Well wishes please.

See Joe, you're just a mean mean man. J/K
Rayne is doing good back home. She's a country dog and would not thrive in an apartment atmosphere, heck, I don' thrive in an apartment atmosphere!

Marz is doing okay today. One of his medications is like a butterscotch gel and he HATES it, but I try to follow it up with his 'good tasting' medications. He's asleep on the couch again after his breakfast. No sun out today so he's not basking in front of the balcony.

Erik, no wounds and believe me I've been over him and the vet has been over him. Also with no fever it's not all that likely.

Thats great :cool:

best luck to him

Well, this evening for the first time he did a little bathing. Just his front paws but it's a serious improvement over no bathing!

I'm no vet of course but I'm wondering considering the kitten is fairly long haired if this could be a hairball? I know in other mammals that a hairball can cause some very odd symptoms if it gets lodged in there and doesn't either move along either out one end or the other.

I asked that and they said very very very very unlikely.

Also, he weighs 2.5 lbs. Not a lot for an almost four month old kitten.

Is he still having problems w/not eating?? (Or did I miss it somewhere....?:confused: )
Have U gotten some A/D food for him??? That way, when he DOES eat, he's getting a "bigger bang for the buck" than just regular cat food. It's specially designed/formulated for malnurished/ill/ *insert word here* cats that need more protein and calories than a regular food provides...And Pesky (who has a bad jaw) likes the taste better, plus the softer more liquidy texture.

I hope Marz is doing better!!!!! :hug:

Well he's never had problems eating, he just eats a little at a time.
He's been eating more lately and yes they did give me the A/D for him but when he finished those off I switched over to IAMS which he seems to enjoy just as much if not more.
He's been acting a bit more...normal lately but he still has me worried.

I am going to have him weighed next week but to me it seems as if he's already put on a tad bit of weight.

I haven't been around much but thought I'd drop in an update. He's doing better. Still not 100% but much better. I just hope he's completely out of the woods by the time we run out of his antibiotics.

Sorry I missed this until now, but looking over it, I'm glad to hear little Marz is doing better! He looks like quite the sweet little furball too, BTW!
