oh for the love of......

Mom took Wendy to the shelter on Tuesday cause she and one kitten were snotty. Wendy is still...VERY snotty. We can hear her breathing under the door.....  And mom says she is pretty evil about taking the clavamox. There is talk about giving her a stronger drug, but mom isn't sure what that means for the kittens... gotta check that, though they are basically eating on their own, so no real worries.

However, mom got an email from the shelter. Seems 2 kittens from Louisa's litter tested positive for coccidia. And of course we have one in this litter. Which means the whole crew has been exposed (which could explain why Wendy is so darned skinny). They are working on a one dose treatment as opposed to the traditional 10 day course.... 

And now, of course for the cute!!

(not sure about what names go with the rest of the kittens)

Baby update.....

As we posted Thursday, none of the kittens weighed over 2 pounds for their spay/neuter surgery. The shelter ran another test and they are positive for coccidia. yeah....  sigh....  At least this can be treated and they should be better quick. Weights and "maybe" surgery next Thursday. Mom is glad they figured it out (apparently the microscope at the shelter isn't strong enough to catch this on these guys). But, Gigi was in there last week and they didn't run the test and mom has been complaining about this since we got them. So, a little frustrated. However, at least we know what it is. New drugs starting Friday....
