I am so glad that the boys seem to be on the mend x

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #38 on:** October 07, 2010, 17:09:49 PM »

Both boys are bright and happy - eating, drinking, weeing but.... no poos from either of them coming up to 48 hours now

I guess the diarrhoea had cleaned them out, they've only eaten chicken breast since they came back from the vets so maybe super quality protein takes longer to pass through?!

How are they Helen? Esp Lucas who seems to have had it worse?

Janeyk · « **Reply #36 on:** October 07, 2010, 08:00:45 AM »

Glad to hear that things are still ok, fingers crossed that's it gone now xx

Awww poor kitties

Glad the initial devastation seems to be over and I hope they are both well on the road to recovery, whatever the cause xx

everyone

Thankfully I haven't woken up to any more devastation, they were locked in the living room overnight with the trays and was going to do the same for today but I had visions of Riley ripping the carpet up at the door if he knew I was upstairs and he wasn't allowed to sleep on his Mum's bed so relented and just shut off the spare room. No poos, runny or otherwise to report

Fingers crossed the jabs and chicken will help and you won't wake up to any problems. If it appears they are going to take a couple of days to settle down, it might be worth having a couple of litter trays around the house in the hope that they can make it there in time!

Great minds think alike, the spare room where the trays normally are is on lockdown and have moved one tray to the living room and one to the landing for maximum spread. They're both such good boys with the trays so it must have been horrible for poor Lu to have had to 'let it all out' where he stood and then have it trailing out of him as he ran away

Posted on your other thread about the plastic Helen then spotted this one. Sending lots of love to those two lovely boys and hope they feel much better very soon and it's just a bug. Hope you get your carpet sorted too

Hope the gorgeous duo are feeling better today xxxxx

Sending get well soon vibes to the lovely boys esp Lucas

I am just about to start a thorough deep clean of back bedroom where Groucho decided to go skiing ALL around the wooden floor last night after a bout of diarrhoea (caused I'm sure from OH feeding him the wrong dry food yesterday am) I therefore know how you're feeling about the clean up. Suppose wooden floor easier to clean but I couldn't sleep all night worrying that Groucho might have got splinters in his nether regions as he howled twice

Seems 100% today and hope you can say likewise about the boys toot sweet Helen

Oh no poor boys!

It was bad enough with Rossi's sick last week, thankfully he didn't get diarrhoea as well

Hope they are both feeling better very soon. I wonder if cats are prone to seasonal bugs the same way as humans are? Lu and Riley's illness sounds very similar to Rossi's.

That 'Scene of devastation' sounds soooo familiar to when I was having problems with Mango if you may remember. Hope Lukey and Riley feel better soon

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #24 on:** October 06, 2010, 08:40:54 AM »

everyone

They're both quite bright this morning, they've both eaten some chicken and no runny deposits in the tray (or elsewhere!) but I think that's cos they cleaned themselves all out of poo yesterday

I'm on nights so off to bed in a minute so fingers crossed I don't wake up to the scene of devastation that I was met with yesterday

Oh Helen, poor you and the boys. Selfishly I feel slightly better about the wee puddles Marble has left me...she is also in the spare bedroom and is going to the vets on Thursday.

I hope both their tummies settle down now and it was just a little upset. Also hope your carpet is ok...I feel your pain...hugs xx

Big head nudges and snuggles to poor Lukey and Riley off my Cooper & Peanut.. Hope they feel better soon

Fire Fox · « **Reply #17 on:** October 05, 2010, 22:51:18 PM »

Oh dear, I imagine all three of you are stressed out.

If the vet wants poop samples I am assuming they will be able to narrow down the cause of the diarrhoea, should be ammo for the insurers? Do you have any LactoB or similar in stock?

Tan · « **Reply #16 on:** October 05, 2010, 21:58:36 PM »

Hope the lads will feel better very soon hun

Did they eat the chicken?

Oh no! Hope they get better soon

I use the foamy carpet sprays to get rid of pet stains here, Vanish or carpet 1001 stuff

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2010, 20:32:51 PM »

everyone, they're both bright in themselves and are more annoyed than anything else at being locked out of the bedrooms for damage limitation purposes!

I've just cooked them some chicken breast for dinner so hopefully they'll eat OK as that was the main problem last time they were poorly.

Quote from: Janeyk on October 05, 2010, 19:44:35 PM

Poor boys, I hope they're much better soon

wonder if it's what Riley had before that's not cleared up proper?

That's what I'm leaning towards now as well, especially as Lu had a temperature. I bet the insurance compnay won't think of it like that though and if I do have to claim for this lot of visits and future tests I bet they'll say it's two separate conditions

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #1 on:** October 05, 2010, 19:15:38 PM »

Friday night I caught Riley munching on a pastic tag, I can only presume that he had eaten a long strip of plastic as it was nowhere to be seen and he was caught red-handed munching on the tag. He seemed completely normal bouncing around, cuddling, eating, drinking, pooing etc I rang the vets and they said if it hadn't passed by Monday to take him in, rang on Monday and they said as he was fine in himself to leave it til Wednesday.

Anyway, this morning he had diarrhoea so I booked an appointment for tomorrow. Lucas has been absolutely fine throughout the last few days although there was a tiny sneaking suspicion that he might have munched on the plastic and Riley was just finishing his leftovers.

Fast forward to this afternoon and poor Lu was sick on my bedroom carpet, I cleaned it up and a few minutes later he came back into my bedroom and did the biggest wee I have ever seen right in front of me on the carpet

He then ran away with diarrhoea tumbling out of him so it was all over my bedroom, the landing, the stairs. I locked him in the front room while I rang the vets and he did more puddles of diarrhoea in the living room

Took them both to the vets and the vet said Lu had a temperature so he has had antibiotics and an enti-emetic to stop him feelling sick. Riley's temp was fine but as there was a tiny bit of blood in his diarrhoea he has had an anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic jab. The vet wasn't sure if the plastic was a red herring as I showed him an identical thing to the one that was eaten and he said it was very felxible and unlikely to cause a problem. I have to collect poo samples over the next few days in case they don't improve, ordinarily I would have been horrified by the thought of that but as I have been dissecting poos for signs of yellow plastic over the last 4 days that's nothing to a hardened poo dissector

Please send positive vibes for both my boys to get better, I hate seeing them poorly and my carpet is taking a bashing too!
