Oh Geez.. Do I really need another kitty? Updated with new pics!

I have been removing the poop immediately after he 'goes'. I just scoop out a huge spot around it to make sure I got it all. I also have to wash his rear.. much to his dismay but his poop is sloppy. I also bleached his food and water bowls as well as the litter tray. Plus I bleached the kitchen floor.

I asked the vet yesterday about Bubba and Lola since they have had contact with him before I knew about the coccidia. He said it mainly effects young animals and those with a weak immune system. So they should be fine.. but of course I'm keeping them away from his litter and their contact with the kitten is now limited to a passing sniff.

On the up side the little guy is feeling a bit better
today. He was purring up a storm and looking for attention. Plus he ate some canned food on his own this morning. He's still sneezing a bit with a drippy nose. The tech said it sounds like a bit of an allergic reaction to the Albon but she was going to check with the vet and let me know what he says but in the meantime not to stop the meds. So I gave him his second dose this morning on schedule. He can breathe fine and he doesn't sound congested so maybe she's right?

I hope the albon works. He's still pretty lethargic and sleeping quite a bit. He worries me alot, I got up a couple times during the night to check on him. During the day he's seeking out warm spots, either us or the warm air blowing out the bottom of the fridge. Just looking at him I can tell he's miserable.

LMAO Ali, those names are hilarious but they would fit him. Boss expecially since he is bossy and when he doesn't want to be disturbed he screams his fool head off. LOL If he's sleeping on you and you move him he'll bellow and go right back to the spot he was. haahah

An update on the sneezing and nose dripping. I think he does have a respiratory infection. The discharge was clear earlier but now it's varying from clear to green tinged. GAH My vet is already closed but they are open tomorrow so I'll give them a call in the morning. His chest still doesn't sound congested though. I still think it's odd that the first dose of Albon seemed to start it all. Probably coincidence. 

He won't eat his dry food, only canned and he's picking at it but that's better than yesterday.

I've had no internet since Saturday.

Onto the kitty update... Besides the Coccidia he does have a URI and was given Clavamox. By Sunday afternoon he was so stuffed up he was breathing out his mouth and both eyes were running. The clavamox helped with the bacterial aspect of the infection it's the viral part that's hammering the little guy. He's been at the vet's since Monday since he's so tiny and his immune system's pretty much non existant so the possibility of him developing pneumonia is high. So far it's not in his chest.. and I'm hoping it stays that way. *knock on wood*

I'm also having some issues with the humane society. The foster mom has asked me more times that I can count "you know you can return him and they will give you your money back". I haven't mentioned money to her at all. They are almost making me feel like I'm not doing enough. My vet said that because it's viral it needs to work it's way out on it's own. What else could I do?

Plus she also said something about my cats making him sick.. excuse me! Then 2 seconds later says that she's 99.9% sure that my cats didn't make him sick but someone else mentioned it. WTF? God I'll take stool samples from my cats in if they will just shutup!.. GAH

She calls me daily to ask me if I know anything more from the vet. She even tried to call my vet for info and wanted me to arrange that the kitten stays with her at night.. Ummm no, nice try.

They will not get the kitten back, over my dead body... I've had enough.. Coccidia does not appear in 2 days plus he had diarrhea when she brought him to me that was never checked. URI's don't just appear either. Neither of my cats are sick.. nor have they ever had those.

I think they are ticked because I got them banned from the pet store. All I did was call the store to let the owner know that he has Coccidia and that the 3 kittens that he was with will need to be checked. The owner was fuming.. but it's not the first time she's had issue with ill kittens.

So yeah. This is turning into quite the drama.

I'm calling the vet for an update at 3:30 so I'll let you all know how he is doing. As of this morning he was still the same.
