Starr's A Very Sick Little Boy

[krazyaboutkatz]

Sorry for the delayed update but I've been very sick for the last few days. I must have picked up a virus either while picking up my meds before my surgery or sometime while I was in the surgery center. I'm just now beginning to feel better.

Starr seems to be doing much better. He sure is acting much happier, perkier, and very goofy. He did have an accident yesterday afternoon on my new carpet runner. One of his stools was very firm but the rest were still on the mushy side. He loves his new food and I give him some wet mixed with dry in the morning and evening and this is also when I mix in the fortiflora. His other 2 meals are the dry. Tonight is his last dose of panucur liquid which he hates. I think he still has several more doses of the metronidizale liquid. Hopefully after the meds he'll still continue to do well and also continue to go in the litterbox. Thanks again for all of the advice and concerns.

I'm so glad to hear that Starr is doing better. But we'll keep the paws crossed until we hear he's back up to speed. Let's get you feeling better, too. Whatever it is that's going around has gotten just about everyone except me so far. And, of course, it had to happen when one of your furkids is sick. A candle burns for you both.

Blessings,
Mary

Thanks everyone. I'm still not feeling great but a little better so I've decided to stay home at least one more day and try to take it easy and get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids.

When I was cleaning out the litterboxes this morning I noticed that one of the cats,probably Starr, had some very runny diarrhea. It's probably Starr but I have just started giving Pearl,Sky, and Ziggy some of Starr's Venison & Green Pea wet food mixed in with their dry food so one of them may have had a reaction to it. If it was Sky or Ziggy though it would've probably been stuck on their fluffy bottom and I would've noticed it. I'm hoping it's just a reaction to the panucur medicine that Starr was on.

Starr still seems much happier to me but he also loves having me at home all day as do all of my cats. It's going to be hard on them when I have to finally go back to work.

I know you all must be getting very tired of hearing this but when I was cleaning out the litterboxes this evening, I found more very mushy poops as flat as pancakes. I know that they're from Starr. Since I wasn't the one to pick the meds for him, I wasn't even sure what the panacur liquid was for so I looked it up on the internet. It's a dewormer. I bet that this is what's causing this. At least I hope this is all it is. I also looked up more info about the fortiflora and it sounds like a very good product for a cat like Starr. I'm not giving up just yet but I hope that he'll continue to poop in the boxes.
