Poor Storm. Feel better soon sweetie pie.

Poor Storm! Toothaches are no fun. I'm sure he'll feel much better after his dental work is done.

Prayers for sweet Storm!

Ouch! Poor li'l guy. The teeth cleaning will get him all fixed up, hopefully, and he'll be back to normal in no time.

Ugh! Poor Storm..I hope they are able to fix you all up on Monday...Prayers coming from us!!

I had to have one of Tuckers teeth removed during his lastest cleaning and when I brought him home his eye on the side of the extraction was really watering??? I don't know if that is a response to pain or not? But it concerned me greatly...Are they able to give him something for the discomfort?

Poor Storm I just hope it all goes away soon!! Poor guy!

Poor baby! I hope the vet makes him all better very quickly!

Thanks everyone. I've been working very long hours this week and we supposedly aren't even busy. It's mainly due to some problems we've been trying to iron out and now my department has to do things differently which also takes more time. My boss is out of town and he sure won't like this.

Any way, when I got home one of my cats had thrown up some brown liquid like they do when they have a hairball. I didn't see any hairballs though. I don't know if it was Storm or not. He's still sneezing and sniffling and his left eye waters a lot. His right eye just has some dried up eye crusties in it.

As much as I like long weekends, Monday can't come soon enough. He's still eating so I'm glad that he has a good appetite. Yes, my vets will do blood work and then determine which kind of anesthesia to use on him. I'm sure that he'll be sent home with pain meds or antibiotics if needed.

I have to drop him off between 7-8am and he can't have anything to eat after midnight the night before. They'll call me later in the afternoon to let me know how he's doing and when I can pick him up. I'll update you as soon as I can. Thanks again.

Poor Storm. I hope that the cleaning will help get rid of all the other symptoms.

Mollie Rose (RB) had terrible allergies which cause her nose and eyes to run and relentless sneezing. She was diagnosed with kitty asthma and allergies. I kept her comfortable with Chlortrimeton. God I miss her!!

Hi everyone. My Storm was doing well but now he's having some problems. I think that the antibiotics really messed up his good bacteria so now he has very bad diarrhea. He's the kind of cat that will always show me when something is wrong and he sure did this time. After I fed my cats earlier this morning, I went back to bed. Later Storm jumped up on my bed and I noticed that he smelled bad. He sat down on my sheets and left a big brown mark behind. His back end was covered in diarrhea. I cleaned him up and then I remembered that I still have some FortiFlora left so I gave him a packet of it and he loved it. Now he seems extra tired and he's resting.

When I got home last night, one of my cats had thrown up more liquid piles and now I suspect that it's Storm. Storm didn't eat well last night or this morning so I know that his tummy is bothering him. I e-mailed my vet about this and told her that I'd be picking up some more FortiFlora today because I only have 1 weeks worth left. I sure hope that this will be the solution to help Storm get back to normal again. Please send some good vibes his way. Thanks.

I was just about to suggest Forti Flora when you posted about it. That always helped my RB Puddy. Sure hope that this straightens things out for Storm now. You both need a break.
