Just looked it up .
He is on antibiotics and had a lot to deal with this week.
He had his first vaccine on Tuesday and the rescue had been feeding him senior James well beloved , very smelly fish flavour.
As he is only about three years old , I have put him on RC sensible.
So, antibiotics, vaccine and change of diet is a lot to contend with in a  few days .
Will give him till Monday and see how he is then and only see my vet not the locum one !

To be honest I am not sure as I realise people don't always tell the truth!

He uses the litter tray perfectly fine and not had any problems , but he has the runs very bad !
Had him to the vets for anti diarrhoea injection , but still got it bad.
Had to bath him down again this morning as he was so messed up.
Spoke to vet and he also on Stomorgyll and have to starve him till tomorrow lunchtime, feel awful, doing this , but need to get his tummy right .
Poor boy and he is so affectionate   :'(
Hope that's all that wrong  :scared:
Going to book him in for blood tests when he is better .

Aaw, the poor fella!  :hug: at least he is in safe hands now.

Was he clipped when he was straying, or had the rescue clipped him???

Maybe something at the shelter was upsetting him so he didn't use the tray...

More pics please!!!!

What a little star!  I bet his going to be a real cuddle monster, even before his sorted out completely.  Knowing cat's I'm not surprised he wasn't using the litter tray, he must have felt awful with the dirt, grease, and the other bits going on.  Now his feeling better his showing by the litter tray.

I can understand the rescue saying he wasn't rehomeable but another rescue I know just advertised one of their cats was incontinent and she was rehomed.  I feel if you actually tell people then they do come forward.

Aw Gill.  Poor little lad.  Sounds like he's had a very rough time of it, but also sounds like he knows instinctively you have his best interests at heart.    May his recovery continue apace, and may he settle in well with the others.   He could be just what you need to bring a much deserved smile back to your heart.  :hug:

Got contacted that this Persian had been straying , but has been totally clipped except his head tail and legs!
He then got taken yo a shelter where he was neutered and put in a pen.
I was contacted on Saturday by the shelter which happened to be the one Ginny B came from.
She said did I know anyone else that had Persians as this one wouldn't use litter tray . She said she had tried everything, feliway , using two trays and different litters.
He was now classed as unhomeable !
Therefore a decision was being made he would be pts if it carried on .
So, what could I do ?
I just happened to be going that way on Tuesday and told her I would take him.
Got home Tuesday night and put him in a prepared pen, the only room I had was my porch !!
Fully expected to get up to wee and poo everywhere , No ! He had used the litter tray fine.
He was so unbelievably filthy that when you stroked him your hands were brown and greasy .
This boy is so affectionate its unreal.
Since only yesterday , he has had his nails clipped , fur what bit he had was knotty , so combed through .
Today he has had his ears, eyes cleaned and a good bath and he has not batted an eyelid .
He has been to,the vets tonight as he has bad runs due to being fed I think the wrong food, James wellbelovd senior fish .
He is approx 3 years old !
He has had his first vaccine and still as good as gold .
He is the most lovely natured and rolls for tummy rubs .
Mary will,post before pictures for me as I can't resize from ipad .
I think he will be a blue Persian when his coat grows fully .
I just want to cuddle him all day , but can't meet the others till second vaccine and full,bloods done .
