For verily this sucketh mightily

I took the kittens in for a vet check today. Grey and white kitten has not gained any weight and was given sub-cutaneous fluids. We also have a parasite problem. The sample I took in tested positive for coccidia so they've been treated for that. I also have to give them dewormer once daily for the next week which pretty much rules out SkiBurn for me. The thing that is going to be hardest is that I have to isolate them from the bengals and Jane until we get a negative retest. In practice that means keeping the kittens in the office and the others out. Jane regards the office as pretty much her territory and is already kicking up a fuss because I won't let her in. O the joys of catparenthood.

I think the only difficult time keeping them separate is the early morning so I'm going to try extra precautions then. I'll keep a close eye on G&W's weight and start up KMR if necessary.

did you get the digital scale fixed?Better to err on the side of caution and at least get him to take a syringe full of water once in a while. He might find a bit of KMR a comforting treat even if he doesn't need it. Poor kittikin. Poor flustered Honeybear...*sigh*

I miss you I miss you I miss you. I bought a sexy black camisole and I want to show you what's underneath ;)

I have a working scale and I think he's gained a bit of weight. Very wet stools though. If I see any sign of distress I'll have him back into the vet.

and the wet stools are part of the reason why I'm reluctant to give him KMR
