This morning Storm was taken in to be Nutered. He was taken to a different vet, than the one that my parents took him to that gave him a 'clean bill of health' & his first set of boosters & his ear mite meds.
When my husband took him in with the records, the vet was shocked that the other vet did not 'worm' him, with him being a kitten & being an outdoor stray. So he is being wormed as well (& will worm him again I guess when we take him back there for his remaining shots... is that normal? I have not found anything strange about his feces... better safe than sorry I suppse... its only $10... but is this common?) ( again... remeber i've never had a kitten, I dont know what all must be done & what is normal and what is not)
I have been giving him his ear meds 2x's a day plus cleaning his ears 2xs a day... I thought I was doing a great job, getting some gunk each time I cleaned them... his ears looked FANTASTIC to me... Well when my husband took him in, the Vet swabbed them and got alot of black stuff
Apparently I wasnt getting deep enough... So he is going to be doing an 'Ear Flush' on him. I was afraid to clean too deep, I didnt want to hurt his ears...
On the Nutering... a friend of mine will be picking him up at 1:00 and bringing him home to me. How long does it take for a kitten to recover from a Nuter? What I'm saying is, my plan was to start introductions after he recovers. I dont want him to get injured or anything.
Also, being on the ear mite meds for the 7 days and having the ear flush... will he be ok to be out & around my kitties?... I certianly dont want an ear mite outbreak in my house...
