Hey Karen, Yes, you need to watch the diarrhea closely. Not the actual diarrhea itself (LOL), but make sure it isn't getting out of hand because kitty could become dehydrated just like us humans from losing fluid.
Aren't the kittens so cute?! It's so funny how each of them has their own little personality. Have your kittens been wormed? If not, you might look into that. A lot of times, strays will have tapeworms from fleas, or other types of worms. Worms might cause tummy discomfort, which could cause the kitties to mew when you pick them up. Other times, they just might be mewing to mew when picked up, you know? Other members here who've had more experience with worms might be able to help you shed some light here. I LOVE your lighthearted attitude towards the situation. It makes me smile when I read your posts. :) Wendy --- clarissa- Floyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: --------------------------------- hi everyone, this being a new social medium for me im not doing well responding to the emails.the kids and i are adding the kitties and "human pets" to prayers. the manual has been a help as well as the emails, the sugestions and the support have been a godsend ! reading about vacinations and recomendations on where to administer them and why was needed info but a bit much. maybe i just have too vivd an imagination. kept picturing my son's stitch hoping around. so far i've made apointments w the new vet to get the boys fixed. the earliest they can get the 3 in together is march 1st. have to figure out finances to determine how soon we can get the girls done. and ive contacted both vets to get copies of all the bills ive payed so far. i'm going to wait till i get those to talk to the humane society. im going to take the doctor bills for me n the kids in from when we got ringworm from the kittens as well as the vet bills. the HS put us off for a month on medication for the ringworm and for 3 months on getting them fixed so i figure they can wait till i can handle talking to them about keeping the kittens. until march is there anything i should look into to help the "herd" ? some of ya'll have sugested the mega c which ill look into. at least 1 of them has diarea (havent managed to figure out which 1 yet but might be stitch since we took her out in the cold to be re-tested for the FeLV) is diarea something i need to watch closely ? if so why ? some of them meow softly when we pick them up. dont know if its just because i havent been able to spend as much time with them as usual or if it could indicate something else. only salem "talks" much and you could pet him 24/7 and he'd still act like your neglecting him. lol im so glad someone mentioned the reactions to having so many critters ! i started out w 14 and even though im down to 8 ppl i know think i should be medicated for this :) ok, the kids are taking the keyboard from me. thanks everyone !! karen & "the herd" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ funniest thing ive ever seen .... a herd of kittens chaseing the same ball across a room ! (throwing 3 balls at once is just mean )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
