Jun. 21st, 2010 07:43 pmSigh, one of the new kittens - Tony (short for Mark Anthony) - is sick already. Since yesterday he won't feed, barely drink, pukes all the time and is generally pretty listless. Took him to the vet today who gave him broadband antibiotics, something to settle his tummy and two more shots of electrolytes because the poor little guy was so dehydrated.
He is sleeping in his basket now. I just hope he will drink a bit of water on his own later.
I have a follow-up scheduled with the vet tomorrow. The big problem is of course that we don't know the cause. Could have been something he ate, an infection or any number of things. Not sure about infection, though, because, fortunately, his brother kitten is fine, alternating between bouncing aroun and cuddling with his sick companion.
Damn, it's just been one week. Hopefully, he'll recover. He is such a sweet little guy and the cuddliest kitten I've ever met. He will regularly crawl very, very close (the crook of my neck, my hand, my lap) and rub his soft fur on my skin, demanding to be petted. Don't wanna lose him so soon. :(
