He seems to be doing better. He ate most of his wet lunch and has definitely been drinking water. His poop also had some shape to it (it's easy to tell since he doesn't cover it...ew) instead of being all liquidy.
Well, I covered it in cat litter, and hopefully I'll just be able to sweep it up (hah, I learned that from elementary school janitors!).
Beau hasn't thrown up at all since last time, and he's definitely been drinking water. The only things I could imagine that could disagree with him are...
Not at all. He's only been here for almost a month, so he's in hiding most of the time.
He threw up two more times
I can't really handle this because of my emetophobia... I closed my eyes and covered the messes in cat litter, but I don't know what else to do...
I guess we're going to the vet...
Beau vomited and had diarrhea I glanced at the vomit (I have emtophobia) and there was no hair in it or anything, so it wasn't a hairball. Is this something that warrants a visit to the vet tomorrow at 9am (unlimited free Banfield checkups, woo) or should I wait and see if it persists?
The vet gave him antibiotics. The stuff coming out of his nose is just greenish boogers, but the stuff coming out of his eyes is a reddish brown color (I thought it was blood at first!). How long should it take for it to clear up? I feel so bad for him because my bathroom is so small!
I found a flea. I didn't realize they were like 2mm long! I thought they were little microscopic bugs that were leaping around my bathroom and getting into my hair and stuff. Guess not . When I was brushing him this morning with the flea comb, I only found a few specks of flea dirt (I was...
Also, how should I clean the bathroom? Will rubbing down everything with disinfectant wipes be enough, or should I go look for a flea spray or something?

Here he is chowing down on his dry food!
I've combed so much hair out of his fur! I'm pretty sure I'll have to shave his belly (I don't have clippers, so I'll have to wait til I visit my mom on Thanksgiving); it's almost completely matted...
We're back from the vet! He isn't horribly sick, thank goodness. He has fleas, so I was given Advantage for both Beau and Braxton. We didn't get Capstar though, I forgot about it =[
He isn't neutered, but they let me sign up for the Wellness program (at Banfield at Petsmart) as a kitten, even...
Good news!
An hour ago I went to check on him, and he ran right up to me! We had an hour long brushing session, and the whole time he was purring, kneading, and rolling on his back! He ate a little bit, too! His nose and eyes seem a lot less runny! Also, I was looking at the black spots on...
I've found maybe 4 or 5 in the white parts of his fur. I would do the white paper flea test, but I don't want to hurt him with the flea comb (his fur is quite matted).
Right now he is in my closet (around 10 feet deep and 6 feet wide)/bathroom. My clothes are hanging like 4 feet off the floor. Should I be worried about the fleas getting into my clothes? Maybe I should confine him to the bathroom only?
