Beans Update

[Lizzie]

I'm glad Beans is settling in. Is he FIV+ .... I noticed you said he was with two others who are?

No, he's not FIV+, but FIV is only transmittable through a deep bite wound so I let my two older FIV+ boys share space with others, even kittens. Dude doesn't have any teeth left and Dagda is a gentle giant.

I'm so pleased to hear the update, I have been wondering how things were going. Great to hear that the ringworm is on the way out too.

I spoke too soon. The diarrhoea came back with a vengeance tonight after nearly two weeks of normal poop. The kitchen floor, including the leg of the table, the big comforter on the sofa and surrounding carpet, the hall carpet, and the wood floor by the bookcases all got splattered within an hour. I was running from one mess to another. I don't have any isolation bedrooms left since the CH kitten has to stay in secondary isolation for ringworm for another two weeks and I had to isolate Ginger in another bedroom because I can't cover every piece of soft furnishing with plastic. At midnight (and I have to get up at 5am to go to work) I knew I'd have to isolate Beans in the litter room. Now I've got 6 litter boxes lined up in the bathroom, so cramped that I can hardly get to the loo, and Beans has 4 litter boxes to himself and his bed in the litter room. I feel so terribly sorry for Beans because his bum is so sore that it looks bloody. It's off to the vet with him tomorrow morning.

Poor Beans, I hope the vet can stop the diarrhea and soothe his poor bottom. Let us know what happens...........

It's nice to hear about beans, I hope he gets better soon and his poop is sorted out. It's so wonderful that he has so much love from people who care about him so deeply.

Poor baby - prayers for Beans. Hopefully it's just a little bug that can be fixed in no time! HUGS!

Thanks for the updates! I hope you fully recover from the bronchitis; too much activity too soon may bring it on again. And it sounds like you have a very active household!!!

Beans, take care and get well fast little guy!
