Apollo's Been Having the Diarrhea POOP IS FINALLY FIRM FOR NOW! :)

[Moesha]

I hope that you get some comfort from the vet call. Aroara got her name because she could be going a million miles a minute and then fall deep asleep in an instant. She was named after the Disney princess Sleeping Beauty. Her real name is Aurora. I changed the spelling because she is a cat and cats ROAR.

I'm afraid that you are going to worry with every thing Apollo does until you get that other test done. I know your finances are extremely tight right now, but is there really anything else that can be done without that test? Maybe you should just tell them to go ahead and do that so you can have some peace of mind. Hope Apollo feels better soon.

I'm sorry to hear that he's still not doing well. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

I concur w/Moesha on this one. You'll have no peace of mind until you get that test done. Finances are tight, I know, but perhaps your vet will allow credit to go along w/what you already owe. Keep the faythe.

Sadly the vet didn't return my call last night. I called again this morning and they said they will the other vet return my call because they are booked today but they will see what she has to say. Originally she is the one that suggested that we do that test and then the last time we took Apollo in the other vet said just to see if we can wait it out and gave him that med to take twice a day which I think has made his poo more liquid than helping him.

I know kittens get the poo and have troubles but along with him sleeping a lot yesterday just didn't seem like him.

I know cats sleep a lot but he really really sleeps and it's been a while since we've had a baby in the house but the other cats we got when they were 6 months or so were just crazy for a while.

I'm hoping the vet will call before my lunch time and if not I'll call and give them my cell phone.

Thanks,
Melissa

Prayers and a candle (http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...ng&cid=9729486) for Apollo, that this diarrhea problem is soon cleared up!

Thanks for candle.

Apollo was very sleepy yesterday, he did eat though so that's always a plus. He went to the bathroom last night and there was no blood in his stool so I'm very happy about that.

I contacted my old vet that I used to take Claudia and Ashley when I only had 3 cats and I could afford them and I told him about my little guy Apollo. I told him my husband wasn't working at the moment so we don't have a lot of extra cash and he told me to fax over the information on Apollo and he'd be glad to take a look at the results and give us his thoughts.

He also mentioned that most vets don't run a 13 panel test they only run a 6 panel test.

I don't know if my vet ever runs a 13 panel test or if it's more expensive but I think I would of liked to have been given the option if that was the case.

Anyway, I'll be getting's Apollo's blood test results today at 12 so after that I will fax over everything on Apollo to my old vet and see what he has to say.

Well last night Apollo went poo, he always does it when I'm home or around and his poo was firming up. It actually was coming out kinda formed!

I was so excited.

Then this morning I watched him and he was in the poo box and it was runny again.

I'm still worried about my little boy.

Keep the prays coming,
