Thor
is very lucky to have come home to you, Cherie. And to have escaped the KY home,
which sounds bad.
I
guess first thing I would do is have him checked by your vet asap to see what
may be making him sick. For diarhea, feed broiled chicken breast and a
supplement (as the chicken isn't a complete meal) for a few days. If he's
already skinny he needs nutrition to stay in him.
Mine
looked awful when they came (off the street).
After
antibiotics for the URIs they had, and L-Lysin, Vit C, Petguard food, and then
later Frazier's Vita Min mix they looked like little princes and princesses. And
I have never washed them--it must be all from their new great diet and their own
grooming.
I am
sure stress is also to blame. That will settle down.
That
little kitty's life has already improved vastly. Kerry

The ears do not smell, so I would opt for dirty. The vomit was food now it
is just liquid she drinks alot of water afterwards....definately not a
hairball.

The muck in his ears could easily be ear mites - I would get him to the vet next week for a check up if he is OK through the weekend, with the quiet to settle in. What is in the vomit? If it looks like it could be a hairball trying to get out - try some of the hairball goop. The heating pad is a good idea. Stress can do some very strange things to our bodies. If you have a radio in there, put it on the Ideas network and he can listen to people talking (low volume of course:)) or soft classical or something.

The gal called me from KY and told me the kitty was going to get flown, I have never done that before so, I asked questions, and told her to put a blanket in with him and a washcloth over the grate, of course I would pay. When I picked Thor (he growls at everybody, the name fits, he is definately the god of thunder) up at the airport, no washcloth over the grate, no blanket just a kitchen towel. He purred in my lap all the way home...does not like anybody or anything about this house yet, he will get used to it.So all is well I kept them seperated last night, but probally about 2 hours ago he starts vomiting, and having diahrea, so now I am at a loss, he is skinny and he came dirty and there was dirt in his ears and his coat was matted, I have combed out some and cleaned his ears, but now he is just hiding behind my desk he only comes out to puke....any thoughts....could it still be the stress of the trip?I have one more coming next week and then I am full to capacity ;-))ThanksCherie
