That's a good idea, I'm sure we could get in touch with him because he was in (the extended) family. My Mom did mention that "he said we would like this new vet" who is taking over but it sounded like more of a consolation effort rather than a heartfelt opinion. I don't think he knew her very...

Maybe I'm just the crazy one but I try to give everyone a chance and these should be the people who have my utmost respect.. I will not just look the other way when my babies' liveliness is at stake.

When I first went to meet her and her teenage aged assistant, I got the impression that my concerns were brushed off and that everything is "no big deal", not much work is done to add up to an unreasonable vet bill. She made me feel like "I'm the vet and you don't know a thing" and like I was...

I'll keep weighing and updating, but so far it seems as if he's gained .5 of an ounce a week. My Mom said if I can do some really good research and find us a better vet, she would be willing. Snoopy is the black and white and Cayman (Kay-men) like the Grand Cayman Island is the orange one. :)

Ok so yesterday, kittens went to the vet. I had my Mom suggest a fecal PCR panel as you guys have suggested to me, which she did. My Mom went there with two decent sized samples. The vet said it would be "no problem" but that he "didn't need it" but why don't they "talk about it again" in May...

Little orange kitty has been getting a LOT of poop stuck to his butt. It sometimes dries out and is very difficult to remove, trying to be as careful as possible. They both already had the tear duct stains when they arrived here. And also little guy seems to have a lot of black mucus flecks...

Oh ok thanks guys. :) Orange boy is the smaller kitty. Black and white is the big boy. I'll have to try to get some pictures of them next to each other so you can see the size difference.

When the vet has looked in his mouth (at the last visit) she didn't seem to see anything wrong. His breath occasionally has a fishy smell to it but for the most part no smell to his breath and he does eat the fish flavored food.

My Mom doesn't want to press the vet to do another "work up" on the older cat because when he went in recently she claimed he was healthy. But it seemed as though it was only poking and prodding and doing a visual exam. I don't think he's gained any of that previous weight back but I've found a...

I have an update, but before I go typing it, if I just post the update without replying to you guys individually, does everyone still get notified that there's been another post? Or do you have to "quote" it so they know?

My Mom is taking them both in today, I'll have her ask for the fecal PCR. The diarrhea seems to have gotten better but both kittens poop is UNUSUALLY smelly. Has an odd smell to it too, as in it doesn't just smell like normal poop. Maybe this could just be because they're kittens? Not sure. The...

I figured it wouldn't be harmful to the other kitten, but you're saying it's ok to give as much KMR as he wishes to drink for the smaller one? (I.e. don't measure it) Just to be sure? And I mentioned that to my Mom about getting those tests, but apparently since the cattery has claimed...
