(Someone move this if it's in the wrong section, please
This seemed like the right area)
....And he's sleeping in my lap as I type.
So, let's say....my friend doesn't have very good living conditions (I mentioned the lack of money before)...so the little guy came to me yesterday afternoon with fleas ALL OVER, worms, and scummy ears (The vet said no ear mites showed up on the slides, but she didn't see how his ears could be that icky without them, so we're treating just in case).
I visited the vet clinic later that day to make an appointment for the little guy, and bought some Advantage to give to him.
I'd been isolating him in the livingroom so he wouldn't give anything to my other animals, but he did nooot want me to leave him..... so I went out there and slept on the couch with him.
In the morning.... NO FLEAS. Before, especially under his chin, I could just LOOK at that patch and see fleas teaming all through his hair, but this morning? Black specks, yes....but they no longer moved. I brushed him; a couple dead fleas turned up, but other than that....nothing.
I was preeeetty pleased.
When I took him for his appointment, he did pretty well. They cleaned his ears, tested for mites, gave him a de-worming shot, and his first vaccination. (There's also another medicine that I'm supposed to syringe-feed him in ten days)
And I decided I'm switching him over to either Science Diet or Purina One. (I was going to do that anyway, but was unsure of the best brand to give him instead of his cheap Safeway food. )
Other than those parasites.....
He's healthy!
I'd been worried about anything serious (Infections, etc) but it looks like he doesn't have any!
Alright, now that I've gone over all that.... here's some pictures I snapped of him.
Most of these will be him sleeping
My apartment isn't very well-lit, and it's hard to take pictures of moving things without a lot of light.
Then I used the flash....and discovered something strange....
My kitten is an alien!
Markings = coincidence?
I think not.
Look cloooselier....
Hmm?
Haha
And the last picture......
Aaaand I'm done now
Just wanted to share my excitement with you guys.
