Micah

[NoahsMommy]

When I took Micah to the vet on Monday, she gave him Science Diet I/D because of his persistant diareah (sp?).

He's been on it since Monday night, so almost two full days. He's still having his problems, not a little, but A LOT.

It was David's turn to sleep in the bedroom last night and every time Micah went potty, he cried.

I just called the vet and they are prescribing him Flagil (Have no idea if that's even correct) and I'll be bringing him in before Saturday for another look at his eye.

Poor little guy!!

On a happy note, he slept with David last night too!! This morning, before Oliver has a hissy fit, Micah came to the open door and wanted to play with Basie. You should have heard him chattering, he was so happy!!

Aw, poor baby I hope the medicine will help him feel better soon.

It's soo nice to hear that he's loving with you guys so soon! hopefully your babies will accept him just as quickly once he's well enough to meet them!

I think he'll like the kitties more than us at first. He was so excited to see Basie and Oliver!

I asked the vet for some form of whatever she's giving me for him in a liquid so I can mix it with his food. We can't get that close with him yet. He's still very afraid.

Awwwww.....poor sweet Micah baby!! Hopefully the medicine will help clear up his diarrhea. I'm confident that he and Basie will be good friends. What a sweet little cutie! **hugs**

Let us know how he's doing

I hope Micah's diarrhoea clears up quickly, poor boy. But it's great to hear that he's keen to integrate!

Poor little guy!

Just make sure you keep an eye on his water intake. He can become dehydrated quickly, especially with him having the runs.

[Nomilynn]

Awww.. is he licking at it? Maybe he will need some kind of cream and a collar (but I suppose that would REALLY freak him out!).

I really hope he's ok Poor little guy..

Sometimmes diarrhea is a hard thing to kick. If one food or medicine does not seem to work ask to change to another. I had 3 cats with diarrhea in the last few months and they all took experimantaion to cure it.

[NoahsMommy]

Just got back from the vet. They gave me metronidazole liquid. He has to have 1.3 ml twice a day. I hope this one works for him.

I put it in his kitty milk and he enhaled it! GOOD BOY!!

He's being very good about drinking his water, about half a bowl a day.

Good boy, Micah!!! You take your medicine, and you'll be all better real soon!!!

My ex's aby Prattley had the same problem when I first moved in - It took us 3 months to figure out it was stress related. He was on metronidazole to which helped a little. A year later I got Bastet - Prattley got the same diarheoa thing again - we knew it was stress related but at least this time it wasn't so bad....

Maybe its an aby thing to get stressed and then get really sick with one thing or another?

[Barbara]

Abys for sure are sensitive cats and to my opinion a little stubborn too. However with the exception of a little peeing on the flour (over all maybe 5 times in the first 3 years) Filou never showed a physical stress symptom.

Coming in to a new group of cats is certainly stress, even if it works out well and so I also hope, Micah will be better soon.

Kelly, I sure hope that Micah gets better soon and that this medicine will help him. I'm so glad that he seems to like your other cats. I can't wait to hear about their introductions. Please keep us posted on his condition. I know that my Sunny is a very nervous high strung cat and he's only half aby. He's never had a diarrhea problem though. Good luck. All fingers and paws are crossed for a complete and speedy recovery.

How is Micah doing today?

[NoahsMommy]

Poor Micah....he's back in the litter box a lot today. Just sitting here at the computer, he's gone potty six times, in three different litter boxes. He cries the whole time.

I called the vet and we have an appointment for 11:00 am tomorrow. Poor little guy.

The metronidazole didn't really work.

Any ideas??? What he leaves in the litter box are very small, flat pieces, not skinny, like there's a blockage, but you can tell its liquid.
