Well, he pulled it out and passed it on to this little girl! Her temp was down from 104.7 to 100.8! She ate all the food that the vet gave her to sample and for that reason he does not wish to give up on her yet. He said he wants to try her on some medication and special food and then if there is no change, he will opt for the more expensive bloodwork that would test for trich, salmonella, giardia, bartonella, pasturella and other bacterial infections. She got another panalog enema (poor kitty) and a bath of her back legs and now she is home and eating. Here’s hoping this new course of action will turn the tide on Google and her life subscrption won’t be cancelled!

She is so hot, lethargic and out of it this morning. It doesn’t look very good. I have an afternoon appointment with my vet and I don’t know if she will be coming back home with me. Although she is still so very hungry all the time- that is the only sign of life she shows at the moment. The smell around her is increasing and my heart breaks that I have no magic wand to wave and make her better. Right now, unless God pulls a miracle out of His pocket, it doesn’t look good for her.

I was able to do two things yesterday on behalf of Google. One was to talk to one of the best feline vets in the country and two I was able to get ahold of my feline specialist.

The consensus is that Google might have a severe case of colitis. complicated by giardia and or tritrichomonas. This would account for the thickening walls of the colon, the stench of the poop and the inflammation of the rectum. I was instructed to give a one-tenth of a cc of imodium to her- switch her diet to either lamb or chicken. Feed her small frequent meals- withdraw the dry food until I can buy some Purina OM Feline Formula and encourage her to drink more. But, I am not to relax as there is a slim possibility this little one could have FIP (because of the constant fever). I was told of a new product out there for vets that combines prebiotics, probiotics and enzymes although neither could remember the name of this product, only that it started with an “S”

One vet advised that if the poop continues to show up constantly that in her experience, the surgery would only give Google a short respite and then it would flare up again.

So today, my panic factor is lower. *G* I am breathing easier and I am cautiously optimistic. This morning- Google has no poop looping out of her rectum. She is oily as hell because of all the petroleum products gobbed all over her, but she is loving, and forgiving and eating her chicken and organic yogurt (though I had to mix the latter with Karo syrup). I did not withhold food on Google, though I did sleep through the night and not get up to check on her. Between her illness and Napoleon being adopted out- the last few days have been hard for me. I will miss my lap kitty very much, but he is living with a gentle, mellow older gentleman who must have been a hippie in his former life! I almost said the word “groovy” several times during our conversation about how to work with Napoleon and his trust issues. LOL Preston is a wonderful soul and it is a perfect match- now Napoleon has to figure that out on his own.

I stepped away from helping the black cat with the injury and I feel badly- but my hands and attention are focused on Google right now. If they can catch this blackness, I will take him but I can’t invest the time to go and try and trap him myself. One battle at a time is my motto-

Brought her downstairs at 7:00 this morning and put her in our large cage in the living room- 15 minutes later she thanked me by pooping IN the litterbox! YAY!!!

and not the search engine either! The small kitten that I have had only a few days is in a pretty bad way. After the vet visit, it was determined that her sphincter is open all the time. The poop is coming out formed and she has no clue that it is even back there! It is not diarrhea, it is formed poo. The vet at first thought it might be an ininception- but says the colon walls are way to thick to support that theory.

Bottom line is if it is still going on by Monday, I have to take her in again and make a major decision. Do I pay for an expensive surgery so they can try and find out what is going on- or do I put this cutie-patootie down?

The put panalog ointment where the sun don’t shine and coated her bum with desitin all the while, poop just keeps pouring out of her poor bum- poor kitty- and the stench is overwhelming.

But the bright spot is this is not a nasty contagious disease- the bad part is they don’t KNOW what this is having never encountered it before.

If you can help me raise the funds- please click the donate button. Prayers for Google as well, she is pretty miserable and yes, she has a voracious appetite still-

God bless all of you- I have to run to an adoption

Here she is just two days ago- (look at those sunburned ears!)

Don’t know if you can tell but this is after her panalog enema 🙁 She is so hungry, she is eating the plate!

Something is dreadfully wrong with Google. She has poop constantly appearing in her rectum (formed poop) I wipe it away and seconds later, it appears again. What is most disconcerting is that she doesn’t even seem to be aware that it is there. No attempt to use the litter pan, no straining to get the rest of it out- it just started this evening. I will be taking her in tomorrow and postphoning the adoption visit, the trapping session and probably Pearl’s spay so I can accomodate her. I am hoping it is just the medication that they gave her- but I have never encountered this before. Diarrhea yes, but not formed stool that just keeps leaking out. If anyone has, please speak up and let me know what this might be?

Taking Google to the vet in about 20 minutes. Don’t know if this malabsorption syndrome, spastic colon or worse? Praying it won’t be worse.

I just got a call about an older black cat that has been being befriended by some medical workers (they feed him every morning and night outside their building) This morning, he showed up with what they think is a broken leg. 🙁 They said he is swollen from his front shoulder to his front paw. They are going to bring him to me tomorrow morning (if he allows them to catch him) Only one nurse is able to even get her hands on him and she isn’t working this week. He is pitch black and apparently quite old. Here’s hoping they can catch him, if not, one of the girls will be here tomorrow to borrow a trap. I can’t go to them because Mike has doctor appointments and I have adoption calls to make. I do hope they catch this kitty- he has to be in such pain.

Please Vote! Thank you!

This photo just sent of sweet Toad and Willow in their new home. I am relieved to see them looking relaxed and contented. These were two kittens that it was hard to let go of

The new kitty went in today to be checked over. Negative on the nasties, she has a high fever and sunburned ears, an URI and is slightly anemic. I have panacur to give her for five days, she is on amoxy and I am to give her an iron supplement which will probably turn out to be just cooked calf’s liver because it is so much easier to feed her then to pill her. On the grocery side she is 3 pounds underweight and is about 3.5 months old. We decided to call her Google because she is so user-friendly!

Here she is-
