Ok we made it into the vet this morning and he met us there.
It's weak, but I don't think IT'S about to die anymore.
IT wants to bounce back.
IT has a virus. A virus that is not unusual to be found in kittens. The virus has a name, I forgot it already. The vet says it is just going to run it's course and he can't treat the virus itself. But we have medicine to put in IT's eyes and some antibiotics also that It needs to fight the bacteria from the virus.
He said IT is too sick to be giving vaccines right now. We have to bring IT back to the office in 1 week to start those and at that time, take an Aids test and feline leukemia test, but not right now.
He was able to de-worm. I think he said he used pyrantel?
He said it's a good thing Dan bathed IT because IT was looking anemic. So we have to bath IT every single day to be sure we keep the fleas off and the flea dirt etc.
He wants IT on a good diet so we stopped at the store and bought some Fancy Feast, and a variety of other cat foods on the way home. No more Oscar Myer bun size beef franks....OK.
Since this looks like this is IT, I invested in a little pink baby blanket, a kitty litter box, and a cute little bowl on the way home. Oh yes, and a little toy rattle......
Soon as we can, we want to find IT a little pink rhinestone collar or something since IT is now officially an indoor kitty........something that I said would NEVER happen in this house because two dogs are enough in here and I am highly allergic to cats. But what's a mother to do? If IT stayed out in the hay room, the other healthy litter of kittens would have caught this virus. And also, IT is too little to have been able to survive outside like a barn cat.
We just got home and Michael just gave IT a bath and it's medicines and is rocking IT to sleep with IT's rattle. IT likes the rattle.
