Well, the vet did fecals on him and found "bacteria" so there is obviously some problem. I could be exacerbating it by just letting him eat what I am feeding the others, I suppose. He's eaten Friskees before but I'll not be feeding the Wiskas, no way.
He is eating, both dry and wet foods, just not a lot. The no eating any wet has stopped; in fact he seems always hungry, even if he just licks it he wants to eat. He is trying.
He is just drinking up a storm still.
Tonight I put a little plain yogurt into his Merrick's Chicken Pot Pie, which he licked at. That bright red hiney can't feel good.
I am following him around cleaning up after him. He's lost 6 oz in 12 days, down to a mere 2 pounds today. He's over 12 weeks old.
His poo is so messy that it's now all over the ramp up to the new and adored covered litter box, so that's airing out and I'm washing the cover. Each and every time he seems to manage to get at least a little poo in his paws, and I don't want him licking it off; my washing his feet is not enjoyable anymore and he is fighting me. His butt was bright red after he went last time.
The vet will see him tomorrow. He started to perk up today but he still has the runs. I guess the plan is to try another medication. Funny thing is the meds are helping my two feral kittens--they are getting better. I wish I had a definite diagnosis for him.
