Mocha has to go to the Vets tomarrow.*Update Post #9*

[critter crazy]

Mocha is back from the vets, and well....she isnt happy!! She has another URI and has to be on Amoxicillan again! She hates taking Amoxicillan!! Not to mention, taking it 3 times a day!! But at least I feel much better jknowing what is wrong with her. I suspected another URI, I could see it in her face. Hopefully she will be back to her normal playfull self again, before you know it!!

Mocha also got weighed today! Can you guess how much my gorgeous 11 month old fluffy girl weighs?????? How about 11 pounds!! I can even begin to imagine how much she will weigh when she is healthy!!

Autumn went with us today, just so the doc can see her eyes, and check on her progress! The vet is very pleased! she is doing great! He looked at her teeth again, and seems to think she might be closer to 4 months than five. She also got weighed, and only tops in at 3 pounds. Such a petite little thing!

I also talked to him about Bagheera, and trying to get her to gain weight, and he said it will be a losing battle till the babies are weaned. I just need to make sure that she continues to have access to food all day long, and that is high quality kitten food. at least I feel better, and in a few weeks hopefully we will begin to see her gain some weight!

So all in all, a good day at the vets!!

Poor Mocha...hopefully she is not one of those kits who ends up having to battle URIs all the time. Was she ever vaccinated for it? But then again seeing how bad it was when you brought her home I am really not surprised she has another. She certainly is a big girl. Vixen is 3 and weighs 12 lbs and she is a little fluffy(and I am not talking about her fur ). Hope that the nasty URI will go away quickly and she can get back to enjoying the fun life of being a pampered kitty.

You must be kidding about Autumn's weight. 3 lbs at 4 months....Frost isn't even 3 months yet and he is almost 4 lbs and Vega is almost 7 lbs at 5 months. She really is a tiny little thing.

I know the 'pain' of trying to get a skinny minnie nursing mom to gain weight. Bella was the same way (also a black shorthair BTW). She has not nursed the babies in about 6 weeks and she is still super skinny. She is still on high quality cat food (all my cats are) and she eats like a horse. Hopefully now she is spayed she will gain some weight and with some luck Bagheera will too.


Headbumpies too all the kits. And a tummy rub for poor Mocha. Vega sends a special kitty whisker kiss too.

Well the vet suspects that Mocha will probably always have to Battle the Occasional URI. But as long as we keep on it, and not let it get realy bad, she will bounce right back, and heal quickly. She has realy taken a disliking to her meds tho, I have never had such fight getting down meds, as I did today. For such a sick kitty, she sure does have alot of spunk left!!

Yeah Autumn is tiny!! That is why the vet re-checked her all over. He thinks that her bad nutrition, during her most important time of need, has made her such a petite kitty. but she is very healthy, he was very pleased with how she has come along. She has o go back next month, to get the last f her shots, as well as her spay. so hopefully we will see an increase in her weight. Hard to believe this little girl has only been here, just short of 3 weeks!!
