soft food tonight). Thankfully she doesn't care there's a mashed up half a pill in her gravy, she just gobbles it all up and then we give her the rest of the soft food. She's still having episodes of prolapse so if that continues through the end of the week, we'll call the vet again and see if there's anything else to try before opting for surgery. She doesn't seem to suffer in the least when it's popped out and bloody although she complains mightily when we smear the ointment on. Guessing it stings and also I wouldn't want someone putting stuff on my butt either.

Stevie is also doing well. We won't know for sure that the tapeworm shot did the trick until we collect and haul in stool samples from all four cats, probably next week.

These kittens make us both laugh and in today's world, that is a very good thing.

That pretty much sums it up, FF !

That's an incredible shot. You can have it put on a canvas. It's definitely worth framing.

Beautiful

petite1: The detail in that photo of Miss Felix looks like an oil painting. It would be lovely to have it printed on a canvas. She is beautiful.
