So I just got off the phone with the vet clinic, and the receptionist told me she was talking to the doctor. The doctor said to get a fresh stool sample from my cat and bring it into the vet clinic Friday because they close soon today. And I also have to call the local SPCA cat shelter where I adopted Tammy from and get them to transfer Tammy's medical records to the vet clinic here so they can transfer everything into my name, and then put my information into their system.
Ok good. How does she seem? Is she acting like her normal self?

She seems to be doing okay. I mean she's being her usual lazy self and currently laying down/napping on top of my dresser, which is next to my desktop computer. Guess she wanted to be close to me.
She's so beautiful and sweet! I loves her to pieces!

just catching up-sounds like she is due for the second round of worming-they worm two weeks apart-I see where you adopted her 2 weeks ago=it's most likely just time for another worming.
if she keeps up with the squirts=get some plain canned pumpkin in the bakery lane-nothing else for ingredients=just pumpkin. see if she will lick it off your finger=a teaspoon a day helps with loose/hard stools-you can try just 1/2 tsp today. you can also get plain yogurt no sugar/flavoring added and see if she will eat that-that will help her gut flora.
They can send you home with the pill to give or they can have you bring her in and worm her. some worming takes 3 tries to get rid of them. but best to save a sample of the yucks to test.

Well I'm glad she seems herself. And she definitely is as beauty. Come Friday you should have things figured out after the vet.She seems to be doing okay.

Thanks! And I sure hope that I'll know if there's anything serious going on with Tammy by sometime Friday.

Wait, are you saying that I'm supposed to give my cat worm treatments every 2 weeks?
The shelter never told me that... And I may have adopted her 2 weeks ago, but she last seen the vet in April of this year.- Joined

De-wormer is usually given once and then again two weeks later to get the eggs that hatch. Do you know if they did that?
Sounds like she might need 2 more de-wormings. My fingers are crossed for Tammy.

Wait, I'm confused now! Wouldn't the cat shelter have told me that she'd have to get de-wormed again?

No I don't know if they did that, to be honest. All it says on my cat's health passport that she has been to the vet in April of this year. I can't believe the cat shelter didn't tell me that she didn't receive her 2nd treatment... =/

Maybe she was dewormed twice? This could be something unrelated or maybe she is stubborn and needs a third deworming. Try not to worry to much, easier said than done, I am sure the vet will sort it all out on friday.Wait, I'm confused now! Wouldn't the cat shelter have told me that she'd have to get de-wormed again?
For toothpaste, I use C.E.T. brand. You can buy a cat toothbrush, C.E.T. even sells a sample pack that comes with a tiny brush. The toothpaste is not like human toothpaste, it is enzymatic, so basically if you get the paste on the teeth it will work. Your cat is young, so if he is following you around it probably just wants attention and playtime.
As for the food, just stick to something with higher-quality ingredients. It is slightly pricier, but if you can afford it, it is well worth it.

I appreciate your insight, but I've gotten the answers to my questions days ago. Thank you though.

I messaged the woman that operates the cat shelter here in my town, and she hasn't replied yet. Asked her if Tammy has had the 2 de-worming treatments or not.
Off topic, which might be good to get your mind off this for a bit, but I wanted to ask you when you went to the shelter, how did you decide on Tammy? What was it about her?
Any word?
