Yesterday I spent four hours at my vet waiting to see the doctor. Saki(Kt_luvs_kitties new baby) has been bloated, very gassy and having diarrhea since I got him last Sunday. I brought his stool sample in with me and had a fecal done. My vet gave him a very thorough exam( listened to his chest, took temp, weighed him, checked his ears and cleaned them out and checked him for ear mites etc) He weigh a big whopping 3.9 lbs. I had told Katie he weighed 3 to 4 lbs before his actual weight was taken. She didn't see any worms in his stool but wormed him just in case anyway( didn't charge me for that ) He didn't have ear mites but just the left over stuff in his ear from when he had ear mites, so she wants me to use tresaderm in his ears to make sure the ear mites don't come back. She wants him on Science diet w/d which I had put him on when I noticed his stool wasn't firm. She did a combo test on him to make sure he tested negative for FIV/FELK. It came out negative. She gave him an injection, which he screamed his little head off when she did it. She also put him on Albon. She feels that he he having a bout of irritable bowel and wants me to call her Tuesday with a report on how he is doing. If his stool doesn't improve he will be having a culture done which is $30.00 Katie. The vet visit cost $49.00. It would have been more if I hadn't already had the Albon and the Tresaderm that she put him on, so ya lucked out Katie! Saki is such a character! he loves to jump on your back and hang around on your shoulders. He jumped on the vets back and started rubbing all over her. He is a very good boy!
