So, here we go again.
Charlie has now started acting as if he doesn't feel well. We got Hariette over her little bought of illness very recently, but it seems as if it is the kitten's turn.
He has been pretty sleepy today. Not his normal active self. He has just turned 5 months old and is currently teething. He just lost a canine last night and I feel like his gums are understandably sore. He doesn't have his normal interest in food and has been having some pretty liquid diarrhea since last night.
I also noticed that he had worm segments on his bottom this morning. I thought that we had gotten rid of the worms, but they reappeared. I gave him some wormer this morning that he had been on about a month ago. I know that his tummy is probably not feeling well, so I'm going to switch over to a bland diet to see if that helps him any. His poor bottom is sore now too.
On top of all of this, he has scratched his little ear raw. There was a little patch on the inside that is bleeding slightly. No idea why. His ear looks clear with no discharge. He's a little bit warm in general, but I know it's probably a combination of everything.
I spend so much money on Hariette last month that I don't have the money to really take him anywhere but the local country vet. Let's face it, she's not the best, but she is cheap. What is the best thing that I can do for him right now? Should I just assume that he's having a bad day today and see if things get better tomorrow? He was perfectly fine last night, running around and being his normal kitten self.
