For verily this sucketh mightily

I took the kittens in for a vet check today. Grey and white kitten has not gained any weight and was given sub-cutaneous fluids. We also have a parasite problem. The sample I took in tested positive for coccidia so they've been treated for that. I also have to give them dewormer once daily for the next week which pretty much rules out SkiBurn for me. The thing that is going to be hardest is that I have to isolate them from the bengals and Jane until we get a negative retest. In practice that means keeping the kittens in the office and the others out. Jane regards the office as pretty much her territory and is already kicking up a fuss because I won't let her in. O the joys of catparenthood.

I have a working scale and I think he's gained a bit of weight. Very wet stools though. If I see any sign of distress I'll have him back into the vet.

and the wet stools are part of the reason why I'm reluctant to give him KMR
