an update --->

we went back to vets on monday and he was given another anti-inflam injection (he doesn't even flinch anymore

)

i started his anti-bi's on sunday which he is getting twice a day, and we haven't had any problems since.

we just need to keep an extra close eye for any recurring symptoms

thanks again guys

Sending hugs and headbutts from all the gang to Harry, especially from Tarka, who says he knows just what it is like to have dicky tummy.

Sarah (seldom_use) · « **Reply #47 on:** December 14, 2007, 11:52:19 AM »

thanks everyone

today harry is back to usual, the anti inflammatory should have worn off by monday, so it will likely re-occur then the vet said. he has given him some panacure (a tiny dose bc he's only 400g

) for a rare type of parasite which occurs in puppies bowels sometimes.. begins with a P i think? so just incase it is that, he has panacure. he has anti-biotics to start on sunday morning to try treat whatever it is. vet says it could be a form of cat flu which has left a viral infection.

back to the vets monday morning with the little babe for another check and the next step.. i think we're finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel now though

i'll keep you all updated

harry sends lots of cuddles and kisses to you all

Poor baby Harry, really hope the vets can make him better

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #43 on:** December 13, 2007, 21:51:14 PM »

Ah bless hope he is feeling better

Sarah (seldom_use) · « **Reply #42 on:** December 13, 2007, 21:49:10 PM »

uh what a night

well.. it was basically the same as what happened on monday, vet now thinks it may be a kidney/bowel/liver problem/infection. he was feeling his stomach etc and says his kidney feels rather enlarged

he was given another anti inflammatory injec and another pain killer injec, and we're back tomorrow morning to see whats next. he seems fine again now which is great but i'm starting to notice a pattern and am wondering how long these injections last for and if thats them just wearing off when he takes a turn again?

if he's ok tomorrow, it's a course of anti-bi's, if not x-rays. i'm trying to keep him hydrated bc of the fluids he's lost earlier, vet was questioning keeping him in and putting him on fluids overnight but we're going to keep him at home and give him some kind of glucose mix through syringe, (he's taking it well so far

)

hopefully we'll find out for sure soon bc the little angel is becoming terrified of the vets

Sarah (seldom_use) · « **Reply #39 on:** December 13, 2007, 16:34:20 PM »

hes foaming at the mouth again exact same as othr day, off to vets x

sheryl · « **Reply #38 on:** December 13, 2007, 16:32:41 PM »

Bless his little heart, because he is so young Sarah I would pop him to the vets incase he has swallowed something or has an inflamed Tummy.

Sending positive vibes for his speedy recovery - let us know how he gets on xxx

Sarah (seldom_use) · « **Reply #37 on:** December 13, 2007, 16:23:28 PM »

the little one seems poorly again

he just had a bit of diarrhea, and was squeaking loudly as if he was in pain during it. there was no blood in it, just a bit runny. then after it he was wretching and brought up some milk and food.

he's isn't foaming at the mouth again yet but everytime i touch him he squeaks, as if he just wants to be left alone.

i've noticed he's drank quite a lot of water today on top of wet food and 30ml milk..

i don't know whether to hold off vets till tomorrow morning and check his next poo or what, i'm going to phone and ask them anyways.

again, any advice appreciated guys

hi everyone

just to let you know the little one was back at the vets today and they've said he seems absolutely fine

he woke up today and had some kitten food, (scoffed it,) then an hour ago he took about 30ml of milk

he's so much brighter and active, you would never have known he had been poorly

little

sheryl · « **Reply #30 on:** December 11, 2007, 14:16:35 PM »

He is gorgeous and Im not surprised you are keeping him, I dont htink charlie is going to let him go anywhere anyway

I said that 3 is a good number when we had 3 now weve got 6 so I have to say that 7 is a good number

Glad to hear that he is feeling better xx

i bet you could you know lulu and riley don't really need new gold, diamond encrusted collers this christmas

Really wish I could but it would stretch me too far at the moment

Funny you should say about the collars, tonight I put my foot down and the boys both have their £1.99 Pets at Home (breakaway) collars on - they've been on well over 3 hours which is a world record for them both

we weren't sure about keeping him helen, but john absolutely loves him as well, and 3's a good number for kittys you know

Funny you should say that, I keep calling Riley 'Mummy's biggest boy' and Lu 'Mummy's littlest boy' like there is something inbetween not just 'big boy' and 'little boy'. Really can't afford a third (or fourth) at the moment though

oh and btw - as far as i know mum cat will be spayed

we weren't sure about keeping him helen, but john absolutely loves him as well, and 3's a good number for kittys you know

you would never believe the little one is running about chasing charlie!

my mum was winding me up saying if this is what i'm like with a kitten what will i be like with a baby

i dread to think

At that age they can try and vomit worms.

lesley - thats interesting, i didn't know that. he was wormed half a milbemax last wednesday.

blackcat · « **Reply #19 on:** December 10, 2007, 21:24:23 PM »

oh yes, of course, sorry - how soon we forget other people's losses - sorry Sarah

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #18 on:** December 10, 2007, 21:24:20 PM »

Poor baby, he's landed on his paws with you though

Now you've let the cat out of the bag so to speak we expect regular updates and pics

Sarah (seldom_use) · « **Reply #17 on:** December 10, 2007, 21:22:07 PM »

jo - probably a mix of hormones and bc of what happened to missy

helen - he has no siblings, was a little orphan, the owners were going to put him out in the street with the mum cat (who was attacking him)

he's an absolute sweetheart.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #16 on:** December 10, 2007, 21:17:06 PM »

Phew, so glad he's OK

Ooh, ooh, ooh - I want him

Has he got any brothers or sisters?

blackcat · « **Reply #15 on:** December 10, 2007, 21:14:12 PM »

what an adorable face!!

Sure you're not just getting a little hormonal honey?

Sarah (seldom_use) · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2007, 21:12:44 PM »

this is the wee one, he's got very similar markings and colouring to charlie, he's named harry

jo thanks, i'll maybe try a feed during the night then bc he's a good wee eater, loves his milk

we're going back to the vet tomorrow anyway to see how he is. i just started thinking the worst case scenario straight away, get myself in such a panic

blackcat · « **Reply #13 on:** December 10, 2007, 21:04:47 PM »

if there is no sign of grogginess, I would feed no earlier than five hours after the anaesthetic. If he is still groggy then leave it a little longer.

Sarah (seldom_use) · « **Reply #12 on:** December 10, 2007, 21:00:09 PM »

wellll...

was in vet an hour and 40 mins

they gave him a local ana to get a look down his throat but didn't see anything..

vet seems to think he's ate something which has got lodged in his wee throat.

he was given an injection of some kind of painkiller and i was told to observe him over night, but he's perking up already

took him to my mums there and he got a good cuddle off her while i sat there in floods of tears

i've took him home again, i think we're going to keep this little one, he's got a special place in my heart and charlie and tilly adore him

he's snuggled into my neck now, staring at me with his big eyes..

thanks so much for all your advice everyone, don't know what i'd do without you lot

any advice on feeding tonight after anaesthetic? xxx

LesleyW · « **Reply #11 on:** December 10, 2007, 20:40:07 PM »

Hope he is okay - has he been wormed yet? At that age they can try and vomit worms.
