    cassiesmom - I left a message for the vet tech last night; they go in for their shots tomorrow, and will ask again. Will take a sample in. They don't seem to be pooping as much as they were.

    Here are pics from today...very few, as they were ACTIVE! I was hoping to get snuggly lap pics!

    Giz, the baddest and bravest:


    Cirrus:


    Amy, ready to pounce:


    Will try to get more later... lol

    I took them in their carrier to the living room. Oscar went and hid behind the couch.

    Cole went to the carrier and sniffed the 3 eager noses that were sniffing back. He did this a couple of times then walked a few feet away and just sat, looking at the carrier. No hissing or growling on either part.

    I consoled Oscar (WIMP!), and took one kitten out - Giz, of course!

    She went on her merry way, finding one scratching post - she and Cole had a good long nose sniff...no sound or puffing of fur from Cole. Giz toddled to the other side of the living room, tried out the base of the scratching tree, then wandered over to the lazyboy chair, where Oscar was crouched. When she finally decided to notice him , there was another nose-sniff. Oscar gave a great big hiss, but no other noise. Giz was completely unfazed by this!

    Because Oscar started life as a feral cat, I keep an especially close eye on him and the kitten.

    I put Giz back in the carrier and ported the three of them back to their room. Out scooted Oscar - he had been in there smelling everything.

    That's the latest excitement...Giz loves cuddles the most and YELLS for them in her kitten voice!

    Turned out that they were not getting shots this am...it was their deworming.

    I had left a message for Liz, the vet tech, about the continued diarrhea even after 5 days of Metrodinazole. She had a new med for me - Clavaseptin.

    The vet there told me that the three I have came in with another three smaller kittens (different litter, but all came together). The smaller ones had the diarrhea, were losing weight and going downhill fast - the Clavaseptin cleared them up! Obviously there could be an infection as well as parasites in these wittle ones.

    Giz has to get her bum washed as she has an inflammation...they gave me ointment too. She was NOT happy about that! I also got warm soapy water and vinegar and washed the floor, carrier, litter tray - it's all clean. Hopefully the poops will be normal soon.

    However, they are happy and playful and eat like little piggies. I was in there a bit ago, sitting on the edge of the tub, and both Amy and Giz had to climb up to my lap. AAK! And no camera nearby!

    Just before Giz jumped up, a pool of brownish water left her and landed on the floor. Maybe it was from the bath, or an infection started to let go?


    Everything is nice and clean now, and I look forward to reporting healthy kittens and providing more pics!

    Gayle, there are more great Giz faces here, so I think you're doomed! lol

    After they got the meds this morning, I came back and scrubbed everything (vinegar in mildly soapy hot water dissolves the crazy glue poo very nicely!). Washed bedding and towels, floor, box, carrier, everything. Then it was pic time!

    Some pics were taken without flash...so kitties look a bit yellower.

    Cirrus decided the blankie fresh and warm from the dryer was the place to be!





    Then Amy climbed onto my lap.


    Giz joined her!


    Here are all the lap shots - notice where Giz lay criss-crossed on Amy's back.









    ...more...
