Thanks everybody, and thanks for asking, Brian.

CJ feels just wonderful from what I can tell. His tooth doesn't seem to be bothering him because all his hair has grown back in on the sides of his face. I've looked at it - quickly since he's not thrilled about me looking - and it just looks like the gums are a little red, like he needs a cleaning so I'm not really sure if it really needs to come out or not. The reason I haven't had him back to the vet for it is because we're still trying to get the diarrhea under control. He was doing so well there for awhile, then it came back with a vengence. Now we're back to about 50/50 so I'm hoping he will continue to improve again.

But he acts just fine and is eating/drinking/peeing like a normal cat. Sometimes he just goes goofy! Last night he came tearing down the steps at high speed, leaps off the 3rd from bottom step, tears around the living room, leaps up on the back of a chair, jumps down an inch from Peanut's nose then went chasing after her as she ran away from the crazed cat that has invaded her quiet house! Then 30 seconds later he's laying in the middle of the living room, belly up - spent from all the chasing around.
