With a face like that you could not help but love him.
At last, he's been given the break he has needed for some time. It will be interesting to hear how he adapts to his new home, and what Critters' vet has to say about him.
Well...he's been twice, Mon and Tues. He has mites, fleas, UTI, crystals, and his foot's infected. He had to be cathed, and he REALLY showed himself. We came home with weeks of antibiotics, weeks of pred, and assorted other pills, potions, and a sack of Ringers. Luckily I got the Clavamox into him before he hid. He was 11+ pounds and needs to lose a little weight; it's better for his back & foot to not have to tow so much.Quote:

Tues. we saw a different vet, and she took him off everything but Clavamox after expressing him; he pee was still nasty & bloody. She felt like he was helping her pee him, so she said to leave him alone, except for the Clavamox, until Thurs to see if he'd pee on his own. Very, very happily, we got pee, and a fistful of tapeworms, yesterday. Never a dull moment with him!!
So...now he's been wormed too.
Oh, and he does NOT, obviously, leak pee all the time. :rolleyes: Frankly, that was a surprise.
I bet he got scared or stressed, and peed outside his box in his new home. OR he had a really bad infection and the new people didn't bother with a vet.
:mad:
Well, the best happy ending has happened - he's with YOU, and had many PTrs helping him. He's better off away from those - er- people.
I hope the original HS knows about this health update...and that those people are on an adopter's CAUTION list, if there is such a thing.
He is SOOO cute!:love::)
Oh, no question--the UTI was terrible, and his pee was stinking, nasty, bloody, disgusting stuff. Tomorrow he gets to come out & run amok again. :D
Yeah, the CA people know about all his diagnoses.
Damaging the tiles??Quote:

I hope he's alright and someone will take him to a home soon. So sorry to hear this.
P.S, for 'damaging the tiles' - it doesn't matter what he damages. He is damaged. -_- :mad:
They certainly DID damage him. GILL brought him most of the way a week ago today, and Monday I took Koi in and got confirmation he had a UTI, crystals, mites, fleas, and his curled up foot was infected. At long last, the UTI is MUCH better, and the last 2 nights he's peed in his adapted litterbox. :D He runs amok during the day, and even found his way downstairs yesterday!! He'd never done stairs before.
If anybody has any old king- or queen-size mattress pads, we'd be glad to take them. Leaky Boy has decided he likes to sleep higher on the bed, so I'm hoping that using a mattress pad as our top blanket will catch the leaks. The wash loads are killing the washer!
Can you use a diaper on him for at night??
Oh dear - is he still leaky, after all the meds and stuff?
I hope he heals up soon!
You could try Freecycle for pads...hopefully a PTr will have some around.
Normally, he drips just a little. When he's sick, he drowns the place. The week he & Ari were both snotty they drowned the place so much I only finished the washing yesterday.
Just for the heck of it, have you tried putting a small cat bed with a small pad covering it right on the bed near you and putting a little catnip on it to attract him? If he likes it and sleeps in it that might help a little. If that gets wet it's easier to throw them in the washer than it is a comforter.
Also, I've seen plastic mattress covers in the dollar store, perhaps that can be used to cover the top of your blankets as well.
And thank you for saving him.
Thanks for the ideas. Luckily, I don't use comforters, having learned a long time ago that a pile of blankets is MUCH easier to wash!!
