Both my fosters seem to have really dodgy bellies :( 2 days in a row i've found liquid poops in the tray, and the whole room stinking :sick: i don't think their foods been changed as i'm feeding them the stuff that was sent down with them, (dry burns and felix pouches) so could it be the stress of moving? Have never had any problems in that department with my two so not sure what to do really. :scared: Should i contact the rescue to let them know and see what they advise d'you think? I think this is probably causing the matts too as i noticed a minute ago that Bella has pooey leg fur after her latest deposit. :doh: I'd give them some chicken/rice but am veggie so have nothing like that in the house. Am tempted to just give them their dry food for a few days to see if that settles it down a bit?
-
Poor little loves, it could be the stress yes, it does often happen. I would ring the rescue though and tell them to double check everything and take their advice.
-
Thanks, have sent an email, i'm sure they'll think i'm being a paranoid first time foster mummy but better to be safe than sorry i s'pose.
Better go and deal with the very smelly tray.... :sick:
-
I don't think they will think that Beth :hug: I would do that, let us know how you get on
-
Will do. :) Have just spent ages disinfecting everything in sight :innocent: and managed to brush the dried poop off of Bella's trousers. 8) Talk about being thrown in at the deep end with fostering, tis not a glamorous job... :doh: :evillaugh:
-
shame it's all part of the job :evillaugh: but I'm sure they'll appreciate it very much :Luv2:
-
I dont rate burns, too much grain for me, and this can often cause diarrhoea. Are they pigging out? Worming upto date?
If you could get some chicken or white fish in it would help to work out if its food or something else
-
Think they were wormed about a week ago, they don't seem to be pigging out, more grazing on their kibble. Have found a slightly more solid poop today though, so fingers crossed it's improving. :) Spoke to the rescue yesterday and they also said it could be stress from moving and to just let them know if it doesn't get better.
-
Fingers crossed Beth xx

Oh Dear... Georgia is now sneezing green snot :shocked: :( The rescue are sending me some anti b's for them, but am a little concerned for my girls tbh :scared: they're obviously in a separate room and am cleaning obsessively (a rarity for me :-[) but my girls can still sniff under the door etc. :shify: Am hoping it's just another symptom of the shock of being moved about so much but i am worried... :scared:
-
I would get them to the vets asap if I were you Beth.
-
runny poos and green snot
you know, that would make an excellent title for the memoirs of a cat fosterer ;D
-
How are they today Beth?
-
Still snotty, tis only Georgia with the snotty nose at the moment, can hear it when she breathes, she sounds snuffly, whereas Bella is fine so far. No anti-b's here yet so it'll be tuesday now :doh: though if i'm at all worried about either of them i'll contact the rescue and arrange to take them to the vet. Not too worried now, as Georgia doesn't actually seem ill iykwim, still happy to play fight with her sis and still bright in herself. :) No poos yet today so hopefully that end is improving too...
-
Do you have seperate clothes? Flu can be spread on clothing and hands as well as in the air. Little bottles of hand sanitizer are handy for getting to a sink cleanly if you cant scrub up in the room.
I hope they pick up soon
-
Poor things :( hope that they are starting to pick up now :hug:
-
s'cuse my excitement, but WE HAVE A SOLID POOOOOOOO!!! ;D :rofl:
-
Yippee!!! hopefully they are getting better :)
