Oh nice! My friend who is getting the boy twin will be returning to St. PeteAh, east coast. I'm on the west coast of the state.
I'll talk to my SO, maybe we can. I'm just not really sure how crazy it'll be the next few days. I want to start as early as possible, but also don't want to overwhelm him (kitten and SO) since we will be moving and such.I wish you could brace for a couple hours a day before next week.
Again, I recommend sports tape and popsicle sticks cut to fit. You may want to re-read my earlier posts about what to do.
I'm in St. Pete!
We've been giving him kitten dry food, should we get wet food, or add water to the dry food and the oil?Add drops of olive oil to his wet food to help soften his poops.
You can also buy glycerin suppositories, shave off a tiny sliver, and insert it. This is safer and more effective than using a cotton swab.
Does Legs try to walk, or is he still pulling himself around?
Good you are getting settled! Moving is hard work!
We got the popsicle sticks, so we are going to attempt to brace him tonight. Also got some pumpkin puree to try and help with the constipation.Yes, he needs wet food. This may be part of the reason why he is constipated.
It sounds like his legs are ready for more stimulation, and for bracing a couple hours a day for walking.
Yeah we will warm them up.You need to warm his legs up first. You need to cut them to size so they give support, but do not impede the joints from bending.
Did you get sports tape?
I would only do 1-2 hours to start. See how he does first.
Did you get wet food?
We are currently at the vet, and he's getting a fecal exam, for his constipation.Sports tape sounds the same as the vet wrap - breathable, does not stick to the fur, can be reused.
Please do not deny the kitten dry food if that is all you have.
Let us know when you've made some progress here.
He had FIP and it was fluid that was built up in his abdomen. There was nothing we couldve done so we let him go.Oh no! What did the vet say?
