thank you, barncat! as I have worked in animal hospital before and only work in emergency rooms so I don't really know that much about "basic" (exam room) problems -

2. they have what amounts to a cat hemeriod which bleeds on occassion...again bright red on the outside of the poo and the bleeding stops almost immediately after the b.m is done.
this probably is.

he did again this morning but in the tub bath this time with a blood trail. he wiped his rear against it, I wonder what must have really hurt him. it's the worst diarrhea today. about 20% of blood covered too. and is still being a silly boy. I'm still gonna keep an eye on him in case he gets lethargic. I just pray it isn't the beginning of giardia (chronic tummy bacteria) or IBD (inflammatory bowel disease).. IBD is a constant, most struggling problem..yikes. what I'm worried is chance could been caught with conjunctivitis from his mother, star. star was found with awful conjunctivitis and treated immediately. please, please god, not let it be.

it has been all day now, I gave up and gave my dr. coast another call, only the nurse answered. I asked her to have dr. coast check my email asap. she informed me that dr. coast is out sick today..argh. that's probably is why he hasn't answered my weekend email.....sigh.

so, I did some research on temporary (home) remedies for him.. pumpkin bites is what they offer most (rice & cooked chicken actually). I'm gonna add some more nibbles to digest better but afraid that'd hurt him more.

thank you all for your thoughts and chance'd like you to see him!



hugs all,
..chance & gina
